Several more things

- Luke doesn’t listen. Ever. Even when you are alone with him, he still talk over you.
- Also Luke related, when I finished ranting to andy on Tues, I found I have a hard lump under my ear. Mum thinkis is a gland. Yeah, and anger gland. [I have a dr's appointment just in case]
- Furthur to conversation on Sat with Lex and Kat, I’m going to attempt to make the outfit designed by Devo [Andy's little bro] for DruidX, and possibly wear it to October’s MCN Expo. [Well, she's being drawn anime style...]
- I’ve finally managed the impossible: I’ve lacerated my leg with my own claws, by accident. It stings when I rub shower gell over [just had a shower, hence why I found it]
- Am I the only one who always reads ‘Cilit’ as ‘Clit’, and thus think ‘Clit Bang’ is amusing?
- Does anyone have any suggestions for a char to CosPlay if I don’t decide to go as me [DruidX]? Any suggestions on costuming in general?
- Can someone add an extra hour to the day?

absense of real update

I could offer y’all a long boring list of why I haven’t updated in a while, but I won’t, since it’ll be long, and, well, boring.

There is a saying: Illegitimi non carborundum. It means ‘Don’t let the barstards grind you down’. It seems, however, I have succumbed.

I have lost my get-up-and-go, my will to achive, my desire. My life seems to be regulated by the clock.

I don’t want to seem whiny [if I am, that's by-the-by], I’m simply trying to explain.

So, if you don’t see me around again for sometime assume I’m still being ground into a fine pink powder.

ps, wouldn’t Jonhy Depp look fantastic as human-form grebo?

Happenings

Last weekend was fun. This week has been fun [in the good way and the sarcastic way].
I bought: dumbells [£15]; a tee-shirt for kat that I’m going to write something on [£6]; a really nice diamond and onxy cross, that I’m considering trying to write a short story about [£14]; a CD for Andy [£8]; and two books, The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fford and Iron Council by China Mieville [£4 - Andy had a £10 gift voucher]. Then in the evening we met up with Kat n Lex and had a fine all time with drink and food and talk.

This week I’ve accepted a perminent job offer from Zelwegier, and had my time wasted by that numbnut Luke [more about that later] and today I stood out in the rain for a half hour nearly at the end of the day while we had a fire thing at work.

Okay, lets get back to that luke thing shall we?
We arrived at andy’s at 1900ish. We started playing at 2030. We played until 2100, when luke decided he didn’t like the World of Darkness rules. Okay, fair enough, but he could have cancled the session, could have told us at the begging of the session so we could have watched a movie instead or even let us play to a conclusion. Asshole. I suspect that he just got board of GMing and hadn’t planned anything. So then we spend untill 2200 trying to chose a new game to play. By non consenting consent [ie no one wanted to make a desion] I am going to GM kat’s new game Aern: Awakenings. What really pisses me off is that Greg suggested Star Wars, then Luke kinda latched on and to everything else we suggested [Call of Cuthulu, Fung Shui, Farscape, Stargate SG1, Changling, Monopoly, DnD, Aern, Toons, Paranoia, the one where everyone's a god] was met with ‘Oh, I heard that’s crap’ or ‘Oh that’s crap I don’t wanna play that one’, and all through he was generating a jedi char. I just got fed up with his baby attitude and said: Right, that’s it. I’m not listening to you any more.
What it boiled down to was Greg saying he had an adventure if we all really wanted to play Star Wars, but if we wanted to play Aern, he was behind me. So we flipped a coin and I won. Though he never did show the coin to me, so I wonder if he rigged it… And when Luke said he didn’t want to play I gave him a flat out ultimatum: If he doesn’t want to play then fine, but if he does and he acts up, he can probably get ready to die from random rocks falling on his head, but I’m not going to put up with his bullshit.
That decided I dragged Andy upstairs bcause everyone else was talking about WoW [Blarg] and I ranted for a while while he found the disk for the 4400. What also gets me is people think I’m being harsh about my telling him I wasn’t listing any more and my ultimatum. I think I was fully justified. He was being an whiny little brat who wanted was acting up to try and get his own way. Well that kinda crap doesn’t work with me.
So, I have like a week to plan my cammpaingn [in more detail at least] and read up/ print out the rules. My first campaign as a GM. Eeek :)

I apologise

I’m just glad most you that I know arn’t around to see this, and I have the good sense not to write about it much. Andy, I’m still sorry. I don’t think I can say it enough.

Nabbed from the Draak

[Okay, so we'll substitue 'friends list' for 'my rss feeds', and 'friended' for 'the random freaks who read this' and 'journal' for 'online diary type thingy']

Why not take this opportunity to tell me a little something about yourself. Any old thing at all. Just so the next time I see your name on my flist I can say: “Ah, there’s so and so…she/he wears mismatched socks.” I’d love it if every single person who friended me would do this. Yes, even you people who I know really well. Then post this in your own journal.

Saw this on Meta’s Blog and thought I’d do it. You should too.

Charlie’s and Barry’s partys

[Okay so I'm backdating things a bit, but hey]

Charlie’s party was really good fun. I got to meet her new man who is so incredibly sweet and looks so much like Colin Farrell, and I told Luke and Charlie about Andy and I’s impending marriage. Well correction, I told Luke, and I was intending to tell Charlie separately but she over heard. Needless to say there were many hugs and cries of joy :) I swum quite a bit with Luke and Ian [Andy's bro], and Luke was trying to plan my wedding already. I’m not sure if this is a good sign, but at least everyone is being supportive *shrugs* :) Around 1830ish I got changed cuz I had been waiting for Kat and Trevor to come so I could swim with them, but I was getting cold, so I just got dressed, and helped the boys set the BBQ up. Typically, Kat turned up 10 mins after I get dressed, so I paddled [and got my jeans wet] while they cavorted. Some time while I was paddling two guys Charlie knew from when she worked at the George pub turned up with a box full of ice and beer. Things got very festive after that; we gave them burgers and they gave up beer. I was halfway through my beer when it turned 2000, so I had to go. It was quite amusing: I had my arms full of stuff, and I stood there and said ‘Crap I want to hug people.’ *pause* ‘People, hug me!’ And people did :D As I was running to the car I said goodbye to Gavin and he shook my hand and kisses me goodbye [on the cheek :P ] and told me to take care. I really think Charlie is on to a good thing here :D

Not much to say about Barry’s party except that it was the best fun. I danced all night, and I mean all night. I was the first one on the dance floor and the last one off. The food was pretty good, though I was very ill that night cuz I’d eaten so much stuff I shouldn’t and I learn some moves from Brian’s Brother’s wife. She is one of the best dancers I know, and it was so fantastic to dance with her.

So yeah, August the 7th was a very good day :D
