~ C:/ is for claustrophobic. ~
Worship Of The Moment goes to Destra for having to endure the pain of reading something I wrote in unsocialable hours - and it showed. >_< Note to self: only write in daylight hours. Then there's less chance of writing sentences that look like complete utter garble.
I'm re-drafting it now, thank goodness.
Mum is giving me the hassle over The Evil of Computers And How They Make Charshy Unsocialable, etc etc... I don't socialise because I don't want to. I can deal with people in small doses, but I saw Spayley, Gemma, and Scott today, and that's really my quota filled for the week. I want to see Beaky this week though. I haven't seen her in aaaaages. ;_;
Want to do MGSlash updatey-like. Have only 300MB of hard disk space left down here. Argh! So I'm now burning as much stuff as possible to CD to take to the 20GB-space PC of mine upstairs, so the 5GB-space PC down here survives.
What's seriously annoying me about my PC upstairs is the soundcard, which I have a replacement for but no screwdriver to take the PC casing off, and also some vital drivers for the monitor are missing, so all my games crash as the colours are unavailable. >.< I'd play them down here - if not for the lack of installation space!
So, Gravitation episodes will move upstairs, as well as few movies and mp3s. Off to the task I go!

... The first thought that pops into my head with this image is salmon. It's gotta be the size of that guy's mouth, dammit!
Saw my cousins today after college. ^_^ That was nice. I'm trying to catch up on my social life I've been missing due to college coursework.
And ARGH, Kingdom Hearts is giving me hell... can't beat the desert boss in Agrabah. I know how to do it, but I keep running out of Potions! ;_; And damn you, Tinkerbell! Keep up with the action!
Hm, I'd probably get through more work if I completed KH and Icewind Dale 2. Not a bad thought... *goes to play* and I am gonna write some toy fikay! *Goes to type toy ficcy*

Random notes: the college tea tastes crap, and I have a new diary theme planned. ^^;
19/02/2003 - 1:48 pm
~ Catchup entry ~
To the known count of 5 readers!
As you can tell, I might be surviving my workload! I'm much happier now. ^_^ I'm pulling myself through the amount of work, crawling upwards. I'm still far behind and in lots of trouble, and generally trying to squeeze time out like the last bit of toothpaste in a tube... but I'm getting there! I can see some light at the end of the tunnel. My friend Danielle always insisted it was from an oncoming train, but bah! What does she know? I'm forever the optimist.
I haven't really talked much about my job, and I think I should. Sorry, but I like torture. I get paid a crummy £3.50 an hour (that's... $2.20? I think), but I like what I do. I don't get too many arsehole customers, but I feel inclined to laugh at them when they turn up. Like last week, poor Jen, our new worker, had some woman walk up to her, and announce, "Shredders." Just like that. No hand gestures. No please. No indication of what she wanted about these shredders. I mean, geez, if she'd wanted to know where they were, it would have made more sense to have asked, "Where are the shredders?" I hate people who are rude for the sake of it.
Work amuses me in many small ways. Firstly, the staff. Luke has the Officially Campest Voice of 2003. There was a conversation sparked last week where basically everyone confessed: "Sorry, Luke. All of us thought you were gay when we first met you." And then Andy admitted one of the other managers asked if he was his boyfriend!!! XD Oh, and I admire Andy. He's a manager, and he is SO unmanagerlike. He has a pierced lip and comes to work with a black hoodie with "Punk in Drublic" emblazoned on it. It's hilarious when people go up to him and ask for the manager, and seeing the horror etched on their faces when he says he IS a manager.
I don't like one of the guys who works there, Mark. Mark is a complete utter head-shoved-up-his-arse teenager. He's the same age as me, but whereas I get off my backside and work, and smile when I greet customers, his sulky teenage expression never changes. He doesn't smile at customers, and serves them with utmost reluctance. He has never said one nice word to me since I started, and he makes fun of everyone, yet when Andy made a teasing joke about his surname (it's Kitchen, so he called him "Mark Fitted Kitchen"), he went off in a total mood! I don't understand why they don't give him the sack.
The rest are okay, but... but... they're so... boring! They think I'm weird. I mean, yeah, I am weird, but they think I'm weird in the bad sense. They're always saying, "You're such a freak! Don't you do anything normal?" and they say it like its a bad thing. Why can't they accept me like I am? It's almost like school all over again sometimes. It makes me so mad!
Finally, another Work Fact: the name of the stationery supplier of rulers, pencil sharpeners, and - yes, I'll say it for the sake of bad humour - rubbers, is called KUM Ltd. KUM! ... With that off my chest, I'll stop blurbing over my part-time job, and write about my life. That thing I get told I don't have... ^^;
Spayley has a boyfriend. It's a match made in heaven - his nickname is Sparky. Spayley and Sparky. What could be better? He likes anime, and is weird with cool hair and wears glasses, and as Spayley said, "he's a male version of YOU!" O_o;
Been playing Kingdom Hearts a lot. ... I have a serious soft spot for Riku, but I'm not sure if I should. It'd be statutory rape. [Spoiler alert - highlight to view!]
I was so happy when Kairi came back. What could be better than having Donald and Goofy to play alongside? *Happy Disney-love sigh* But the symbolism of the heart was a little much to stomach in all the speeches that Sora makes ("my heart has all my friends, etc etc etc!") but hey, it's Disney. And Riku sounds so cool when Ansem is inside him (ooh-err), and he says "Surrender to the darkness... become darkness itself!"
[/End Spoiler]
Anyway, to cope with my coursework, I might quit work. -_- Shame, because then I'll lack cash, but on the other hand I don't want to fail my subjects and then lack a job for the rest of my life. It's all for the greater good to quit... >_<
... I've run out of things to say, although I'm sure I have more to write, dammit. So, on a final note...
It's my personal duty to embarrass my friends. Scott dreamt he was a Power Ranger the other day, which he told me just five minutes ago. And I have this picture. ^_^; Later, all!

