step on a fast train, step out in the driving rain//
I have a positively unholy number of tabs open. Oh man. Hold me, guys. I'll... try to, y'know, actually read them over the next couple days. *sheepish*
I just bought my ticket for U2:3D on Thursday night - it is FINALLY coming out here, after all my nail-biting fears it wouldn't (since it's not like it's something you can really watch on DVD now, huh?) and... yeah. I think 'twitch' sums it up. I've been all flashbacky this week (and my god why can't I type today? extra spaces everywhere, sorry if I miss fixing some), and then I realised at work today's Izzy and Anti's ellipse-iversary, and three years since I got to hear "she's a mystery to me" (which, seriously, oh my god, just- yeah) and Bono played with lipstick and guitar duel two feet away from me and Larry grabbed Adam's ass and... a whole bunch of stuff. Which is to say, hi, I haven't been to a concert since JANUARY (Big Day Out, Melbourne), which is FAR too long and I'm going into withdrawal (and I am loving to pieces all the MCR tour reports I'm getting from various angles, even if I'm beginning to suspect my gig-envy is VISIBLE FROM ORBIT OR POSSIBLY EVEN THE OORT CLOUD), and I played a hunch at work today and double checked and, yeah, I have had ONE DAY OFF as vacation this year (er, see previous parenthesis, heh) and everything thing else has been just public holidays, and as of the pay period ending last Friday, I have actually accrued sufficient time off to get paid for June (of which I will actually BE at work for... one day. \o/) I also left pretty late today firstly cos it was just me (with able assistance from Ms J.) as other co-worker had a family emergency, and then Customer #3 had an urgent and way-more-time-consuming-than-it-would-usually-be type Thing needing to be done.
I super need to go wash my hair (which, um, changed colour again, what can I say?), so I think I will not be talking about Wellington or Pretty. Odd. tonight (me in lack of content SHOCKER!), and, stuff, and... ack, what else? Oh, I failed spectacularly at organisation on the weekend, in that I appear to not have ogreatitskate's cell number at all (I thought I did!) and so could not even text her in my internetless state to say that I hoped she was having a marvellous birthday, so, most belatedly- dearest Kate, I hope you had a brilliant day, and I was thinking of you, and much much much love and good wishes, always. (And despite the fact I dragged Ange into N.'s Workplace no less than five times, I did not manage to actually run into the_antichris's sister - there or at the con - in order to drop off Chris' birthday present-and-card for Saturday, so Chris, I hope YOU had a fabulous birthday, too. I shall see you this weekend, hopefully?)
