Just Mands

So long time no talk journal of mine.

What is there to say...

Passed my driving theory (yay!) with some impressive scores if I do say so myself (45/50 for the theory and 65/75 for the hazard perception)

Trudging on with my university course, feeling even more anxious than ever with my recent submission. Pretty sure I did a pretty shit job on my last assignment. Oh well >.>

Still looking for someplace to live as the place estel_willow and I thought was the "perfect" place has fallen through. Alas. Just have to keep looking until we can find a new place to call home.

Still working at the bank and doing the best I can to stay sane :)

I cannot for the life of me find a decent roleplay game so PSLs it is!

I miss X-Men

Am now the proud owner of two gerbils by the name of Chloe and Leah :) They are so cute. Chloe's mine and she's totally hyperactive and makes with the chewing until the early hours of the morning, much to Willow's chagrin.

Weather is still fucking insane here what with the 60mph winds.

Just trying to get on with life and looking forward to my week's holiday next week. Could definitely do with some time off.

Honestly my life isn't all that exciting, but it is for the first time looking like I'm going to be able to move out and get on with living life for me instead of you know for... other people. Sounds overly dramatic I know, but it's the truth.

Just wishing the transition wasn't being so bloody difficult, but it's okay, I've reached my angry!bitch stage and I'm never very nice when I'm like that. It is however very motivational :D Makes moving out a whole lot easier.

Um... not sure what else to say, just wanted to drop a note to say that I'm still alive and very much kicking.

Life is nothing if not hectic and a little on the crazy side at the moment.

Real Life Events:

My brother's girlfriend was disgnosed with bowel cancer.

She has recently undergone an intensive surgery, removing about three quarters of her small intensine and is in the process of recovery with her ups and downs.

There's good chance there might be another cancerous growth on her Liver, but the doctors are hoping it's benign.

She went for a scan today.

I applied for a promotion at work, from a Clerical A role to a Clerical B role, and was successful.

I won £100 in Ovations at work, which I'm putting towards a 32gb Ipod Touch.

My mother has tendon growth on her hand and foot along with wear and tear athritis in her hands as a result of having Polio.

I've also been doing a lot of travelling for work.

Myself and estel_willow have started going to aqua aerobics.

Am seriously considering dong an Undergraduate degree in History through the Open University.

Online Events:

Am tired of drama and wank caused by people in new games I have sought out.

Due to this drama and wank, myself and estel_willow have created a new game.

This game is called wf_high and information can be found here if anybody is interested at all, still in the middle of updating things.

It's kind of late so I'm going to get offline for possible crashing, hope everybody is good!

My brother's girlfriend might have bowel cancer.

Not entirely sure how to feel about this.

Mum's in tears and brother is close.

Still not sure, results are in tomorrow, am trying to hope for the best.

This fucking sucks.

Bah.

Going into work for a stupid hour on a Sunday.

Bah humbug!

Bleeeeeeuuuuuurrrrgggggghhhhh

And that is all.

So as of yesterday which was the 10th February 2010, myself and estel_willow have gone and gotten ourselves tattoooed.

It's her third one and my very first :)

I was expecting something horrific, I really was. Nearly turned tail and ran on the way to ABody, but I didn't! Turns out that it was nowhere near as bad as I thought it was going to be, just like a lot of cat scratches with the occasional warm fuzzy as masochistic as that sounds. You do get to a point where it starts to feel good, even if you're reminded a second later that you're cutting into skin and imprinting ink into it! I had a good tattoo artist by the name of Jay who was just the right amount of reassuring, talkative and quiet as I closed my eyes and just chilled as he tattooed my wrist.

I like it, I like it a lot, it's so pretty! And very me! And also it means something, which is all you can ever ask of ink.

I've finally joined the ink masses and I did it without crying, having to stop the artist from working and without freaking out when it was being done. Yay, good pain threshold! I did bleed a lot, which was kind of... gross.

Anyhoo without further ado here are the links to a couple pictures I've taken:

So yes there it is and I'm really glad I finally did it, was so afraid I'd be one of those people who just talk about getting tattooed and then never do.

I'm glad for my family and all its accepting ways because they were all "oh you're getting a tattoo? That's cool."

Wheeeeeee.

*screams into a pillow*

What a shitty working week this has been!

For real.

Stayed behind at work yesterday just to check some stupid fucking testing I have to do on a regular basis. It's like a ticking time bomb, it really is.

Bleurgh.

Bring on my week off.

Also? I am tiring of my mother's moods.

Two years!!!

Happy anniversay, estel_willow!

Hope we'll have a lot more.

xxxx

It's that time of year again, folks.

A big happy new year to one and all! Have a great one, try not to get too wasted and try to keep the regrets to a minimum!

Bring on 2010!

Sidenote: estel_willow and I are restarting an old writing community called muse_channel on livejournal. It runs in much the same way as Theatrical Muse and it's open to all, but the best thing about it? It's only one prompt per month instead of one each week! We both know how busy life can get sometimes ;)

Love to see you there, but no pressure, writing is supposed to be fun.

Speaking of writing, I really need to get onto fic!

Take care all.

All my love and best wishes for 2010!

The double standards in my family would be laughable if they weren't so fucking annoying.

*headdesks repeatedly*

Willow's stairs tried to kill me.

Slipped down them feet first meaning I twisted my left ankle quite badly and twisted the wrist attached to the hand (just so happens to be my left) that attempted to grapple the wall. Not that smart considering Willow doesn't have bannisters and just walls. Pain, glorious pain.

Doesn't help that I smacked my hip and back on the way down either.

I would say bring on tomorrow, but as I'm working on Saturday it doesn't really apply. I find out my fate tomorrow as myself and the rest of my team have been removed from the system that allows us to view our phone/controls schedule on Saturdays. I'm really hoping I won't be on the phones at all, but I have the worst luck sooooo... I bet they'll come back and say "you're on the phones from this time to that time".

Started on season 3 of BSG and it's way more bearable than I remember so that's good :)

Also beginning to think that stress is getting the better of me judging by my sporadic fits of tears and this general feeling of apathy everytime I wake up.

Hopefully my mood improves!

It's so much easier to watch season 2 of BSG when I have somebody to bitch to about Anders and Dee.

Seriously.

Lots of deep breathing helps as well.

Nearly through season 2 and soon to season 3!

4 days of holiday to enjoy. Yay.

Got solos written for my new Low Tide muses which is always good, I can't wait!

Also? I'm no longer friends only! No particular reason, I just felt like it.

Hello World!
