11:22 pm	Ooooh... Nice.... Got a surprise today. As all my friends know, I've been shockingly poor recently, so imagine my surprise when on payday, I check my bank account balance, and find that there is an extra ?1000 in there. Much confused, and wondering who is going to be demanding this accidental over-payment back soon, I toddle off to work. Upon arriving, I get my payslip, and find that the extra grand is actually mine. You see, up until a couple of months ago, I had been on emergency tax. For about a year. And now Inland Revenue has given me all that extra tax back. Yay! Much happiness abound! So this month I'm going to treat myself a little, and put a huge chunk into a savings account that I have been meaning to start. Hmmm.... I intend to buy the Monster Smackdown for Buffy. After Star Wars on Wednesday, we all ended up disscussing what characters people would play if I ran Buffy. Hannah and Duncan had a really fun idea, and Simon Fr. has already created his character (although apparantly he wants to play D20 Modern more). Works for me though, because if I know what characters people want to play, I can plan in advance, which is always a bonus with such a character-oriented plots that Buffy tends to have. Hmmm... Not much else is new. For some odd reason I've gone on a Wing Commander bender recently, which is all very strange. Actually, in general I seem to have rediscovered my beloved PS (not 2, the original, and yes, it is very sad). Although I was devasted when I tried to load up Final Fantasy IX, only to find the save game had corrupted. Nooooo! Nearly 50 hours of saved gameplay! *Sob* So I started that again, and found it wasn't so bad 'cause its a super nifty game. Heh. Well, I think that'll do for now.

5:01 pm	War in Iraq Just a polite reminder to everyone who wishes to harp on about the waste of time war is and the total idiocy of those signed up in the services. My father and uncle are in the military. My uncle is already in the Gulf, and there is a very real chance my dad could be sent over there. These are thoughts that keep me up at night, and the thought that either could die is one that had reduced me to tears on more than one occasion. Be nice. (Comment on this)

5:22 pm	Blah Bored. Bored bored bored bored bored. Simon's at LARP, and I'm bored, if you hadn't guessed already. The phone keeps ringing, but its Simon's parents and I'm really not in the moood to talk with them. So I'm not quite sure what to do with myself. Hmmm. Well, I had a fun evening out Friday night. Went to see Daredevil for Duncan's birthday. Enjoyed the film, enjoyed hanging out with my friends. Well, I've got nothing else to say, and typing is difficult at the moment because my hands are so cold. I'll leave it there for now. Ta ta folks.

12:25 am	Wibbly bibbly flibble. Hmmm... I updated my journal far more often when I had a client. Maybe I should download another one. Although little has actually happened, I'll babble on for a little while and bore you all. Money remains tight. I've come to the sad conclusion that I will never be comfortable in anything resembling the immediate future, and resigned to just scraping by for another few years. This I find absolutely miserable and I hate it. My job remains fun, although mainly due to the staff I work with. I've been told I won't be getting a pay rise this year (which is fine, I'm in the process of looking for another job that pays a fair/decent wage), due to my levels of absence. If you look back, this unacceptable level of absence is due to a rather bad case of food poisoning that I never got a sick note for. My bad, and I won't be repeating that mistake. Healthwise, I've been okay. Had a mild kidney infection that I thankfully got sorted out early on, else it could have turned nasty. I've also started going to Weight Watchers, and I have lost a total of 6lbs. This cheers me up after every class, its nice to finally feel good about my body, even if I'm still a long way off. Roleplay has changed again, one day we will find a campaign that actually lasts, although both D&D and Star Wars are looking promising on that front, as well as both being super fun. I've got a few games on the drawing board that I would like to run at some point, although we'll have to wait for that. I want to spend more time with my friends away from roleplay. I feel that the only time I ever see them is at a RP session, and this makes me unhappy too. Throughout my entire life, I am the friend that people hang out with, but never talk to. I don't know why, but people never seem to view me as a confidant, and I am always finding out stuff that happened to my friends months ago. It makes me miserable... Am not trustworthy for some reason? Why don't people ever talk to me? Wow. I'm more unhappy than I thought. It all just seems to come bubbling out sometimes. I wish I could say I felt better for getting off my chest, but I don't. I think its the money that makes me the most unhappy. I fear every letter that comes through the door, every time the phone rings my adrenaling begins to pump, in case its a letter from someone demanding money I simply don't have. Not wishing to end on a totally depressing note, I can honestly say that Simon keeps me going. He is wonderful, and I don't think I could cope without him. Words just really don't express how much I love this man. There's not much else to say, really. I'm gonna go, wipe away the tears, and put on the happy face that everyone knows. Night all, and hopefully things will seem better in the morning. Current Mood: sad Current Music: None - Simon's watching a film. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

