Spoon

Oh but lately all I've been doing is smiling. No angry face! I've been so happy~ Because of a nice friend I had, she's really cool. Knows how to make me smile and when. It's just... a problem I've had since I was little. Though I'm trying to overcome it.

And I fail at manners too. X3

Umm... because it barely gets cold?

Don't get me wrong; I love living by myself and being at uni and things, but there are just so many things I took for granted at home that I really miss now, like having an oven, being able to go to the fridge and hunt for snacks, there being a vacuum cleaner I could use any time (our cleaner comes once a week and she's awful D:) and not having to wash my own clothes. I hate having to do my own washing.

I hardly eat any fruit here; it's really expensive. And I don't have any way to cook vegetables, so I just pile loads of carrots, broccoli and things on my plate whenever I go to the dining hall X3

I can't stand greasy food at all. I don't normally like anything that's been fried, though I'll make an exception for fried eggs and chips (French fries for you, I guess).

Aw, you don't need to make someone else own the club; even if you're not as active in it as you'd like to be, it still has loads of visitors and is definitely one of the most successful clubs on the fourm :3
I want to do a group picture because they all look so cool~

Yup; at uni we don't get breaks in the middle of term, but we have extra-long holidays during times like Christmas or the summer (we get three months off for summer :D). So hopefully I'll be able to do something useful with that time, unlike the summer just gone where I mostly sat around and either read fanfiction or watched DVDs of things.

I like arguing about things I have a really strong view on, like homosexuality or the death penalty. I'm not really very passionate about things like drugs or vegetarianism because I think it's really down to personal choice, and my views about things like abortion and euthanasia in general are very different to my views about abortion and euthanasia in relation to the law, which make it difficult. And it's really impossible to debate about religion because faith, by definition, has no empirical evidence, so it's destined to lose every time.

I can remember (non-numerical) things decently, but I'm not very good at applying them to broader concepts and things. I can't think of a good example, but it made the exam quite difficult. I make no sense :D

I'm normally tired if I get less than 8 hours sleep or more than about 11. Too much sleep makes me very sleepy x3 But most of the time I have gaps between lectures, so I can come home and sleep it off.
My uni friends are absolutely awesome~ I miss my friends from back home terribly, but meeting new people at uni is very easy and a lot of fun.

The weirdest thing about university (for me, at least) is the whole concept of living by myself and having the responsibility to remember when things need doing (like shopping or washing) and having to organize my money to make it last the month and things. The work itself isn't bad; the subject matter is interesting and while it's much harder than school was, there's much less of it.
And all the people are lovely~ There are loads of ways to meet new people, though joining clubs and societies is the best. Kent's fencing society is the most fun thing ever :D And the people in my seminar groups (I have two kinds of lessons; lectures, where it's one lecturer talking to a group of about 200 students, and seminars, where a seminar leader helps a group of about 20 discuss points raised in the lecture) are very nice, too.

Do you get paid for your library work? As far as jobs go, working in the library was great for me, but I'd still have preferred to stay in bed till 2pm on Saturdays if I didn't get paid.
You organize series alphabetically? That's just weird. Where I worked, we'd put things like the Harry Potter books in chronological order, books where there were a bazillion in the series and were taken out all the time (like the freaking Rainbow Magic books, which despise with a passion) in any old order, though I think most adult fiction series were filed alphabetically. I forget XD

Aww, I'm glad :D

It's an anxiety issue of mine, I can't really help it. And... not really. I'm usually not thinking about angry things. It's just... my natural expression?

I get everything all over my shirts and my mouth and face and it's like a 2 year old with very limited motor skills~

Umm... hurricanes and humidity? It is REALLY humid, my Floofyarylettcurls are going crappy right now.

