white and green visions

Aug 19, 2009 07:38

Organised the car for Susan's wedding, fuck, somebody had to do it with only a few days to go. While everyone is struggling to find something on such short notice, I worked my magic (I'm so efficient and effective, the 'go-to' girl) and got a white 1976 Daimler limo (photo link). Classic car. And apparently she's leaving her flowers until Friday - one day beforehand! I'm enjoying not being part of the wedding.

Watched some movies, Funny Games (2008 film), and the Colour of Magic.
Funny games is twisted, and my theory is the two guys in white shirts know that they are in a movie (while the other characters do not), so the white shirts are then able to do whatever they want. That may not make any sense, but I'm sure it will if you've seen it.
James bought me Tin Man and The Notebook. Over the next month he'll be getting me Repo! and the first season of Merlin. So stoked.

Last night we saw the accountant and we'll be getting a significant chunk back on our tax return. AWESOME. James is trying to teach me to spend money, I get $350 and get to spend it on anything I want at all and it has to be only for me. Meaning I can't spend it on him, rent or bills. So... What am I going to spend the money on? Well I'll definitely get some ugg boots, and then I was thinking of getting another piercing. And then after that? Fuck I don't know, maybe clothes.. The last time I bought clothes for the sake of it (not to replace something, and not counting the dress for Susan's wedding... oh, and not counting lingerie) was last spring after I gave birth. I bought a singlet and a cardi.
I love window shopping but have trouble actually spending money. "Oh, this is a nice object. But... Do I like this object enough to actually buy it? No."

Henry's book Emperor's Mercy is released already so I should get around to buying it. It's about $17. Support the arts! Er, sci-fi authors. Poor guy has so much uni work to do he doesn't know when he'll be free to drop around for a D&D game. I may have to ambush him.

On Sunday we weren't able to finish our D&D game (which really cut John, he really went all out on it. And Jenny and Michael piked out at the last minute and didn't even tell him all day. Pfft.) so this Friday we'll be gaming from 4pm onwards.
I have counselling again at 2pm on Friday also. My homework for that is to think of something that I can do to help me love myself. It can't do with money, or rely on other people. It has to be something I can do myself. I have no ideas. Anyone help?
I'm not a girl for "pampering". Or I could just lie and say "Yeah, a hot bath with candles and bath crystals would help me feel better." Or manicures and crap. Hmm.

HELP: WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP ME LOVE MYSELF? ANSWER CANNOT RELY ON MONEY (as do not always have) OR OTHER PEOPLE (compliments are not always given).

movies, counselling, wedding, money, games.
