So the boat trip was ok. A two hour drive to get there (and I almost crashed into my dad - mum was distracting me!), seven hours on a boat WITH NO BATHROOM!! and two hours travelling back after testing out Waitrose's loos (very nice, posh shop - they had bagels with cream cheese and salmon that were cheaper than the all day breakfast sandwiches!). I fell asleep at 9:10ish, woke up at 10:20 then went back to sleep till 9am this morning! I was bushwacked!

So today, I'm still in my pjs, but I'm going over to mum's in a bit cause Mark is with his parents until 8:30 (I still don't like them and would rather not spend time with them for the forseeable future. I don't care how nice his mum is being, she and her husband still fucked things over and said that I didn't love Mark as much as he loved me if I didn't move to fucking Doncaster to be with a man who didn't have a job at the time... When I had a job here... I was being sensible and the fucking bastards threw it back in my face... Whatever, I don't like them.) and, even though I'm tres comfy here, I need some company.

Just had some Jaffa Cakes. Yummy! :D My net is still frozen toffee slow though. Like jumpy and shit. :(

Right to Oz mum and dad's house!

Writer's Block: Music for Thought

2009-06-22T17:00:27Z

When you have to study or get work done, what music (if any) do you put on to help you concentrate?

View other answers

Just normal work, it's anything I can lay my hands on, usually something with lyrics. When I'm writing, it's wordless music (so dance music or soundtracks and stuff like that). It's awesome cause the music influences the mood. :D

So the housewarming went well. Got towels. Twas cool.

Been working all day Monday and Friday for the past three weeks-month and basically dying because of it.

Getting my eyebrows shaped tomorrow. V excited. I can't pluck them as I'm allergic to pain that I cause myself... I should be fine with other people doing it! :D

Getting my highlights Thursday. Should be fun.

Saturday, I'm seeing family. Mark's coming with so it shouldn't be too dreadful.

Had a mock practical last week. Only four serious (two cause I couldn't reverse into a bay, one cause I had my foot on the clutch going round a corner and one cause there was a stupid fucking bitch stood in the middle of the road trying to cross looking fucking stupid making me get a fucking serious which would meant that I would fail if it was a real fucking test and if I see her I will really have to hold back the urge to punch her!).

Drove mum to Llangrannog last Thursday. On a sixty road, a little old fucking lady was doing fucking THRITY!!! Thirty miles an hour on a sixty mile per hour road! I almost rammed into the back of her cause she would almost literally stop to overtake PARKED cars! I wanted to punch the woman or key her car! This is still stressing me out!!!!

So... Sorry for the swearing. I hate idiots on the road. :(

No, cause animals work on instinct. They don't think about the morals of doing something, they just do it. And to feel regret needs some sort of moral compass.

For Thirteen Year Old Slapstick... Of Sexiness! I got:

this is so much worse than the other fan fics i read of yours. so far.

For a Mary-Sue infested fic called, Writing and Dancing I got:

PLESE keep writing it! i LOVE the plot so far!

I can't even look at it, I hate that fic so much. So. Many. Mary-Sues! And calling Draco Dray? What was I on? I mean, constantly calling him Dray. Because obviously he'd be ok with that?! Urgh. And she can't even spell please! Hate this sort of reviewer. :(

Rach xxx

Edit: Ok, just read the old fic, Writing and Dancing, and uh... I can save parts of it. If I make it a major AU (like, before we find out that Harry needs to kill Voldie himself sort of AU... Like, anyone can kill him without that Horcrux bs)... But I'd need to nix the whole Ron/Hermione thing, and emo!Harry is a bit too emo... Hmm...

Gah, what am I thinking?

NCIS - Semper Fidelis and Aliyah

2009-05-20T21:46:24Z

OH MY FREAKING GOD!

TONY KILLED MICHAEL! HOW FUCKING HAPPY AM I????

So anyways. Semper Fidelis? Uh... The whole, 'OMFG an agent died?!' and everyone but CIA playing? Didn't like. Didn't really like the ICE agent (Tim is meant to be mostly with Abby... Sometimes with Ziva... Depending on fic writer/my mood) or the whole plot up until we get Tony investigating further (yaay Tony!) and doing stuff. Then it got good!

I mean, ok, so we know Rachel has a thing for Tony/Ziva, but I'm so glad that he was willing to trust his co-worker to ask her, and not just take her to headquarters for questioning. But his reaction to Michael? Brill. And Michael was kinda goading him, then tried to kill him, so the whole shooting him or being stabbed was ok. Cause he does actually say that they should stop, but Michael went on... Does he actually tell Ziva, or anyone, that detail?

So anyways, Ziva breaks down the door in a move of super woman-ness, and points a gun to the alive person - Tony - then sees that Michael is dead. End ep. 3 out of 5, only cause the last ten minutes made up for the whole 32 minutes before it.

