So, around the start of June, I moved into the shared flat that Mark was living in. Sometime this month, we're moving to the upstairs flat, where we don't have to share with anyone! Our first proper place! :D Doesn't have the funky kitchen of this flat we're in now, but we have our privacy, so we can walk around in whatever we want, whenever we want, cause we're living together in a flat that we're not sharing with anyone else! :D

Can anyone say, Party?! XD

Who the fuck steals a tin opener? Since I've moved in we (as in me, Mark and Craig, the other flat mate) have lost three tin openers. We've gone out, come back and lo and behold, no fucking tin opener. Who the fuck steals a tin opener? Who steals three? We've spoken to the landlord about the door that doesn't always close by itself, but all he's done is change the lock. It's the fucking Yale lock thingy itself that needs looking at!

And the flat smelt of a deodorant that we've not smelt since I moved in... Since the other tenant legged it... But it could have been Craig and new man'fume... Maybe I should look in the shed for the tin openers... :|

Other news, I drove to Cardigan today after having stupid people in the shop. It was fun and chill outy. Also made me wanna listen to Busted, so I'm reripping my CDs, cause it fucked up the first time but I could never be bothered to redo them.

Urgh.

I really hate it when I'm a dick to Mark. :(

Oh darling people of LJ, I need some help.

My computer needs a DVD drive that isn't region 1. It's region 1 cause my darling other half decided to switch more often than he could count, and as such made it stick to region 1, regardless of my use of DVD Genie (which makes it so then you can switch regions all the time). My question is, if I keep the old drive for region 1, and put in a new one for region 2, would the computer recognise the new one as a new one, thus it has it's five switches, or will it go, 'Ha, no wai!' and make that region 1 too?

I am getting thoroughly pissed off at having to watch my stuff in Mark's room. Hi, let me show all the ways I'm dependent on this room for fucking entertainment! I didn't want to fucking watch the eps of Doctor Who where they reset Donna, but when I mentioned I wanted to watch a Donna ep, Mark grabbed the mopuse, closed things that were running in the background then, even after I said I didn't want to watch that episode, he needled me to put it on! I've had enough of not getting to chose.

Fonna sleep now.. Naight!!! :D

Rach xxx!!!! :D

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!

Rach xxx

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. :(

Waiting for ljdq to update. It make I larff.

I saw Ruth and her family today so I got to tell her that I'm moving in with Mark, cause she is the lushest customer person ever. She's so funny and funky! :D So we all got happy excited and yeah. She kicks ass! :D

It's all dark and yucky here now. I've been spoiled by the sunshine. Damn.

Anyone else doing The Porn Battle? I wanna get some smut writing practice in, and this sounds like a great idea. :D

Anyways, uh... Yeah. Bye! :D

Dear flisties, can you please spare a moment and fill out a poll for a friend? He wants a 'crapton' of answers. All you have to do is click a circle... Well, read the question first, but you know what I mean. It's a cool poll. You'll like it. :D

And now to look up stuff about Pokemon. Platinum has sucked out my soul!!! :D

Rach xxx

PS Only a few more days until I'm with Mark!!! Excited but scared slightly. :D

Oh well, I now have an excuse not to go out drinking with people. Sixth of June, I'm moving out. :D It's only across town and it's a room in a shared flat, but I'll be with Mark! :D We're both excited. :D

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.

Pokémons me thinks.

Rach xxx

Minitop not dead, but I'm at Mark's so using this comp to update etc. Gonna watch movies later.

I went to Aber today and I got black lipstick, loads of earrings, a t-shirt and food. And we went to Costa (coffee place) and they do decaff!!! I was so happy, cause I love Costa coffee, even if no-one else does. :) So yeah, got some nice stuff... Had to walk from Morrisons into Aber proper (it's deffo a mile, if not a bit longer), and then I walked around Aber for ages... Went to the sex shop - they had big girl stuff! I was so pissed off cause I had no money left. So next time I go Aber way, I am saving for at least two paychecks.

Driving was ok, but I need to use my mirrors more. Cause I don't... And that's bad. And for the record, I hate reverse parking.

So I'm working tomorrow. Will probably get some crap from the boss about something... Don't care though, cause I have black lipstick. I might not wear it, but I have it, and as such life will be good.

Pissed off that my cherry connies aren't comfy on the toes after all the walking I did. :(

lastat_the_vamp, gym was closed. Got times wrong. Going driving. See you soon.

I had a dream that David Hewlett was captain of a University Challenge team, except he was older... Kinda like Rodney in the Last Man episode (uh... end of season 4)... And then I was helping save this village from bad people with Sheppard and I think Sam Carter... And there was many explosions, some of them blue. It was good but kinda twisted.

And I woke up Mark with my talking... Or he woke me up while I was trying to figure out why David Hewlett was on University Challenge looking kinda old and grey...

Driving tomorrow. Mum is so much better to go out with! Seriously. When I stalled, I didn't feel as if the whole world came to an end, I just felt like a learner driver... It was great. :D

Gym visiting tomorrow. :D I really like the gym, and also, I CAN BEND MY KNEES!!!

Ok, that sounds kinda weird, but just hear me out. You know how some people can slowly bend at the knees in that uber sexy (but kinda slutty) way, like the Pussycat Dolls? I can do that again! It's not such a great look at my size, but Mark's eyes were on stalks this evening. :D So that made me feel goooooooooooood! :D

But ye gods. I ate at 8, and I'm hungry now (it's 10:35pm). This is not fun!!! :(

As I was telling Mark earlier, if they had dance classes around here, I'd go to that and the gym. Sounds weird, but I do like doing things... I just take a long time to actually get myself together if I don't have anything planned. But, going to the gym? Mum and I plan when we're gonna go and it helps, cause I think, 'Gym tonight, chill tomorrow, gym next day,' and I'm trying to walk more too... It just isn't working much.