You are Perverted!
Which Stereotypical CLAMP emotion are you?
brought to you by Quizilla
... I so KNEW that already. ^^
Bwum-de-bwum. I came here to write something. Ahh, yes...
I have spent much of my time contemplating things too much recently. I always do this when I get depressed over something trivial. In this case, it was college work and that my Graphics book has gone missing.
I'm now scared, but happy. Does that make sense? 5 years ago I could see ahead the path I was supposed to walk upon, but now the path has ended, and I don't know where to go. My mother's leash still tugs at me backwards, and I want to break free; but how can I pull unless I know I'm going in the right direction? I don't want to offend her by persuing independance. Is it so wrong to want to leave the house and not have an interrogation as to where I'm going, who with, how long will I be, what will I be doing, will there be any adults? -_- Sometimes, I wish I could be like my friends, who can wander off until 4am and not be missed. It's not that I'd *do* that, I just want the *right* to. Because I deserve it, I think. I'm a legal adult in one and a half years. I need to go out and make my own mistakes.
Urrrgh. You can tell I'm stressed. I haven't written in my own diary for almost a month - I'm too tired in the evening to sit and unravel my thoughts and fears anymore. I hate feeling tired all the time. It's bugging me. I've taken multivitamins now but it's not helping. ;_;
... *is tired*. I shall play Icewind Dale 2 now.

~ ... PAIN ~
Oh no, it's a rant! It's a PMS rant! Run! Hide!
I am currently being moody about my period. WHY?! WHY THE FEMALE RACE?! I am in such pain... ;___;
My insides are being clawed out, dammit! I think there should be relief centres, where women can go on one-week relaxation holidays once a month, where the temptation to kill anything male in the vicinity can be quashed.
Yes, now that I am satisfied I have scared and scarred people, I leave on a final note: to those lucky not to have to go through the hideous pain, sex education LIES! Half a cup of blood over the duration? What a load of crap! What size is their frigging cup?!
... I am going to return to my suffering, and hope I don't snap at anyone this week. Urrrrrgh... the pain...

Oh, ok, I only did it for fun, but still. I expected a six.
... I'm going to eat some roast parsnips and listen to Tatu - All The Things She Said. I really like that song. And the coca-cola song! I found a 3-minute version of it! *sings* do-do-do-do-do, always coca-cola!

~ And now, for your viewing pleasure... ~
... various pictures that will either bring happiness and peace, or will result in years of therapy. Ah well, what's life without a risk.
Spayley and I, after deciding to go into a passport photograph booth to pull silly faces. Scary! Colour flecks are to be blamed on my dodgy monitor upstairs.
Spayley poses, just so Scott isn't felt left out in the embarrassment stakes.
Me wearing my hat - I promised to put up this eventually.
Um. Yes. I tried to draw a Snake and Otacon smutpic. The file name speaks all. I really, really suck at drawing.
With this off my chest, I shall now watch sweet Gravitation episode 10, which has just finished downloading. YES! Add one more to the slowly building collection of downloads...!

