The party was fine, we mostly sat outside and gorged on barbequed chicken. And asparagus. And some sort of raspberry spinach salad. And big fluffy rolls. And yummy steamed veggies. And cheesecake and shortcake and strawberries with whipped cream. No tennis. No strenuous activity of any kind. Aside from getting up after dinner. Hooray. I took some pictures and a video with my new phone, which is now playing Karma Police and resting on my headboard. How freaking awesome is that? Pictures are in a photobucket folder, here: Blam! Now it's playing Katrina and the Waves. I love my phone. Off to check the f-list.

Gotsa new mobile. It's cooool. It's got a camera and an mp3 player. It's purdy. Mom got her and me ones for my birthday (XD), her's is black and mine's white: ( purdy ) If anyone wants the number, you can have it; just ask. Feeling okay today. Managing to reign in the coughing. I'm listening to Manfred Mann. ON MY PHONE. It's so cool. I'm a dweeb. No more turn of the century pay-as-you-go for me! And even if I do feel a bit tied down with the contract, I've never minded a bit of light bondage.

Drunk Post!
Jäger bombs! Oi. Anyway. Ever done something you knew you would regret later and then wound up not regretting it? I HAVEN'T! Hahaha! No drunken confessions this time. It worked so well last time. Except for not. Anyway. Requests: I'm lookin' for goooood Supernatural fic recs, 'cause mmmmm. Dean is hot. I made an SPN icon, I just can't find it to upload. Upload just split off into two wordss and did a fancy figure-eight thingy. I really have to pee, but I already took all my clothes off in a fit of drunken abandonment. Should I brave the house naked? No. I'll wear a sheet. That's perfectly acceptable behavior, no? Sheet togas. Toga. Hee. Toga. Dean is hot. Also, I am naked. Does that count as a drunken confession? Everytime I sleep naked a bunch of guys come to trim the trees next door and my curtains wind up pulled back. Oh well. I'll be wearing a sheet. I really have to pee.

Hi there
The ride over to the coast was by bus. The driver was Father Time’s crotchety bastard granddad, and he couldn’t drive. Seriously, he was hitting cones like he’d get a prize later and kept braking hard enough to slide me off the seat. And did I mention he was a bastard? Most jerk-faced old man ever. Bit of a perv, as well, which was so many kinds of wrong I may have gagged a bit. And then I got laughed at by the girl sitting across from me, ‘cause she’d been through it before. Auntie & Uncle picked me up at the station. They’ve got a new car. A Nissan something or other, one of those baby SUV thingies that pretends to have good fuel consumption. It’s nice enough. Smells like dog, though. ‘Cause they’ve got a dog. Calli, the toy poodle. Meanest bitch this side of the Mississippi. Auntie & Uncle watch Little House on the Prairie a lot. And Walker: Texas Ranger. So I’ve said ‘this side of the Mississippi’ more than once this past week. I am not proud. Walked on the beach a whole lot. I don’t tan. I think the sun hates me. Took some pictures, before my camera died completely. It was a slow, painful death. I thought I’d brought it back after I took it apart, unscrewing the tiny screws with one of those little thingies that stab corncobs at the ends. I cleaned it out and put it back together, and it tried, it really did. But it failed. I felt like I lost a friend. But A&U took me to Chumach, the nearest casino (I’m not turning into a gambling fiend, I promise) and I won about a hundred dollars, so I’ve started a camera fund. I won sixty bucks on a penny machine. Do you know how long it takes for those penny machines to ding sixty bucks up? Forever. The drive to the casino is... god it’s beautiful. The hills go on forever, just, I don’t know... folding in on each other like they’re bowing to the valleys. And the oaks. The valley oaks, they’re beautiful. Ancient, and so gnarled and twisted the branches rest on the ground. Everything’s so green. Except for the flowers. Where the wild mustard grows it looks like someone twirled a huge paintbrush across the earth, spilling yellow everywhere. The landscape just rolls with yellow, and sometimes it’s purple or blue and every once in a while there’s a whole hill with nothing but white flowers and it looks like the sweetest icicle snow ever. I wish you coulda seen it. I don’t much care for this place, sometimes, but it can be breathtaking. Hilarious, too, ‘cause right in the middle of impossibly green, tree-filled pastures where cows have worn criss-crossed staircase paths in the side of all the hills, there’s a giant brass dinosaur, and a fenced-in llama ranch on the hill next door. I love the coast. Got a whole bunch of sand down my pants, though. Very much not somewhere sand should go. Pictures, now, have all the silly random pictures I took before the camera died, with bonus pointless commentary. ( tiddlyum pum tiddlyum pum pum ) So, um... I’m back.