Aliyah? The way Ziva just gets all, 'Damn you Tony for killing him!' cause she was gonna get someone from Mossad to take him made me sad. But how she assumes bad stuff before reading his report is kinda harsh. I know she loves/d Michael, but there would have been good cause for Tony to be on the floor with a dead dude next to him, and not just cause Tony has a thing for Ziva and Michael didn't like it. Tony wouldn't kill a person if he didn't think he was gonna be killed by the guy. He seems to have been brought up right.

So yeah, my fave song on the NCIS soundtrack - Fear by Stop Making Friends - was used brilliantly. The intro was used as they carried Michael's case was lush, cause it's electro sounding and lush, and the chorus being used as the Israel flag was unfolded over his coffin was brilliant and made the bit before meeting Imhotep so cool. And you just felt so sorry for Ziva cause she looks so sad. :(

Then Imhotep is like, 'Oh hai thar!' and we get intros and then Tony is thrown to the pit up against Eli David, Ziva's daddy. And everyone, except Gibbs, seems to have forgotten that Tony can actually be a fucking brill agent, and he gets right under Eli's defences. So much so that he gets a hand around his neck (with Tony then looking at the camera as if to say, 'See? Told you.').

So fast forward to the fight between Ziva and Tony and I just want them to either brawl or bang. Seriously it was amazing. And Tony's realisation that she did love him and her saying, 'Now we'll never know,' was just sadness inducing. But the pressure her dad puts on her, 'Make this your Aliyah, stay here with me,' was harsh (Wiki being kinda lush, says that Aliyah is when Jewish people return to Israel... Like, immigrate... It means Ascend, which is all kinds of cool - I love languages!).

But to end with Tony missing her and Ziva being a beat up in a terrorist place? And getting her Star of David necklace being ripped off her? I had no words to describe how I was feeling. I want Tony and the team to save her even more now. And I hope they save her before her spirit is broken.

Interesting to see that family is so important to Ziva, but with Eli it comes second place (another picture is before it, as if to say, 'My public life is this and is important, family can come second.') And who were the two kids in the pic? I can figure one to obviously be Ziva, but the other two? Michael and Ziva's sister? Cause I'm pretty sure Ari was sent away with his mother...

All that crap happening to Ziva though? Not happy with it, but that episode was amazing! And I can't wait until Mark watches it so then I can squee and stuff. 5 out of 5, just for the fight between Ziva and Tony in Tel Aviv. Such a great ending to a season that went a bit flat and soggy in the middle (wtf was with Knockout and Deliverance? Seriously?!) but ended and started fantastically! :D

In other news, I have cold hands and I'm kinda hungry. Hmm...

So I'm on Eclipse now. New Moon was better than Twilight. I'm up to where Bella is seeing Jacob for the first time in ages because Alice didn't see her going so she could sneak over... Not a great message to have in a book, but I don't like a lot of it. Just... It's quite compelling to read, if only to moan about it afterwards. :: Shrugs :: I dunno.

The party rocked. I will post pictures one day, if only to show off the tutu (I need a picture of the flowers on it, cause I sewed them on, and they look cool). Had a bad day afterwards - got coffee on my fave top - but it was ok by the end of the day as I chilled out and Mark was there too. :)

He's meeting more of the family on the 27th of June. I've pointed him out to family and pointed family out to him, but I've not done a, 'Auntie [name] and uncle [name], meet Mark,' and I really should. :)

I know how I wanna do my hair for the wedding (mine, whenever it will be). You know in Back To The Future, when Lorraine is going to the Enchantment Under The Sea dance, and it's curly and lush? That's what I want. Or her hair when she follows Marty back to Doc's place and it's really pretty... I jut want pretty hair when I get married. Mark just wants to get married. :D

Been invited out on the 30th. Don't think I'll go. Just cause I'd have to get in a car to get there, so I won't get as drunk cause I'd have to travel home. :( I'll have a mini party with me and Mark by ourselves this weekend or something...

Mark's coming over! Eeee! :D

# Oh bugger it. I'm gonna read fanfic. Might unmelt my brain slightly. (10:34 AM May 7th from web)

NCIS made me angry, but not as angry as when my computer suddenly decided it didn't like my portable hard drive any longer. It's ok, and all my data's there, but it doesn't work at home. At work, and probs at Mark's, it's fine. I still have my NaNo stuff (which I lost from the main PC when the computer got sent away to be "repaired", which it wasn't, it's still fucking around). But I've lost a load of my fanfics that I had saved to Word, and a load of my old Kathryn Janeway theatrical_muse stuff... I mean, I still have the LJ account, but it's the principle of it.

...

Is it bad that I could remember the Welsh for principle but not the English? At least my shorts have arrived. If I have to shorten them... Meh. It's for under a tutu. Oh!

