Oh my god.

I met the most insane people ever on Sunday. XD

I went along to the anime/fur meet with Nightwind and met a lot of really random people I don't know. And a couple people I have met before. But. Oh my god. Someone dressed up as a feline Itachi. o.O Looked sort of like a black and white Bagpus though. XD And the people I do remember just have nicknames in my head. "Awesome artist Girl Who May or May Not have Been Intro'd as Jester", "Awesomefais Girl", "Emo Scarecrow Dude" and "Flamboyant Albino Wolf Guy". I wish I hadn't had to leave early though. ;-; I wanted to see Nightwind bowling in his costume. XDDDD That would have been so awesome.

Spent much of the weekend playing Dragon Age Origins too. That was fun. Except I'm stuck in Redcliffe at the part where I have to fight legions of undead. My party members are retarded though. >.> They see the fire, they run into the fire. Fire burns, they drop dead, leaving me to kill off the monsters with the NPCs. When the monsters are gone, they come back to life but because they are still in the fire they drop dead again. Rinse and repeat until some guy comes and yells "THEY'RE COMING OUT OF THE LAKE!!!!!" Then I'm overwhelmed again and have to run around with dozens of skeleton soldiers following me everywhere.

...I should have gone elsewhere first. To the dwarves or to find the Dalish elves or something. XD

fffff

My mother just told me about one of her co-workers having an accident. This happened a couple weeks ago apparently. The guy went mountain climbing in the Lake District with his friend. Something happened - one of them slipped or something - and both went tumbling down the mountain. Not too far away were another couple of climbers who had just turned back after deciding not to risk it. They saw the whole thing and were first on site. They couldn't get any reception so they had to yell to others they could see to call Mountain Rescue.

Meanwhile, one of the other climbers, being a medic-type, does what he can to see to my mom's co-worker and his friend. He can tell pretty much straight off that his friend beyond help but the co-worker, having just fallen down a mountain is trying to sit up, saying "I'm okay, I'm okay..." The medic goes over, pins him down and says "You are not moving." and in doing so, has very likely ensured that he can walk again. The co-worker was in a coma for a couple weeks after that but he's woken up now. He's got so many broken bones it's almost unbelievable but he can lift his legs and is expected to make a full recovery. Fucking lucky guy.

The second ficlet I wrote over the weekend~ RP-based too~

( Training )

Today = success!

My boyfriend may have drunk himself stupid the night before but it did not stop me from going out. <3 I was so nervous when I got there though. I didn't know anyone but then...neither did anyone else. It was fun though. Everyone was friendly and I'm looking forward to the next meeting.

Allowed to use the computer for a little today. Yay~ Been catching up with what I've been missing these last couple days.

I've got the meet-up in Newcastle tomorrow and I've forgotten to print out a cover for the fics I'm taking along. >.> I'll scribble one later. Hope I can find everyone. I've asked if there is a specific part of the station where we're meeting but no reply yet. I'll keep checking back until I go otherwise I just have a bunch of vague descriptions to go by. I am so goddamn nervous but I'm not going to skip it. I can't skip it. This is something I have to do. A personal quest or something. ffff Lookit me meing all dramatic. XD

Done some writing this weekend too. I've got a couple short fics, one being a cute, fluffy Seph/Rinoa piece and the other being set in the same scenario but more involving his kitten. >.>

I'm rewriting the first chapter of my NaNo fic too. I'm taking out or altering so much about it that I might as well just rewrite the whole thing. Otherwise it has been a fairly lazy couple of days.

...There is a lot of banging upstairs. I'm starting to get annoyed.

...I still need new icons and layout for this journal. I'll fix it later though. >.>

I am going out to Newcastle on Sunday no matter what, damn it. I will also go the following Sunday in order to meet this anime group my friend wants me to meet. I just need to inform my boyfriend of this fact.

I'm tired of not seeing anyone because he doesn't want it to cut into his time with me. He went out on Saturday and didn't come home until 3:30 in the morning. If he can do that, crawling in the door plastered in the early hours, why can't I go spend a few hours with other people during the day? Is a few friends in the same country as me too much to ask?

Well, I've had enough. So I'm going to Newcastle. I'm going to meet people and hopefully not get murdered.

I had the oddest dream earlier...

I was in my room with a shape-shifting alien who refused to settle on a single shape for more than five minutes. It was really quite irritating.

hen I woke up. My boyfriend was on the computer doing god-knows what so I got up and gave him a hug on my way to the bathroom. When I got there, I noticed that the place looked like a bomb had been dropped on it. There was debris and all sorts but since his brother has just moved back in, I figured it was all his mess and he was sorting it all out still. So I went downstairs, where his mother was watching TV. I glanced round to see what she was watching and my boyfriend walked past me to start making a cup of tea.

