I shall have to find a new year meme and get all philosphical at some point. For now, suffice it to say that 2008 was a pretty crap year and 2009 can really only be better. I'm trying to plan something abroad like volunteering and retraining for several months, with a possible view to working overseas indefinitely. But I'm finding it difficult to ( Read more... )

I'm slightly squiffy and my sister and I are not really in the mood to watch Pulp Fiction with our parents. I just had to suffer the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special!  I'm typing this as she makes tea ( Read more... )

Merry Christmas, F-list!

Finally finished work today! Not back in until 2 Jan. Just got back from pre-Christmas drinkies, but I hate it when I have to drive.

Made some jewellery before Christmas, a set of earrings and bracelet to wear out on Christmas Eve, and a bracelet each for my mum and my sister, as Christmas presents.

Wishing everyone reading this a belated merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous 2006!

Feels like I haven't updated for aaaaaages, I've been so busy with work, choir, Christmas socialising, etc. Needless to say, my RPing has suffered the most, so that needs some thinking about. I've just completed my first Gravi drabble but I need to continue ( Read more... )

I've just received a bouquet of roses from Interflora!

And I was hoping it was my TFT monitor...!

Edit: Aha, my TFT monitor has arrived! Yay! *is excited*
