Not been sleeping so very well at the moment so I'll keep this short before I catch an early night.

1. Due to Zombieland, I'm buying a box of Twinkies so a friend who's never been to America can try one. No idea how much they'll be as I'm muggy on postage, but if you want some, left me know and you can throw coiny shrapnel at me and I'll throw yellow cream filled logs at you.

2. Planning on going to see Sherlock Holmes sometime after it's out (boxing day if I can find a cinema) anybody fancy it?

3. Oh I'm attending Circe De Lune the Steampunk LRP next year. If anybody fancies it, let me know

4. Oh, Merry Christmas by the way.

Okay I managed to stay away from Facebook for nearly 4 days. I'm still not going to do a great deal on it, but I wanted to check my inbox and once I'd done that, it seemed only fair to see what new pictures had been put up, Ignore a few friend requests. Make sarcastic comments on people's statuses and suddenly an hour had vanished.

But anyway, less Facebook from now on.

Okay Day Two of the being healthier vague plan and it seems to be working quite well.  No coffee since yesterday and despite having a bit of a headache, all is well. No chocolate is a bit of an issue. It wants me to eat it.  It told me so. Completely failed to do any exercise yesterday, bad Mikey, no biscuit!

Right then, just as a plan.  No more chocolate, no more coffee, making food to take for lunch to work, No take-aways, now I can breath, more exercise.

That's the vague plan.

1. Really enjoying Katy’s Changeling game, she’s a damn fine GM
2. I have failed over the last month to do anything creative that I can show people; this is because I have been too busy.
3. I am now going out with Maxine (no, not that one) things are going well
4. Watched a lot of Cinema recently – thinking of getting a Cineworld pass. Enjoyed Cloudy with a chance of meatballs the most, but Surrogates was good too.
5. Went to Gareth and Ninfa’s not a wedding but damn close.  It was lovely, folks turned out rather well.
6. It’s Happy’s birthday tomorrow. We’re off for cocktails.

I’m sure other things have happened.  I rarely have a minute to myself at the moment. I long for silence.

Dutifully I've kept the 3rd of October free. However I've only until recently been certain the specifics of what I was keeping it free for (I knew the general idea, but specifics - nope no siree)

So for those people going to Gareth and Ninfa's wedding who have space in the car to and from the venue I would be very interesting in procuring transport and/or somewhere to crash.

There! I've said it!

Inspired by the recent post by oxfordgirl, if you meet round at my house at approximately 2pm this Sunday, we'll go to Queen's Park and do some larp weapons practice. Just melee weapons if you would, ranged weapons encourage the boys in blue to hold machine guns and insist that we do not to move,

Bring Waterbottles and jumpers for goalposts.

Quick post. Feeling much better now. Medicated to hell now.  Can breathe, back to feeling immortal.

However, due to sim card death, no longer than ANY phone numbers.  None at all.  You know the drill, let me know your numbers if you would be inclined and be so kind.

Nothing happened at Gareth's Stag do. Well, we drank tea and played bridge. 

I think Chris Parr had a Macaroon.

In other news, I've developed a large grouping of small circular welt bruises rather like I'd been hit with many small high velocity projectiles. I have no idea where this rash has come from but I'm guessing I may be allergic to the coconut creams.

I fell asleep at work about 20 minutes ago.  I'm still asleep now. I'm jsut hoping nobody notices. Hey, how's this for touch typing? I'm not even conscious!

Aren't RedBull like drinks supposed to wake you up?  I'm now just as tired but now I'm jittery and paranoid.

Um, yay.

I’m getting less and less time to post on LJ nowadays. I suppose there’s no rest for the wicked and all that.  Thankfully our internal computer system went down earlier so it gives me a bit of free time to do some typing.

As you might imagine, it’s been really busy of late. Going backwards from now, last night I had the pleasure of Mr Salkin’s company. He came over and I forced him (rather cruelly I thought) to watch Flight of the Living Dead (an excellent present from Mr Lyzniak) in between clichés he knocked up a holster for Hope (one of my Nerf Guns).  I must get me a leather working kit – it seems remarkably simple to make things of relative beauty. Anyway, it was lovely to see Graham and it has made me want to run another game at my house. So I’m thinking about that.

Tuesday myself, Happy, Abbie and Rob went to see Tim Minchin. Funniest thing I’ve seen in a long, long, long time, I heartily recommend it. His songs are brilliant, but you don’t realise that he standup is just as polished….  It had me in tears.

Oh and although I’ve vaguely talked about the party here already – I would be remiss in saying that I don’t miss people as a fair few of the folks there I don’t see nearly enough.

Oh… no time to continue… things are working again.

Chat soon

A Simple Meme.

Hopefully fun, but I'm making it up as I go along. May be stupid.

Very simply I want you to either insult or compliment the previous poster depending on what they have said themselves. 

If they are complimentary then you be insulting, if they are insulting, then you be complimentary. Imaginary points go to equally as imaginary insults and compliments.

First person to post gets to pick if they lay into me or butter me up.

Yes, bored - why do you ask?

So that was the Birthday weekend. A lot of it was me being a little wheezy and sadly I didn't get to do much on my birthday day as peer pressure made me drink lots of different things. Spent most of my birthday with a hangover and missed Vince's party because I felt dreadful.

Thanks to everybody who gave St. Awesome's day greetings. Lots of lovely cards and lots of lovely gifts. My brother came over on Saturday morning and brought round my Goddaughter too - so at least a few hours of saturday was the pulling of faces at an infant.

Seeing Tim Minchin tonight. Really looking forward to it.

More later I'll wager.

Annoyed. The Facilities manager just came and tried to steal our lockable cupboard. I tried to explain that although it is empty at the moment, the clear desk policy meant that tonight it would be full got me told dismissively to give her a minute. She then turned to the rest of the team and ignored me – continuing to have to the same conversation with the rest of the team.

Now I know this is just because she’s an arrogant rude bitca (I like the reference) but still – it’s right riled me.

Oh and eventually she got it into her head that she couldn’t have our fudging locked cupboard.
