'I am a weapon of massive consumption, it's not my fault it's how I'm programmed to function'
A quick update and then I need to do 2009 stuff. It's never too late and I want to do quizzes and general post and all sorts. We've been in Crewe over the New Year. Always a pleasure. Actually, it was good as I spent most of the time at my family's house playing board games and generally not doing very much. We had lots of fun playing Cluedo and Rapidough, it has to be said. Looking over at the other team after hearing James say, 'I don't want to say what that is!' and seeing my Mum shaping what can only be described as a giant cock may stay with me for a good while yet. Jonathan's 'ladybird' had me in stitches though, like only he can. We played on the Wii a lot as well. Super Mario always rules. So yeah, we had a nice time. As we'd already had two Xmas dinners my parents made us a buffet for New Year's instead and we ended up watching TV programmes we'd never usually watch like Eastenders (it had a gay interest story, I'm allowed!), and Waterloo Road (I got far too into this). To be honest, the New Year itself was an anti-climax even for me who stays in every year. The BBC had really scaled down the celebrations by sticking Myleen Klass in the cold for a few minutes before the fireworks went off. Disappointing!
It felt like we were there for a good while really. I didn't get to see Jonathan all that much on account of his rubbish hours but bethany was around a lot with it being the school holidays so there was always someone about. It never occurred to me that going to Crewe and just being in a full house wold do wonders for my anxiety shiteness. It hasn't bothered me a jot and (touch wood) it's sorted. A good start to 2010. Another good start was filling in a job application for the Department of Health library. It took me bloody ages so if I don't get an interview I'll be so pissed off. Oh, we went to Lac Thai on New Year's Day too. I had a very taste sweet and sour chicken and of course we had the mixed starter with the vegetable bird. I took a photo this time so I'll upload it soon. Dessert was so disappointing! Tinned fruit salad with a few lychees! Not impressed!
One of the things that I didn't do while at home was see my Grandma. She'd had a fall and so wasn't very well. She's getting worse sadly. My Mum said that she visited last week and she was asking about why my Auntie hadn't rung. Her being dead for five years might be the issue here. If I didn't laugh I'd cry as it breaks my heart to see her deteriorate.
We did do some shopping though. We did really well in the sales as it happens. We got some dirt cheap photo albums in the right size. A miracle! I got Sarah Water's latest book as it was book of the week in Smiths. Very pleased as I've wanted it for ages. I got the Cake Wrecks book too. Amazing. james got some CDs and we had a nice time really. It is ncie to do some shopping elsewhere in Leeds, even if it is in Crewe.
I haven't mentioned what other presents we got. It was mostly smelly stuff but Bethany got us some Morph book ends (y'know, I was accidentally wrote 'bell ends' then! Now that would be inappropriate.) and Jonathan got us a Lego game. We also got a Trivia Persuit 'wedge' of Food and Drink which is really hard! Just finished off my Malteasers too. Yum.
I'm off until Wednesday. I'm no fool. Hurrah! We've watched TV stuff a lot lately. Doctor Who was good. Not the best but very good. The second half was better than the first I think but like the first it was very up and down. Wilfred was great though, really brilliant. David Tennant's death was very strange, it being so long. It was nice to see all of the old characters though so in that repesect it really worked. I can't think what else we've watched of late. Bits and bobs really.