12:26 pm	McGuffin' Well, here we are eight days from Christmas, and I haven't done any shopping. Then again I don't (and won't) have the money until the twentith, so this should be fun :) This year we are spending Christmas at Simon's parents. Orginally the plan was to alternate between parents each year. Didn't quite work out that way, cause mine thought they were going up to Yorkshire, for which Simon and I couldn't sort the time off for, so we decided to go to his instead. Then mine said they weren't actually going because my mum and little sister couldn't get the time off either. At which point we tried to change it back to going to theirs. This is when we are told (basically) that we can't by Simon's parents because his Uncle is holding Crimbo dinner at his house, and since it is the first time since his wife died, it would be wrong for at least Simon not to go. Well. I guess that means I'm going too, as I don't really relish the idea of spending Christman apart. So that means I'll see my family on Boxing day. Not hugely happy about this, but hey. I'll cope. Hmmmm... Not much else to say at the moment. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

7:20 pm	Guff guff guffy Hmmm. I haven't posted in a while, now have I? And I'm sad to say, bugger all has happened. Here is the small uninteresting amount that has (presented in no particular order); WORK Love it and hate it. Like the staff, the managers I can live without. I was promised that they would sponsor me the the course I wanted to do. Did that happen? Did it b*ll*cks. They held on to my application for until it was past the deadline and then they skirted around the reason, promising meetings about it that never appeared. Well bugger them, there's another one starting in January, and I'm gonna try to pay for this one myself. That way I'm not beholden to them, and if I have to leave I can, without a huge amount of course fees to pay back one week after I have left. I've also discovered that I have to be either learning something, or looking forward to learning something. In the few weeks between finding out they hadn't entered me, and learning about this course I was so depressed about my life. The idea about being stuck in a job where there was no chance of moving forward horrified me. I wonder what else I don't know about myself. HOME Moved house at the beginning of August. Yay! Nice little house on the other end of town, just me and Simon. Such a relief when we signed the contract for that. Moving was a bit of a debacle, and we still haven't totally unpacked yet, but nevermind. FRIENDS Everyone seems okay at the moment, barring problems that I don't know about or don't want to talk about. I'm missing everyone from the old house quite a lot though... I want to make more of an effort to see Nick and Owen, as they live in town. I wanna talk to Mike though. Strange that he drove me up the wall when he was here, but now he's gone I miss him loads. Its quite difficult to get hold of him too - he doesn't have net access at the moment, and text messages are quite difficult to get through. FAMILY Again, everyone's doing okay. It was my Nana's 80th birthday on 29/09, and the whole family got together. It was really nice to see everyone again, and I couldn't believe how much some of my cousins had grown-up. Still miss my Mum, Dad and little sis. I think its because when I was at Uni, I knew that I could go and see them whenever I wanted (in theory). Now I'm working that's simply not the case and I miss them more that I did before. ROLEPLAY Buffy good. Mmmm Buffy. Got the Buffy RPG at GenCon and started running some games afterwards. Its super cool. Also playing 7th Sea again, which is one of my favourites (and I think the game Hannah is best at GMing, and enjoys the most) OTHER STUFF I have my driving theory test at the end of October, and a week last Tuesday (01/10) I had my belly button pierced. It hurt far less than I expected, although I suspect that's partly due to the piercer's liberal use of the spray-on anaesthetic. I have a nice bar with a blue jem at the bottom. Money, as always, is short, but hopefully next month I should be considered for a pay review. Else I might have to look elsewhere. I find it offensive that someone who stacks shelves at ASDA gets three or four thousand a year more than me. And no, that isn't an exaggeration. If is was, I wouldn't be so p*ssed off. ;) That's it for now. I'm sure another update will along in a few months or so. :) (1 Comment |Comment on this)