I keep craving random foods that were readily available at home (like carrots or chocolate), but I don't buy here because they either go off too quickly or are too expensive. Sad, I know. But I have my George Foreman grill now, so I can make toast and other exciting things like veggieburgers :D
My sister came up to see me and made some meat-burgers on it and we were both revolted with how much fat dripped off it XD

Aww, you don't have to feel obliged to comment on my thread... I've been getting really lazy with other people's and it makes me feel terrible. But the Obsessive Scribbler's club is quite possibly my favourite thread on the whole forum and now I can't wait till next month because I'm going to do an art version of a NaNoWriMo (NaArtDraMo?) which should be great fun and should hopefully get me back into the swing of drawing stuff. And December has Christmas, of course :D

Mm, I hate writing introductions and conclusions to essays, too. I'm okay with the middle part, but the opening and ending are always terrible.
We get to pick what we want to write about, but at the moment I'm doing an annotated bibliography on the question "The Government claims Britain’s rate of teenage pregnancy is far too high. What arguments are made by critics of this claim? Do you agree with them?", which is quite interesting, except I can't stand anything to do with babies and pregnancy and things. Other essay titles (for Social Policy and Social Research: The Youth, the Family and the State, one of my modules; my core module being Sociology) include "What are the factors that have triggered change in youth transitions in contemporary societies?" and one I'm actually looking forward to researching and writing; "To what extent does illicit drug taking form a central part of youth culture?". Should be good, eh?

Aww, I remember fungi. I used to kind of enjoy biology for the learning bits, but hated having to memorize every last detail for the exam-passing bits. At A-level (exams you take when you're 17-18) I failed my transport module (which was about osmosis, bulk transport, mass flow and those kinds of things, as well as the structure of the heart and circulatory system) three times before finally getting a C in my final retake x.x

I don't mind staying up till midnight; nearly every evening my friends Jemma and Ruth come over and we play card games and watch stuff like House and 24 until about 3 in the morning XD
Luckily for me, I only have two early starts (I have to be up for 10 on Mondays and Thursdays) and have four days of the week completely free (the weekend plus Tuesday and Wednesday), though I write essays and stuff in that time. But I get up very late indeed :D

How's your library work going? How big's your library?

I don't know where you'd buy the CD (eBay might be your best bet), but I got a friend of mine to rip it from Youtube. Which is horribly illegal I know, but I buy CDs the vast majority of the time.
I've been listening to the HSM3 soundtrack and Idina Menzel's new CD pretty much on repeat since I bought them :D

Hehe; I'm glad you like my messages. Even if they are stupidly long most of the time :3

Me too~! Except I don't really apologize for bumping into people, I'm too quiet and shy to say anything, as hard as that may be to believe. And I walk around angry faced, so people think I'm quite... unsociable. X3

Awww poor Spoonie. It's okay, Arylett + Food = BIG MESS. When I eat, I get it all over myself~

It sounds so pretty!

Muffintoast sounds great. Anythingtoast sounds great, actually; I don't have a toaster here and I keep craving toast, especially to go with things like beans or spaghetti. Such is life X3

I've finally started drawing things again~ I updated my thread with some quick scribbles and hope to put some better stuff up by the end of the week.

Some textbooks are interesting, but often I get distracted by the interesing bits. Like, we were told to read the introduction chapter to give us a background to sociology and people like Weber and Marx. But there were chapters about stuff like religon, terrorism and sex and gender, so I got distraced and ended up reading a ton of interesting stuff that wasn't actually what I was supposed to have read XD

But at the moment I've got a ton of essays to do by next month... I'm in the process of researching social class relating to ease of transition to adulthood and I keep getting annoyed at things being so nonspecific (after all, how do you define "adulthood"?) and the short wordcount (it's only 1500 words and I want to write so much more so I can get my points across better). But it's not so bad.

I joined my uni's anime club, too, and they're so much fun. The people there are all lovely and absolutely nuts and it's just great. We meet to watch stuff at about 7 on Thursdays and don't normally finish before midnight XD
We watched Read or Die the other week, which is one of my all-time favourites (if only because the super-secret, world-saving organization is the British Library. You can't get cooler than that), and I've met a few people who like PW, too. I'm also in the process of making my new friends play it. :D

German is such a cool language... I took it for a year about 5 years ago and can't remember anything (though I know a few words because I downloaded the Wicked OST in German, which is so, so awesome). Enjoy it! :D

And this is one of the longest, most rambly and complaint-filled messages I’ve written in a long time XD

I get what you're saying. I suck at that too, eeep. Nooo, we both can't take a complement!

Aaaaah, care to explain? X3

Oooh, sounds pretty. Unfortunately we lack seasons here, no leaves changing or anything. Everything's just sort of the same all year 'round... REALLY hot.

