back 2 skewl

First of all, cuttlefish and octopi! Also someone just faved this old thing, lol wtf

Back from winter vacation...finally, I suppose. Most people went back last week or so, I know. Our school dropped a week from spring vacation to add to winter vacation. They started last year, it's still sort of experimental, they're trying to see if it helps mitigate the loss of concentration between spring vacation and the end of the semester, lol.

I have a roommate again. She seems nice! She's very...very...normal, but also quite sweet, and she's a music major. So far she doesn't seem discouraged by the fact that my conversational skills mostly consist of saying 'yeah' a lot when I feel socially intimidated. Which is pretty much all the time.

Her bedsheets are black with pink accents. 6 u 9 also she seem to have lowered my Slytherin banner on the door, but I'm assuming that was an accident. The wood on the doors is terrible for sticking things in, so I wouldn't be surprised if she just brushed against the banner and the pin holding it up fell out, and she couldn't get it back in where it was (I practically had to hammer it in...IDK what kind of wood this is, superwood apparently)

or maybe she is a Gryffindor and my serpentine crest offends her

Gryffindors like pink, right? e n e

Also, augh, it is cold. And I realized too late that Derek had been using my awesomest fleecey that I keep at school usually in his basement den all winter vacation, so I'll have to have mom wash it over the weekend, but for now I don't have it, waaaahhhh my feeeet are coooooldddd ;n;

I'm looking forward to a proper sleep. I was starting to have...weird dreams at home.

Currently reading The People in the Attic by Doretta Johnson. I advise you not to read it unless you're hardcore into personal experience stories like I am. This woman is incredibly obnoxious and half the book is her whining about how she was 'coerced' into attending therapy sessions with her sister (who she tries so hard to help, despite her sister being, in her estimation, a deadbeat druggy brat). Also, I think the whole book is probably a mess of abuse-related triggers (domestic violence and sexual abuse) so if you do want to read it, be aware of that. It's kind of like this room in the werewolf haven in Dragon Age: Origins that was full of fire traps and Alistair kept standing in the fucking fire and not moving. (Alistair is not really part of this analogy, I am just always fondly exasperated by him.) I may have to make a human noblewoman character just to court him. Maybe another rogue, but an archer this time.

That would be four characters that I'll have going.

In my main game (elf rogue, dual weapon wielder, assassin) I've got the elves on my side and have almost got the dwarves.

Oh god how did I start talking about Dragon Age

( Right here is some aramii instead )

is a group of maldras called a 'killing'

so um

I designed some more aramii stuff

( There are a lot of maldras under here. A LOT. )