~ Mood swing processing... ~
I know I'm usually really happy n' all, but recently I'e felt pissed off with just about everything. -.-
I dunno. I've kept my usual, "happy happy" appearence up more-or-less, but I'm starting to build up to a point where I want to dissect something piece by piece. I am just feeling so... ARGH! at everything.
Firstly, I am still behind in everything. It's gonna take a miracle for me to catch up, and many many days offline. This makes me sad. I don't leave the house as it as anymore, especially seeing as I work weekends - I never get to go out and do things, and of course, my mother doesn't like her darling baby out after dark.
Secondly, I am stressed in general. I keep feeling tired. All the time. I can't seem to make myself go to bed early either. Last night, I tried to go to bed at 9:30. Ended up going at 11:00 instead - and STILL didn't get any homework done. I wanna write my fics too, but I don't even get any time for fun! Where is my time actually going?
Thirdly, I'm going through a teenage Hormone Hell episode. Besides the general nature hormone overwork, I keep feeling confined. I feel trapped inside four walls. I want my own space, and I want to skip college and get right onto work, making my way to the top, proving that I can do something to make a difference. I want to prove myself, but the way I'm doing at college, I just feel like a fail.
Finally, the newspapers are pissing me off. My town has the navy base. It's been all over national news. The huge war-ships that have been in dock as long as I can remember have left... I'm sure I mentioned it before... but it's unsettling. I'm certain in today's world that things can be settled with peace.
So, I am going to get back to work, and try and lock away this anger and stress. I don't like to express those things, and I certainly don't tell people my problems if I can help it. I like to be happy! Want to be happy! So, with a part of my feelings in print, maybe I can get through today without killing anyone. ^^;
Might go to Scott's tonight to do my Design homework. Am so behind. Need hugs! I wanna talk to people online, but I can't for quite sometime now. Me sorry! ;_;

~ Exams, Interrogations and Jealousy~
Oh the madness!
I had my exam Tuesday. It went... bad. -_- I always finish exams waaaay within the time limit, so I counted up how many questions I definately got right, and it only made up 25% of the total marks... usually my average is about 40% correct. This is not good.
In the evening, I had my news interview :D Yes, I shall be in the Evening News newspaper sometime within a fortnight. This will be amusing, especially as from what I gathered from the interviewer's notes, she'd made an awful lot of presumptions... she made me sound like some teen "trendy and hip" townie kid! I find that thought offensive to my geeky-freaky nature.
I'm going to a party Saturday, it's the OfficeWorld works thing. It's a 1920s gangster theme Murder Mystery. Fancy dress optional, but of course how can I resist the chance to make an arse of myself?
I'm going to make my apologies here to several people. I don't know if people have been offended by me last week, but I have had the most horrible hormonal anger. I scared myself. I was being uncharacteristically bitchy. So... I'm sorry everyone. -.-
I'm feeling much better now though. Scott noticed I wasn't smiling much last week. Bless. So I'm going back to my normal over-happy self now (oh no!).
Uhm, what else is going on? Oh yeah! One of the fellow YFU finalists is making me jealous beyond jealous. Guess where he's found out he's going in Japan? TOKYO. 10 months in TOKYO - my dream city - and his host mother is an ENGLISH LECTURER. Guess he won't be playing charades for the first few months like the rest of us!!! I am so green with envy.
... I am still behind in everything. Hm. Should do something about that really. But first: I need hugs. So I'll just wait 'til this lesson starts and my babes comes in. ^.^
Completely unrelated train of thought: I just listened to the MGS: 2 opening theme again after not hearing it for ages. Damn. I forget how awe-inspiring that piece really is... I'm inspired to finish my fics. :D

