Well, this is a startling new low. · 12:04am Dec 18th, 2013
Yep, just about Wednesday by the time I post this. Really, I can only apologise for how desperately late this post is, but it's largely to be expected. I do promise that I'll post normally again from this week onwards, but I've genuinely been struggling for tie over the last few days, despite the fact that I'm now on holiday until January. (Good, huh?)
Had another party on Saturday, that kinda spilled over through most of Sunday, which was nice. It was a weird concept, actually. A load of my friends all got together and made a really cheap (but delicious) Christmas dinner for everyone, complete with knitted jumpers and all that rubbish. It was really lovely, actually, and completely free of all the stresses and feuds of family Christmasses. We promised to do it again next year, but frankly I don't hold out much hope because University will have scattered us all the way across the country (and to other countries, in some cases). I feel pretty sad about that, but it's to be expected, really... I just don't want to let my friends go just yet.
Monday was a little more quiet, but for reasons I cannot recall I never quite had time to sit down and post anything particularly meaningful here. Probably some sort of writer's block, which I'm still desperately trying to overcome before Christmas, but I think I'll live for now.
Today was spent mostly by passing my driving test (Damn I'm pleased - I can't remember if I mentioned it before, but I failed the first time and I really didn't want to have to go through that yet again.) and picking my sister and her new boyfriend up from the train station about an hour's drive from where I live. They go to uni absolutely miles away, and just a couple hours ago was the first time I've met him. I've been told that, as a younger brother, it's basically my duty to be very suspicious of him and not to like him at all, but he seems to be a pretty decent guy at the moment. He's only down for a couple days, though, so I'll pass final judgement this weekend.
Still steadily forcing myself to write, you'll be pleased to hear, though I will need to study over the next few weeks, and it's always difficult to force me to get my thoughts down on paper, be it virtual or physical paper. I've always found the images in my mind to be so much more satisfying than the ones I create, though they feel so intangible and fleeting, and I'm prone to forget important details. I won't pretend it's a curse, or even uncommon, but it is terribly annoying. That permanent inability to perfectly replicate the beautiful things the human mind can create.
Bleh. I'm tired...
see you later this week, guys!
Sounds like life is moving smoothly for you thus far, busy or not. Good luck with writing, and grats on the test.

No prob! Letting go of friends can be difficult, but you'll pull through.

Yeah, you're right of course. I just don't like being in the position. I suppose that's why Ano Hana cut me so deep. That's like the central point of the series.
