I'm currently panic-stricken. See, it's the Flower Show on Saturday, and I was just not wanting to travel, for the usual reasons plus feeling unwell and having PMT. Anyway, I forced myself to book a ticket last night for tomorrow but today I have felt even more unwell. I phoned my mum to say I didn't think I'd be able to make it but it transpires that my brother and his demonchild are currently visiting, so they are going to collect me tomorrow morning.
ARRRGGGHHH! The flat is far too cluttered and messy. I've been so panicky about the mess that instead of packing I've been finishing one of my monsters, with a brief foray into Saints Row 2 (Dave says I can't take the PS3 with me because Batman Arkham Asylum is out on Friday). Worried about a problem? Ignore it completely until you have practically no time in which to solve it.
I'm not worried about them being judgemental & being mean about the mess, more about them feeling sorry for me cos I'm not able to keep my home the way I'd like it. And I still have to pack my clothes, make two items of jewellery and finish two baby jackets, though the last I can do while travelling and on Friday.
So - I'm going to clean the bathroom, tidy round the living room and nuke the kitchen. Bomb the site from orbit, wot?
Mother will want to see my stash. She has heard many tales of my wool, pattern and book collection, and she will want to inspect. She ain't going to get a good look because it is in Vast Disarray but I can imagine she is going to be stunned and unable to parry.
Anyway, time to stop procrastinating and get cracking.
Except I must mention how awesome the game Saints Row 2 is. Not only do you get to steal cars, kill people and shoot down helicopters with RPGs, but you get to run around nekked streaking, and you get to flash people. There is also a vast amount of shopping to be done, because you earn Style Points by buying new clothes and cars and shit, and Style Ranks give you bonuses in the amount of Respect and Money you earn. Watching Dave play has led me to the conclusion that he should have had Sindy dolls when he was a nipper because he's always buying new clothes for his character and changing her outfit. It also makes me glad he's a bloke because a lot of the outfits he picks are minging. I gave meself hysterics the other day by dressing my character in black leather chaps, black leather bra and a g-string, then having her ride round on a bike. The hilarity comes in when you realise that you view the character from behind and the movement of her buttocks as she turns corners etc is quite realistic. I had to change her outfit after I gave myself stomach cramp from laughing so much.
