(no subject)

I don't think I need to tell anyone this anymore, and I probably won't be online this weekend anyway, but if I get spoiled for HBP, I'm eating someone's face, capice? Right.

And on the same subject, stupid timing on all parts means that I can't actually pay for my Amazon order until Friday (payday), which means it probably won't get to me by Saturday, argh. So either Sunday, if whatever delivery service they use works on Sunday, or Monday, but obviously not at work, so I'll have to wait even longer. GAH!

Between that, assorted other financial worries, and a whole slew of friendship troubles, my stomach's been aching for days. I've stopped drinking coffee in the hopes that'll help, and also to avoid dehydrating myself even further in this INFERNAL HEATH. This is SCOTLAND, it's not supposed to be HOT! Eeeeevil yellow eye! *hiss, claw*

Random link of the day: Bill and Ted: The Musical. I love the internet.

And now for today's Big Brother babbling. Still squeeing over Craig and Anthony. Eugene still cute, and I got all "Awwww" over his reasons not to vote. He's so adorable! I want to feed him milk and cookies! Derek is growing on me more and more, especially after his recent analysis of the dynamics between the other guys in the house. And Kemal is getting more loveable by the day.

I'm half Australian, and from the tropical part, Queensland, at that. I think it's been bred into me to adore heat. Plus everyone in Queensland is crazy, even the Australians admit it.

Friendship woes usually do resolve in time. They just burn in the interim. (Weird how you don't get anything like the same sympathy over that shit as you do over sexual relationships- it can hurt almost as much.)

Yeah. The friendship woes are mostle various groups of friends squabbling internally, and in the case of one, I'm needing to think about ending a four-year friendship because it's bringing aspects of a friend to the forefront that I'd been tryin to ignore for a while.

And of course the LJ aspect makes it that much harder to "break up" with friends. Sigh.

That's tough. Losing old friends is agonising, even if you have to. Hope it won't come to that. >.>

My IRL and online friends meet when online visit, and the good ones have all talked to Al on the phone, but I don't like the idea of having IRL and online friended to my LJ. Probably partly because I can hide the extent of my fangirlishness (the IRL "know" and fondly tease, rather than read it and stare in horror) but also... well, you can't avoid drama, with human beings, but you can compartmentalise it.

Most of my RL friends are fannish to some extent, or at least writers and/or people I first met online, because of various reasons I won't bore you with (though I will if asked, heh), but the only time I ever kinda "broke off" a friendship with a RL and LJ friend, the friendship really kind of faded out and then six months later I took the guy off my flist, because he'd not updated in ages anyway, so that made it easier.

I've had this thought a lot of times before, but LJ makes it hard for friendships to die a natural death, because you kind of have to either leave that last link there, or semi-publicly and "officially" break off the friendship, and since I'm usually the one to actually do that, I've often been accused of being a bitch in those situations. :/

Yeah, that's really hard. But I think honesty is often mistaken for bitchcraft. People are too used to sugar coatings, but reality isn't altered by denial, after all.