Yup, it's college's fault entirely; I've hardly drawn anything since I got here because I spend the vest majority of my time haning out with other people and it feels rude to be drawing and things. And I'm finding myself with less motivation to draw (I think because I use up every ounce of motvation reading all those stupid textooks D<)... I've started colourng that Emerald City pic I did a while back and have made a very small attempt on a Obassive Scribblers group pic, but Lord knows when it'll be done -.-

It's great to hear from you, though; how're things with you?

It's okay, neither do I. I'm just all: "Ummm... apparently I'm pretty? Okay?"

You can just make one, it's not that hard. X3 I could tell you how I made it, but I think I lost that crown. I'll have to make another one. And wheee, coloured crown! Excellent idea. Then I'd be even crazier.

Pretty leaves? Ooooh. What do they look like?

Yaaaaaay indeed~

But Spoonie is still pretty! She's a pretty one. ^^

An enjoyable randomness. X3 I put on a PAPER CROWN. I knew you guys would enjoy it.

SpoonPicture, yaaay! ;;Claps hands;;

Oooh Spoonie, you're pretty. Though your expression scares me a bit. X3 Nice eyes and very nice hair though.

And ahahahaha, my video was stupidfunny. I'm glad it amused you. X3

draw, watch anime read manga this is all

Okay Spoonie! ;;Salutes;;

Also, eep, I didn't see when you asked if I minded that we move this to Personal Messaging. I don't mind.

X3 And the latest one makes Arylett cackle very much so~ RoyalUtensilshipping~ Wonderousawesomenocityshipping is wonderousawesomenocity~ X3 I adore that thread as well Spoonie, I adore it as well. ;;Immensely amused;;

You're welcome! Oh Spoonie dear, fanta-ish is an awesomenocity word which deserves to be added to my awesomenocity dictionary~ Well dear, the words that you do have are awesomenocity. <3 Omelet? X3 What? My poor brain is the one that cannot cope. X3 Wheeee, yay! ;;Excited for art thread update;;

Aww Spoonie. <3 ;;Gives you the Arylettdeathgriphug, which is like this totally lung crushing hug which Arylett gives to people who are awesomenocity;;

To join the RSP social group, KQ, the starter of the RP, must invite you~ And she should, just wait for an invite~ I do, I do dear, he is so meek and just :3. I myself don't really understand the whole Psychic thing. X3 What would you like me to attempt to explain? What aspect of it?

As do I, Spoonie, as do I~ ;;Still procrastinating on unfinished homework;;

;;Celebrates with Evilarylettplotting face;; X3 This is sure to amuse you Spoonie~

WonderousAwesomenocityshipping! XDXD I love it! That's the official name, the official name for Arylett X Spoonie~ X3 ;;Immensely amused;; And you don't need excuses, because I understand. :3 And yes, that's the entire reason I created that thread. XD

Oooh, fanta-ish! ;;Must add to the Awesomenocityarylettdictionary;; Oh don't worry, dear, I don't think you lack awesomenocity when it comes to that~ X3 Social awkwardness wins it all! I don't know what it wins, but it certainly wins. And yes, updateupdateupdate! I can't wait to see Treecko embryos and SpoonPictures! Whoo~ ;:Excited;; Spoonchu, you should totally do that. X3 Oooh Spoonie, just think of a Pokémon you really like. Or that really suits you, and use it to represent yourself~ ;;Still thinks you're Espeon-ish;; Arynoa's all done! X3 She just needs colour~ (The girl in my avatar's name is Rinoa, so that's why she's called Arynoa~) ;;Still procrastinating, procrastinates on homework;;

Very wonderousawesomenocity~ Thank you Spoonie for the advice. :3

Oh don't worry, you can't post at the wrong time~ Nice application~ :3 Also, X3. I think he might dislike you hugging him too~

We're all scatterbrained~ Yay for ScatterbrainedArtists!

Wheee, also huzzah for Spoonie's wonderousawesomenocity! ;;Celebrates;;

D'aww, thank you. X3

You have a good day of non-moving age~

Sup.

