the world is awesome!

Via Fuck Yeah, Puns

Damn you Dreamwidth, for only telling me I had a paid account in an email telling me I had TWO WEEKS OF PAID TIME LEFT *cries*

Whoever gave it to me, thank you very much, and I'm so sorry I didn't notice until it was almost too late!

Quick, quick! What should I do with my paid account that I only just discovered?

(ps the distressed bat is SO AWESOME)

Well, I really want to get into 3W4DW. I think it's incredibly awesome to see everyone celebrating and having fun. I'm currently working on my own contribution, which will come later and in the form of a 'the world is awesome' picspam, but for now we have meme time!

Having been invited to join by my lovely girlfriend miss_haitch , hello Dreamwidth! It's a lovely sunny day in East England and I hope everyone is well.

To set the mood:
( Look! It's the apogee and perigee of the moon!  )

The apogee is the small one, and the perigee is the big one. The Moon's orbit around the Earth isn't circular, it's elliptical, which means that sometimes it's closer and sometimes it's further away. (Most orbits are elliptical. This happens with the Earth and the Sun, though those of us in the Northern hemisphere might be brain-blasted to know that the perigee is in January!)

As an intro to new people via the friending meme ...

You can totally call me Fay. I'm in teacher training and will probably go on and on about science and education (see above!) and teenager-wrangling. I enjoy teaching but I'm still figuring out what to do with myself.

I'm in a relationship with aforementioned lovely girlfriend, and have been for the past six and a half years. I also like to be quietly smug when people can't get their heads round it - at 22, we're pretty young for such a long relationship.

I've identified as mostly straight with girlfriend-oriented leanings for most of my life and only recently have been finding women really really hot. (Mizuo Peck is my latest crush.) I'm totally enjoying embracing my newfound bisexuality. Outrage at a certain TV show is what finally awakened my feminism - pretty much the only good thing it did!

I'm also  really, really ashamed I forgot to put Farscape on my interests list, as it's one of the formative shows of my life. Forgive me, Farscape!

I can be very scatty and forget to post or to check internet things, especially when I'm stressed. But I never mean it as a slight against online friends (though that doesn't always mean much) and always welcome people to comment on whatever they want in my journal. It doesn't matter what: ramble away. I'm certainly going to!
