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?

The Mary Poppins Bag...

When I was in High School, my backpack always seemed to contain more stuff than there was physically room for, with a bit of space left over for something extra someone needed me to carry. So we called it the Mary Poppins bag, and it was silly good fun.

Of course, these days I realise that the problem with bags that are bigger on the inside is that you can never find that Freddo Frog you know is hidden on the bottom somewhere unless you unpack the entire thing.

Great first date idea. Or should I say, "Fantastic"?...

Gratuitous Scarf Post...

So, I've been busy. We got to that horrible point in the semester where I end up with two assignments and a test to mark within two weeks, and it's always nasty. So between the maths department and the conferences I'm organising I've not done much since I last posted.

That said, I did get to do a little last Saturday.

As you can see, the red was where I was up to the last time I took photos, and I hadn't done very much since then. I got to knit a lot that day, as once we got Heidi moved in and she started unpacking there wasn't much else for a large group of us to do (no one wanted to unpack her stuff into the wrong places).

A better photo will follow in the next day or so as I finish catching up and my brain re-engages enough that I can make with the image-editing-fu.

My subconscious works in mysterious ways...

I figured it out.

I'm not knitting it because I wanted to knit the most geeky thing imaginable (and short of knitting myself katamari ears the scarf was the most geeky thing ever).

I'm not knitting it because I need something to get me through the conference planning.

And I'm not knitting it because my earliest memories of childhood tv are of the Muppets and Doctor Who (even though they are, but not crossed over, because that would be weird and I wonder if they ever did that? The Muppet Wiki says "no", but then I found this BBC poll, which is good enough really and can I write Doctor Honeydew meets Doctor Who fanfiction please?)

Nope, I'm doing it because when you get right down to it, a Fourth Doctor scarf is absolutely necessary to complete this outfit:

and I'm going to wear one of those floppy hats if it kills me.

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!

I win!...

So, Heidi got her cat (bear) beanie today. Expect photos at some point in the future when I see her and take some.

And I finished my other glove today, which is awesome.

I'm all out of ongoing craft projects now. I guess it's time to get on with the marking.
