[neverwhere]

Sometimes I wonder why I bother writing in my journal at all. It seems like no one is reading it anymore, so what's the point?

No, that's probably just me being selfish and craving more attention, with a bit of worry that my friends don't like what I have to say anymore thrown in. I guess I'm just being paranoid. Bah. Nevermind, back to our orginally scheduled programming... :)


I'm re-learning the piano, hurrah! I took lessons when I was younger, and got up to Grade 5 (which is pretty good, thank you very much), but quit when I was 12 because I couldn't be bothered to practice anymore. Now, of course, I wish I hadn't been so lazy and continued my lessons, so I could actually play with grace and ease, instead of floundering around the scales like I am now. I'm not terrible, but I'm certainly nowhere near as good as I once was. ashfae has seen me stumble around the keys, and I think she probably laughed (quietly, and with affection ;-) at my rather futile attempts to play. But no more shall I be useless! I intend to make some extra money giving singing lessons, so I had better know my way around the piano a damn sight better than I do now. Wish me luck! :)


I read the most amazing thing in the paper this morning -- a 12 year old boy saved the life of his brother by pushing him out of the way of a falling tree during the massive wind storms we had in the UK this weekend. He was crushed by the tree, but his 16 year old brother survived with only minor bruises. Absolutely unbelievable. My faith in the goodness of humanity has been restored. :)


I hate the new Two Towers poster. Ugh. I like the continuity of the muted colour scheme, but everyone looks horrible in it, and there's NO PIPPIN! Where has my baby gone?! Have they decided to cut him out of the film and not told anyone yet? *shudders at the thought* Oh, and XenArwen must burn. Buuuurn.


New friends are such wonderful things, aren't they? Please say hello to fellow not-quite-Londoner o0hugsnkisses0o! Whooot!


Finally found what seems to be a decent Harry Potter community on LiveJournal -- thanks caersidi for pointing me towards sane_potter. *hugs*


I was thinking I should start my own community, but for what? I so many interests and silly things that I'm passionate about, so where to begin? Any suggestions? :)


*yawn* I am now a sleepy Nevvie, so I shall bid you all a fond goodnight. Goodnight! :)

Oh my goodness.

Only 10 comments on your last entry?

Oh the humanity!

That's...
That's...

More than I get in a month.

Geez : P Just 'cos we don't comment don't mean we're not reading.

*lol*

Thanks for sobering me up, wench. :-P

I know I know, I'm so ungreatful -- but when you've been up to 90, its only downhill from there...*grins*

I was about to say something similar - that you need to pay more attention the the comment activity in your friend's journals. If we felt that what we said was a waste of time because no one commented on it, most of us would have stopped writing a long time ago and then where would we all be?

BUt we still love you anyways...

Gah.

I feel like such a twit.

*hugs*

We all are some time or another. Sometimes it takes a reality check to shut those silly little doubts up and put them in their place.

It's not you who is the twit, it's that little mental recorder inside you that keeps trying to tell you you're worthless. Stupid little thing. Been working hard this week to shut mine up too. It thinks that because nobody said something in LJ about the poems I posted recently that I have lost my touch, but I know better. I will just have to beat that little guy into submission again...

When I read poems and I enjoy them, I feel so redundant saying "nice poems", and so I don't comment. They stand on their own, anything I say wouldn't add to their effect.

Which is perfectly fine.

My inner weasel was only acting up this weekend because I had been dealing with a few more outer weasels than normal. It wasn't that I really needed to be praised for my writing - part of me just wanted a sign that I wasn't the horrible person these people were trying to tell me I was.

And of course, I realized how silly it was since I did show each one of these weasels they were wrong - so I refrained from announcing my moment of weakness in LJ. I did ask for hugs somewhere else though.

I just wanted Nevvie to know that I did understand her insecurity. But still, I am glad to know my works please you.

*hugs*