I froze in shock, thinking "...This isn't right. I'm dreaming and I need to wake up right now. I've slept far too long!"

I even pinched myself to make sure. No pain at all. So I tarted trying to will myself awake but it didn't work. I gave up for a little while and wandered back around the house until I found a tub of white putty stuff. Unable to help myself, I poked and prodded it but it stuck to my hands and then began burning. A little panicked, I rushed to the sink to wash it off, which was easier than I expected. Just as I was beginning to relax from that, I woke up for real, about ten minutes before my alarm went off.

Regarding RL stuff~ My boyfriend is out right now. He said he wouldn't be gone too late but it is after 1am already. He's off to Leeds next week too. I'm not going, I don't think. I might go shopping in Newcastle instead if I can. I need some new manga.

My iPod finally started syncing at about 2am last night.

...

*dead*

I was so tired but I didn't want to stop it so I left the computer on with a few notes taped to it for my mother's benefit. She didn't wake me before she left so I guess all is good.

Man, I am addicted to Nintendogs so very much. XD I swear, my puppy acts just like his namesake! If I ever go silent on AIM, assume I am playing with him. >_> Although... when I wash him, he starts sparkling. ...

And now for a meme~
( Meme-tastic~ )

Oh, I am getting really fucking pissed off now. My iPod cable is damaged or something so I have to spend hours carefully nudging it into position so the computer can recognise that it is connected but it never stays connected for more than a second or two. On top of this, said iPod has crashed and is totally fucking useless to me.

So now I need to buy a new cable and until I can, there is fuck all I can do with my iPod. Unless I steal my boyfriend's cable. >.>

Oh. And I might be going to Leeds to stand in the corner of a party and feel awkward. What fun that will be.

*facepalm*

I'm just going to go crawl in a hole and cry now.

Back at home now~ And so very thankful for that. I ot barely any sleep last night because my boyfriend went into one of his strange moods. :/ So I'm really tired today, as well as grouchy and headachey. I think an early night is in order. For this reason, I'm waiting until tomorrow before I do any tagging at all. I have been plotting over the weekend though and in a fit of boredom yesterday, started writing a random FFVII fic that, if continued, is probably going to end up Seph/Zack/Cloud. >.>

I have my list of things to do tomorrow though~

- Tag
- Finishing touches to the table/ad for Ragnarok
- Fanmixes~ I have fanmixes for Zack, Cloud, Vincent and Sephiroth although I'm thinking I may need a couple more tracks for each of those... Well, some more than others... Zack's is pretty much complete though, I think.

But now I'm gonna go take it easy...  Just gonna finish sorting out my iPod and then head up to my room for the rest of the night with the PS2, PSP, DS and my music. <3

Sneaking on my boyfriend's computer while he sleeps through the snooker he insisted I wake him up for. I did try, really I did so I can't be blamed. XD

Been busy plotting over this weekend too. >.> But now I'm bored.

So... I'm in a pretty crappy non-productive mood today. I have things to do and just.. no energy and a headache. I'm not signed in to AIM because I'm sure I will be crappy company and I'm thinking of heading to bed soon anyway. Or I might go beat up some monsters in...whatever game is closest first.

But I need to sort out the table first and why won't the border show up and why oh why can I not get any kind of decent graphics program to work on my computer? The best I have is Paint of all things. My brother did put... something on the computer though... Corel Graphics Suite or something... He says it's good. Except that it doesn't actually open. :/

...I think I need a new layout for my journal.

I have never really liked iPods. I resisted getting one for the longest time but now I have one, I'm wondering why I waited so long. Alright, so I don't like the design - don't really know why, it just...bugs me - and I have this thing about deliberately trying not to fit in to a crowd - I never wanted to be just 'another pair of white headphones in the crowd' - but... it's so much simpler to use than any of my other mp3 players have been. Plus, there is a certain joy that comes with legally downloading music with iTunes. Hey, why not? All the work that goes into making music I enjoy, I should give something back, right? I've only bought a couple tracks so far - trying not to go overboard while I still owe £179.99 but I should be able to get that paid off on Wednesday anyway. <3

And now I'm just waiting for everything to sync up. I need to rename it though... My boyfriend synced it with his computer originally and named it one of my more embarrassing nicknames so I need to change it. >.> Though whatever name I put on it, it will always be 'Sephiroth' in my head. It's sleek and silver, plus useful and stuff. >.> So it is now Sephiroth. My Nintendo DS is Genesis, since it is red. <3

I finished 358/2 Days a couple days ago. I felt a bit sad at the end. I felt so sorry for poor Xion... I didn't expect to like her at all but she just sort of grew on me.

