This is a bit of an over-caffienated epic ramble but I feel like it's all required in order to sit and give myself some perspective on the situation. Or something. Umm. I could probably do with some advice or opinions, I don't gauge social interaction well.

( How did this post get to be so long?! )

Hope everyone had a good Halloween/Samhain/Pomona Fest/Cosplay Night. Mine was spent, as usual, drinking cider, eating toffee apples and hiding from Treak-or-Treaters once the sweets ran out. It seems no matter where I live or with whom, I'm always the one on door duty so to go with the currently pink and black hair I whacked on a pink vest, black ( Read more... )

Another year, another birthday. I've given up trying to do proper parties because all the people I really want to invite are scattered across the four corners of the UK (and Poland and America a little bit) and just don't have the money or time to come. And the few who always seem to be free usually end up over-eating, over-drinking and then ( Read more... )

OK, need to make a list of everything I'm buying because I'm starting to forget and the spending is running away with me ( Read more... )

I found a tenner in the pineapple ice bucket Mum used to keep her hash in to cover the taxi, we got to the surgery and she promptly took a funny turn.

Ok, Tuesday morning I found out my cash card was buggered and I only had £1.60 on me. Managed to get a train ticket from Darlington to Huntingdon with the one ( Read more... )

I have an inbuilt and deep distrust of doctors. I have been to see my GP on appointment exactly twice in the last six, maybe seven years, and even then it was only grudgingly.

Well, I finally found a present Mum would actually like, but I missed her opening it because it got posted two days early! I curse the fact I didn't put a 'do not open until' note on it! Anyway, she's always saying "don't get me stuff" which pretty much eliminates most ideas out right! So for £60 I 'bought' her a care worker for AIDS orphans from ( Read more... )

Quarter of a Century. Quarter-of-a-fuckin-century! That's just scary!

Mum's back from America but she doesn't have time to meet up until Thursday, I think she's got a gig in London Wednesday night. Hopefully having the four weeks away did the trick in terms of her writers retreat. I know last time she went down to the big smoke she had three or four ( Read more... )
