Moving soon! *bounce bounce bounce* signed on the tenancy for a small three bedroom house today, we get the keys on the 14th! ^____^
of course that means we have to spend money on a washing machine and a hoover. those are the only two things we REALLY need first off. good thing I have some emergancy money saved up. Good thing we had a week booked off at that time too. of course that was booked off for Neil's dad's birthday... but I'm sure he won't mind that much.
Now's the time for those backdated wedding pressies too *grin* Oooh hurrah that should be fun... |

Yup... Been a bad dragon this past week... I haven't finished the comic page I was working on by the time I wanted to... *sigh* I guess thats what a back log is for... I just can't get the rocks to work for me at the moment... the base colour is done but the background is eluding me... sitting in the corner pulling funny faces at me.
Bastard background.
Apart from that I've been having training for work again... two days full of stuff I already know... mainly about identifying negative body language... but it was only two half days... and I got paid as if I was at work the whole day, so I can't complain too much.
I also got some more yarn the other day... gonna make myself a new scarf. The one I have just dosen't cut it for snow. I found THAT out the hard way >_ |

Then the paint program starts buggering around.. buh... all this trouble ... buh buh buh >_< but its done now... only a week late...

I've been a bad bad dragon this week... I've done practically nothing on the comic... page 9 is only 12% done... if that... just some rough sketches of the page layout, and thats not even complete... Now you see why there is a 7 page backlog
ok... I'm gonna get back to it now...
Oh... and Keenspace is working... if sporadically... almost working... kinda.... |

Yes yes yes... Neil and I went for the Welcome/Induction thingy for our new jobs this afternoon... not as nerve wracking as I thought it would be. Starting the training on wednesday (rather than monday) because of the strikes that the union is having on monday and tuesday... though we still get paid for monday, which is nice.
For the past 2 weeks I've been having sleepless nights... I think part of it IS worry over the new job... I don't know what the other part is... but right now, I'm almost too exhausted to type. If I wasn't going over this several times to catch my typos, it would most likely be un-readable... Though I'm sure my jibberish would amuse you all... sods... |

Neil got a new keyboard... *eyes it dubiously* its alot like a laptop keyboard... a little too much for my liking... all the keys are flat and the buttons are in the wrong places...
One of the major problems with the last one, the fact that it hangs over the side of the desk, is actually worst with this one... *sigh*... not to mention all the keys are flat and uncomfortalbe... I guess it wouldn't be so bad if it didn't hang over the desk and if I didn't have to perch on the side of the bed to use it... buh... |

Keenspace is working again! :D Hurrah *dances* the comic (http://tsbf.keenspace.com) updated without a hitch... even if it is a few days late... so much hurrahing and dancing all round.
In other news... I think that the british reporting system is crap (well most countries reporting is crap).
People are complaining because its been called Nottingham airport, even though its nowhere near nottingham... smart move by the PR people in the first place really...
With all the fuss over the renaming of said airport... the airport that lies between Derby, Leicester and Nottingham, BBC decided that they would report, in relation to this story, about which area had the greenest grass... oh what breath-takingly spectacular reporting... What a way to take things seriously. I really couldn't give a damn what they call the airport... but the least they could do is NOT patronise all those that dissagree with how the damn thing has been named. |

Every day I seem to be reminded as to why I don't like people... as a whole they are ugly, vindictive, petty, irritating... the list goes on... I do realise that its usually a very vocal minority that gives off these... oh so wonderful traits... but that they go out of their way to touch other people lives just to give them a little of the pain and misery they have in their hearts. Its worse when they can't consciously see what they're doing to those around them... Most days I'm glad I don't have an "End Of The World" button close at hand.
But most days, I'm reminded that there are ... decent people about... That not everyone wants to be mean and nasty to themselves and those around them... Some want to change... and some manage it...
It all balances out eventually
Humans are odd... I'm glad I'm not one

This is also... very accurate
Your wings are DRAGON wings. Massive and covered in scales, they shimmer with strength and magic. They are the most obvious display of your power - though it runs equally throughout your heart and mind. You are uncompromising and grave, with a profound sense of justice. You have firm ideas about what is right and what is wrong and set out to fix what problems you can. You realize that you are more capable of dealing with life and evil than most, and as such you see it as your responsibility to protect those who cannot defend themselves. You have existed since antiquity and as such you are wise far beyond your years in this lifetime. While you strive for fairness and peace, if someone should steal from your cave of treasure (though not all that glitters is gold) or compromise the happiness of you or one who is close to you - they have signed their death warrant. You have a mighty vengeance and will unleash it upon such people immediately and mercilessly. Arguing with you is useless...you rarely back down and are known for holding firm in your beliefs. Sometimes you feel intensely burdened with the troubles of others...acting as a Guardian can get so wearisome. But you never give up...you see it as your life's mission. Often very introverted, you can be so smart...it's scary. Such a combination of intelligence, creativity, power, beauty, and magic is often intimidating to those around you - who are also unlikely to understand you. Arrogant, proud, overserious, and sometimes a bit greedy or obsessed with whatever treasure you choose to pursue...you have enchanted people for centuries, and will continue to do so.

I have apple pie and custard... I also finished FF-X2 and got the crappy normal ending on 94%!!! >_< Sods... aah well... I'll just have to play it though again... and again... and again @_@
Page 8 status = 0% physical, 20% brain goo. Now I just need to squeeze it all into the computer...
Oh yes... little suprise for Forestcat >:)
did I mention I have custard?
I also managed my first guest comic for the cute li'l anti-christ daiji! http://clad.keenspace.com/

So much happened today... slowly... but so much...
Keen is still dead... whether or not The Silver Birch Forest is on the dead server or not is yet to be seen... The site loads, but whether it updates ... we shall see.

Cats that don't want to get stepped on should not be sleeping on the stairs.

I went to a funeral today... for a woman that I'd never met, but she is a part of Neil's family... I really wish that I had met her... but its too late to think of things like that now. Her funeral was... a disgrace really... Relatives that hadn't spoken to her in 25 years, who showed to respect or love to her while she was alive hovering like starving vultures because she didn't have a will. An impersonal eulogy delivered by a clergyman that had never met her... that sounded like a game show speil... The whole thing was really just... repulsive.
Of course it probably didn't help that I despise churches... and the type of people that were there... I spent most of the short 'ceremony' reading the fire and brimstone hymns in the silly little hymn book... it was really the only thing that stopped me laughing out loud and leaving in disgust... I don't think that would have gone down too well on the members of Neil's family that I was meeting for the first time...
-------------------
I had to watch a friend walk willingly back into... a baited bear trap... *sigh* Its something that he had to do... An answer... or an ending that he has to find on his own. I'll miss him while he's gone... trying to find his answers... He's become as close to me as a brother.
I hope he comes back... I hope he comes back in one piece. |