memes and pictures and jury duty woes.
Meme from ( song!meme ) And, um, I rolled around in grass and took pictures today, safely enclosed in my allergy-med bubble. It didn't work that well. My eyes have been drooooopy all day. ( 14 pictures. ) Soooo... Woke up at a reasonable hour today, due to Jury duty duty. Sat on uncomfortable bench for half-an-hour, got up, had my juror badge scanned, went back to sit down, tripped over lady that wouldn't move, fell in front of fifty other people, using my ass to scoot a huge wooden bench about nine inches, leaving just enough space for me to slide miserably to the floor. My bum hurts. Slid quietly back onto the bench. Sat there for another hour, in which I giggled myself silly over a spiffy Roy Orbison in Clingfilm novel, started slashing the bailiff with one of the lawyers, and expounded upon the greatness of taco salad to a lady who didn't speak english. Then, just as I was gonna start slashing the judge with her court reporter she announced that the witnesses for the trial had failed to show, and we were set free. I tripped again, on the way out. Slashable Bailiff kept me from sprawling all over my stupid face. I very nearly sneezed my thanks on his arm. But I had a hanky, and whipped it out in a pathetically dorkish manner just in time. Sometimes I fail. Oh well, happy sunny day!

Right, so, hi. I'm not dead. Yet. Very hectic days. I don't know where I'll be tomorrow. Hopefully I'll have time to actually look at my friends-list later tonight. and talk to people. Sorry for being all neglectful and stuff. I built a shed today. I felt oddly Jamesian, and even did tool outlines. Also, I had to walk 16 miles and my legs, they are on fire still. Sort of the dullest adventures ever, but still awesome, because they're better than sitting on my fat ass and doing nothing all day. Have done nothing artistic in days. Miss it, very much. Shit. I have to go again. I HOPE YOU'RE ALL WELL AND SWELL. Buhbye nao mmkay. |

Fucking fuck the fuck off, already.
You look great. You look fantastic. You look beautiful. I DON'T WANT TO LOOK THEM YOU BASTARD. How come no one ever says 'you are beautiful'? 'Cause, really, when they say 'you look beautiful', I just feel like screaming and crying, because I know I don't, and even if I did, it doesn't matter. You can look beautiful and be ugly, and you can not look beautiful but still be it, you know? It'd be nice to be it. I want somebody to think I'm beautiful. And don't say 'oh you are, sweetheart'[cocky much? presumably I assume]. Just don't. That'll make me feel like shit. You don't have to, it's not your job to make the boohoo teenage twatbag feel better about herself; become at one with her own identity. I am becoming one with my own identity, and at best I'm quirky, at the other end I'm a boohoo teenage twatbag with an identity crisis and ugly dark heart bits clanking around inside. I'm not even really that sad, at the moment. I'm just fed up with people thinking 'you look beautiful' is the best compliment ever, when it makes me feel so useless. Bed time, now, where I can dream of rainbow things and being pretty. I hope everyone has a good day today. Or night tonight. Whenever it is wherever you are. ♥

I done a J/J scribble. ( read moar ) And, in the spirit of poetry month, I drudged up my old amazingly bad emo poems and looked at them. ( Oh my gosh, the lulz, they burn. Like sin. =D )
Wind blows sideways through the trees, ~*~ How 'bout them apples?

I feel like James is a sort of person who quietly tumbles over onto himself inside his head, different opinions, insecurities, and regular toughts piling on top of each other and mushing into one another, while he's standing still on the outside until he figures out how best to proceed. Actually, I probably feel like I'm that way, and that I want James to be sort of like me so that I can project and not feel guilty, and also so I don't feel alone and weird.
But sometimes I do wish I had his regimented, organised mind because that would make my life as a columnist so much easier. Take Richard Littlejohn, for example. Present him with a news story and you know exactly what he's going to make of it. And it was the same story with the late Auberon Waugh. When you read in his autobiography that he was three when he learned to hate the working classes, you know what his take's going to be on everything from the French riots to Big Brother. James is the same. James likes his beer to be brown and his house to be beige. I therefore know what James will think of a new car long before he actually drives it. Poncy, usually. And I know he'll continue to call it poncy until the day he dies. I'm rubbish at this. I change my mind six or seven times before I get out of bed. |

