*sigh* This is what you get when you try to use Christmas presents before they're meant to be opened. I just tried to listen to Intensive Care (Robbie's new album) and I discovered that it won't play on my laptop. It's probably a problem with combatability rather than the possibility that the CD didn't copy right. *sigh* I want my Robbie dammit!
Anyway, will-power won out last night and I went straight to bed without watching the brilliant pressies that
Paranoid_blonde bought me (Yum Robbie live at Knebworth/The Albert Hall Yum) and for once I slept really well. Of course I slept really well and had very fun dreams, so I woke up all comfy and happy, so all is good.
And I'm seeing the wonderfully brilliant
paranoid_blonde again today for lunch. Yay!
I saw
keith_hood and
Paranoid_blonde at the pub last night, we ended up at O'neils for the night because Rach only had German ID and the git at the Swan wouldn't let her use it. Bastard, *growls at mean barman* I think we had fun, although there was a big screen at O'neils and therefore I was 'Distracted Girl' because Arsenal were losing to Doncaster Rovers, and then they weren't. And then they were. And then... they drew, and then (cos it was the Quarter finals) They had to have a penalty shoot out and (ARGH! how much do I hate them let me count the ways) then we won. Hollow victory, obviously, but... *shrug* We still won... Undeservedly. Hmm, that lead to a little it of a rowtypething with
keith_hood, cos we didn't deserve to win, and Arsenal are right jammy buggers if you get right down to it.
Anyway apart from me being DG we got to talk to Rachel about much stuff, and we had some fun discussions (eg. Because geography can't be in three places at once, it just doesn't work!) and we got to know about things like the almost-arresting story, and lots about the lovely
forgiveninasong who Rachel is obviously HOH about, because she kept sniffing her scarf (yes that is an indicator, don't look so confused - it had perfume on it). Rach kept saying things that gave me toothache, which I shouldn't have commented on because about halfway through the night I realised that my tooth actually was being a bugger and actually hurting which was... painful. It's ok today though (Thank all that isn't holy - I do not want to go a-dentisting) and I am really looking forward to lunch.
Before I went out last night I actually got to talk to the pretty (and yes, I mean that)
forgiveninasong in an MSN convo, which got kinda frantic because there were four people talking. I got some nice advice about Jack from everybody, which was basically common sense, but you know me, sometimes I need to be hit over the head with common sense for it to actually sink in. It was nice to talk to
forgiveninasong and I look forward to meeting her when I get to go and visit my dear Rach in Germany, which is going to be my Christmas present from my Dad (my flights and things).
Woah, look at all that writing... *gasp* And now it's half 10 and I need to go and get dressed because I am an idiot and want to watch Buffy before Rach picks me up for lunch (ah the advantages of driving friends!) and therefore I need to be ready-ish before 11. I should have half an hour before she turns up after Buffy, but I don't want to be running around like a loony. I do too much like a loony anyway!
Ok, off I go! Ta-ta!
