Dec. 14th, 2006 09:32 pmMy shoulders are all kinds of scrunched up. The right one in particular is aching like crazy, especially where it meets my neck. This is what happens when you sit writing for hours on end. If I sue the popslash fandom do you think I'd be awarded Chris as compensation? No? Oh well, it was worth a try.
It was storming like crazy yesterday, taking Corey to karate we were nearly blown into the road, which was both scary and cool at the same time, because man, that wind had power behind it. Sadly, it must have taken BT's lines down or something because my net was off for hours. Which in a way didn't matter as I've had my browser off while writing, but still, I like to have no access on my own terms you know?
I got two lovely cards today. One from
yami_tai and a fabulous trickc card from
musiclover03 which contained pics. Awesome pictures. Sims trickc and my favourite trickc and Chris pictures ever! And if you don't know what they are. Shame on you! Thank you both so much. *mwah*
I actually sent my own cards today. I was informed by the counter person that I'd missed the last posting dates for everywhere but the UK. Which I knew anyway, because I suck with things like that. However, they should arrive between Christmas and new year, and it's the thought that counts right?
Mam gave me £55 yesterday and told me to buy myself books with it. I have glee, seriously. I love buying books but sadly just don't have enough money to do it often. Every year I tell my family that I'd be happy with books for Christmas, but I never get them because only Corey and I actually read in my immediate family. In all the time I've known him, James has never read a book, which is kind of sad I think. But, this year he's getting me the Dresden Files I still need , plus the new Merry Gentry, and now I have this money from mam. I'm going to be in book heaven. I'm not going to use it all on books though, a trip to Lush will happen too, because there's nothing better than soaking in the bath with a good book and a wonderful smelling bathbomb, especially one that glitters!
Talking of which. That's where I'm going now, get the kinks out of my shoulders.
Oh man, James needs to take something for his work's secret santa. He's already bought something but was asking if we had anything else. I keep trying to sell him on the idea of the wodka in our cupboard. It hasn't even been opened, I'm sure she'll love it. Plus, it'll get rid of it, I've never fancied trying something called wodka *g*

Date: 2006-12-15 12:27 am (UTC)And yay for books! I love reading too, but don't usually have time to sit and pick up a good book. If I do have time, it's usually spent writing, which I hate because I like and believe what Stephen King said "If you don't have time to read, you don't have time to write" meaning you should educate yourself with different authors, styles, etc before writing your own piece....but anywho...

Mind you if you get Chris as a prize it'd be worth it (though I have no idea what he'd be like as a masseuse and anything else would just get me more... um... tense *g*)

Date: 2006-12-15 07:39 am (UTC)With school and everything I imagine it would be difficult to find time to get lost in a book. I believe what Stephen King is saying too, but at the same time, you have to balance that against actually going out and getting writing practice, which is what you're doing.

Date: 2006-12-15 07:42 am (UTC)Dude! You'd have to arms of an amazing Mr Tickle kind to help unscrunch! *g*
I like to think Chris would have good massaging hands. I think they'd fit on my shoulders nicely. Okay, even thinking about it makes me want to flail, so maybe it wouldn't be that relaxing after all ;)
