...eep

So, I'm waiting for my mother to come take us all to dinner, and hey, thevilliankelly posted an interesting excuse for a pic spam meme a while ago so why not?

Indeed.

So, the deal with this meme is that you name and put up pictures of 10 celebrities that you find attractive, and then tag five other people to do it.

Way to not be doing anything constructive.

Anyway! Yesterday I participated in my first ever trollprincess costume party. Now, that was a good time - I went as Princess Leia (hence the current default icon), managed have a argument with pre-Vader Anakin, get weepy over Padmé, commiserate with Rose Tyler over space-travelling men and flirt with Doctor Crane. Good fun all around! The party can be found here

And today, after waking up too late to make my hairdressers' appointment, I locked myself in the boiler room with tea and peas and finished Lost. Seriously. It blew me away. The twists at the end did seem suddenly to go rather fast, contrasting with the more languid pace at the beginning, but now that I've had time to think about it, it does make sense - in fact, the book had been building to that pace through-out.

It's one of the books that makes me wish I were smarter, or more well-read; I can *see* the puzzles and hints, but I can't solve all of them. The use of them was good though and the entire story, the book-within-the-book and the twist at the end concerning it - it was a really compelling story. The plot, loosely, is that Winifred Rudge is going to stay with her step-cousin in London for a few days to get inspired for her next book, before she travels to Romania. She stays at the Rudge family house - built by an ancestor of hers, said to be the model for Dickens' Scrooge character. The novel quickly becomes something of a ghost story, but it's in no way bland - that cast of characters is far too interesting, the details are too many and the prose is wonderful. I seriously, seriously recommend it.

And now I just need to finish The Virgin's Lover. It's good, and Amy finally seems to be growing the fuck up. It's about time.

Speaking off, I am finally alone in my room! There are no guests who need the extra bed, no extra siblings - I'm alone. And to think, I'd just gotten so used to fleeing to the boiler room. It is quite nice though. I wonder if it'll be disconcerting to sleep alone now.

Finally: SOFIE'S HOME YAY! Now all I need is for Tess to get back, and my world can get back on it's axis *grins*
