Why is the title always the hard part?

Things that can put you off typing:
1. Seeing dried blood on your keyboard from when you sneezed with a bleeding nose last night.

And with that wonderful image in your heads, I'll get on with today's post. Actually, I'm gonna go get a damp cloth or something first. . .​​;......;;l;............;.;..;./;/.l.;.'/

Can you guess what keys the blood was on?


So, anyway, I'm in a good mood. It's relatively early in the day as I'm typing this and summer has finally arrived, so it's still light outside and nicely warm. I've spent all day either doing easy school work, playing video games or lying outside on nice, warm grass in the nice, warm sunshine.

For someone who spends an inordinate amount of time inside or on a computer, I am very fond of summer. Perhaps it's the weather, which makes going outdoors a possibly relaxing experience. Thanks to the fact that the term "Sixth Year" so far seems to be interchangeable with "Skive Year", this allows for conversations at school that don't take place in a small, crowded room where everyone's yelling.

Perhaps it's the inevitable holidays, with their promises of marathon gaming sessions, a total lack of school work and the chance to work on things that have been put off for the weeks and months prior. The beginning of the holidays also coincides nicely with the end of hay fever season, another bonus.

Perhaps it's all the events that happen in summer, such as the new E3, which brings with it several days and nights of trailers and tantalising tales of upcoming titles (or the old one did; the new one remains unproven), exam results are dropped through the door bringing with them disappointment or the promise of presents. Even going on holiday doesn't seem quite so bad when it looks like it's not just going to be your immediate family accompanying you.

Whatever the reason, I like summer. I also like winter and I'm not entirely averse to spring and autumn but summer, synonymous with holidays and fun, is quite possibly my favourite time of year. Maybe it seems best when I have memories of it behind me and hopes for it in front of me, but only time will tell.



I'm not in a good enough mood to do the NWT that I promised yesterday but I will have a woodle up for tomorrow, even if it's not the one I had planned. Because the guy I asked to draw the woodle after a long conversation about it claims to have no knowledge of it. He's more or less insane, so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

Also, while it is my 100th daily TWToday post tomorrow, thanks to an additional one I did a while back, this is technically my 100th post here. Then again, that's not counting various woodles and the odd NWT that I've put up.
