Birthday Girl! Also: Emmerdale

I'm 21 today. I'm 21 today. It doesn't mean anything anymore. I'm 21 today.

I have money. I gave mum a hint about a cake. I do not have any gold and diamonds - we had my grandmother with us, and it was raining and winding pretty hard, so we left it. But I have American Gothic DVDs! God bless WH Smiths. Expect some incoherent squee and screencaps and possibly a 'girlofprey's guide to Matt/Lucas' in the days to come. Once I get hold of the chronological order of the episodes, instead of the (incorrect) screening order they've for some reason put them in on the DVD ::headdesk:: But no matter.

I've been watching the pre-recorded Emmerdale omnibus. It included Jimmy being a daft prat and Carl and Matthew having to gang up with their intelligence to stop him ruining everything. And a beautiful conversation while they were alone in the cafe, wherein Carl tried to get him to stop talking about business for five minutes and check out a pretty lady, while Matt asked him if he thought 'the business was going to keep making money for [you] on it's own?', BECAUSE HE WANTS CARL TO BE SECURE AND TAKEN CARE OF, and then said 'It's not a woman I want. You, on the other hand...something about a bin-wagon'! There is an Emmerdale DVD. For a mere £4.00. But am I fangirly enough to buy it?

Quite probably yes, actually.

Birthday Exhaustion, somewhat

My nephew has been here for some hours. I need to sleep now. After Green Wing. And watching my recording of Snuff Box from BBC3 (I don't know what it is, but it stars Dixon Bainbridge and Bob Fossil from The Mighty Boosh, so I'm there). And I would record the Life on Mars repeat on at 2:55 (?!) tonight, except that they apparently started them a while ago, and I have YET AGAIN missed the first two episodes.

::headdesk::

Thank you for all your kind birthday messages :) I love you all longtime ::does sexy dance::

In other Emmerdale news, Carl hired a pretty young male secretary to temp for him and his brothers. I love Carl very much. But that was a while ago. Tonight, from what I saw Jimmy does not seem to be assuming that his new place as head of the family and favoured son means he gets to have the gay brothersex with Carl. Thank God. And Matthew responded to Sadie's suggestions they have the sex by saying he'd just had his breakfast. I shall say no more.

I'm in that usual position now I have money of trying to decide if I should just have it, and spend it casually and freely on the things I see everyday, and have a good time, or carefully and logically deduce and buy the most important things I've wanted FOR AGES, and have Stuff. Such as this book, which I've been moping about for a while, and JUST REALISED is available for £1.75 if I get it used.

::Headdesk, yes::

I'm amusing myself picking new icons now. And no-one can stop me.
