[Blog #315] --- Content --- [Friday] - Christmas Shopping!
I went to nana's this morning - she'd said I could borrow a pair of grandad's longjohns for tomorrow's filming. Then I'd said I'd go into town with her to do some Christmas shopping with her. Mam dropped me off and nana made me some toast for breakfast while I played on my DS to deter myself away from the boredom that morning television always, without fail - brings.
We got the Leven Valley bus - from the epic bus stop three meters from her doorstep - at half 11 and got into town for around 11:45. Nana seemed to be getting lots of gift vouchers - we were all over the place, from River Island to Game and back again. Seriously, if I ever looked out of place - I look out of place in TopShop. Just imagine me standing in TopShop, wearing my anarchy blazer, black jeans with the big fuck off chain, black and red Converse - and to top it all, I was waiting for nana by the PETITE racks. Seriously lmao, what an outlier.
When we were in Game, I showed nana the Brutal Legend adverts they had up on the screens - she suggested that I ask Ian and Lisa to get me it for Christmas. That's not a bad idea nana. :)
I also noticed the strategy guides... Hmmm... Should I be obsessive and go for the 100% with a guide? I only buy guides for epic RPGs and games I REALLY like. I have a feeling I'll like BL though. It's certainly my type of game.
They have DJ Hero set up in Game - seriously, Shelly and I have got to have a go of that when we're in town next week. It looks fucking ridiculous like. :)
I went into Boots to get some stuff for Ian and Lisa. I've got Lisa a cosmetics bag and a lipgloss set - they're all themed with like Japanese geisha girls - which I know Lisa is batty about, so they seem really fitting. I've got a body set for Ian, but I need to get them both some chocolates to go with that. I might get Ian something else too, maybe when I go mooching in Forbidden Planet for Adam's present. :)
When I was in River Island, I found the best thing ever for him - but I shan't post it to here, for I know he's an avid reader of this blog. :P
And of course, when walking past HMV - the idea struck me for what nana could get me to go with the games rack she's bought me out of Argos. Rammstein's sexy new album, Leibe Ist Fur Alle Da. :D
I set off for college at about 12:40, but still ended up about ten minutes early, so I stood about listening to Rammstein and Blind Guardian.
Film Studies was reasonable - we finished off our posters from last week and made some notes on a documentary about blockbuster films. Saying that, blockbusters are fairly simple to understand - I really didn't need to see a documentary about them to understand the concept.
Walking back to the bus station, I bumped into mam, Christine, Lucy and Lila - so I turned around and walked back to the car park with them. Nice one, I saved my bus fare. :P
I sat in the back of the car with Lucy and Lila - who she had on her knee. She looked like she kept wanting to lunge for my badges. I wasn't keen on the idea - yes, I'd like to see children getting impaled on safety pins, but I could do without baby blood on my face. :)
When mam came home, we watched Desparate Housewives and then when we ran out of DVDs, I ate a bowl of rice and watched How Clean Is Your House? - Kim Woodburn is supposed to be going on I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here on Sunday - so I'll definatley be watching that, she's fucking epic. :D
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shelly came at around five - we laid on my bed and had lots of cuddly time.
It's so weird cuddling her when we've got Cannibal Corpse and Rammstein blasting in the background. :)
I got some things organised for tomorrow's filming - mainly the suit jackets and shirts from my wardrobe, then I hung them on the door ready for when we needed them.

