Jun. 26th, 2011 12:16 amSo. Prague. The thing is, I really want to explain in the kind of detail that will take pages and pages, and basically say everything that happened. Which I'm sure would be torturous. So I'm going to try to summarise it a bit more.
( Prague )
So. Those are my not so short thoughts and impressions of Prague. Hurrah.

So. Those are my not so short thoughts and impressions of Prague. Hurrah.
Hello. I was in Prague this morning. And now I am in Yorkshire.
Mostly I want to post though to say that I have just watched the first Coronation Street of the night and CORONATION STREET IS SORT OF DULL and I MISS TONY GORDON, and that I LOVE BECKY MCDONALD and how she tends to have issues with older women. ( Spoiler )
I have not seen Monday's and Thursday's Coronation Streets yet though, so I'm still possibly spoilerable. Although unless it's something AMAZING, I probably won't mind that much, having already seen tonight's.
I am planning to post about Prague at some point, but there's not much point doing it now when the next episode of Coronation Street is on in about 15 minutes. It was really nice though. Hello!

Jun. 18th, 2011 09:25 pmHello. I am totally still around. Now I'm going to Prague tomorrow, and I still haven't picked out any clothes to pack, packed, or tidied my room a bit like I wanted to. Eek.
I don't think it'll be too hard to pack for Prague though. We're only going for six days, and two of them are going to involve travelling, so we'll only really be there for about 4 full days. And from what I feel like I know about Prague, and what my mum has seen on the weather forecasts for there, the weather will probably be pretty much like it is in England, if not slightly worse. So I'm mostly planning on taking a few pairs of jeans, maybe some lighter trousers for if it's sunny, some t-shirts, something nice to go out in of an evening, and something to sleep in. Plus the basics, obviously.
What I have done is listened to the Adam and Joe show this morning, which came complete with a bit about Labyrinth, which was lovely because I just rewatched it the other night, so it was very apt for me; went into town today and finally bought another pair of jeans, so I now I actually do have (including the ones I'll be wearing) a 'few pairs' to take on holiday with me; I also managed to get some vests, a nice dress, and a free pair of sunglasses because I spent more than £35 at New Look (the free sunglasses started falling apart not long after I started trying to clean them, but I managed to get the little screws and put it back together, so hopefully that'll be fine); and I also went for my yearly haircut this week, and shaved my legs and underarms, as is my yearly tradition. Mostly I am pleased about my hair. It is short and doesn't get in my face as much. I would like to make a note to try to keep it this short more regularly.
I also got my period this week, not that long since my last one. But there was quite a big gap, I think, between my last one and the one before it, so it's probably fair enough. And as I said to my mum, I'd rather get it now than when I'm in Prague. So hurrah.
So yeah. I've had a fairly busy week. I've also been watching lots of stuff and having things to say about them, but not massive things to say.
One of them, though, was ( Spoilers for Silk, last week's Scott and Bailey, and now next week's Emmerdale, possibly triggery )
I also went to see X-Men: First Class last week. And I have mixed, and then changing feelings about it. ( My thoughts, spoilery )
Anyway. So those are my (apparently fairly long) thoughts on X-Men: First Class.
Right. I have other thoughts, but mostly they are about how I love Becky McDonald and I love David Platt and Gary Windass is acting a bit creepy at the moment. And other things. But I really need to go and pack. I am going on holiday tomorrow. So you probably won't hear from me until next week sometime, at the earliest. So, bye!

Feb. 9th, 2011 08:42 pm- In the past two and a half ETA: weeks (oh my god, I need to remember about words), I may have become the owner of three new pairs of boots and a new jacket, all reduced price in New Look. Maybe. I couldn't possibly say.
- There may also be one more jacket and two dresses, only slightly reduced in price, but seemingly running out of my size quite fast on the website, that I'm debating whether or not to buy. It's not like I buy clothes all the time, and it's rare that I even find any I like, and that I like on me. Hmm.
- Somehow, in between watching things and trying to get ready for pairing picspams, I've ended up in the middle of watching The Mighty Boosh, Daria, The Office (US) and There Will Be Blood all at once. Whoops.
- My mum and I were discussing holidays last week, and I said given that my dad said last year that the holiday in Barcelona was the last one they would be taking me on, and since he bought me a laptop for Christmas, that I was really not expecting and perfectly happy to not go with them wherever they want this year. So my mum went off and discussed it with my dad, and now they're taking three holidays. One short break with me in June, one in Wales with me and my two nephews in the summer, and one on their own later on in the year, probably to Portugal. Okay. Mum asked me where I'd want to go if I was just planning a holiday/city break on my own, and I said Prague. And now we're apparently all going to Prague. I bought a guide book today. And yes. I can't really say I'm unhappy about it.
- A nice thing that happened today: I've been bobbing in and out of a jewellers in my home town asking if they do repairs, to see if I can possibly get a ring my parents bought me in Whitby fixed. It was all bent out of shape, apparently just from me wearing it. Hmm. Anyway, I finally went in with the actual ring today, and they had a look at it and said I'd be getting it fixed at my own risk, because the stone was so small there'd be a risk of the soldering thing cracking it. But I couldn't get it on my finger, so I said they might as well. I asked how much it would be and the woman said a few pounds, so I said okay and she took it off into the back. A few minutes later, the woman came back out with my ring in it's proper shape, with the stone not cracked. And when I got out my purse, she said there was no charge. Hurrah.
- I had my first appointment with a service that helps people with mental health problems get back into work last week. It was alright, just an initial chat really. It was halfway between standard questions about whether I drove and I think what kind of experience I had, and half me explaining in great detail about my current problems and my home life. It was quite nice though, and when the woman asked me if I wanted to carry on and use the service, I said yes. My next appointment is tomorrow.
- My head hurts despite the fact that instead of the usual 2 hours of sleep I have before a Jobcentre appointment, last night I had six hours. Growl.
- Another nice thing that happened today: while I was in Leeds I went into the WH Smith there, and while I was browsing the discount/clearance shelf, I found a weird, cartoonish David Platt mug. Which because it was in the clearance, cost £2. Result.
