I cancelled that thing tomorrow, in the end. I was already feeling pretty tired just from stressing out yesterday, and then it turned out that mum hadn't managed to find any ankle wellies, just some fashion wellies that were wider at the top but still too tight. So I cancelled it. Given that I have a workshop, an appointment with my employment coach, and I have to start getting ready for the holiday, the next week or so is already starting to feel like an uphill obstacle course, and I might start tripping over any moment. So I think it's probably the right decision.

Some good things:

  • My mum and I finally took the dog to the vets last week after me nagging mum for a couple of weeks. He's old and has had some problems getting up in the last few months, and mum seemed to think they'd just say it was time to have him put to sleep. But instead they gave him anti-inflammatory medication, and he's getting up and moving around a lot better :D


  • John Ross from Dallas is super pretty.


  • Lottie from Bad Machinery is amazing.


  • I went to Connotations, the last one ever, and it was totally brilliant. We finally learned about Asylum films. Thank you [livejournal.com profile] moonlettuce and [livejournal.com profile] temaris.

A bad thing:

  • Apparently while I was away my sister, her partner and the kids came down to my parents' house for Sunday dinner. Which is a bit weird and alarming. But maybe it won't become too regular a thing. Hopefully.

Also, partially inspired by my stress out yesterday, I present to you one of my favourite angry songs. It's not entirely about calling women whores or homophobia (but still a bit!), but mostly about running people over with your car:

Move Bitch - Ludacris

Things that aren't Emmerdale and thus are a bit more cheerful:

  • It's been years since I found it, and yet Folksongs Are Your Friends is still one of the funniest things on the internet for me.


  • New Bad Machinery story, woo! Sometimes I think about if I ever did the Slashies again, who would I have for each category. I properly couldn't think of anyone for Best Dressed except maybe Cheryl from Hollyoaks. How I ever forgot Lottie, I will never know.


  • The other week I came downstairs to get something just as my parents were watching the end of a film they had taped on the Sky box. It involved Dougray Scott being a bit of a psycho and chasing a young man all over his house. They told me that was basically the plot of the film, except in Edinburgh generally, not just Dougray Scott's house. I was intrigued. Chase films/pairings are a bit of a kink of mine, and Dougray Scott was gaying it up, as far as I could see. So I bought the DVD quite cheaply from Play.com and watched it all this week. It is called New Town Killers. And it's really quite gay. I very much enjoyed it at any rate. Alistair/Sean, dudes. Or Alistair/Jamie. Or Jamie/Sean. Whatever.


  • And I watched Strictly. Spoilers for this week )


  • I have been watching Misfits! Spoilers up 2.03 )


  • It snowed here Friday and today, hurrah! Although me not having to go out in it might be making me happier about it than I otherwise would be.

Tomorrow I have to call the Jobcentre to reschedule an appointment, call the doctor's to reschedule another appointment, and I'd like to tidy up my incredibly messy bedroom a bit, if I can. We'll see.
