E dropped by yesterday to give me presents, because she rocks. I got Lush (bweee!), and an Official Robin Hood Electronic Recurve BowTM (bweeehehehehe my co-workers won’t know what hit them :D), and the Best! Hat! Ever!
… Please ignore the fact that I look demented in that second picture. *cough* Also, State of the Hair, six months and two days after shaving:
Also, a not-that-small gripe brought on by surfing YouTube for Dubliners vids:
Dear YouTubers,
Carrickfergus is not, in fact, a song originally written by Charlotte Church. No, really.
Twitchingly yours,
Melle

More Serious Link, also from Anna: Lakota group secedes from U.S. Oh my god. I can’t wait to see the official US government reaction to this. O_O

Spam of the Day
"Context-Free Living!" I already do a lot of that, thanks spammers.
WoW Blithering
My main is halfway through level 68, and even if i skip the group quests, I should be able to hit 70 in another couple of sessions. (Mmm, Outland. XP heaven!) Once I hit 70, I'm thinking of starting a guild to go and do pre-BC endgame content and shit, and levelling help, because I'm nowhere near ready to hit the current endgame stuff, I don't think, and dammit, I want to see these dungeons.
(Anyone Alliance-side on Stormrage want to join an easy-going family-type guild? Anyone Alliance-side on Stormrage at all? I like running people through instances and shit, because when you're level 60-something, Scarlet Monastery is surprisingly zen and calming after the frustration of elite group quests in Outland) and all I ask in return is someone to talk to me while I get my ass gored by elite goats. :D )
Also, I have a wee dwarf pally now, who's currently enjoying the hospitality of the good people of Lakeshire while I finish levelling my hunter, probably getting sloshed while I'm not looking. If anyone sees a red-headed dwarf pally in Lakeshire, be a dear and listen to her tale of PUG woe, would you? (First time I ever quit a PUG. I'm stubborn, but even I'm not that stubborn. I may just end up getting a higher level to run me through or something because augh. But then I'll never get in practise in tanking. Woe.)
My Friends Are More Awesome Than Your Friends (Unless Your Friends Happen To be My Friends As Well)
On Saturday, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}
dantesvendetta came over for Robin Hoodage and food, and brought me a DVD player. A purple one.
Best. Fake Girlfriend. EVER. :D
Speaking of Robin Hood ...
Guy, naked and wet and bedraggled. I'm starting to sense a theme here -- this is clearly the season in which all the boys get stripped half-naked and then soaked. I heartily approve! \o/
Other Stuff
I've been batting around the idea lately of getting into freelance web design. Because when people whose site is made in freakin' FrontPage, with the standard blue-underlined links and everything, can get away with charging £200-300 for a four-page website, presumable also made in FrontPage, then I can earn a cool £100-150 for hand-coding that same four-page website in a few hours' work, I'd think.
I've convinced two people at work who have/are setting up their own business to let me design their website for free in return for getting to use them as a portfolio, so including my own site, once I manage to beat it into behaving, that'll be three sites I can show off to potential clients. I'm not expecting to be bringing in the big bucks any time soon, let alone make a living off this, but any extra money is good, innit?
Anna (troubleinchina) has been doing Friday Discussion Posts for a while now, inviting discussion on feministic (hush, it's a word) issues, and I think this week's is an especially interesting one: You must be this thin: >< to perform (But if you are there's something wrong with you).
For once, I n ot only managed to comment, but I actually managed to be coherent enough that I want to save the comment for my own reference. Go to Anna's post to read, or read here, or whatever.
Things Not To Ask Tech Support: "Are you as good-looking as your voice makes you sound?" Yeah, um, DO NOT WANT! D:
Also, help me decide what to write for NaNo?
(Also also, sikrit message to troubleinchina: I HAS TOES! Ten of them! Clearly this means we are SISTERS OMG! And mine have PURPLE TOENAILS BWEE! :D)
HI! I IS DRUNK! I, er, may or may not have charged a tenner to let someone film me jumping up and down. Um. I WOULD TO IT AGAIN TOO! Easiest monney I ever made, even if I did share it with intemporaliter,who deserved it because hey, birthay girl wheeee!
I stupidly forgot my hat at Sarah's, too, d'oh!
WoWing drunk is not a good idea, is it?
*walks up to flist, grunts* Work baaaaaaad. Daystar eeeeeeevil. Melle smash?
My sleep pattern's all fucked up, gah. I was at dantesvendetta's and bracknellexile's for Mags's room-warming party until, um, ass o'clock on Saturday morning. Not that I'm complaining about the party, mine, because there was corsettage, and hot redheads, and lots of fun and alcohol, and also cupcakes! And hey, look, quotes! :D
And then, Saturday and Sunday, there was WoW. ( Cut for your convenience because it's long and has a metric shitload of footnotes. )
Look, look, I got a present from dine!
As fg.net is down at the moment, could someone please do me a favour and upload a perl script for me? I just need to run it once to check my IBAN and get the correct checksum, and this crap won't run in windows itself. *puppy eyes* Nevermind! :D

