When the New Year looks as dark as the year you've just left. January 1st is about new beginnings. New starts. Second chances. Being resolute to face the future. And in myself I'm fairly confident that 2009 might just hold that tiny ray of light that will prove to be the spark that I need to light the fire under the steam engine of my life. I ( Read more... )

I slept last night (I lay there at 2am and pretended I was melting into the bed. It's a trick that was suggested to relax my muscles from ballet by my ballet teacher, and it sometimes works. And this time it worked!) so I'm feeling much more balanced and joyous today (although I still felt unbelievably knackered at around three this afternoon, but ( Read more... )

Hee, that sounds like I'm accepting an award, I'm not I'm just very grateful to a few people, so I wanted to say so.

Thank you to long_roadtoruin for choosing me to go on holiday with her, I did have a gorgeous time (that was a word I used lots...) and lots of fun, including playing cards, and going sailing, swimming in the pool, and sunning myself, and she ( Read more... )

Oh my! I don't normally update so much in such a short space of time, but Miss googlebrat requires an entry all to herself, because she's amazing and nice and bought me two months of paid account time! I've never had paid account time before, so I'll probably waste it because I don't know what I can do with it! I have already added a couple of icons and ( Read more... )

Happy New Year boys & girls of my flist.

I shall be seeing it in on the sofa with a glass of Baileys. (thus breaking my 'I don't drink' rule but not enough to worry me, since it's only one glass!)

I've spent the day altering my turquoise dress (the one I wore to fifithepink's 18th) so that it actually fits me, and I don't need extra supportive underwear ( Read more... )

Or... not. From the first day that the light blew, Daddy has said that it might be possible to cut the cord above the bit which is melted, and that might solve the problem. This afternoon, since we had nothing better to do, and we really couldn't make it any worse (what exactly is worse in this situation than no light?), I got up on the piano stool ( Read more... )

I got Candy Canes! They're very pretty, green & red striped. Now I just have to decide if I'm going to give them away, or be a Candy Cane hog - my inner five year old is saying 'keep them' but my outer slightly more sensible 22 yr old is saying give them away. Although that will mean I have to go back and buy more & I don't have any plans to go ( Read more... )

Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends!

paranoid_blonde (sorry, you're longer than 100 characters!)

Thanks for the absolutely fun time tonight. I had a wonderful time. It was so nice to meet up with you, and if we dare leave it that long between meet ups next time I may go completely insane, and you wouldn't want to be responsible for that! Anyway, I wanted to say thank you for listening and thank you ( Read more... )

Ok, the title sounds somewhat depressing, but I actually thought it a funny quotation. It's from Maskerade by Terry Pratchett ( Read more... )
