Where is my mind?

29 November 2009 @ 12:00 pm

Why does doing the right thing seem so wrong?

I'm feeling a lot better after my miserable Friday. I'll spare you the mind numbing details, but things have kind of been resolved on the "men suck" front and basically I'm either a complete idiotic psycho or I enjoy letting myself be treated like a doormat. Neither one sounds very appealing, but so far I've learned that in the land of men, man never does anything wrong! Did you hear that? That's all the females of the world groaning simultaneously. I've taken the high road (or is that the low road) and apologised for my crazy female outbursts and I guess I have to give things another chance, cause I'm useless at this dating lark and this is as good as it gets for me! But why do I feel like I've just been given the booby prize? *slaps self* Stop that Anita! I really should be showing a bit more enthusiasm shouldn't I? I've got to stop watching these TV programmes where Mr nice guy makes the girl feel special. Reality bites! Oh well, we'll just have to see how this second round goes.

I did have a great Saturday though, which made up for the suckiness. They had a couple of guys sculpting a miniature sized polar bear out of ice, outside the building where I work, which they'll later replicate on a larger scale at Trafalgar square, so I met up with some friends and we went and did some ice sculpting, which was pretty cool! (Ha, no pun intended) They actually let us chip away at it (the bottom half only of course) and I have to admit it was extremely therapeutic! Not that I was imagaining anyone's head or anything! I've got pics if you dare take a peek! Oh and if you can't see them then let me know, I get easily confused with my scrapbook settings and I remember last time no one could see them at all!

MEN SUCK!

......that's all I really have to say about that!

I hope every one's doing okay and has a great weekend! *hugs filst*

I was planning on doing something productive today, like writing up some reviews, but I never got around to it. Maybe tomorrow.

Maybe tomorrow seems to be my new catch phrase.

I did attempt to do some Christmas shopping though and when I say attempt, I mean It's like the opening scenes of saving private Ryan out there! We're not even in december yet! Didn't get anything though, but I did end up treating myself with a cute hello kitty sweat top from H&M. I could literally just buy everything in that store I love it so much! Hopefully next time I'll actually buy gifts for someone else.

I had the impulse to try and get fit again which resulted in me wiping the dust off my wii fit and then get mocked by it. Since when did computers learn sarcasm? I didn't actually get around to doing any exercises, unless trying to find replacement batteries is a new fitness regime.

Sorry, I'm just rambling for no reason now to try and ignore the stress headache I have, which was caused by the title of this entry. I'll just quietly hide in a dark corner of shame now and leave you all at peace.

Do I need an excuse?

This is purely a self-indulgent post for me to scream and shout about SPN, because OMG! The last episode was AWESOME SAUCE. It's taken me this long just to get over the shock and clamber back onto my LJ to write this. I am just totally in love my show right now, that I might actually propose to it tomorrow! Plus I'm already missing it loads! Damn you hellatus! (Hee, love that word) I think if the first half of this season is anything to go by then fandom will explode after seeing the second half! Well the ones who know what's good for them anyway. ;-) And yes I caved and read spoilers, although they weren't that spoilery so it's not really cheating! Honest! Oh and the teeny tiny spoiler about the 100th episode is making me go all Oooooo and Ahhhhh! Can't wait for that episode!

I still need to write up my thoughts on the past few SPN episodes, which I'll hopefully get around too soon, but it's gonna take me forever to cover the epicness of ep8 & ep10. .

( RL woes - just ignore this if you know what's good for you! )

I hope every one's doing okay and hopefully I'll get to catch up with everyone soon!

Nothing of substance today. Oh wait pics!

Hey flist! Sorry I've been so sucky with LJ lately. I know I have a whole bunch of SPN reviews to catch up on, I've not forgotten about them! I'll hopefully get around to that over the hiatus. Speaking of hiatus, I cannot wait for tonight's eppy! It looks EPIC! As for what I've been up to lately? Well not much really. I've mainly been trying to get back into my boring old work routine after my little break. Oh and I've also been spending the past few days watching non-stop Chicon vids. Those boys have been making me giggle like a fangirl for days now! Darn them!

