Aug. 16th, 2004 02:31 pmA great time was had at the beach last night. Picked the in-laws up and headed to the coast where we played in the sand until going home later. We stayed out late after dropping the in-laws off again, later than I've been out recently that's for sure *g* One low spot was when we were coming home with the in-laws. The bridge to get over the river was closed off, we didn't know why at the time but suspected it was a jumper as the Wear bridge attracts a load of people doing that. So we dropped them off and James being James wanted to know what was going on. He's incredibly nosy, when there was a bomb found last year he went to watch it being detonated despite it being in the early hours of the morning and being allowed nowhere near the explosion site. Anyway, we drove down to the riverside under the bridge and it was full of cars, so many people sitting watching this guy hanging over the side of the bridge. There were even people there with binoculars and I just wanted to ask them what kind of sick freaks they were. I told James he was a sick freak too btw, especially when he said he would have probably stayed if Corey and I wasn't in the car. I mean, why would anyone want to see someone plummet into the river? I hope the guy didn't jump and he gets the help he so obviously needs.
I may have awakened my E-Bay addiction this morning. I've kept away for months due to the money thing, but man, I could hear the swag calling when I came online this morning. Really I could. Little marionettes whispering Terri, buy us, you know you want to . Hey, if Jessa can talk to 2D Justin I can listen to swag ;) The little things make me so happy, stickers, magnets, glittery pens. Which is why my desk looks like it belongs to a pre teen as it's surrounded by sdb and MX swag. I'm telling you, give me a day and I'll have ten bids on the go and be cursing when I'm outbid.
I was debating about pulling out of the soap opera challenge yesterday but changed my mind. As it stands I have two challenges left to do so if I get this soap opera one done I'm in the clear for the other. An excuse to write semi-bad fic has to be good, which is what I do every time but shush *g* No, I really need to get a start on that, the same way I need to answer the 7368264902 mails in my in-box because I suck.
After my whine about not watching anything on tv at the moment I have to say I forgot about Sic Feet Under, a wonderful show that broke me last night :( I'm also downloading Stargate Atlantis so I can see what the fuss is about. I'll be nice to understand
I'll end on a question. Bulletin Boards. Why are 90% of people that post on them bloody idiots? I also don't mean the board that you're probably thinking of, I keep away from that one. One day I'll learn to just read my own flist, that way I won't want to put my fist through the monitor on a regular basis.

Date: 2004-08-17 06:21 am (UTC)Damn, that S4 premiere does sound like a tear jerker - then again, it's 6FU at its finest. I'm sure the scene with Nate screaming and crying is going to make cry along with him, damn... that had to be a powerful scene.
Also, keep me posted on David and Keith - I'd like to know what is up with those guys.
Will you ever be able to watch Atlantis, I wonder? lol That being said, I still haven't watched 38 Minutes myself even though the CD has been awaiting me for ages now *shakes head* Are we next week, yet? *g*
