Cambridge going good. I've been in a state of perpetual happiness since the preview of the magazine came out - I saw it, squealed my head off, then sat there and stared at it dreamily, stroking its spine. For the rest of the day, every time someone mentioned the word magazine I made happy little choking noises and/or burst out into song. My friends were very amused.

They were less amused when they woke up today and I was still doing the same thing. But I mean - the REAL magazine is here. Complete with the missing 3 pages at the end! That is even more squee-worthy.

In short, I was in a state which my Psychology teacher may have diagnosed as mania (shut up, it's an actual term, bipolar people have it), characterised by symptoms such as rapid speech, racing thoughts, decreased need for sleep, euphoria, impulsiveness, grandiosity, and increased interest in goal-directed activities.

...yeah. That's amazingly accurate, actually. It's not v. much a bad thing, except that hyper-elation can lead to impaired judgment and taking unnecessary risks. But I've mostly just been singing and dancing around. I suppose doing that in the middle of English streets is a bit dangerous, as their drivers STEP ON THE GAS PEDAL when they see pedestrians in front of them, but aside from that all is well and good.

:D:D:D


Now for a steampunk quiz stolen from kyouten!

Your result for The Steampunk Archetype Test...

The Aetherist Bodger

The aether carries the information, the aether is information. You are one of the few who know the ins and outs of Aether Terminals. You can access information across the Aethersphere, tapping into the Aetherpipes of anyone you want and stealing the information stored in their datatanks. Some think of you as a myth, a legend created to scare people. You are no myth or legend, you are quite real and you are currently reading the Queen’s AetherMissives.

Your result for The Steampunk Style Test...

The Explorer

You are the Explorer, the embodiment of steampunk’s adventuring spirit. For you, clothing should be rugged and reliable, and just as functional as it is attractive. You probably prefer khaki or leather, and your accessories are as likely to include weapons as technological gizmos. You probably wear boots and gloves, and maybe a pith helmet. Most of what you wear is functional, and if you happen to wear goggles people had better believe that you use them. In addition to Victorian exploration gear, your outfit probably includes little knickknacks from your various travels. Above all, you are a charming blend of rugged Victorian daring and exotic curiosity.

So I am a technologically hip explorer. That sounds fun. Though for the second test I was v. v. close to getting Ragamuffin (my adventurous vs. playful stats were quite close) so I may be sort of both.

Let's go STEAMPUNKIN'!!!

edit: oh I forgot to mention, our CW class went punting together and I am officially the best puntress in the class. (puntress. like hunter and huntress except punter and puntress.) and I'm not kidding, the class agrees with me. HA. PUNT PWNT
