Ok, so I got no work done tonight, three pieces of work are due in tomorrow morning. I feel ridiculously thirsty, even though I've drunk around 1 and a half bottles of water in the last half an hour. Scheduled homework time is about to end, meaning that all the loud music is going to turn on.

I doubt I'll be able to get to sleep today.

It ain't supposed to be quiet at night, in a bording school?

It is. But we're not told that we have to be basically silent until half ten, and quite a few people in this house love to push the limits as far as possible.

Tried complaining to the teachers or something? I dunno who runs it... :\

I would complain about it... but... nobody's technically doing anything wrong. I mean, it is true that I need more sleep than the average person, but everybody else needs less than the average sleep. I would tell the other students in the house, but they'll probably forget about what I say in favour of listening to some new song, watching a popular TV series or chatting fairly loudly.

It isn't fair, but this is the world when 20% of a country decides who runs it.

The yearly local fall market is today.
And tomorrow.
Should perhaps head out to go hunt for my yearly plushie.
Either today or tomorrow.


Not that that's got anything to do with anything.

There's a fair thingy here in the next couple of days. I think I'll avoid shopping in my home village for a while.

I kinda like the thing, sort of.
There are always plenty of people there selling plushies of "rare" plushie species, like foxes, lynx, wolves and other local wildlife.
I really like that as normally I'd have to travel to a zoo gift shop to have a more or less guaranteed chance to find stuff like that.
And the closest one is like 2 hours away.


I hate the fact that it's a huge noisy crowd tho, but just sneaking in, waddling around for a bit and then sneaking out is usually ok before I feel like I'm about to splode from too much everything.

It might be a good chance to find a stuffed snow leopard...
Might. Very might. Stuffed snow leopards are very hard to find in general.

One thing that keeps baffling me is how rare cheetah plushies are.
Considering that they've got spots/markings that are way simpler than tigers (which is one of the most common plushie-big cats) or leopards (regular ones appear to be fairly common) you'd imagine there'd be more of them.
But nope. I don't think I've ever seen one now that I really think about it.


Snow leopards (and other big cats that aren't lions, tigers or regular leopards for that matter) are severely underrated  when it comes to all kinds of toys and trinkets.
Like, I'm still really amazed by the fact that I own a pair of lazy-day comfy pants with a snow leopard pattern.


Perhaps they just don't want to bother making plushies that are 50% tail?
A really silly reason to -not- make a plushie if you ask me.

Though snow leopards do have long tails, I don't think a stuffed animal that's 50% tail is really necessary... 49% is more than enough.

I once saw saw some huskie pluchies at a fair, and really was thinking of getting one, but I kinda already like dogs soo much it's a bit of a meme to both friends and family, soo I decided it'd maybe be better to wait a few years with that... >_<

The more I  think about it, the more I feel there's a missed opportunity here.


Imagine, a combined snow leopard plushie and scarf!
Just pop the critter onto your shoulder and wrap the tail around your neck!




I've got three husky plushies myself, tho I like to pretend the one that's not gray/black is actually an Akita. Because it's kinda sand-coloured.
Akitas are awesome. Especially the Japanese ones.

If that really is the case, I'm gonna scream like a fangirl. (I probably won't, but it would be crazy.)