If you're interested in what's been happening with the cute guy then all I can say is things are moving along still, but where to I have no idea! It's been a nightmare trying to meet up for the past week or so because something always keeps getting in the way, usually to do with his job. But we've managed to meet up for lunch a few times this week and fingers crossed we'll hopefully be going out for a meal on Friday night.

( small freak out - feel free to ignore )

Anyway, I promised I'd post my Toronto pics and I've finally got around to uploading them, so here they are.

( Holiday pics time! )

I left part of my brain on the other side of the world

Just a quickie to let you know I'm home now. I arrived back safely this morning. It's a weird feeling knowing that I was standing next the Niagara Falls just yesterday and now I'm lying in my bed, in cold and rainy England.
I haven't slept for nearly 48hours now, cause it was pretty useless trying to get any sleep on the torture contraptions they call seats on the plane, so I've been pretty zombieish all day. I've actually walked into things quite a bit and I've lost big chunks of time from just nodding off for what felt like minutes and was actually hours. I've been in an endless daze all day, so I haven't had a chance to check in sooner. I've only just started feeling more alert now, so I've been doing my best to catch up with everyone's entries and re-watch SPN! Friggin love this show! ♥
I'm supposed to be going to bed right now, but now the drowsiness has seemed to have warn off! Damn this jet lag!

Anyway, I'll catch up with everyone soon and I hopefully get through all your comments soon as well! Thanks for all the warm wishes whist I was away! *hugs*

Off the beaten track

Hi flist! *waves* Greetings from niagra. Just a quick post to let you all know I'm still alive. I'm at Niagra Falls at the mo, which is both beautiful and tacky! LOL I'll post more about the trip, along with pics when I get back. I'm heading back home tommorow evening and should arrive in England tuesday morning. Hopefully I'll get around to catching up with everyone soon!

Oh and I managed to catch SPN out here and OMG I freakin love this show! I cannot express how much love I have for this episode! GENIUS! I can't wait to download it and watch it again and again and again! There will be plenty of squee coming soon. ;-)

Catch you later!

I spam you not!

Sorry for spamming today! I either can't post anything at all or I go posting crazy! Anyway, I thought I'd let anyone who's actually interested know that the date with cute guy got postponed until I get back from Toronto. :-( I'm totally bummed, but we emailed each other and he was really sweet about it and everything seems to be okay. We're putting a bookmark on the page from last night and we'll start things up again when I get back, although now I'm wishing I wasn't even going! I feel really bad about the whole thing even though it was out of my hands. I just hope he'll still be interested when I do finally get back and he doesn't think I'm messing him around. Why does dating have to be so complicated?

Although truthfully I'm kinda glad, cause I'm feeling even worse now and I know I wouldn't have been able to enjoy it as much. All I want to do is lie in bed with a hot water bottle! Damn these women problems!

So anyway that's just another little chapter in my telenovela for you! Just tell me to shut up when you're sick of hearing about it!

mini me update

Just a quick post to let my flist know I'm going to be away from this Thursday until Tuesday as I'm going on yet another holiday! Yes I hate me, I know, I'm such a globe trotter! This time I'm off to Toronto for 6 days, well technically 4 cause 2 of them are flying. I'm gonna be away when new SPN is on, but hopefully I'll be able to catch it out there, cause I can't miss this weeks episode. It's gonna be awesome! Oh and I know I haven't gotten around to writing up my thoughts about the last episode, but I don't think I'll get around to it now until I get back, so we'll see if I ever do. But in short it was a sweet and funny episode and it made me love Dean and Bobby even more!

And a mini update about my day, because I hardly do enough of these and I want to start getting into the habit! I'm off from work for the next two weeks which is a relief! I've been feeling so bored with work recently, so it's nice to get a break from the place. I met up for breakfast with my Canadian friend this morning, who just happens to come from Toronto, so she was giving me tips on places to go and see.

Waking up early for that really took it out of me! I should have gone to bed earlier last night, silly me.

I've not really been feeling all that grand today actually, cause not only have I got a stupid non-cold, but it's that time of the month again. Meh!