Pretty Good Day. :)
Well, blah. The part that a few of us Well-girls were doing in the church Christmas thing has been cut. No carolsinging for Phirefly.
On the other hand, in what might be an unrelated incident (hard to tell exactly what's unrelated, but this seems to be), I've found a new Good Place to Be.
I have a list of these. I am prone to mischief and messiness in a rather general fashion. Good Places to Be are things that keep me from those proverbial idle hands, better balanced, and usually either being more productive or doing something good. One fine example is a particular practice room. Another is the skating rink at certain hours. Similar to the kid who wants to stop partying but needs something else to turn the hours to, I need to find something good for these hours when I want to engage in what I know is not particularly helpful. It's not precisely destructive, but, y'know, those instincts are warning me off again, and I've found that this particular bundle of instincts usually knows what it's talking about.
I have also encountered a wonderful salad. One of the other Well-girls works at kind of a healthy deli in town (hard to describe, but my sister worked at another one back home where I love to grab lunch with my Mom), and recommended a particular salad. Definite case of not normally what I'd go for, but I'm now very happy to be munching on it. It has cranberries and walnuts and golden raisins and goat cheese and leafy stuff and they all blend delightfully. I would say something along the lines of, "Y'all should try this!" but I think I'm just one of the later ones to stumble upon a something that everyone else knows and enjoys. But, in the event you've not, run by Breckenridge, have a New England salad. In fact, bring it back here, I will make you tea, or cocoa (although I don't think cocoa and salad really go together), we will watch the swirling snow and the pretty Christmas tree and share stories of adventures.
I'm doing a bit of ye olde online shopping for Christmas, as I won't really be able to do any proper shopping until a few days prior (and the pennies must be managed most carefully over the next month). I do enjoy living in this little town, but there's not so much in the way of shopping. I could get everyone cowboy duds - that'd be pretty sweet. I actually rather want to have a cool cowgirl hat and sweet boots that may or may not go with it, but I have difficulty justifying this, as I'm not sure where I'd wear them. My sister got me a pretty nifty fedora last year (I heart fedoras) and I almost never wear it.
Although that might just be because it's a size too small. You thought you were insulted when your guy got you a garment too large? Try when your sibling manages to inadvertently suggest that your head's too small. :P Seriously, though, it's a freakin' cool hat. K, it should be noted, thinks it's a freakin' ridiculous hat, which is why he does not get to wear it. :D But my sister knows me well, knows my tastes, and rocks for managing to find it and gift it to me. I heart her immensely.
And I have change with which to do laundry!! This is exciting for me - I ran out of quarters earlier this week, and hadn't had time to stop anywhere and get change. I can have clean jeans for church tomorrow!!!
I may go back to regular posts at some point, but man, writing about good stuff that's going on is just too much fun. :D

(no subject)
I hate frappachinos. And I hate working short staffed the entirety of the Saturday before Christmas. Thanks a lot to you for calling in 'sick' two hours before you worked and not bothering to find someone to cover your shift.
Today has been horrible. And I still have to go Christmas shopping.

"when you get to the right place with the right people...."
Man, oh man, I'm happy. Bullshit is at a rare minimum, even with Christmas coming so soon. Not many people left to shop for, and it seems reasonable to believe that we may even have it all done by this weekend. Wouldn't that be incredible. I've never had my shopping done before Christmas before, let alone a week before the actual date.
Ted Bundy is fitting in well. He's smaller than Willie, and a little more aggressive. And we get Bodybag sometime this week. Then our ferret family is complete.
I'm making a wall of stockings for everyone; Zippy and I, Tony and Marisa, Bill and Katie, Alexis and Les, and in typical cheeseball fashion, I plan on having onesfor the cats, the ferrets, and the rats. If I get the chance, I'm going to splurge and buy some nice toys and treats for them. I plan on stuffing the human stockings with candy and small useless crap.
I really like the term "stuffing the human stockings". I feel good.
Yay.
I've nothing to blog about... or I do, but I don't really remember. Oh yes. I went to the mall for the first time in Tampa. I bought mummy dearest a cute brown sweater and a white tank top to go under it, a black shirt that is really cute, and a black sweater/shirt thingy. Wow, I didn't know how girly I could be. Especially when given large sums of money and let loose to shop for other people. I have been arguing w/ mummy, I want her to wear cute flats or something cuz she can't wear heels. She doesn't understand that there are shoes for work and shoes for play. She thinks if she gets pretty shoes that aren't the most comfortable, that she has to wear them all day. She's very picky about shoes. Her ankles swell so she needs comfy wide shoes. I think I'll get her two pairs. One for work, like a nurses shoe, cuz she shows apartments and walks alot. And another for special occasions, like a cute flat that she can wear w/ a dress. Yes, I think that'll do nicely.
