| RELEASE THE LASERS! |

Long exposure + darkness + laser pointer = funs
This one I took freehand.. for 30 seconds. It was only after pressing the shutter I realised this was a daft idea. Still, it came out really pretty so I kept it.

This is going to sound ridiculous but I am locked inside the house....
Yes you can stop laughing now.
I'm serious. I haven't been able to find my keys all morning, Dom's at work but his keys are with the electrician who is in the garage and Dan has gone out and for some reason has locked the front door behind him.
I have searched every inch of the house and I CANNOT FIND MY FUCKING KEYS ANYWHERE!
Needless to say this is an added stress I did not want right now.

| Essay Woes Over (I Hope) |

Been stressing about a lot of things this week, in particular this essay. HOW did I manage on the BA? Anyway one of the girls in my workshop gave me some good advice so I'm gonna finish this draft and then speak to my tutor tomorrow because I'm getting mixed messages about word-counts. Last years quotes did not count towards it, this year they do. This seems to be quite a big change so I want to check it out. Still it's well over so either way I need to make some adjustments. So there's that problem. Still not sure about my manuscript and I think this is what is stopping me sleeping properly. Hopefully I can sort this out in next weeks workshop.
Dom is out tonight so I'm enjoying an evening alone. So far I have done no essay stuff, no writing, no editing, no workshopping, no card writing, no present wrapping and no cleaning. Score!
Actually I should probably get on with something...

[09 Dec 2009|07:51am] |
So there I was last week making plans like visiting Sil and shopping in Worcester, and going to Slimbridge for a dinner and swan feeding session, when Ailsa reveals accidentally secret plans to visit her folks in Southampton this weekend.
Not that I mind going to Southampton, but it is nice to know these things.
Shopping Sunday morning in Southampton before having lunch in the amazingly named The Admiral Sir Lucius Curtis pub is the plan. 'Shopping' means 'Fabricland' I think, although the Bristol one isn't open on Sunday so unless the Southampton one is different Ailsa may be pouting at lunchtime :P

Wooah! The dream I had this morning was...interesting and at the end quite unsettling:
In my old infants school hall, there are lots of people in chairs. Dom and I are on the stage wit a black guy next to us. He's trying to speak to everyone but the crowd is noisy. My mum is in the front row, I think my dad was next to her. The black guy tries to get everyone's attention. Finally I scream "sit down and shut up" and everyone does. He then proceeds to marry us. But before he can finish (and suddenly there are more people on the stage) a woman I kinda recognise runs in and tell us we've got the wrong minister and the wrong location. Everyone gets up to leave and I follow my mum out. Talk to some old people I don't recognise but who recognise me.
Next thing I'm running up the street in a white wedding dress. Cars go past with all the guests in but no one offers me a lift. Dom rides past on a horse but doesn't pick me up even though I REALLY want him to (I can remember that feeling quite strongly). Finally a car of teens pick me up and drive me to the place (how they know where it is I have no idea). Get there and it's a huge pavillion with lots of different food sellers who are all people I know (I remember Mike and Amber selling burgers and candyfloss) and I think that this is perfect just what I wanted (totally not true by the way). Anwyay I can't find Dom or my mum for ages, then find him buying chips (shoulda been my first warning). He says something to me and I get quite upset and go and sit in the huge field. Some women come and talk to me about lavender and then my teeth start falling out and there is loads of blood and I'm crying and bleeding and my mum comes over to suggest I move out of the way so the guest can get to the sunday roast tables. I show her my teeth and she says it's not the end of the world, get out of the way. So I move on with my teeth falling out into a newspaper someone gave me and all I can think is "how will I smile for the photos now?"
So that was it. Odd huh? My dream book had NOTHING on teeth falling out but google tells me it's about insecurity. All I know is I'm feeling really freaked out right now.

Forgot how hard essay writing is. Gonna print a copy out and write all over it! ^_^ That always helps!
Rest of weekend was good. Pancake Sunday is always lots of yummy fun! Did most of the remainder of Christmas shopping today. Only a few small bits left to do.
Following weekend is gonna be a cleaning and painting walls kinda weekend. Also our fireplace looks awesome! ^_^ Hoping to go fabric shopping on Sunday to pick up stuff for Zoisite/Kunzite! ^_^ I'm so excited about Dom's cape it's kinda scary...
Only had 3 responses so far about January. Is it just not a good time for people or is no-one interested in seeing the house?

What is with One Piece fillers - and nearly all of the movies - ALWAYS being about a small child who hates pirates?
Makes them easy to point out to people for avoidance purposes I guess..

We bought a sofa today! ^_^ It's a corner sofa, chocolate brown in colour. It's being delivered sometime in the next week or two! Our fireplace is starting to look really good too. It's all coming together.
With regards to my mood yesterday, I'm feeling a bit less beige. I'm not better but I'm okay.
Just throwing this out there, but if we had a housewarming party in January who would be interested in coming? (Not saying dates, just asking for general interest/numbers/etc)

Not feeling myself right now so sorry if this is all a bit blah blah.
I won't say anything about the incident on Sunday night as Dom's covered most of it. Not sure if my current mood is connected to it.
Did some Christmas shopping today and am generally annoyed by it all. Maybe cos it doesn't feel like Christmas to me. We haven't decorated and may not as well, as things aren't finished. Plus I'm going home for Christmas this year so I won't be around to appreciate anything we would put up. Coursework deadlines are kinda my focus at the moment and I think they're partly what's bringing me down. My manuscript is bothering me and it's something I just need to get my head around. I'm just worried I'm gonna choose the wrong thing...I hate making decisions.
Speaking of decisions, I'm trying to decided between Zoisite and Sailor Mercury for Kita. Dom will hopefully have a Kunzite done for Kita so it'd be great for photos with him but I don't know...Argh, bloody decisions.
I'm so fed up.

Ball weekend was awesome, packed with lots of fun and people. More details under the cut.
( Friday )
( Saturday )
( Sunday )
( Monday )
Despite being there all weekend, still didn't see some people nearly as much as I wanted. I'll have to find a spare weekend and come back up to London again soon.

| Do not want to be up!!! |

Will out a more detailed post up later, but quick shout out to make sure everyone got home okay.
Awesome weekend was awesome, and I'm so glad we made a full weekend out of it. It would have been a shame to miss a minute of social / activity time. As it was I didn't spend nearly enough time with people.
And now to work. This sucks.
