Well, some things are looking up :)
My so called best friend who managed to totally forget about my birthday has promised to apologize with alcohol, so all will soon be forgiven. I got to go on my shopping trip with my Mum, despite our truly terrible track record (usually whenever my Mum and I make plans we end up having to cancel them for one disaster or another, like her partner dislocating his shoulder, or my nephew nearly breaking his finger, or my grandfather dying) and had a fab time! For all the disappointment that I suffered roaming round Spytty for no reason whatsoever, Cwmbran came to the rescue! I spent £74 and got rather a lot! 3 stunning, if slightly summery tops, a huge jumper, a stunning knitted top, 6 pairs of socks, a pair of trainer, 2 bras to go with my new tops and a pair of trousers.
And my Gran who I haven't seen in almost a year met us there too!
The only bad thing was that wednesday I had to go in to town, and it was raining, and I knew I would be on my feet all of the next day, so I had to wear my boots in to town so as I could wear my trainers on thursday. And I hate wearing boots, coz they hate me. I ended up with a blister over two inches in size right below my toes which burst thursday morning and all the skin covering it was ripped off. So walking was a no no. So I ended up walking on the outside of my foot for the entire day which of course hurt my ankle. It still hurts to walk now, and today is Sunday.
And now, the sucky news.
Major case of writers block is forming. A friend sent me the start of a fic she's writing and asked for possible titles. I couldn't think of a single thing! I can understand not being able to work on my own stuff, but how can it be so bad that a title is beyond me!? I am so very upset now :(
I haven't done anything on my own work for about a week now which is really killing me coz I was doing really really well on it not so long back.
And now, my new major obsession- Psych. Yvonne, thank you!
Talking about this over MSN with Yvonne led to her sending me a few links to screenshots (should that be two words?) and a few vids on youtube. It looked interesting, so I watched the pilot episode. I now have all 3 seasons, plus the 4 eps of season 4 that are available, and I have watched nearly all of them already! And, I have text my friends about it so much, that one of them, in a bid to shut me up, decided to watch a few clips on youtube too. I think his plan was to watch about half an hours worth of clips, then the next time I mentioned it, he could say something like "I've seen it you know, and it's not all that great."
He failed.
He is now watching the fantastic Tim Curry staring as a Simon Cowell- esque as I type this and sending me texts ranting over how hysterically funny it is to hear Shawn give Tim Curry the same 'no' that Mr. Curry uses in Clue.
We will both be watching Clue later! Lmao.
Well, that's it for news, and most of this wasn't really news which is part of the reason for me hiding it. The other part being that I like to practice using the LJ cut thingy, and the fact that I just spent the last 10 mins trying to stop it from hiding these two sentances behind the cut shows that I seriously need the practice lol
