Forgot if I was in early today, so I called the office (I never call the office) basically cause my brain was mush. In at 12:30.

Children of Earth. End of 3x04 made me sad. End of 3x05 hit me more. :(

Brekkie! :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?

Death and spiders.

Gmail, LJ, Facebook.

Anywhere... Oh! I might actually be stepping inside a Hilton in May... Cousin is having a party.

Meme, about movies, happily ganked from boombangbing

( Movie Meme )

Now, all the SG-1 fans, go read fic! These fics actually, cause they rock. :D

Now, to read Sam and Jack and their adventures! :D

I will send a handmade gift to the first 5 people who leave a comment here on my LJ. The gift could be anything, but you will receive it within 365 days (probably sooner). The only thing you have to do in return is "pay it forward" by making a similar agreement on your livejournal or blog.

I stole from Las, who rocks. :) So yeah, bring it on. :)

:: Goes back to working ::

You ain't seen me, right?

Rach xxx

I'm up uber early because I have a cold, and I couldn't sleep, and I had What Lola Wants stuck in my head cause of Zia. So I think I'm gonna write for a while until, at least, someone else is awake, then I can have a shower without feeling guilty of waking anyone up.

And also, if I wait until someone else is up, I can have a shower and have a cup of coffee waiting for me when I get out. :D But if I shower now, I can straighten my hair before work... Meh. I don't have to be in until nine. Well, five to nine technically... Oh. I can have brekkie today! :D Not that I don't normally have brekkie, it's just I'm not usually hungry when I get up, so when I do eat, I force it down and feel icky.

Ugh... Ok, now it's 7:10. I've been up since before 5. I'm getting tired, and I'm gonna die at work today, but I'll go. I'm a woman, and women don't complain about colds.

Ok. 8am. Shower now. Then brekkie. Been reading fanfic. Need a clearer nose. Ugh.

Rach xxx

NaNo? 1932 until I hit 30k. Yeah, I kick ass. :D

Post these instructions with the picture.

Pardon the crappy quality. I took it on a mobile. Oh the fun and frolics(!)

Snurched from rainpuddle13

I will write a drabble (100 words exactly) for the first ten people to comment and ask for one. In return, you must post this in your journal--if you feel so inclined. You may request the character and/or pairing - though I can't promise I will write them in a relationship - for the following fandoms: Harry Potter, Star Trek: Voyager, Stargate Atlantis, NCIS.

Proper post about my silly family to follow (cause OMG they are silly! :D But kinda annoying too...)

Rach xxx

Grabbed from the amazing kejsarinna.

Everyone has things they blog about. Everyone has things they don't blog about. Challenge me out of my comfort zone by telling me something I don't blog about, but you'd like to hear about, and I'll write a post about it. Ask for anything: latest movie watched, last book read, political leanings, thoughts on yaoi, favorite type of underwear, life experiences etc. Repost in your own journal so that we can all learn more about each other.

I'm 21 in just over an hour! (Technically, I don't turn 21 until 3:45 in the morning... But that's kinda stupid saying it so I shall stick to the original thought) Wendy gave me two bags full of stuff (that have paper on top so then I can't see what she's given me) that I can't open until tomorrow. That's ok... But giving it to me at 2:10 in the afternoon? That's just torture!!! I just had moments of squealing, 'I wanna open my presents!!' but I've been good. Not opened any presents or cards... I do want my prezzies though.

Going out tomorrow night. Cocktails at the Kingshead. Shall be fun! :D

:: Hugs her flist :: Love you all. :D

1. Reply to this post, and I will pick five of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon squee. Whoo!

And you know what, it is a never ending cycle! :D

( The icons my darling Dorito Addict chose! )

Now, I go type up fic chapters. Cause I is all about the hits my fics get. :D

Rach xxx

PS. The cut for once is ramble worthy... Go read! :D

Just a meme, cause I'm not really awake.

( Sleepy Rachel )

61... Not bad. There's loads there I wanna watch, but never really got around to doing.

It's so sunny here. It's amazing. I'm just so happy. I hate winter cause I get so depressed and yucked up, but summer is perfect. Sunshine is amazing, even if a moment in it burns me.

Well, not just a moment, but you know what I mean. I'll have to put on sunscreen before I go out (although yesterday there was a storm with loads of rain... I hate storms!). It's just amazing to turn my head and out there is bright sunlight reflecting on the houses across the street, amazingly clear blue skies and, if I didn't have my music on, I'd hear birds singing. It's just great. I love summer! :D

I just don't love it enough to get burnt.

Best go shower before work. I really can't be fagged, it's too nice out, but what's gotta be done has gotta be done. Maybe I'll do the windows, something nice for the boss to come back to.

