[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! :)

That is me with a new friend, a four year old giant with a fractured leg. We bonded instantly. Above is Lucius, the horse I hope to lease very soon, a giant of a medieval war steed.

Will have to check for the Imperio version of potions to send to owner to give Perseus his lease ;)