I think I've just crashed my Windows Media Player... I don't think it could handle the influx of Rachel music (I have a lot, trufax). Hmm, resetting just made me forget why I went on it to begin with... Meh, Lady Gaga on now. It's actually a great album. I forgot how much I love new music. It's like my drug or something. :D

Right, music onto phone, then I might go to bed. Lesson at 10:30 with Ralph... Probs gonna do junctions and stuff. :) I kinda freaked mum out... I did one junction in second gear... I need to learn to slow down. :)

Now to listen to bad music. :D

THINK POSITIVE MEME

At work. It's sunny. Gonna go to the party - dad made a point, revenge is a dish best served cold, like gespaztchio soup (so spelt wrong). However, something like this happens again, Rach will not be nice at all.

Tonight, I'm off to an 18th party of a friend. Mark is amazing cause he's happy for me to go off and party without him. I love him so much. :D

Best get back to work. You ain't seen me, roight?

So after having some sleep, I figured out how to work my download wizard thing... I'm gonna stay up to make sure it starts at 2:05 though... Just in case... Gives me time to type and stuff...

Mark left at nine. :( I was feeling crap (still do, stomach feeling as if its been kicked in and my heart in my throat, god knows why) and he had stuff to sort out. So I'm going over tomorrow, and I'm gonna make sure we both enjoy ourselves (I was supposed to have a massage! V displeased with my bod I can assure you).

So where is everyone? I feel lonely!

Rach xxx

PS I'm gonna go make a Sam icon... I feel like I need one.

Oh hai thar uber friendlies of LJ land! I need some help. No, not in the, 'How do I calculate Pi?' way (although Caz and Rodney helped me out) but in the, 'I have unlimited download during the hours of 2am and 7am. How do I set up downloads to download then, without my having to be at the computer?' way. So, LJ friendlies:-

I have unlimited downloads during the hours of 2am and 7am. How do I set up my computer to download things in that window of time without my having to be at the computer? All comments and tips will be appreciated, and will make Rach a very happy Rach as she would then be able to watch Amanda with her dark hair and English accent. :D

Work tomorrow at 10am. I wish Mark would hurry up and get his net online. Meh, I love him to bits.

Now, first ep of Sanctuary (where Rachel jumped about like a little puppy when two Atlantis names popped up in the credits...)(And why is Google Chrome saying that Rachel is spelt wrong? Stupid fucks...).

Rach xxx

PS I am loving Amanda Tapping in this. God help me she's cute... But the hat makes her look dowdy... Meh, she rocks hard core!!!

Mark's gone over to his parents house for the morning. He offered for me to go too but I woulda been all pouty grr on their sofa, so I didn't think it would be a good idea.

So yeah, Merry Christmas everyone. I hope you all had fun. I did. :D Shit I love opening prezzies, and I'm always the first one up (although, I did nap from 8:15 - 8:45 after waking up at something stupid like 6:30ish...). So, swag is under the cut...

( I should really get to know my RL friends better, cause they know me too well... )

So Chrimbo day I sat with Mark and we watched tv. We missed the first 20 mins of Doctor Who! (We were watching X-Files at the time...) Dinner was good - we had beef, cause I can complain for Wales if we have turkey, cause I hate turkey (except for mini kievs, otherwise turkey's dry and horrible), and then we had loads of pudding (Christmas pud and ice cream). Mark was telling me how his appetite had exploded, but we soon brought it back down again.

Boxing Day, me, Mark and Ruth went out town, to see what was happening - bugger all. So we went to Somerfield, and I got Happy Feet, The Dark Knight, Wall-e and Rugrats Go Wild on DVD. Mark got Sky High (the one about superheroes in school), Wedding Singer and something else... Then we came home and watched Finding Neverland (I cried, even though I watched it on the 23rd on tv), Wall-E (I really liked it actually), Rugrats Go Wild (I loved Wild Thornberries as a kid), The Dark Knight (which wasn't as good as I expected, and a guy movie that tried to hide it's guy-ness but didn't) and Happy Feet (I hated it when they were nasty to Mumble, poor kid).

...

Seriously, Dark Knight? Good acting (not just from Heath Ledger, but from Gary Oldman as well) and some good costumes (yeah, I know they're only normal clothes, but they looked good) but overall? Didn't do it for me. We watched it all, Mark quite happy, and I was there thinking, 'Wtf is with the voice? If he doesn't want people to know who he is, he shouldn't be bloody throwing gala fundraisers for people who might recognise him!' And we started talking (over the movie) about how much I liked Cat Woman in the tv show (not knowing properly that Eartha Kitt was dead, even though dad had told me that morning - yeah, I know, I'm a doorknob!) and that Batman was better than Superman, cause he was doing all this without superpowers that he got from being an alien or what have you.

So yeah, movie fest yesterday, food fest the day before, and today? I get a few hours without him, before getting him again before taking him to the train station and not seeing him again for ages. :( But we will survive. We'll get through this, because we always do, because we love each other.

So now I'm gonna go on an Amazon splurge. Wish me luck. :D

Rach xxx

Sleep tonight. Go to work in the morning in a skirt/dress (probs dress, cause it's easier) then, at 3:25, pick up Mark from the train station and spend Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day and Saturday with him, before he goes back Saturday afternoon.

I hope everyone has a great Christmas this year and I'll probably list all the swag prezzies I got. (Seriously though, Wendy, the boss, she's given me like four packages... Poss five, can't remember, and I've only given her one prezzie with two items in it... I just hope she's not given me anything expensive, cause... It doesn't bear thinking about it...)

So yeah, Merry Christmas peeps, and if I'm not too shagged out, I shall post soon. :)
