I'm sure it's been difficult for you all.<br /><br />I've been smoke free for 37 days. On day 34, I didn't think about smoking at all. Today it's all I can think about. I've been knitting through the pain and I have a new friend to introduce to you all: Little Ted!<br /><br /><a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/suki_blue/pic/0037c320/"><img src="http://pics.livejournal.com/suki_blue/pic/0037c320/s320x240" width="320" height="239" border="0" /></a><br /><br />He was tricky becuase I had to use 3mm needles and keep the tension deliberately tight. Sewing his parts together (and doesn't that sound remarkably dodgy?) was nail-biting stuff because the yarn had to be pulled so tight to keep him together when his arms and legs move.<br /><br />Today I've been planning my essay on the narrative voices and dialogue used by Jane Austen in <i>Pride and Prejudice</i>. It's not as easy as it probably sounds but, god-damn, motherfucker, I'm determined. <br /><br />In fandomy news, I've been re-watching QAF (US) and if I wasn't smitten before I'm certainly all of a flutter now. I feel a picspam coming on good and proper. <br /><br />The first part of <i>Grief Counseling</i> is now just days away from being posted. I'm excited about it and also looking forward to getting it all done and dusted so I can move on to the next project. I have started my Xangel in Spaaaaaaaaaace and poor Angel is already in a predicament and will unfortunately have to stay that way until I can get GC off my mind.<br /><br />Now back to my essay and then I shall catch up with my 183 emails ~boggles~ http://suki-blue.insanejournal.com/235312.html no more fags! knitting qaf (us) open university public http://suki-blue.insanejournal.com/235159.html Tue, 10 Feb 2009 16:54:47 GMT sukibluekitty@googlemail.com http://suki-blue.insanejournal.com/235159.html I've been smoke free for 31 days and I'm absolutely gagging for a cigarette. Before I gave up completely, I'd cut down to only a few fags very late at night, but now I'm craving ALL DAY. This is not a good sign.<br /><br />I started my Open University course this weekend and we've kicked off with a study of the Realist Novel. Pride and Prejudice. Great Expectations. Fathers and Sons. And Frankenstein as an example of the Anti-realist novel. I'm dreading having to critique and discuss Fathers and Sons because my honest opinion is that it's a pile of shit. I don't think I'll get a very good mark if I put that in an essay :OD<br /><br />On the bright side, here is my latest creation. Everyone, meet ...<br /><br />Piccalo!<br /><br /> <br /> <table> <tr> <td><a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/suki_blue/pic/0037aggg/"><img src="http://pics.livejournal.com/suki_blue/pic/0037aggg/s320x240" alt="" height="239" width="320" border="0" /></a></td> <td><strong></strong><br /> </td> </tr> </table> <br /> <br /><br />He's outgoing, fun, definitely a showbiz kinda guy (I'm thinking the stage), and when I give him to <span class='ljuser' lj:user='big_balls' style='white-space: nowrap;'><a href='http://www.insanejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=big_balls'><img src='http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif' alt='[info]' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: bottom; border: 0;' /></a><a href='http://www.insanejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=big_balls'><b>big_balls</b></a></span> she will probably rename him Colin. http://suki-blue.insanejournal.com/235159.html knitting so very gay no more fags public