Big News! ^__^
Well, the bad stuff first. College is giving me hell for taking 4 days off at the end of last term. I am behind in sooo much stuff, worse than before. O_O;; This means: no online time for me. I shall be good, and follow a strict working routine. YUCK.
On the plus note, I completely ignored the above last night and got working on a MGSlash update. It's pooling together pretty well! I'm worried I'm missing a few fanartists e-mail addresses, though. I'll have to research. Gotta convert Word documents to HTML, which I do manually, because Word's HTML conversion is awful. >_<
I'm also now head of the Atomic Goose website (Atomic Goose is the college newspaper for those who don't know). So I'm gonna be doing that too. I'm going to find out about a seperate server and whether the college will sponsor this or not. Hmm... can we say this will be an extension for MGSlash too? I daresay yes, if they don't keep tabs on what I do. Then I could laugh in the face of my 5MB max upload limit.
I'm going to re-do this diary theme soon too, I promise myself. Must be done. *sigh* I'm all caught up in the Web.
I've put myself game to Xel's fic challenge (MetalGearSlash ML). I'm going to write something really weird, but I'm not entirely sure about what writing style would work best. I might have to read a humorous book to get me in the right frame of mind for some inspiration first. Oh, and I'm using the "hemp rope" quote to work around. >;D
Other random silly thing: My little sister tries to name her dolls from pure imagination, but Mum and I had to calmly explain, between fits of laughter, that she could not name her doll she got for Christmas "Pissy".
That's my life more-or-less up-to-date. Computing lesson in 15 mins. And I have an exam next week! Noooooooooooooo!

Happy New Year to all!
It seems a bit late to edit my last entry, so I'll continue here. ^^
Well, Mum "tidied" my room. By this, it means, on the surface, it looks tidy. The reality of it is, my room is rearranged, as to make my life horribly difficult to find anything, and then I quake and quiver and wonder if she read my diary/found my fics/seen the poster hidden on the inside wall.
[Edit] My Mum almost caught me typing this last night *ack*! But anyway, a few quicksome notes:
Am writing a fic for Xel-chan, but I'm pretty sure others might want to see it (or not). It's just a strange little smutfic with Snake, Otacon, and Raiden in a tangly, sweaty heap.
I've also decided what I'm gonna do with my diary theme. I want it to be a bit more me-ish. Anyone seen my new HAT buddy icon on AIM? That is my HAT. And I wear it. It's so waaaaarm! And pink and fuzzy!
... I'll put a pic of me wearing it up here at some point to prove it's not two gay raccoons.
Must fly - ficlet to finish, OfficeWorld uniform to be ironed, and general stuff. Toodley!

~ Auld Lang Syne ~
So much to say, so little time! And I'm not kidding.
Well, seeing as I haven't updated for ages, it's time for a long, long explanation of what I've been up to.
I love work! Quite a lot. That 10% staff discount may be low, but it's for a shop that sells STATIONARY and COMPUTERY stuff. *__* I now have the funkiest CD cabinet ever.
Okay, Present Opening Day! Well, it was quite hectic really, 'cos I went up to my Dads for Christmas on the 22nd... we went to see Two Towers! It was SO GOOD!!! And I didn't think I'd get to see it until atfer New Year. Yeaaaaah!
Tabs and Ells kept killing each other while I was there, as normal. But Christmas Day I got cool stuff. Note this cool stuff:
* AD&D rulebook
* Forgotten Realms campaign setting book
* MGS: 2 Artbook (WOW!)
* Video capture card (^____^)
* New soundcard (my old one is... old)
* New TV and VCR (yay!)
* 2 new jumpers (which I needed)
* Lots of choccy
I got minor things too, like the One Ring replica hanging around my neck at the moment. (Put on the ring, Charshy...)
I can't remember specific idiocies occuring over Christmas, but they'll come back to me. Oh yeah, I got a funky hat! It is the COOLEST hat! I have been told it looks like, "two gay raccoons squatting on my head", but it is A COOL HAT! I will upload a picture ASAP.
Yesterday, I went to Spayley's and watched American Beauty, I think it was called. I found it incredibly crap. Then I got Spayley to go look for gay porn on her TV Internet, now THAT was really funny!!! I ended up getting her on the tips for slash writers site. ^-^ She was well-traumatised.
Scott is being a darling. I now have a video of him using nunchaku ^^ ... trouble is, it's exactly 5MB and my maximum upload size is... 5MB. So I can't show you him strutting his funky spinning weapon. XD
... Sorry for sexual innuendo. Blame Spayley, she brings out the worst in me. Oh yes, just for some embarrassment factor, I have concluded that Spayley and Gemma have something going on between them. They have now snogged girls twice XD
Dammit, it's all Xel's and Deanna's fault. They've made me start using the "XD" smilie. Arrrgh!
I'm also bitten by the writing bug again at long last. But I don't want to do a lemon right now, so Chibi J's VxR ficcy is gonna be in 2003 (argh!), so I'm gonna do my weird "psychokinetic" fic with Snake being possessed by Mantis... I also got an idea to sew into the storyline, trouble is, I think Synth is using it. I shall ask her whether she's still going to write it, because really it seems too irresistible a plotline to waste.
I must get back to room tidying, and see if Xel-chan's back online... I was away and missed messages, then AIM did a playing-dead act on me. T_T
Must go tidy my bedroom now (yes, there's MORE story to tell). Will edit. Bye!

