Bearing loot and leftover turkey with which to make sammiches. :D
Not much in the way of presents (it's been a bad year for all of us, money-wise), but what I did get (A YARD OF JAFFA CAKES, Fallout New Vegas and Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days*) was pretty awesome. Dinner, amazingly, went without a hitch - everything seemed to get cooked on schedule, there was no last minute chaos with everyone squeezing into the kitchen to do their respective jobs, no dogs ate the turkey and it even got served hot. Okay, the gravy didn't thicken very well (and I didn't want to risk adding too much cornflour in case it got irredeemably lumpy), but apart from that HUGE SUCCESS. Also guy who may possibly be my boyfriend (henceforth to be known as Will, as it's much easier to type) texted me just after midnight Xmas Eve to wish me Merry Christmas, which was sweet. <3 Doctor Who was... okay. Not my favourite episode by a long chalk, but as the Christmas specials go it's definitely one of the better ones (much better than, for instance, Dervla Kirwan riding a giant Cyberman mecha - WTF was that one supposed to be?). As for the rest of the Christmas TV that wasn't Emmerdale or Coronation Street yeah... even more dire than usual, but I was glad to see Channel 4 kept up their annual tradition of showing a 70s horror film at midnight Christmas night - this year it was Carrie; always a classic. :)
*I've already completed Days but I only had it on my Acekard, so it was nice to have a physical copy to add to my otherwise-complete KH collection.

I r old...
Oct. 23rd, 2010 11:44 amNoticed quite a lot of grey hairs around my temples looking in the mirror just now; not sure how to feel about this. On one hand, yay at the prospect of saving money on peroxide when I dye my hair, but on the other, it's not pleasant to have that reminder that I'm not 19 anymore, much as my brain clings onto it.* Hmm... maybe I should embrace my impending dotage and start wafting around in kimonos?
*Unless you're a believer in "you're as young as who you feel", that is... Wednesday was very affirming that way. :D

Planning my Hallowe'en costume right now. I have an idea, but i need to rope a girl into it to pull it off (Toya'll probably do it, seeing as she's now single so won't be wanting to theme with a partner - when I can get hold of her I need to ask). Basically, I'm thinking gender-swapped quasi-gothic Black Dahlia & Bugsy Siegel i.e. me as a 1920s flapper, the girl as a gangster in a zoot suit and fedora, possibly both with appropriate mutilations. This could be AWESOME if pulled off right. :D
Only problem I foresee is getting hold of appropriate shoes - going through a cross dresser's shop chance to be expensive, and I'm on a limited budget. *wonders if it's possible to rent size 13 patent leather slingbacks*

MROOOOOOOOOOWWWWW
Sep. 7th, 2010 08:30 pm Just woke up from an unplanned nap, with, incidentally a great dream that would make for a brilliant piece of creepypasta if only I could remember it fully.
The first thing I have to do on waking up?
Have a cig? Don't be silly.
Make coffee? That would be normal.
Empty my full to bursting bladder? As if.
Feed the cat so he'll stop with that infernal whining and leave me be?
You got it.
Turns out gay men can be pussywhipped too.

Proof, if any were needed, that I really need to do something about the legibility of my handwriting.
I'm mostly surprised they managed to decipher my email address, if that's the mess they made out of my name.
Got chatting with this guy on Gaydar earlier, apparently a foot lover, as his first message asked what size mine were. I told him, he seemed to approve and asked for pics. Why anyone would want to see my manky hooves I have no idea, but I obliged. To which he responded he'd rather see my soles. Now, it's been quite a while since I practised yoga so there was no way I could get both of them in shot, but I managed to contort myself so one was visible and the camera was pointing at it, shot and sent. The response?
Silence.
I'm wondering what happened now... did he fap himself into oblivion? Or (more realistically) was the sight too horrendous for mere mortal eyes and he's now comatose, my lower appendages lying basilisk-like in wait on his screen for the next hapless soul to wander into the room to gaze upon and be destroyed by?
Or maybe he just ran out of messages for the day - who knows?

Went to the doctors and the dentists today. The former doubled my antidepressants so hopefully that will help, and the latter fixed my broken tooth which is good also.
...then I got home. D:
The house had been invaded by flies. Lots of them. Buzzing around the window in a noisy swarm, sitting on the towels in the bathroom and hiding behind the kitchen clock. Not pleasant. I managed to chase most of them out of the window and swat the rest (probably still some hiding, but they're not bugging me so it's okay for now), but srsly - where the fuck did they come from?
Also, there was a horrible smell on entering the building; this coupled with the fly attack has me thinking that one of my neighbours is dead and decomposing. D:

The drama unfolds
Jul. 27th, 2010 09:09 pmI came in from shopping a few hours ago to be met with this:
"Wait a minute!", I hear you say, "that spider's upside down!".
Indeed. Which could mean only one thing:
THE MOULT HAD BEGUN!
( For those with a little time... )
Still waiting for hir to flip back the right way so I can take a picture of hir shiny new back, but there you go - the moulting process of a Chilean Rose tarantula. :D

Stuff to get for Pride:
Jun. 30th, 2010 03:29 pmYes, I've decided I'm going. Just putting this here so I don't forget.
2m each lightweight pink & black material (gonna be flying the queer anarchist flag instead of the rainbow one)
Thread
A decent pair of scissors
Some nice new clothes, if I can afford it
God of War 3No, Paul. Stay focused.
Little colourful stickers, or alternatively facepaints

Toya & Charlotte's charity bash was fucking awesome - just got back about an hour ago. Especially loved the burlesque act, and Nick Hell was amazing, as were all three bands they had playing. Plenty of people showed up (hopefully enough to make up for that git at the afternoon do who charged for his performance even though it was for charity) and the atmosphere was great - definitely hope they do it again some day.
Anyway, too tired to do the music meme tonight - I'll catch up in the morning. Bed nao~

How do I miss this stuff?!
Humber Hill is the road outside my window FFS...
(actually thinking about it, that might be what was going on the other day with the sirens & helicopters and all that guff. It'd explain the road being blocked off too, probably. gg Paul. ^^; )