Apparently, the client is coming to do training in the last week of March, so we can't take days off in that week. This would of course be the week dramaturgy is coming to visit. *shakes tiny fist of impotent rage*
But then this was delivered to my work, courtesey of dantesvendetta, so I is a happy geek. :D I love my friends. ^_____^
Happy New New Year!

Work is kinda meh today. (Number of people I have muttered "biznatch" at: at least three dozen.) But I get to see intemporaliter and dantesvendetta tonight, so yaye!
Happy birthday, padredon!
Also, since I have you here, and also for the attention of troubleinchina and elance, when do people want to come over for the last two eps of Robin Hood? There will be chocolate fondue!
I still have six minutes left for this, darnit!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Apologies to anyone who tried to call me tonight, but I forgot to bring the transfer thingie to be able to charge my phone here — d'oh!
dantesvendetta, troubleinchina, I love your presents! So much hart!
Oh, and I didn't got to midnight mass this year, and managed to stab myself in the finger with a fondue fork. The two may or may not be related, I don't know. Stupid vengeful god.

Happy Birfay to MEEEEEE! *twirls*
Today, I slept in, had lunch with Anna, and then went shopping for Christmas present for my family and a “Happy Brthday and also go me for not buying a snarky Christmas present for my mum*” present for me. I now own a pair of knee-high fuck-me boots, woohoo! *strut*
Now I just need to learn to walk in them without sounding all clompy or falling over.
* I was looking at the wee stocking-filler box things that have, like, zen garden in a box, or tarot cards, or stuff like that, and one of them was a “Therapist In A Box”. I resisted, but only just.

Good: My printer arrived yesterday, wheee! And I was smart and got paper and labels for it so I can test it and print out my address labels for my Christmas cards.
Bad: The delivery person left it just sitting there in front of my door. Which, yeah, it saves me a trip to pick it up, but it also risks having it stolen.WTF?
Also, I want it noted for the record that the boys of my acqauintance are annoyingly difficult to find presents for. Grrr, I say!
Mostly for my own reference: Things To Do Before I Go To Belgium
- Get Christmas presents for everybody;
- Write Christmas cards;
- Mail cards and presents that need mailing;
- Give presents to local people so they can open them on Christmas Eve;
- Clean, put up Christmas tree and decorations, etc.;
- Join a gym;
- Get hair done properly, either by a pro or by a friend, and dye it some funky colour;
- Finish, or at the very least continue, the Jayne!Wingfic;
- Burn WoW US to CD so I can play from my mum's house and avoid going bugfuck insane;
- Get my yearly physical checkup done, or at least booked;
- Update my Google Calendar so I can keep track of things like I should;
- [This space left blank to add the gazzilion things I'm forgetting at the moment.]