Had disturbingly intriguing conversation with Scott. Nowt else to say. ^^ ... Not telling what it was about though!

~ Cold ~
It is so, so so cold over here it's unreal. I now sleep at night with a jumper on, two duvets, a insulating blanket, my dressing gown, and socks. I wear two jumpers in daytime and for all the good it does I might as well be naked. And still it does not snow. T_T
It's times like this that make me hate living on an island. Salt air stops all chance of snow; it makes a real biting wind that just makes you freeze faster. Argh. I love winter, but this just sucks.
I have something else to say, but I gotta go.
... Edit: -.-
Mum and Lee are arguing on the 'phone. Blargh. 'Tis my fault, supposedly. He's an idiot. >_<
To make the point I never made earlier, something really WEIRD is going on. Okay. My local football (soccer) team, which is renowned for being the crappiest team ever, has done really well this season. I mean, scarily, voodoo-magic style well. People have suddenly snapped up season tickets for the matches, and loads of kits have been sold. Fair-weather fans, that sort of thing. But the impossible has happened.
Man. United, the most famous football team in this whole country, whose players constitute most of the England football team in the World Cup, who have David Beckham in the team, are PLAYING MY LOCAL TEAM.
It was so impossible I didn't believe it until I heard it on television. The thing is, I am almost certain our team will get smashed (I'm not a fair-weather fan; I know the local team is crap and I don't care!), but if we should draw the match even, then this means Man. United WILL PLAY AT OUR LOCAL STADIUM. The council will get paid a staggering sum of money to host it; there will be guaranteed riots and the roads will be completely congested with traffic, and guess what? My house is round the corner from the football stadium. O_O;;
... And should we win... I expect to see the same kind of riots there were here that there were when England beat Argentina at the World Cup. Chaos.
I'm not a huge football fan, but even I can't ignore this event. Hey Destra, you reading this!? ^______^
... I am so recording the match. 4th January, 12:30. :D
... I should go back to my homework now. Ta ta!

~ Thankyou ~
I've been thinking recently, in a good sense.
It just struck me yesterday how my life is getting pretty much the way I wanted it for years.
For years, the large majority of my friends were online. Now, the strange thing is, I am myself. I'm not being anyone else, trying to conform to a school society; I am me. And the odd thing is - I'm now semi-popular. People like me. For who I am.
And it was all I ever really asked for. It feels so strange to have friends who like me for being the crazy sugar-high geek-freak that I am. And all of them accept my yaoi fangirlness as well (I failed quite miserably at hiding my desktop wallpaper).
Now I have a job, and I feel I don't quite fit in yet - but then, everyone round me is about 20, and I'm 16. The only reason they work there is 'cos they're at my town's University - they come from all over the country - so naturally there's very little we have in common. But they've been patient with me when I manage to do stupid things on the tills, and can't find a code for a certain product. It's nice. It's acceptance.
So, I think it's time to thank a few people.
Thankyou, Cathy, Kathy, Mark, Matt, Shona, Sally, and Mary. Thank for being my friends at college. Also a quick thanks to Ric for FINALLY putting Shona out of her misery and dating her - yay! I might puke a lot at you being so snuggly all the time but it's kawaii really.
Thankyou, Spayley, Julie, and Gemma. The posse has gone its seperate ways, but it was fun while it lasted. Special thanks to Spayley for being just around the corner and scaring me once in a while ;D
Thankyou, Andy, Michaela, Charlie and Craig. Thanks for being my D of E intructors and telling me to pursue my dreams. You're really great people.
Thankyou, Scott, for being a lovely guy (sitting on my left currently). I will find you a good Christmas present! Love you lots.
And finally, thanks to my netfriends... you're always willing to talk to me, even when I'm being strange or writing with appalling grammar at odd times of the morning, or collapsing over my keyboard at 9pm.
... I gotta go back to lesson now. Love you all! Love to the world! etc. ^^;

