I'm so mad at the boy, and it's WEIRD, because it's not like we had a fight, or anything, he just made a couple of comments today that annoyed me big time even when they weren't that important, or anything. I don't know. But I don't want to be mad at him at this moment, I'm going over to see him in less than three weeks, I want us to have a good time while I'm there, and, argh. It doesn't help that I'm PMSing and have been irritable as of lately.

Dating is for crazies. And boys are stupid.

(sorta.)

Ugh.

We're such different people, and we live in such different worlds, and he can be so judgemental about things that don't 'help humanity or the world' or whatever and I can be so bitchy and pissy at times... Bah.

I wonder what it is that makes us revert to our petty child-selves when we're with our parents. I mean, it's as if we went back to the position we had in the family at like age 10, or something. I act more pampered and whiny with my family than when I'm on my own, definitely.

And take, for example, the boy, who is usually a really rationally-driven man that strives for independence and yadda yadda. When we were at his parent's house for Easter, though? Yikes, it was as if I'd suddenly gotten a different boyfriend, one that was a surly teenager of about 15 and spoke only in monosyllables and radiated 'you totally don't understand my woe!!1!' vibes. Like, he's quite aware of how doing PhDs tend to make people get fat (lolarious but true), so he's always raging about adding more broccoli to his diet and omg eating healthy (and yet he's still getting 'omg you're getting chubby!' comments from other people, lol), yet when his mom said there was some fruit in the house, he went, 'eugh, fruit. I HATE fruit."

His sister bakes a cake and he's like, 'ew, it's probably poisonous!' And when his parents suggested he should probably get new socks to replace the holey ones he was wearing, he went 'I don't NEED new socks, these are FINE.' and frowned a lot.

And then, as soon as we got back to Leeds, he went 'wow, I really need new socks,' after which I promptly went *HEADDESK*.

In summary, PARENTS MAKE US ACT STUPID.

Speaking of, though, I finally got a present for the boy's B-Day on Friday! Yay! I got him a Bob Dylan Encyclopedia, which I hope he doesn't have already, as he totally fanboys Dylan and adores his many, many books about the man.

The boy told me the cutest anecdote ever today. :3

I was complaining about how Doctor Who this week hadn't been as great, so he revealed himself to have been, at one time of his life, a bit of a fan*. Apparently, when he was seven or eight, one night his parents had gone out they'd watched some old episode on telly, which featured this furry creature. So, after, he went and took his mum's fake fur coat, and ran around pretending to be said monster, lol, until the babysitter sent him to bed, looking very much not impressed.

AWWW. That's so adorable, oh man, I can just imagine him all tiny and cute and roaring or something under the coat, haha. ♥

*He did at first say 'oh, but Doctor Who's rubbish', at which I huffed a lot and said, 'it's not!

This is sort of slow as of lately, huh? There's not really that much to tell, mostly I've been reading and lazing around, with occassionally seeing high school friends (haven't seen my uni friends at all since I got back, really should get on with that...). Most of all, though, I've been talking to the boy over skype. SIGH. Miss him a lot and am incredibly sexually frustrated, woe is me. BAH. STUPID ATLANTIC OCEAN. It's not enough, but it's better than nothing, I guess.

On a nice subject, I'm catching up with Bones! IT IS AWESOME AND SHINY AND BOOTH AND BRENNAN LOOOOVE EACH OTHER SO MUCH. YAY. Up to The Cinderella in the Cardboard now, should finish the season, what, tomorrow? Think so.

For all that Shyamalan's Avatar movie's casting was made of fail, I have to admit the movie looks quite impresive. UMMM.

Anyway. Settling back into life in Mexico, it feels a bit weird if I have to be honest, and at the same time it doesn't 'cause it's so familiar? It's WEIRD, there. After a couple of frights with both my university in here and Leeds Uni (all mistakes on their part, wtf), I hope I don't have to do any paperwork anymore until I start applying for my masters in there (have to get in, have to get in). Got my schedule for next semester ready and it doesn't suck nearly as much, so yay for that.

Talked to the boy on skype for three hours today, we played chess, haha. It's not the same, I miss being able to touch him so much, but it's something, and it keeps me from going completely depressed.

My epic summer tv watch has started, as I want to catch up on all I missed during the semester (while I was too besotted to mind about watching snooker (I mean snooker, for fuck's sake, I deserve a fucking medal for patience) instead of my usual series (though it was a joy to get to disctract him from said snooker or golf or whatever else boring sport of the day, I must admit). As I watched this horrible new reality today, NYC Prep and it was just foul, Gossip Girl got to be on top of my to-watch list, so I could get the horrible taste out of my mouth. Up to ep. 20 today, shall watch the rest of the season in the next couple days. Thoughts so far? OH BLAIR. OH CHUCK.

The boy reveiled himself to be truly English the other day by knowing Matt Smith's the new Doctor, even if he doesn't ever watch any kind of sci-fi, lol. Speaking of, the other day I bought one of the volumes of S3, because I reckon I can't just come to England and just not buy some Who merchandise (though I did buy a mini TARDIS and Dalek in Cardiff...), and also, because it was on sale. Yay me! I now own have Human Nature/Family of Blood and Blink, yay! Now, if only it had Sound of the Drums as well, it'd be all of my favorite S3 episodes together!

