An update about stuff! We like stuff right? Yes yes we do! (Long post)
Feeling a bit hyper although my stomach is feeling a bit blarrrgh.
Had a lovely evening out with friends, some I haven't seen for a while (not since my two friends got married last year actually, and yet we all still get on so well, well we have known each other since kids!) my friend's birthday to be precise, we ate at a restaurant called Browns, sadly the service was a bit poor, my friend's girlfriend received the wrong order, and then when we got the bill they tried to charge her for their mistake, doh!
And the drinks...EXPENSIVE! £4.50 for a glass of vodka and orange juice, are you having a laugh?
Then they made us wait quite a while before our food arrived, got some other things wrong. My friend Em wanted rocket as her choice of salad "sorry we've run out of rocket, would you like a different side salad" so she went for that, what was in the side salad? Rocket. ¬_¬ well I suppose they must class it as a different thing but they could have said lol
But god the prices...still wincing, if I earned a lot of money it might not matter so much!
Our friend Ashley, who's the joker out of the lot of us, decided to play a trick on me. We were outside and the door to Browns is actually a revolving door, which is a little hard to push (for me anyway, I'm little and weak O_O) as we were going in, myself first, Ashley right behind decided to push the door at WARP SPEED, sending me nearly flying out the other side, maniac! I had to laugh though XD
Before we left for the dinner everything was running a little late, which was okay, the birthday girl wasn't too stressed about being a little late. I did her hair and make up (the makeup artist course is going really well! I got an A on my first unit!) but then her dress broke, the damn zip got stuck. Em was amazing though, she actually went to the shop to get a new one for her! My friends <3
Sadly one of my other best friends couldn't make it, because while on her sewing machine she impaled herself in the finger with a needle, and it went right through her finger out the other side! Somehow she managed to post pictures of it on FB, OUCH! She's okay now though thankfully.
Some other important news is that myself, and two other friends are doing a charity walk for a local Hospice (Willen Hospice) which is a wonderful charity-run place for people to go with terminal illness that medication is no longer working on, their final resting place if you will, and they make people feel comfortable, with a gorgeous view outside of the amazing garden they have and the lake, nurses to help with everything from easing pain to helping them get about. Each of us that are doing the Midnight Moo walk have had loved ones go there for their final days. My personal experience was my Mum, who in March of 2010 was diagnosed with Colon Cancer, which had spread to her Liver, there was no way to operate. In May of that same year she passed away at Willen Hospice after receiving the care there, she said she felt like she was on holiday, and although it was a very tough time, we were all glad she was relaxed there, and thankful for what they did. They mostly survive on donations, the Midnight Moo walk is held every year, this year we're going to do that 10 mile walk, and we've set up a donations page, so if you feel you'd like to donate, anything you can, please do: http://www.justgiving.com/Angela-Gemma-Jenny
I also helped out at a summer fete doing face painting on kids, my first time doing it, which the proceeds also went to Willen Hospice and the Little Lives Appeal (babies born prematurely) I have to say I didn't do too badly on the face painting, although people were asking me if I could do their parties, oh well, I'm a trainee make up artist and that is very different, but I have been thinking that I could incorporate it into my makeup artistry, but face painting is somewhat different from that, I do kind of want to be known more for my makeup skills. (I'm in the purple top)
I did the bottom two on the left and the butterly on the upper right hand corner)

Before I go I just want to quickly throw in a short two cents on this whole Gackt "drama" about him possibly dating/possibly not/whatever.
It is what it is. At the end of the day we can talk til we're blue in the face but honestly, it's his life, his private life. And although it is perfectly understandable that for some fans it may be a little upsetting if you have a crush on him (I won't get into the psychology of it all) nothing can be done and even if it could, you shouldn't, if you know anything of his past then you know that fans got too involved once and it ruined things, which is shameful. It's fine to fantasize, who doesn't? It's fine to be jealous, it can't be helped, and even if you hate him or hate her, it's harsh but it's still your right to feel that way, but to actively get in the way it's just disgraceful. I admit I was a little taken aback, but quickly realized that he has said many times he goes out on dates, like any person would. Whether it is serious or not is not up to us, but them.
And if it has really upset you, just try to remember that he loves all his fans, he is so appreciative of the ongoing support over the years, and is always saying how much he loves his "Dears" each and every one of us, that will never change. That's enough for me =)
Anyway, ta'ta for now!
