castle in the woods

7/10

500 pieces

Neuschwanstein Castle

This one took me weeks to finish; mostly because I just put off working on it for days at a time, but also mostly because IT'S ALMOST ALL FUCKING TREES! GAH! Almost all the pieces look the same so it's hard to tell where they go. Also I'm missing a piece near the bottom. I'm thinking my room might've eaten it.

accurate t-shirt is accurate

I feel as if this t-shirt summarizes the last year-and-a-bit of my life fairly well.

That time of year

I did a few days at the school recently... it's ski-pants season! Yay (boo!)!

Getting kids into their snow gear is quite the job, especially when I'm the only one there. Add that to the fact that most kids don't want to even bother with their ski-pants and things don't make my job any easier.

At least most of them do get outside at some point to play for a few minutes.

At least I don't have to be there for when they have to get dressed to get on the bus to go home. I've had to be there for that before and I remember it being a bit of a nightmare.

The threat of the bus leaving without them doesn't make them go any faster either, these kids have no fucks to give about that (unless they do miss the bus and then it's all tears).

If they all wore one piece snowsuits with the hats and mittens attached it would get them dressed quicker (and I wouldn't have to keep sending them back inside for their hats and mittens and what have you).

Very into the fandom here

So I was substituting at school today (for the first time in a while) and I was in the cafeteria when one of the kids showed up wearing a black and white striped sweater and jeans.

Really, as soon as I saw the sweater my mind went Hello, John Watson.

This kid also has sandy blond hair and blue eyes. All that coupled with the jumper, and his face really, gave me an impression of John Watson as a child (or some version of Hamish Watson-Holmes, I suppose).

Anyway, this kid was wandering around and I actually started looking to see if there were any tall gangly kids with curly black hair, just to complete the whole thing.

(There wasn't, much to my disappointment)

(... I suddenly get the feeling that I've been on tumblr far too long)

(i regret nothing)

now this is familiar

The weather's been odd lately. In the winter around here I'm more used to lots of snow and wind and cold... basically just miserable weather. Well, the weather has been miserable lately, but it's been mostly the rainy and wet and soggy kind of miserable (still cold though).

And then this week happened to change all that:
Now THIS is the kind of winter I'm used to.

Also the roads are complete shit and covered in snow. Isn't winter wonderful?