I'm starting to pack already, which makes for an awfully depressing business, really. It doesn't help that my brother comments on my angsty, heartbroken facebook status (I know, I know, it's so adolescent of me) with '5 days and I'll see you!! :DDD' WAY TO MISS THE POINT. While I do want to see my family, and I do miss them quite a bit, seeing them means leaving, which is the last thing I want to do right now. SIGH. Anyway, my mom and brother are coming up here on Saturday, and then we leave together on Monday towards Amsterdam. My dad's joining us a week later, I think.

In all honesty, I sort of just want to go home if I have to leave, 'cause I know I just won't be in the right mood for traveling, and I'll miss out on everything by pining away. ACK. I JUST WANT TO GO AND HAVE TACOS AS COMFORT FOOD, OKAY.

He likes to nibble on my fingers. It was his birthday on thursday, I drew him a Bob Dylan card, and got him a book on trees. So far he's memorized about ten weird facts about trees. He can now ask for jell-o in Spanish. I want to stay, and spend the rest of his birthdays with him.

Is that love? I think it is.

( Aaaand we have a new companion! AND DOCTOR WHO FANDOM WILL BE EXPLODING IN THREE, TWO, ONE...  )

GUYS. I'm so out of touch with all things Who! I haven't even seen the CHRISTMAS special! When's the next special, anyway?

The boy went to school today with a love bite, which he totally forgot about until he was talking to his supervisor, haha. I like the way it looks on him, if I must be honest. :3

We're going to Whitby tomorrow! The boy has been going on and on about swimming for a week, so I got a swismsuit today, just in case. It's a bit... loud, as it is striped and has a big red bow on the front. Very pinup via cheap ass Primark, lol. I'm quite excited about the daytrip, to be honest, it looks like such a pretty place, and hopefully the water won't be THAT freezing. :D

I saw Star Trek the other day, and it was indeed shiny and made of awesome and fun, but it wasn't nearly as brain-eating as I expecting it to be. You see, I thought it'd be this year's Iron Man, and while it was lovely, and I might read some fic about it, I don't feel compulsed to go and read/watch/know everything ever done about Trek, unlike how I wanted to know eeeeeverything about Tony Fucking Stark. SIGH. TONY. BUT YES! It was cool and had shiny effects although the plot was a bit questionable. And all of the main characters were adorable. I see the appeal of Kirk/Spock, yes, but I quite liked Spock/Uhura, really, so, OT3! 'cause it'd be interesting. And hot.

We had a flat party on sunday! It was AWESOME and we scared the shit out of Robin beforehand when we burst into his room and screamed at him and threw silly string at him while he was asleep, lol. And then we drank A LOT and played drinking games - mixing mint vodka and wine, too, 'cause we're so classy, haha, and then we played DRUNKEN CHARADES, lol, which was awesome. And probably not as funny as it seemed at the moment. One of my flatmates went a bit TOO over the top, though, and got balloons and firecrackers and party plates (CAR themed, wtf). That was a bitch to clean the next day while we were all nursing our hangovers, that's for sure. Then again, we moped the floor (!!) and now the kitchen is the cleanest it's EVER been. And then I spent most of Monday cuddling in bed with the boy as I hadn't seen in him in days. ♥

I went to a 'wine and cheese' party today, and had to say goodbye to some friends that are already about to go home. It was quite sad, as I've no idea if I'll ever see them again, and it's also a bit sad knowing that we'll never be all together again. Aw. Coming to England was still probably one of the best decisions I've ever made, though.

I've won at chess three times in a row now. The boy is most definitely not amused, tehee. (especially as he's the sorest loser I've ever known, lol).

I haven't written anything since January, and I'm starting to get the itch - problem is, I've no idea what. Don't think I'm in the right mindset for fic, though, but you guys got any prompts for me? as always, words, pictures, random stuff? that'd be lovely.

I feel quite removed of fandom as a whole, actually - I've missed more than half of SPN's season, I'm lukewarm towards Castiel and Dean/Castiel leaves me completely cold, a thorougly unpopular opinion these days - and I like new!Ruby, to booth, lol (AND LOOK, MA, I CAN ADMIT IT AND NOT HAVE TO DO IT VIA FANDOM SECRETS!). I still adore Merlin, but I haven't read fic in ages. I really haven't had the time to watch BSG in more than a month, and I don't want to read fic until I'm done with the series (though if anyone has pre S3 Kara/Lee recs, you're more than welcome to share them!).

Had my last uni lecture of the semester on friday. Studying in England as an experience has been marvelous, but the actual schooling leaves a lot to be desired - an hour of school a day? what is this? I don't know if it's just my course, but I'm used to having much, much more homework. Anyway, it's been like a very, very long vacation, and I'm definitely not complaining about that, lol, especially as I start working on my thesis next semester. :)
