Long story short: Ciara ripped off my bedroom blind. Storm can have little a property damage. As a treat. Still dealing with consequences of that. My blood pressure going from 10/5 to 12/6 day of was the only physical damage (I had an unrelated doctor visit, lol).

In happier news, I signed up for fandomforoz, offering art and fic. My post is here.

I went to do the Color Run today (no u because it was originally an US event, but that hurt to type). It's a 5k run where you get colour thrown at you every kilometer.

It's been ages since I need any kind of serious physical activity, because I've been having a lot of things to deal with. Recently, one particular thing ahs been eating my brainspace to a ridiculous extent. I don't have the brainpower to do much besides that one thing, and when I do get the brainpower for fannish things, Night on Fic Mountain modding takes priority. (It's been ages since I got to draw or read or write properly and that's never a good sign.)

Long story short, on Tuesday, a friend told me that another friend wouldn't be able to go and would I be interested? I said yes, because it sounded fun and I was hoping it'd clear my head a little.

Well, it was a lot of fun!

I didn't do a lot of running, but I did run at the start, at every colour point and at the finish line. Call it something like 10-20%? I finished though, which was good, as my knee gave out on the way to the burger place where me and the other people in our 'team' went to eat.

I tried to get as much colour on me as possible, because why the hell not, you know? That's kind of the whole point (that and the benefits being given to a charity I like). I spend 20+ minutes showering after and not all of it's gone, hahaha.

I did not, however, do the whole thing dressed as a Roman, with laurel wreath and scarlet cloak. Some people did (pics tomorrow). There were a lot of people dressed up one way or another, but only the Romans stuck with me and they're the only ones I have pics (well, one) of.

I really enjoyed the sense of comradery that was shared with everyone in the race. Also, that bit where we teamed up to get green in V's hair, that was a lot of fun (VENGEANCE IS MINE).

Additionally, if you've never had people decked in half a pound of coloured powder give you life advice over burgers, you're missing out.

TL;DR: Really fun, muscles hurt, must sleep now.

Today, I got my copy of Joanne Harris's Runemarks in the mail. I really enjoy this book and am quite looking forward to reading it on paper.

I have also started coding what I'm calling "Ragnarok: A Step-by-Step Guide", which is a Norse mythology based text-adventure. The goal will be to avoid Ragnarok, or, failing that, to survive. So far there are 11 playable characters, 3 different sets of stats and you can pick how many worlds you want there to be in your universe. It's really fun to code, and hopefully to play too.

I've also found a crate of books in the street. Literally, a crate, on the street. Naturally, I took it home (after checking it didn't belong to anyone). It's a really varied selection, going from Moliere to Bob Morane.

Now that I have both the time and the internet to do this, let me tell you about the last 2 weeks.

Prom: There was a problem with the tux: they hadn't registered the reservation so I couldn't get one, but I made do with some of what was in my closet, which turned out pretty okay.

I was half an hour late, but still the first one there.

Prom was fairly alright, except at the end when I had to cheer up 2 or 3 different depressed people, get shouted on by another (and told to excuse her because she had a "good excuse", which quite frankly wasn't and goddammit she told me to "FUCK OFF" twice when I was just asking if she was okay, and AAAAAAAAAARRGggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh....), and had to take care of a drunken, throwing-up friend of someone in my class whose name I don't even know.

The next Monday I had to get an MRI for my ankle problem. Like the X-ray and the echography it didn't show anything.

So I'm going to have a needle inserted in my foot to inject me with a cocktail of anesthetics and painkillers next Friday.

Also exams, EXAMS, EXAAAAAAAAAAAAMS, somebody save me please (or build me a time-machine).

Just so you guys know I'm not dead, it's just that RL has been... difficult lately.

This is due mostly to exams and my ankle getting twisted.

ALSO, one of my best friends has disappeared almost 2 weeks ago.

This evening I was supposed to go see "District 9" at the theater with friends.

I organised everything: the day, the place, the movie (open to change, mind you) because I know that those losers always forget about me when they plan stuff (like the Rocky Horror Picture Show which I learned on the day itself was happening therefore I already had plans. (Doctor appointment.) Serously Guys! Would it kill you to tell me about that stuff?) Hell, I even accounted for Catacombs's inability to plan more than 2 days ahead. And everyone of them knew about it for about a week.

So I send them a mail to make it official. Of the half a dozen people I sent that mail to, only 2 responded: a no and a maybe (from Catacombs). On the day itself, I asked her if she was going to come. She said maybe (Apparently, now, she can't plan 2 hours ahead. Dear God, woman! Get organized already). Straggler also said maybe, but most likely not.

As I was unwilling to drag myself halfway across Paris for someone who might not come, I said screw this and organised something else. More like I latched on someone else's plan, actually, but she was fine with it, so who cares.

As I was dragging myself to the get-together place, it started raining. THERE WAS NO ONE THERE. So I got back home and got utterly drenched, like all the way to my underwear or something. From a 15 minute walk. Guh.

Off to dinner with the family now.
