ceitfiannaLife is good today, I'm not working at the library this coming weekend so my weekend is actually my own. My internship is going well, I just keep slowly making progress and listening my way through my iTunes' library since I'm down in the basement with no one else. So if anyone happens to have any new artists that they're loving, please share. Its sort of nice to have my laptop and really be able to for a little while make that space my own.
The Queen reference is because I recently watched The Young Victoria and loved it, I watched it twice before sending it back. If she wasn't quite so like Jane in terms of eras and just general styling, I'd play her. She might get tossed into Mixed Muses if I can find some icons that I like.
While I just finished reading To Visit the Queen by Diane Duane and really enjoyed it. I need to be my hands on the book that comes before this one. What's interesting about Diane Duane is that she's an author that I've really wanted to like, but the first book of hers I read, So You Want to be a Wizard didn't fit for me.
Though a lot of that was mixed up in being a rather tough time for me. It was last Fall and Winter and I took it with me on a trip to the Gunks, where I was sick. Yet I was also having to help my family prep our land there for renting so lots of cleaning. A ton of little things conspired against me, the air bed I was sleeping in had a leak and I just felt awful. That meant that while I could see she was a good writer, I didn't want to go out and get the next one. While with this book, I just loved it and the way wizardry works in her world makes so much more sense. I look forward to reading more of her stuff now.
In a roundabout way, this reminds me of how balanced and sure of my way I feel now compared to last year. I went back into my older entries to lock a picture post and read some of my entries from around last Fall and Winter. Its striking how much I was hurting, job things weren't working well and I just wasn't feeling happy. Now I know this next year will be full and intense, but its also a step on the right path. That is a good feeling. I still haven't quite figured out how to do the dating thing yet, but I will.