I've got a black and red tutu, but the stiching was going all wiggy, so I got mum to sew up the little hole that came from busted stiches and then I sewed on three black fabric flowers, you know, just to cover the join. It looks kinda lush. :D And I customised a top, just a line of sequins (I cheated, they were already in a row, I just sewed them on) and some lace (mum sewed that on; even my tacking is crap). So I'm going to a surprise party on Saturday (my cousin turned 40 either today or earlier on in the week), so I'm wearing a black and red outfit - black top (customised one), black and red tutu, black shorts, red tights with black fishnets over them (under the shorts) and hopefully my black Mary Janes (four inch heels with a platform that I used when I dressed up as an overweight Hermione - I had the tie when I couldn't find my "Slytherin" tie (my old school tie)). Hopefully it'll look cool, and I won't look like mutton dressed as lamb.

:: Looks shiftily :: deltadasher (my sister) is hopefully going as a pirate. I need her to go as a pirate, cause I won't have the confidence to dress up in that outfit cause normally I'm the one in jeans and a t-shirt, but the party is smart casual so... Yeah. Is that outfit (skirt etc) smart casual? Or just weird? @__@

And I need to find my hair dryer, cause when I wash my hair and blow dry it, it goes poofy, which rocks! :D

~~I'm almost tempted to go as Hermione now. It's not dress up, but I would look tidy.~~

Right, better get back to working properly. I just wanted to update as I haven't done so in ages (mostly cause the guy who had the net that Mark shared disconnected it without warning during Sunday night (into Monday morning) and tried to sneak move out without paying the gas bill he owes). Work.

Edit: Oh! And I've started reading New Moon cause Christopher Heyerdahl is in the movie version, and I have a bit of a, 'OMFG it's Todd!' squees for him. On chapter three and it was a slog. Oh well, I have something to read on the trip up at least.

... Phallic strawberries...

I just had a really weird dream.

A few nights ago (not in my dream) I watched Zack and Miri Make a Porno and now some of my weirder dreams are centered around me and my friends making a porno. Which is really weird.

Anyways, I was in America, but I wasn't, and me, Kellie, Ruth, my mum(!), some faceless guys and the boss-man were there, and we'd just finished the first day, where boss-man and Kell did a scene, when we're shown an OS Explorer map of Brooklyn Bridge... Or like a really massive bridge over a big amount of water, and then these monsters come in, looking a bit like James from Twilight (that's a post for another time), but with more werewolfy faces (like, American Werewolf in London sorta mouth). Anyways, it turned into a bit of a movie there, where I was seeing scenes of people running, the bridge falling, and the words, 'Some don't go home at all,' came up in like a sort of silent movie sort of style (words in a frame)... Which was really weird.

So the next day, Kellie comes up to me with this massive rock on her finger and went, 'Guess who just proposed to me?' and I'm like, 'Who?' and she says the name of the boss-man. I just blink a few times and ask, 'Uh, what about boss-lady? You know, the woman you get along with?' and she says, 'Oh, he's gonna sort that out.' Then she bounces off. I get fully dressed (I was in pjs) and put on my make up - black lippy and stuff - when I get Ruth's eyeliners, and she's got yellow, orange, a load of other eyelines and red lip liner, so I take black, metallic green, yellow, orange and the lipliner. I go to the mirror, expecting black lips, when all I see is lip balm on my lips. I rub them together and all of a sudden my lips are turning black from the lippy... So I spend ten minutes trying to get the balck lippy out of the lip balm case when Jake and Ru come in.

So I tell them the good news and Jake's like, 'Oh. Good for her,' and I'm like, 'No it isn't. He's gonna dump boss-lady and she loves him!' And I've suddenly got the black and gree liners on, so I'm about to start the other colours when I woke up... It was really weird in the guys! Really weird. :(

Mark's still sleeping bless him. He looks so cute. :D Think I might wake him up. ;D

I've watched all but one of the Star Wars movies... And I've only liked two. Is this good or bad? Cause I have to say, I actually enjoyed episode 1. And before you all get up in arms about it, I watched 4-6 first, so that way I was watching them in the "right order". Ep 1 and ep 6? Really liked. Not watched 3 yet, gonna probs watch that later or tomorrow... Tomoz probs. Over at Mark's place and I have a bit of a tummy ache... And I'm kinda tired. But yeah... I really am not a Star Wars fan. And I've tried, I really have, but... Ugh. I just keep seeing how everyone's borrowed from the movies (I mean, hi JK Rowling, I see where you got two of the Unforgivables from!) and it's taken away my enjoyment... Although kudos in the last one to Luke for saving his dad. I mean, rock on.

So in conclusion, tomorrow will see me having watched all six Star Wars movies, and not being turned a fan.

In other news, my stomach is making me feel really sick. It's not fun at all, and someone is walking about outside and I don't know who and I don't wanna look cause it could be someone I don't like.