And now it's raining again so much that I can barely hear my music over it. Most of the snow is gone now. I woke up yesterday and pretty much all of it had melted in the night and there is less of it now. It was nice while it lasted, except for when I fell over in it. My feet slipped out from under me one the way to the bus stop and when I put my hands out to catch myself, the shock when straight up my arm to my shoulder. My wrist hasn't felt quite right since and this was right after Christmas. My shoulder hurt a little at first but seems healed up now. My elbow also hurt for a few days but not any more. It's just my wrist giving me trouble and then usually only if I exert some force on it, like when I hit my boyfriend. :P It's fine when I type though, thankfully. <3

Gonna go have a nice, relaxing bath now. I feel the need to pamper myself a bit. ^_^

Still at my boyfriend's house. Feeling a bit stressed and things. I feel all out of place here. I've stayed too long but I can't leave unfil Monday. Assuming I can, that is. There is a lot of snow out there though I haven't heard of anyone being snowed in. Proper winter at least, though! Usually, I don't see snow and frost until Spring, after the frogs have mated.

The news is, of course, full of obvious things like "It's snowing. It will keep snowing until it stops. It is slippy outside. People get hurt when they fall over because it is slippy."

-_-

Nearly finished KH 358/2 Days now. I really should get on with it but honestly... playing around my boyfriend really ruins the experience. He always always starts talking in the middle of a cut scene, asks me to do something in the middle of a boss battle, interupts during time trials... >.< I'm going to start a new game when I go home, only better because I'll know what I'm doing.

Anyway, he's playing pool upstairs now so I can use his computer. I could use this time to RP but I really don't feel like it right now.

Not having much fun lately. I want to go home.

Got my new DS though so I've been playing Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. I've spent most of the time shouting insults at Roxas though. I know he has no memories but sometimes he seems to be taking the 'dumb blond' thing a bit too far. >.> Also shouting insults at the characters in Mission Mode. Are there no really good characters to use? >.> Or maybe I just suck?

Liking Xion more than I thought I would. Actually quite tempted to RP her somewhere but I'll wait a while first, see if the muse sticks. Really want to get back to RPing but I have things to sort out first. Got £180 to pay off from when y boyfriend mucked up paying for his rowing machine. I've got more than half already though so I should be able to pay off the whole thing on Wednesday.

...There's a note on my boyfriend's desk telling him 'Do Note Kill SANDER COHEN' Who is Sander Cohen..?  /random

Well~ Christmas has come and gone and honestly went a lot better than I expected. I managed to head of my gran from her trip upstairs since she was coming to find me. That meant no room inspection. :D

Spent much time just hanging around, talking to people. My aunt stayed longer than expected, which is good ebcause she missed out for the last two years due to health problems. The food was good - my mother really outdid herself this year and my brother wasn't annoying at all.

Presents so far (apparently I have a pile waiting at my boyfriend's house from his family):

Pretty black handbag - will likely never see use but it is pretty nevertheless
Devil May Cry DVD set - omfgsopretty *_* I'm so glad I got my mother into anime now. XD
A new watch - is very pretty and sparkly~
Lizard brooch - I never seem to wear brooches since mostly they seem... old-lady-ish but this one is nice and simple enough that I feel I could wear it often.
Money - about £60 total and will likely go towards buying a Nintendo DS. <3

So all in all, not a bad day. After my gran and aunt left, me and my mother sat down to watch DMC together but by the end of the first disc, I was having trouble staying awake. ^^; Might watch the last two later.

But despite that, I was still up until a bit after midnight playing FF12. I guess I just needed something that would make me think more than staying at the screen does. XD But I'm pretty much through the Nam-Yensa Sandsea now. I was going to go mark-hunting but I'm too weak to go for the lowest ranked mark available at the moment. I can either train up and defeat it or I can get on with the storyline... >.> The FAQ I found reccomends being about level 30 and I'm about level 22-23... I'mma just go play the storyline...

Christmas Eve and I'm sat in front of the computer still. You know I'm gonna be here tomorrow much as I can too, right? Nobody will be on but I will still be here, wishing the computer was in another room so I could escape the family. I love them to pieces but I kknow how tomorrow is going to go already.

My gran will come over and inspect the house for mess. She will always, always find a small speck of dust and complain that we haven't kept the house tidy. We haven't but that's besides the point. We've spent the last week cleaning the house and preparing for Christmas.

My aunt will come over too and complain about her various problems that wouldn't be such problems if she took her medication. :/

There may be phonecalls from various other people to wish us merry christmas etc. We will stuff outselves silly. I shall be called anti-social and questioned on the plot of my novel and just want to be left alone for the rest of eternity. D:

But~ That said, I'm still in a good mood.

And what have a learned?

Wine = nice, happy Sabby
mojitos = moody, miserable Sabby (especially if I drop my glass)

Guess what I'm drinking now? Begins with a W.

Now then~ I intend to tag before Christmas actually get here so...
