Hiya, welcome to Sailor Coruscant's Archive. I'm your host, Sailor Coruscant, though in real life I go by the (somewhat more prosaic) name 'Catherine Braiding'. I'm a PhD student looking at star formation, who occasionally dabbles in fandom. That means that as you wander around my site, you'll no doubt find fanfiction and fanart for my various projects, but there are also a few original stories (one of which was even published for money - well, gift vouchers), my photo albums (currently under construction) and of course my online diary (which I am going to update any day now)! So please look around, have fun, let me know your thoughts on yaoi and hopefully we'll become friends someday.

My day to day life is sometimes interesting, sometimes full of insight, and sometimes just plain weird. So, here for the very first time is the totally insane rantings and ravings of Catherine. I don't normally approve of sharing my thoughts with the internet at large, but what the heck. Let's give it a try, shall we?

1.3 days to go...

My long awaited vacation is here at last. Only I'm not ready yet, I haven't even thought about packing and my PhD isn't in a state to be abandoned for a month despite me staying til 9 tonight. *sighs*

But my cake decorating class is done and I'm rather pleased with the monstrosity of a result:

But right now I think it's time to sleep. Night all...

Yet another crafty post...

I told you guys I meant to make this a weekly thing, and I meant it. So here's this week's update (I messed up in a few places with the editing, forgive me?):

I'm a tiny little bit sick of it at the moment, but I'm getting another set of maths assignments to mark tomorrow, so I should knit as much as I can while I'm not working 16 hour days.

Current stitch count: 48.8%

So, who's sick of hearing about the conferences?

The answer is me! (For the record, we got enough people, and the deadline is technically tomorrow night, since I need my beauty sleep and we want to give everyone around the world a chance to register. And I didn't break the site at all today, go team me!)

So tonight I bring you a scaled and dated (well, more or less) photo of my latest craft project, because you all need to know just how stressed I am (I only knit this quickly when I'm stressed and need an escape).

I've made myself a promise that I'll have it finished and ready to wear on the last day of the second conference. It doesn't look like it'll be a problem, as I've still got a month and a half and it is now... *bashes head against carculator for a bit* ...31% done.

Wait, that's it? It's not even a third of the proper length, and it comes up to my chin already? I'm doomed!

Weekend projects...

I promised myself I'd finish a few of my outstanding craft projects this weekend, and since I am having a day at home all by myself, I got through a few bits and pieces, and hopefully I'll have one more to blog about before I go to bed.
But for now, here is the shrug I just knitted (as modelled by my awesome sister):

It's meant to be worn over a cocktail dress, but neither of us was wearing one, so we had to go without. This is just simple knitting on huge needles, a pattern I picked up at lincraft one time.

And then I finished the first of my wrist-warmers:

which is based upon (I only say that because I stuffed the whole thing in a number of places) Christina Slattery's pattern, which in turn was inspired by a costume worn by Rose on Doctor Who.

I totally need a knitting chibi, methinks.
