also if my other library ever finishes being built (it's theoretically this autumn-ish - I think I heard November - but uhhhh sure Jan) it's going to suck for commuting
I don't want to have to leave the flat at 8am to be there for 10? who the fuck. They need to fix that bus service
#talkin' malarky#I say also like this is following on from anything I've said here before lmao#brought to you by me 'n' carolyn spending two hours trying to get back from one library to the other#they're not even that far like in a car it takes maybe 10/20 mins?#but yeah the buses are every half hour and also broke down today#fun fact I have been on six buses today#three of them were in the space of those two hours between libraries#(at least 40 mins of those two hours were just waiting. idk I'm not checking that fully)#it was. ridiculous.#but yeah my contract has been extended like no!!!#I need it to go back to interviews for a permanent position so I can ''forget'' to apply jsjdskj#I don't mind it but also I don't want it#Alannah was floating the idea of WH needing two supervisors so I could just be poached for there#so obviously I tried to start an interlibrary war between her and Joe who wants me back at DB#... no I have not finished the dnd notes yet but I've got 'em started#it's fine it's just populating a dungeon#and maybe deciding what happens next in terms of the multiple plots that they've got going on#masters of distraction that they are#... help it's cold I'm gonna go find a better jumper#and maybe a blanket#anyhow. back to maps!

ahhh thanks for the tag @acourtofbooksandmemes ! 💜 this has been in my notifs for a while but i've been super busy lately so haven't had the chance to respond. luckily i have some time before my flight takes off so let's see if we can answer 20 questions in 20 min (not likely but challenge accepted).
1) nicknames: two small beers amanda, geyser of knowledge, magpie, steve bartman (there are others but for the sake of time...)
2) zodiac sign: first day of leo babyyyy
3) height: 5'3"ish? (probably optimistic tbh)
4) hogwarts house: usually gryffindor but been feeling like a slytherin lately and i'm embracing it
5) last thing i googled: "slash" (i couldn't remember if he was called "slash" or "the slash" and it was bothering the hell out of me)
6) favourite musicians: ooo wow tough question- i'd say hozier, sleeping at last, avi kaplan, lindsey sterling, gabrielle aplin, carley rae jepsen, ariana grande, and tori kelly are amongst my favs.
7) song stuck in my head: to be alone by hozier
8) following: oh yikes i have neither an idea nor the wear with all to answer this atm- but definitely a loootttttt of blogs
9) followers: i have no idea for this one either but i love you all so very much 💞
10) do you get asks?: i have received exactly two asks in my lifetime. one was a legitimate question that made me very happy (can't remember what it was or who sent it but shout out to them!) and the other was spam 😂
11) amount of sleep: last night i got 3 hours (hence the lack of wearwithall) but usually around 6-7 hours
12) lucky number: 23 is my ultimate lucky number but 7 and 5 are also good numbers in my book
13) what i'm wearing: a blue-grey long sleeve blouse from target that makes me feel like a maiden in the renaissance times, black leggings (with pockets!), my fav slouchy knitted grey cardigan, adidas (the white ones w black stripes, can't remember what they're called), black raybans w rose-tinted lenses, and my patron saint of travellers necklace (peter? gabriel? as you can tell, i'm a devout member of the catholic faith lmao)
14) dream job: author. professional traveller is also acceptable.
15) dream trip: new zealand, japan, thailand (but anywhere will do)
16) instruments: i can play maybe 10 chords on the guitar very poorly. i also love singing but usually only do so in the shower or in my car at max volume.
17) languages: english (but sometimes not even that lmao) very impressed with anyone who can speak more than one language.
18) favourite songs: it varies a lot but the songs i always come back to are stay by zed & alessia cara, edibles by jojo, language by tori kelly, mad love by jojo, miss you by gabrielle aplin, arsonists lullaby by hozier, saturn by sleeping at last, hearing by sleeping at last, want you in my room by carley rae jepsen, and adagio for strings by samuel barber. also anything by ariana grande or hozier.
19) five random facts:
-i'm american but i've lived in london for the better part of a decade.
-i eat my pizza backwards.
-i prefer sunrises to sunsets but only after i've stayed up all night (i won't wake up early for anything lmao)
-i quit social media at the start of 2019 and so far, tumblr is the only platform i've used since. i don't miss it.
-i've been writing my book for 6 years. (jesus take the wheel)
did it! whew that was difficult. it's been more than 20 min but my plane hasn't taken off yet so i consider this mission a success.
