I couldn't let my seven-year LJ anniversary pass without popping in and saying hi.

So, hi. :)

One of these days I'll have time to write here again...

I'm alive and well. I know I've disappeared from the online world, but that's because I've all but given up using the internet at home in the past couple of months. It started when I moved in with Alex for the month of October to housesit for his parents when they were overseas, and although I've been back home for a couple of weeks I haven't got ( Read more... )

I'm really tired tonight for some reason. Maybe it was because I was incredibly bored at work today. I just can't focus on anything. I'm ready for it to be the weekend. Luckily it's my half-day tomorrow, so I'll be out of there at lunchtime. I'm planning an afternoon of hitting the sales. All this recent going out has made me realise how few decent ( Read more... )

Tonight, who should be a ( Read more... )

I'm so tired tonight. I had a really busy day - which was actually a good thing as it made the day pass in a flash and gave me a sense of satisfaction that I got so much done. But I was already tired before I got to work. I didn't sleep well at all last night. There was no middle-of-the-night phone call this time; it was other stuff keeping me ( Read more... )

Yesterday was notable mainly for the fact that, for the first time this year, it was cold enough to wear a coat. It was only my 'autumn coat', not one of my proper winter coats, but still, a coat is a coat. I needed it today as well. I love this time of year. The cold weather invigorates me, makes me feel alive. Yesterday was one of those ( Read more... )

Another funfilled evening, another unexpected twist at the end - just another day in my increasingly eventful life. I'm glad it's bedtime.
