"It's.........ALIIIIIIIVE!!!!"
To answer the obvious question - yes, I did fall off the face of the Earth. But I'm back now! :D
I've been keeping up with my f-list, though not posting in my own journal... but dagnammit, I missed the interaction with all you lovely folks!
A few things have happened since I last posted, but being a lazy bugger, I'll just point-form it:
- Moved house, again. Am now living with fabulous flatmate "B", and her adorable cat in a little flat in the surprisingly-suburban part of the near-city. Hurrah! The living environment is much better - the flat is small and somewhat infested with german cockroaches (the little light-brown bastards), but the overall vibe is much better. Living with a laid-back girl is better than an uptight guy any day :)
- Got a new job. Am now the manager of a little independent video rental store about 10mins walk from home. We're open from noon until 9/10pm every day, and I work mon-fri - so I've got every weekend off (and after over 6yrs in retail, that's one hell of a novelty!). I'm there by myself the whole time, so I can watch whatever I like all day (needless to say, Labyrinth, Firefly, Serenity, Shaun of the Dead and Army of Darkness are regularly on my playlist *G*). The store is attached to a bottleshop and grocer, so I get cheap food and booze to boot :D It's awesome.
- A couple of my closest friends got married. Yaaaay! In a delightful slap in the face to tradition, they made me a groomsman (I've always been closer to the groom than the bride, and neither of them could imagine me in a dress anyway LOL). So the bridal party consisted of bride, groom, bridesmaids (bride's sister and best friend), groomsman (groom's best friend - a 6'5" guy - and me - a 5'6" girl), and flowergirl (the happy couple's utterly adorable 2y/o daughter). The ceremony was a lovely civil service in the park with about 30 of the couple's friends and relatives, and the celebrations continued in various forms for the whole weekend.
- I've totally jumped on the SPN bandwagon. OMG so much love.... but is it wrong that I kinda lust after the Metallicar more than either of the Winchester boys? I've only seen S1 and the first 4 eps of S2 - and I'm trying to stay spoiler-free.... but it's haaaaaaard! The urge to scamper off to the internets and spoil myself stupid is almost too hard to resist - but resist I shall! *is all willpower-y*
Much love and glomping to all the folks I haven't spoken to in ages, and I promise not to disappear again! :D