I've got a million and one things to do to get ready for this holiday and I can't concentrate on any of them! Dammit! See I'm really nervous at the mo, cause I'm off on another date tonight! Yes another one! I've already had one, not including our first meeting on Halloween night. Yes I met a cute guy on Halloween! I can't believe I'm actually writing this, I'm in complete shock right now! I feel like I'm in an Ugly Betty episode or something and guess what? I'm ugly Betty! LOL I really like him and I think he might like me! Gah! He's only a year older then me, he goes to the gym, he plays football (or soccer for the Americans/Canadians) and he's a journalistic reporter who writes for the local newspaper. I don't mean to brag, but stuff like this doesn't happen to me very often as some of you might already know. ;-)

Anyway that's me done! I've got an hour to get ready and I have nothing to wear! Crap!

I just want to wish my flist a happy Halloween. Whether you go out and celebrate it or not I hope you all have a ghoulish one! :D I'll be dressing up as Halloween girl this year, which basically means I don't have a costume and I'm just wearing black! LOL

And just for fun...

I've been wanting to post this all month, but I was good and waited until the actual day. ;-)

5.06 The children are our future

Gosh, I'm so late with this that it's hardly worth it, but I've not missed an episode yet and I'm not about to. I only just found out a couple of days ago that there was no new episode this week so that killed my SPN buzz! What am I supposed to do this Friday now? And I can't believe were on ep6 already! I hate how fast this season is going, especially as this so easily could be our last. *tries not to go crazy thinking about it*

Oh I've decided to include some pics in my review this week, cause there was too much goofiness to resist!

5.04 The End - Thoughts and nonsense ramblings

Why does it take me so bloody long to get these written down? I wish I had more time to let my thoughts settle after each episode, because I’m not cut out for all this! Anyway here we go with another week’s instalment of my crazy mind! And yes it’s another long one!

Just when I thought it couldn’t get any better, Ben Endlund shows up with the big guns! I just want to marry that mans brain! He’s never made a single episode that I have not loved and adored and this one sits proudly at the top of the trophy cabinet, glowing in pride! So anyway on with the ever growing ramblings!

HOLY FRAK!!!!

As you might be able to tell, I watched 5.04 on my lunch break and my only coherent words for that episode right now are EPIC WOW! I'm even gonna dare call it the best SPN episode EVER!

I can't concentrate on fuck all right now, which sucks cause I'm supposed to be working. All I want to do is run home and watch it again and again and...well you get the gist. I'm like a balloon full of squee just waiting to explode! All I want to do right now is jump up and down whilst squealing my head off! *breaths all zen like*

Expect a long rambly post about this episode soon!

Confessions of a bored fangirl

Hi flist *waves* I thought I'd post a little catch up cause I've been so crappy with LJ lately.

So first off if you haven't already noticed I changed my layout and profile! I did it on a complete whim cause I just fancied a change. I'm still adapting to it, but hopefully I'll keep this one for a while until the next whim comes along.

Dragon boss is back at work and I've been doing my best impression of someone who gives a crap about anything she has to say. Really though it's not been too bad, although it's only been a day so odds are a bad day will crop up soon. I'm basically just surviving at the mo. Autumn's here, the nights are drawing in and the weather's turned much colder, which kinda puts a downer on things. As much as I love Autumn, I do hate leaving work in the dark. It makes it feel like you're losing entire days to the boredom and grind of the working world. *le sigh* One day I'll get out of this slump!

Other then that SPN has been turning my brain to mush and stopping me from functioning properly, but what's new there?

Oh I did see the first episode of flash forward on Monday! Great show! My jaw was scrapping along the floor for the most part! Amazing special effects and enough interesting riddles to keep me wanting more! It's nice to finally have a great show I can watch on TV for once.

I also watched Lars and the real girl yesterday with Ryan Gosling. Such a cute movie! I wasn't sure if I'd like it or not, but I just feel in love with it after the first few minutes. So heartwarming and an all round feel good movie. It had me welling up, although I seem to cry at pretty much all films and TV lately, whether happy or sad. I'm such a sap! Plus Ryan Gosling is just amazing! I've totally fallen in love with that guy, he's the missing link in Hollywood!

