turpsA lesson to you all. If someone *cough/James/cough* says here have a drink of this, and passes a bottle of bright blue vodka stuff over, don't drink it all. Yes, it may taste like pop, but it's not. As I found out last night. I was drinking as I surfed and tried to answer a comment, looked at the preview and man, Corey could have done it better. I sent one to Babycakes and I'd missed letters out all over *g*
We may be getting a new computer, not sure yet. One with a DVD burner and faster processor. I've just been to the shop salivating over a new one with a flat plasma screen. It's a lot of money but we might just be able to swing it. I'll then give Blue to Kayleigh for her 18th birthday. Sorting this out I was embarrassed when I realised that I'd been thinking Kayleigh was 16 and she's not. You'd think I'd know how old my own sister is. I was just telling Babycakes that Kay's 16 and she's weeks away from being 18 eep!
James has also been to get fitted for his tux this morning,
Next weekend the company James works for is having a black and white ball. The men have to wear tux's and the women ballgowns. Partners aren't allowed so I can't go. He's going to Birmingham over night and I'm fine with that. I'm looking forward to seeing him all dressed up. It's just...he's going with a group of work mates, including a few women. James and I have a very relaxed relationship in terms of lusting after other people. Since we met it's been look but don't touch. He doesn't care that I'm a fangirl and I just laugh at his obsession with Angelina Jolie. Our relationship is rock solid, I know for a fact that he loves me, and vice versa. I call the women he's friends with his girlfriends and joke about it. So I was surprised when I had a total jealous moment. He was saying how he needed to know what colour one of the women's dresses would be so he could buy a corsage to match, and I just went green. I didn't say anything, because it seems like I'm moving the goalposts. Getting jealous over something so innocent and something that's never bothered me before. So yeah, that's me one one hand loving how he's so excited about going and on the other wanting to tell him to shut up about it already
Received one of my betas back on my popslash and it's got some terrible faults in it. I can see them when they're pointed out and totally agree with what was said. I'm just glad I'm at a point where I can take crit, before I may have wailed about it. Now all I want to do is pull up my sleeves, hack out the bad bits and sort it out. I think it'll be a much better story once that's done. In fact I know it will. I'm just glad I've someone willing to point the negative things out. Because I don't believe that anyone can ever have the perfect story the first draft. In the case of this one probably 75% will have to be changed, but that's okay. I can work with that, I'm just glad I didn't post as it was.

You're more than welcome to look it over if you want to make some general comments. But I wouldn't do a detailed beta as it needs a heck of a lot of revision and you'd be wasting your time and I don't want that.
