Amazon Deliveries <3 [out of hiatus]

Journal Entry: Tue Jun 29, 2010, 5:17 AM



I get almost ridiculously giddy when Amazon deliveries arrive. There are few things that make me happier, and I have no idea why. Some women like to buy shoes, or clothes, or jewellery. I like to buy books on Amazon and flick through them gleefully when they arrive.

I've just received three for my next semester; Paradise Lost, Sir Gawain (with Sir Orfeo, one of my favourite medieval narrative poems, as well as Pearl, all of which are translated by J.R.R. Tolkien <3) as well as a book on reading and writing Middle English, lol, that's going to take me a while to get used to. I actually feel like I can start being PRODUCTIVE again.

I'm one of those people who thrives when they're given a schedule, or knows they have work to do. This is why I've hardly been updating, holidays make me very lazy to do anything at all. The fact I bought Pokemon Heart Gold and feel ten years old again certainly doesn't help :p .

Hope you're all enjoying your summers, unless you're in a country that has, uh. Winter right now, lol. SORRY.

:heart:

EDIT: Since *Larissa-Bright reminded me; I am out of hiatus! I have also taken the trades off my to-do list, mainly because they've been there for months with nothing doing. If you still want to take part in the trade, let me know. If not, don't worry about it! I'll probably be opening them up again at some point for more super fun times. <3

Next Kiriban at 20,000!

I'll only be accepting kiriban requests from people who are watching me and have at least made an effort to show they care about me and work, with a fave or two or even just a comment. No total strangers this time around! Sorry, but I don't think it's fair for the people who genuinely like my artwork :heart:

Hee, thank you! Aah, yes, it looks complicated (and I'm terrible at languages) so I hope I can learn it properly XD

Aaah, man, I love summer. But that's mainly because winters are so horrible in England :XD:

I get an Amazon package tomorrow, too :la: I always feel totally excited when they arrive :eager: sadly I ordered nothing for me and only a PC game for my brother's birthday and a book for dad about WWII XDD

And good to have you back :glomp:
You're out of hiatus and I feel I kind of stumble into one ^^;

Aaah, excitement! Oh no D: Well, clearly you should order something else for yourself, then XD

It's nice to be fully active again! :cuddle: But oh no D: We all need a break sometimes, though, and after all the hard work you've been doing I'm not surprised you need to switch off.

I got the parcel and I was still excited XD I have to safe my money but there will be times for me to order books again :la: and besides that I bought Psych season 1 in a store yesterday... so I can't complain XD

I still feel bad for lacking activity D: but I feel depressed and I don't want to annoy my friends with my not so good mood... so I have to hold it back and annoy my family instead XD

XD Excellent. And that's good, you deserve to treat yourself! :heart:

Don't feel bad at all, honey. And if you ever want to talk I am more than happy to listen, honestly. You don't have to worry about things like that. Sometimes it's good to just get things off your chest. :heart:
