| Why do you have all the snow in the world? |
[Dec. 22nd, 2009|07:41 am] |
The snow was Narnian in proportions when I was walking home last night. I've never been more glad of my henparty hiking boots, I barely slipped, my feet were warm and I could walk at a normal pace.
I got to our cul-de-sac and found that it was covered in snow. None of the cars had made it home yet, and not many people had walked on it. So I built the biggest snowman I've ever built! He wasn't huge, but was quite big, I always missed the snow when it happened in Ashton, so the snowman made me happy.
I'm now on my way to work. My day-dream of remote commuting from bed today was shattered by the fact that the trains were running and it's not likely to snow again today. Darn, I was liking the idea of not travelling today.
Nearly Christmas. I'm all prepared, my presents are bought and the washing is getting done daily so that we have plenty of clothes to pack from to go to Owen's Mum's with. I've completely failed to do Christmas cards this year, poo.
I'm looking forward to having all of Christmas off :-) |

I'm feeling distinctly full of suck. Shelly's having a girl's night and I'm not going, again.
I love to do a girl's night on a Friday or Saturday, but I just don't feel that I can go out on weeknights unless it's somewhere near me. Town I can manage, it's on my way home, but going anywhere off-route isn't possible without either a) being shattered the next day, or b) having to leave really early.
Could I have gone? Yes, I could have not had any dinner and gone for an hour or so before I had to leave. I decided not to go.
So, I need an honest opinion, am I being shit? |

We're definitely on for the all-ladies 7th Sea game on Saturday, and I have to say, I'm very excited. I could bounce, and I may well bounce before Saturday comes around.
The Christmas shopping is well underway, I think that I only have Owen, my brother, Grandma and Auntie Elsie left to buy for, with Owen being the most difficult of those. |

Had a lovely night last night playing games at Eclectic to celebrate D's birthday. I won Pitch Car, which I'm quite proud of, I like winning games of skill; actually I like winning in general, but games of skill are so much more satisfying than games of luck.
Stayed up late with Owen after we got home *grin*
*double grin*
*triple grin*
We got up early this morning to go see New Moon at the cinema. I have to admit, it was a bit poo. The action was better in the film, loved the fight scenes, but the books get the feelings across an awful lot more than the film does. Also, I'm in the Team Jacob camp, I think it would have been a lot better if Bella had gone to save Edward and then dumpped his skinny whiney emo butt for being a loser and leaving her "for her own good". That's bollocks, you only ever leave someone because it's right for you, not because it's right for them. But no, he's her soulmate, so it doesn't matter that Edward left her alone in a wood with a heart so broken that she didn't even notice three or four months pass, or that Jacob's a nicer guy, warm to cuddle up with and can grow old with her; no one could ever beat the unbreakable soulmate bond!
I love the books, I really do, so much so that I went to see it in the cinema, but I hate that young girls might be reading them and thinking that love and relationships are really like that. Mostly because I was stuck in that little fantasy between the ages of 17 and 20, and in the end all it got me was a whole heap of depression, a bunch of anger and masses of missed opportunities.
Cry more.
After the cinema we did a little Christmas shopping, trying to get the shops that don't open tomorrow. On the way home we dropped into Moondogs, which I love and wish I could go to more often. There was a live band playing, Brassneck, they were quite good. |