Oh and True blood's starting next Wednesday and I'm insanely excited about finally seeing it! The promos look awesome!

Here's a meme that I promised

areth_lovejoy I'd post and seeing as I keep forgetting to do the last meme I promised to post, I'll try and keep my promise this time. I also forgot her birthday the other day as well. So sorry hon, I hope you had a great day!

If you don't want to answer all the questions, feel free to skip some.

1. If you're on my friends list, I want to know 35 things about you. I don't care if we never talk, or if we already know everything about each other. Short and sweet is fine.

2. Comment here with your answers and re post the questionnaire on your own journal.
( I want to know your secrets )

Over and out!

5.03 Free to be you and me - thoughts and nonsense ramblings

I'm totally taking the piss with this one, but I just couldn't stop writing about it! Thankfully I managed to slap my hands away from the keyboard to actually post it. My ramblings about the episodes are getting longer and longer! I dread to think how long next week’s will be! Anyway, Floved this episode! Seriously, each episode so far has been a gem inside a larger gem of awesomeness! And finally we got some major humour as well as a laughing and smiling Dean having some fun and not only that Castiel actually smiled too! Those two make an incredible team! Of course we had this contrasted with some major Sam angst, who was completely shutting himself off from the world. It was heartbreaking and yet a really odd contrast. Anyway I guess I better get on with my ramblings, which are beyond the normal amount of waffle and nonsense so be very scared people!

Oh and I know I'm behind on everyone else's thoughts, I was purposefully avoiding them until I got my own down so I didn't subconsciously steal other peoples ideas, so I'm sorry for that. I'll start catching up with everyone elses asap!

5.02 Good God y'all! ramblings

So I finally got around to finishing off my thoughts about the episode. I've been writing this on and off all weekend so it's kinda grown and grown and grown into one mother load of musings, gushing and rambley nonsense. I've had to force myself to stop writing anymore so I apologise for the length! Don't say I didn't warn you! I've neglected everyone's journals the past few days, cause I suck, so I'll start catching up with those asap! Sorry!

This season is turning out to be EPIC and if the first two episodes are anything to go by, then the finale will blow our socks off! O_O I'm so giddily excited for this season! I can't wait!

Anyway on with the ramblings, should ye dare to go forth.

You all deserve a cookie!

Hi flist! *waves*

I'm a bit behind on everything today. I never went online at all yesterday, shock horror! I met up with a friend who I hadn't seen in a long time after work yesterday and we stayed out all night catching up, which I'm suffering for real bad right now! *shakes head* Kids, don't ever drink on an empty stomach. No scratch that, just don't drink period! There's a lot of things that I haven't got around to posting yet, but I'll probably spend the weekend doing that.

Anyway the main reason for this post is to thank everyone for all the support that I received after my last entry. I never expected the reaction I got, not only from my flist, but from those who stumbled upon it as well. You're all just amazing and wonderful people and I love that my flist is made up of the awesome parts of fandom and we're all breathing the same air!
I mainly wrote that entry for myself, cause I was so pissed off about that wank invading my journal and my urge to rant just exploded. I feel a bit bad that I thrusted it at you guys, cause it wasn't aimed at you and you're all amazing and get it anyway, but thank you, thank you, thank you! You are everything that's pretty and beautiful in the world, including Jensen Ackles and Jared Padelecki! :D

Oh and a quick hello and welcome to my new friend

applepie_x0. *waves*

I'm working my way through all your comments and entries at the mo, so hopefully I'll be caught up with everyone soon.

Happy SPN Day!

Divided we fall

I felt obliged to write about the crazy explosion of wank and mayhem that's happening in SPN fandom at the mo, mainly because it arrived on my doorstep yesterday and totally caught me off guard. Now I'm not taking any sides and I'm not bashing or knocking any characters or fans here, particularly the Samgirl who posted comments on my last journal entry. I have no quibble with you; this is just my reaction to fandom and their reactions to the show as a whole. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I don't appreciate fans forcing there's onto me and basically angling for a fight. I'm all up for mature discussions and debates, but not when the other side completely disregards what actually happens on the show for their interpretations.

( Wank or not to wank? That is the question! )
