I know, I know, I never write, I never visit. I am an appallingly bad f-lister. I have just got back from a week in London where I have been thoroughly chastised for this behaviour, and so, here I am. Posting for the first time in years on a non-paid account, without my wealth of pretty icons, which is admittedly very weird. I don't like this ( Read more... )

I hadn't realised how long it has been since I updated! Sowwy. Mary says I must inform you all that I am alive. Dutifully informing. Started new job, all going well. Can't wait to get paid. Paid account up in a few days, not sure I should spend the money to renew it but I know how much lack of userpics and ads are going to drive me crazy. ( Read more... )

Hello world. I am sat here in Burton after picking up Suzie and Joey from the airport yesterday, drinking tea, watching XF and reading Gillian Anderson's new message to her fans, and I feel at peace for the first time in...months. Since the whole New York and IWTB experience, actually. Suddenly life is all clicking back together. I had a lovely ( Read more... )

Oh. My. God. Dearest LJ, let me tell you, I have had the most amazing couple of weeks of my life. Finally arrived back from London on Tuesday, but as yesterday was Joey's birthday (He's 2 years old! TWO!) I was busy with one over-excited toddler, two cranky babies, cutest puppy that ever lived and my hilariously loud and black country-esque ( Read more... )

Am I the only person in the entire country truly horrified by the death of Mark Speight? It might be because I have no TV and little internet, therefore my perception of what's making the news is a bit lopsided, but it just seems nobody cares. And I care. I'm so devastated for him. I have many British LJ friends a similar age to me, they can't ( Read more... )

God, this place is dead. I'm filtering journals only, but seen as half my f-list have abandoned due to fear-of-spoileritus there's not much to read anyway. I'm hovering somewhere between amused and amazed that the world would stand still like this for a book. I think I'm edging more to the 'wonderful' aspect of it, with a healthy dose of ( Read more... )

Joey crawled! Tonight! For the very first time! He was a bit (OK, very) wobbly but he did it. He all growing up. Sob ( Read more... )

Plugging time, yay! With the help of londonbeauty001 I've created a community for straightheads, in the hope that it will generate an insy bit more net awareness about the film. Please join and plug everywhere!

OMG, I'm so impossibly tired I may be dead and not yet know it. I want an official round of applause please; I feel like hell and yet I attended all three of my lectures today, and managed to do a detailed plan for one of my essays. Oh yes, my procrastination days are behind me. Maybe ( Read more... )

I was a bad girl tonight and skipped class. But I did so for a very good reason; it was the Last King of Scotland premiere in Leicester Square. Complete with red carpet appearance from Gillian Anderson. So who needs a degree anyway ( Read more... )