Bwum! There's a load of stuff I must write. But no time to do it in. Will edit this later.
//... The Edit!//
Okay, I've forgotten most of that stuff I wanted to say, so I'll skip to today [Saturday]. It'll come back to me eventually.
This morning, I got a Christmas card - first of the year - from Chibi J. OHMYGOD. I love it!!! It's just so CUTE! It's got Vamp wrapping up Raiden in stickytape!!! It has Snake with a stickytape bandanna!!!
I need to talk to dat girl soon. We have something to arrange involving the Lord of The Rings premiere and London and screaming at Orlando Bloom. And persuading my Mum that skipping college that day won't hurt. Too much. ^^;;
I forgot how amazingly addictive Max Payne is. Arrrrrrrgh! I gotta beat Jack Lupino all over again now. I'm currently still going Gognitti in. Stupid man. He's so easily gunned down. But I can't play now, I gotta go bed, for WORK TOMORROW!
Work today went good. Luke is really camp. I so have to record his voice and upload it here. I keep trying not to snigger when he talks. Served a couple of gay men. Also had a photocopy request from a woman with a 10-page list of different vibrators, the names of which had me in fits (wonder if it was Xel-chan? ^_~ )all in all, pretty good. I'm okay at working the tills and stuff too. It's all a matter of learning curves now. *prays*
Got lots of homework to do again; not gonna do it now: too late. Need sleep for tomorrow. Start at 10:30am and go onto 4:00pm, not too bad. I'm gonna miss Sunday dinner though. *sob sob*
OfficeWorld plays Christmas songs on repeat all day with its adverts. An hour-long tape, all day, every day, all season. Holy crap. The Oasis cover of a Christmas song is shit. But I still love Band Aid! *sings* "FEEEEEEED THE WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORLD!"
I never get tired of that one. ^^;;
Bargh. Got more to write, but got people online to talk to. J is online! Scott is online! Woo! Bai.

~ Odds and ends ~
Today, I shall write those things I keep meaning to write and never do. As of late, sleep is getting to be very difficult for me, and I am constantly tired. Too tired to even write in Rheen, and he's special. As a result, I'm feeling a little stressed. Nothing serious, but still, I want to get my life off my chest.
I had a nice time with Dad at the weekend. We didn't go to Debs (I was a little dissapointed) but we went and did a little Christmas shopping and things. And we had nice FOOD all weekend. The Tesco store out of town is HUUUUUUUGE (as huge as shops ever get near me anyway), and it had its own cafe, and their all-day breakfast is so CHEAP!!! It was £2.49 for me to have a full English breakfast and the best cup of hot chocolate I have ever had. MMmm. That was good hot chocolate. Sweet, a little creamy, dark, and milky-warm.
Nanoo made her famous Sunday lunch the next day. One has not eaten real food until you try one of her roast dinners. I can't cook, but I will strive to be like my Nanoo one day and make gravy as thick, savoury, and dark as hers. Yum!
As for this week, Scott has been nice and said he'll copy me all the MGS and MGS: 2 footage onto some CDs I'm gonna give him, so then I can get cracking on my AMV. Hehe, he had his Award Presentation evening yesterday (like my one) but he got out of doing his speech - darn! But I had my spies go to take photographs of him in the suit. WOO! GO CATHY! She was excellent. Can't wait to see what those come out like. ^_^;;
Coursework and crud all starts soon. Exams after Christmas. Arrrgh. Life gets all complicated. The year is seeming to fly by me - I love college so much, and school just crawled its way to the end of term. And the scary thing is, I only just realised that when I reach the end of term, there's no turning back. I'll be going to Japan after the summer holidays.
... Wow. I'm now quite terrified. tonight, I'm going to go through the 'phone book and see if I can find any Japanese classes. Otherwise, I'm doomed.
Lesson's begun now. Apologies for the long random rant. Thanks for reading/listening, the 3 people who have admitted reading this!

~ XXXmas ~
It's December. Holy crap - I only just began my Christmas shopping yesterday. O_O; I am so doomed. College has made me pay out a fortune to do work and stuff (I still owe them £35) so I don't know how I am going to afford pressies for people this year. >___< Scott needs a nice big pressie too 'cos he got me one, and now my Dad is living with his girlfriend and her kids, that's an extra 3 people to buy for - and can I say his girlfriend is really rich and successful and she buys me stuff from shops I've not been allowed in on the pure principle I look too poor to buy stuff from them? How can I compete??? Waaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
I've been trying to write the fic I promised Xel in this computer room, but unfortunately Dave has been READING IT ALOUD. T.T So I'm trying to write it on the sly. I'm still gonna try and write the lemon though, just to see the horror etched on his face. He's such an idiot! And he's behind me and I can say that. ^__^
Lee is mad as usual. BWAHAHA. Ha. ha ha ha. I need a hug. *goes to squidge Scott* c ya later!