I smell like coriander. Or is it cilantro? Cilantro's the leaves, right? Anyway. I made salsa. I had to go to the store at 2ish in the morning to get the... cilantro. Coriander. And scalions and cute little colordy peppers and a lime. I'm gonna make Ma an omlette when she gets up, but she's on the Atkins diet so it's coming with salsa instead of toast. . I had to stay up to make sure I was up before her. . Anyway. 'S good salsa. . I cleaned out the fridge. At about 3 in the morning. Sister tells me this is tweaker behavior. I pointed out that she was talking on her phone and painting her toenails. She stuck her tongue out at me. . I figured out how to capture little snippets of vids, and I uploaded a few with my spanking new Youtube account. They are muy pokito, but one is quite interesting, I must say. . . . ( the vids, they are here ) . . . So. . There you have it. |

Oh my goodness, people, it's a Willow secret. How fantastic is that? AAAAAnywho, look! And, um. I had other things to say, about real life. Like I was trying to do a column for the newspaper, a short little filler opinion piece thing, and I sounded way too much like Jeremy Clarkson for my liking. There was even mention of polar bears. But also riding a volcano to work, so... I don't know what that means. And I need to find a real job so I can get insurance. I can look at two things at once. I didn't know that. Happy b-day Other things! There were other things! I've forgotten them all. And I have to go pick Ma up from work. No, wait. Do I? I'll call her. I don't know why I just assumed you cared. =D What rhymes with assumption besides gumption? |

The looooong post of hastily made icons
is looooong. They are Top Gear-related. I made others, that were not, but I've misplaced them. ( Formatting eludes me. Well, not really. But I evade it, because I cannot be bothered. ) Yay hooray! Free to take, as always, and most of them are barely base-worthy anyway, so you can mess around with them as you see fit, no credit needed. I'm tired. And sore. I think I broke my finger climbing through Jade's window. I also think I'd be the worst ninja ever. Are interesting things happening anywhere? Did Earth Day work? Will I wake up in the morning? Or the afternoon? Will my writer's block go away? I know not! I go beds now. I'm sorry I haven't been talking to you all very much. My internet's going in and out. I've been tired for days. Maybe it's the springtime. Spring hates me. Goodnight ♥ |

Dreamz
MY AWESOME DREAM: Okay. First off, have you heard the song Danger! High Voltage! ? 'Cause if you haven't you should, it's hilarious. Although the vid is quite creepy. It's basically the guy from Electric 6 (the ones that do Gay Bar) and Jack White (of the White Stripes and the Raconteurs) saying 'Don't you wanna know why we keep starting fires?' 'It's my desire' and other hilariously pyrocentric goodness. Where was I? Oh yes. Well, in my dream, Jeremy and Richard were singing this to each other. Jez had Jack White's part (the part the lady mouths in the vid) and Richard had the other guy's part. Jezza had his afro from way back when, and they were skating around a rink on retro roller skates with a giant mirror ball overhead (which may have also been the Boosh Moon, I'm not sure). So they were singing to each other and doing a (quite impressive) skating routine, and everytime they touched, sparks would go up and something trivial (caravans and tiny green hemp-clothed environmentalists and the like) would catch on fire, but the flames never lasted long. Then, all of a sudden, half the disco ball moon fell away and James unfolded from within. It was lowered down with him sitting in it, like a big swing, and Jez and Richard were struck dumb with his beauty. He had a flowerdy head wreath, and a pink and purple tie-dye shirt on with bellbottoms. Then he started to sing 'Your Song' ala John Barrowman or Ewan McGregor, a proper belter. It was glorious. Richard and Jeremy immediately fell in love with him. Then he got all the way to the rink, and they skated together, and James did this 'leap of faith' thing, and Richard and Jeremy caught him, and it was magnificent, and as they skated away from the rink it went down in flames and they were holding hands. It was all kinds of awesome. And then it sort of morphed into the scary Sean Connery dream of doom, and I tried to forget that part. ♥ |

Bye
WHY HELLO THERE! I'm off for a couple days. I'm travelling to the magical world of casinos in the hope that I'll make enough money never to have to work Gambling is bad, kids, so don't ever do it unless you're using your rich Auntie and Uncle's money, and it was their idea. Also, I found Peter's Friends on DVD. This makes me happy. I say also too often. I just know it. Have fun and don't forget the strike. It starts at midnight GMT, so that's five pm here, not that I have any other friends in my timezone or anything, and goes on for twenty-four hours. So. There you go. I'm off, wish me luck. ♥ |

Pimhole.
The origins of Fusker, perhaps. Also, Stephen Fry being called Mister Clarkson. The last time I watched this I wasn't yet obsessed with Top Gear. My how time flies. Link |
