yuuagoArchaic Mark is a 19th-century forgery, not a medieval manuscript
On the one hand, it's a damn shame that it isn't real. On the other hand, I've always found forgeries fascinating. I like speculating about the motivations behind their creation, and the process that the creator went through to get the final product. It's just so neat.
By the way, most of the cards are sent out. There are just three that I still have left to do, and they're all in Canada - will be sending them out soon. I know that at least one person has already received their card <3 I'm rather happy about that. Hopefully everything will get to people before Christmas.
Notifs still not working, but it looks like things are actually starting to push through the line. Good. It's kind of crazy how much I rely on them. You don't appreciate something you have until it's broken. Keeping up a conversation is difficult, and roleplaying is almost out of the question (I haven't the patience to keep f5ing).
Going to bed unusually early tonight. I have an essay due late tomorrow afternoon, but I think it will be far more productive for me to get a good night's sleep than it would be for me to stay up all night and try to pound my way through it. So, for the first time in quite a while, I'm going to go to bed at a semi-reasonable hour, and get up at a semi-reasonable hour too. Amazing. My sleeping patterns really need to re-arrange themselves before I head out to visit my parents, sigh. So for tonight, it's a cup of herbal tea, then bed. Maybe a chapter of my fantasy book before I turn out the light and call it good.
I'm leaving on the 15th. My time is going to be very limited while I'm there, and I'm not too thrilled about it. I have no idea how I'm going to get everything finished - but I'll manage, somehow. On the one hand, distractions during the evening. On the other hand, mum and dad are still working, and my brother no longer lives with them, so at least I'll have peace and quiet during the daytime. It's strange, too - that place no longer feels like my home. It's not my house, it's their house. This place in Saskatoon, this is my house. So for that reason, I feel kind of reluctant acting entirely freely when I'm there. That will help with motivation, I'm sure.
Guy came over to check out the radiator today. He was surprised at how chilly it was in my house. Apparently, there was something admiss with the rad. Well, he poked and prodded it, and it's working a bit better now. He also managed to get the one in the kitchen working, which pleases me immensely. Gods know that one has never ever worked the entire time I've lived here, so it's nice to have that done. Hopefully I won't have to use my heater much in the future.
Mnh, I've been in a strange mood for days, and it seems today was even stranger. I'm not quite sure how to describe it. I think maybe I just need to get out of this house. Part of the problem is that it's too cold out, and I have no reason to go anywhere anyway, but... ah. Well. What can a person do? I guess I'll just have to wait it out. Sigh. It doesn't help that I've been stressed out from school and such. Essays, essays, essays - not to mention that I have a ton of e-mails in my inbox that I just can't bring myself to read right now. Well, I'll get that done, maybe tomorrow evening. Sigh.
On a fanfiction-related note, don't expect anything from me until after Christmas, period. On the other hand, some other people are producing some good stuff right now. If you like the Nordics, and you like genfic, might want to read Until Someone Loses An Eye by Kainoliero, if you haven't done so already. Reading this was juuuust the de-stresser I needed today.