Mmmm, it was OK. Fun, at any rate. :D

Oh, I'm not really bothered. Criticise whichever ones you want~ Also, it's not a problem. :3 (Also, X3. Those Arylett X Spoon shippings in the shipping thread is making me crack up. InsomniacArtistsshipping~ Caninefanshipping~)

Happidelic, oh my God, the words practically invent themselves! How do I come up with these things? I'm glad you like it though. X3 Also, me too~ I'm always afraid I'll make a mistake. Oooh, I want to see a drawing of Spoonie! And I don't care if they're ultra-chibi, I'm sure they're awesomenocity. :D (Arylettchu. X3 Oh deeaar, me as a Pikachu! Insanity, I do say~ I'm already working on Arynoa, which is a picture of me dressed as the girl in my avvie, since everyone seems to think I look like her. XD And Arylett in the fashionable clothing STILL needs colour, oh my, I'm such a procrastinator~)

Hmm, I see. My friend seems to think it's a possibility, she knows how I am~ (She's the one who suggested I go see someone. But she did it in a nice way, of course, she didn't say it like: "You're crazy! Go see someone!" She was more like: "I really care about you, you know? And I really would like to see you happier. Alone, you can't do this, you have to go get help." Yeeeah, she's really nice. <3) Good news though, the insurance is coming soon! October and then I can go and FINALLY see what's wrong with me. Oh trust me, Spoonie, it's been a looong time that Arylett's been suffering. D: Maybe medication might help me, it depends on what they suggest. But I'm glad it's working for you, I'm glad you're happidelic Spoonie. :3

Yaay. I'm looking forward to having you in the RP. :D Rainer, whee~ Oooh, the fic sounds sort of interesting actually.

I'll try to remember to show up. X3 ;;Arylett is scatterbrained;;

XD That's a good thing, if you find most things amusing! It means you're happier most of the time! Also, oh wow, your facial expression... I'm so sorry. D:

Ooh Spoonie, but I do it out of the goodness of my Arylettheart~ X3 All that matters is the thought of the matter, isn't it? At least, you attempted to comment. XD Drawsboooorough~ The title just came to me, like that.

Arylett is quite happidelic to hear that Spoonie is happy about her being happy~ Wheeee~ (Third person is fun, Spoonie~) Yeah but you draw canines, not yourself. X3 I mean and now Kinova wants me to draw Arylettchu! Oh dear, you people are only inspiring the egotisticalness. XD

Oooh. Maybe I've got something like that then, because it sounds sort of like me actually. I don't get quite a few things. When I talk to people, certain things go waaaay over my head. I think maybe it's um, ADHD, actually. Lots of trouble focusing on people's words and whatnot. Not the hyper kind, just the "I can't focus on anything" kind. I hear people, I can hear them talking to me... but I can't make sense of their words a lot of the time. It's like a different language. Also, I've got this intense anxiety around strangers, really intense. Does medication help things like this? Thank you Spoonie, that's really nice of you~ :3

Ooooh, I likes the sound of that. :D Your character sounds cool~ Male or female? And what's their name? ;;Asking a million things;; Also, I'm sure it's not pathetic, this fic~

I'll go give the scribble a check out~ Yay, wonderous! :3

You find it amusing? XD People in real life think it's weird or creepy, People here, I think didn't at all expect me to have such an angry face. I think they expect me to constantly be grinning or something~

Aww Spoonie. :3 I really should comment in yours more often, I shall try to combat my laziness.

Yeah, I know it did, I just like pointing out stuff for no reason. X3 Aww, you like the Arylett Method! Okay, I shall go give it a colouring, Procrastinatoress Spoonie. What's a Raposa, by the way? And all I draw basically are Pokémon, canines, my weird nonsensical Creations, and me. X3 ;;Still self centered;;

May I ask, if it's not too personal or prodding, what PDDNOS entails? Also, the thought of medication makes me a bit... uneasy. I don't know, I just keep thinking it'll change my personality or something... And I'm not sure if it's bad enough for medication, it might be, it depends on what they tell me. My mom's going to go take me to see a counselor/therapist/whatever, I've already told her that I have some issues, but first we have to get health insurance, so I have to wait a bit~

Oh, don't worry about your writing skills not being good enough~ From what I've seen in the RP, they'll probably be plenty good!

I made sense of it. :D And I joined the Oekaki~

Huzzah, indeed~ Also, here's Arylettdeathstare for you~ I just took a shower, so my hair's not really curly or floofy in this picture.
