I learned something today.   Something that made me quite happy.  Kev's had issues with his family (mainly his mum and step-dad) and so the feeling I had been getting was that they didn't like me.  I'm not sure what his sister thinks of me or my relationship with him, but I am curious (my great downfall, that).  He asked me if I wanted to know ( Read more... )

After the castle, we headed down to the BB Range.  Something all the boys were excited to do. Johnathan was among the last to shoot so he entertained himself by getting good an dirty.  >_<  But once he had that BB gun in hand he did take things a bit more seriously.  At first he took his time to take aim (as I had told both him and Isaiah that they ( Read more... )

Fear for me.  I fear for me.  I was at soccer camp with Alex all week long, but while there, I swear every bug in the park came to find me.  They tried to eat me alive even though I tried to protect myself with insect repellent.  So now that I leave for camp later in the morning, I fear for my life as I'll be in a wooded area inhabited with even ( Read more... )

Kev left Friday about 1500 BST to go to London for several days.  He was originally just going to an Anime con, but as a bonus he got to go to an early screening of Transformers which is due to be released this Friday all across Europe.  On Friday he got his Transformers comic (which is only available in the UK it seems) and he bought the ( Read more... )

The past 2 days have been hard and the next two more so.  Kev's been out of town, visiting his sister in Leicester.  I miss him terribly.  Yesterday was his birthday and I didn't get to spend any time with him.  Well, I did get to speak to him for a bit on the phone.  But really, it wasn't enough.  I swear I'm an addict.  I need to spend time with ( Read more... )

Ah, this has been a rough day.  I woke to find a message from Kev stating that his present still had yet to arrive and it was looking more and more like it wouldn't be there in time for his birthday on Saturday.  Tomorrow is a postal strike so it's highly doubtful that he'd receive it then.  And as he'll be out of town for the weekend, he'll not ( Read more... )

The last 24 have been rather tiresome.  When Kev woke this morning, I made the mistake of asking him if he'd seen the new sig I had made for AnimeForum.  He said, "not yet" and then he ran off to have a look.  I say mistake cos he apparently did more than just look at my sig.  He looked through my reps and discovered one that was from a thread I ( Read more... )

It was awful.  As I was shutting down the comp this evening I reached in to the cabinet to fetch my flash drive  and felt something crawling on my thumb. Instinctively, I shook it off ( and it just so happened, onto the sofa).
After turning on the light, I hunted the evil critter down and using the plastic bag that the newspaper came in, I picked ( Read more... )

I've been feeling quite wistful all afternoon.  I'm not entirely sure why, just that I've been reading a new trilogy that takes place in Wales...the heart of many wonderful legends.  This last book has brought up a legend that  plays at the edge of my memory.  While the names seem quite familar, I cannot quite recall the legends behind them.  I ( Read more... )