Rach xxx

PS Beat It by Fall Out Boy? Great cover!!! :: Boogies ::

Snaggled from seramercury... Thanks toots. :D

( Stargate SG-1 or Atlantis? )
So, I've been killing zombies, weird mutations of bugs, giant monkeys and weird dogs. Yes, I have been playing Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles... I'm only on easy and it's tough man! The last boss, this giant thing with lasers? I can barely scratch it without getting myself killed, and I've lost my health stick (yes, I know it's called a First Aid spray, but Health Stick is much more appropriate!) and he's a wanker to beat... And I only get like a fraction of files when I go through levels... I have half of the files in Ada's chapter (there's four files and I have two) and Nemesis is no longer a wanker to beat... UC is great!!! D

Going over to see Mark today... Chloe's over too, so I get to see her. Mark's got her to call me Auntie Rachel... It's totally sweet, but a bit off putting at the same time... I wasn't expecting to be called Auntie Rachel until I was in my mid twenties early thirties (I'm the eldest so I'm more likely to have children before my siblings... But Mark's the youngest, and Chloe's the eldest of the next generation so it's like :: wide eyed wonder :: ). And then tomorrow I'm spending the night. Ruth's coming over for a few hours to watch movies, but I get to have Mark all to myself. We'll get to sleep in the same bed together for the first time in months... I can't wait!

But anyways, I need to have a shower... And find clothes. Joyful. Meh, a shirt with a t-shirt over it works... And a skirt (Mark hasn't seen me in a skirt for months)... Yessum.

Oh. I finished It yesterday! The end was a bit of an anticlimax, but up to when they kill It it's a good book! :D And it only took me a few months. Lol. Meh, I finished it. :)

Shower!!!

kejsarinna, who I narfled this from, picked these five icons.
( Pretties )

Life's been ok. Nothing much to report... Getting new walking boots tomorrow (pretty blue ones)... Oh! I have pics of my glasses (the new ones, that took over a month to arrive... wankers) Lookie here! Okies, technically not my pic, but I'm in it, so yaayness. The glasses fucking rock!!! :D

Anyways, pretty blue boots tomorrow and then I'll have comfy shoes (for the first time since my blue/white trainers crapped out on me), for not a huge amount (if I was a cutsomer almost a third of my paycheck would go on them, that kinda price... but I don't make much anyways so meh). Who else is working tomorrow? I know a few of my RL friends aren't (lucky cows) but I am, and so's my dad...

Meh, I'm gonna go read some, and then write some more Spring Fling fic, then practice my guitar playingness... (I can play many chords :D). The bloke said that I was ok to do his slightly more advance class in September and I only had FIVE weeks learning with him and the class, whilst the other two went for the whole ten weeks... Ok, I was Chris there (Chris drama let me have the rest of her time, cause she wouldn't be there) but I learn loads and I can play House of the Rising Sun... Not very well, but I can kinda play it. Can't play bar chords though, they fucking hurt my wrist... And I hold my guitar wrong but meh, it was so fucking fun!!!

So now, fic, then fic writing, then guitar then some sleep... Yaay! :D

Rach xxx

Comment, and I will give you a letter. Then, you have to list 10 things you love that start with the letter I assign you.

katana137uk gave me the letter L.

1. Life On Mars (and now Ashes to Ashes): Oh God I love Life On Mars. Can't have a huge sit down of it, but somehow it's always on the edges of my consciousness. Sam, even though he was a wet blanket, was a cool guy, but Gene Hunt is a God. I like that he's misogynistic and abrupt, he has his morals and he's a good copper and hell, if there were police men like that now, we wouldn't have the crap that we do have happening! :: Cough ::
2. Live and Let Die by Wings. I don't like Macca much, nor do I know a lot about him and Wings, but Live and Let Die is an amazing song. Letitia Dean did her Paso Doble to it (or was it the Tango? One or the other) and it was just so OTT and great. Such an amazing song!
3. Lascivious. The word is amazing. :D
4. Love. I'm in love, I love being in love, I love the man I love. Love is a cool, funky thing! :D
5. Lace. As in the material. Love lace, espesh lace undies. It's stupid, but I love the stuff.
6. Lying Is The Most Fun a Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off by Panic! At The Disco. It's just an amazing title for a song, plus P!ATD rock so much!
7. Layering. Layering your clothes just is such godsend. Whoever thought of it, I take my hat off, cause OMG thank you! You've made me shave weight off my arms with your style idea!
8. Leyla by Eric Clapton. Great song. :)
9. Lists. I may not act it, but I love lists. There is just something so calming and organised in having a list. Even if it's just a list of music that I have, I love lists.
10. LJ. Not been here loads recently, but I do love being here. I hardly comment, but I love everyone on here, and I care about you all, even if I don't say anything... LJ rocks!

I had my first guitar lesson yesterday! It was so fun, and I was the only girl and the guy said I was doing good for a first timer. I had so much fun, and I used Mitzy! (My guitar? Mitzy :D) So now I go practice before the Brits get shown! :D

Brits tonight, and Rufus is up for an award!!! Rock on man!
