I should be writing a follow up about my experience at #mcl3, or completing any one of the numerous draft posts I have lined up in the blog back room..

(more…)

I’m obviously at a loose end what with uni being so slow and my course load so light [/sarcasm] so I’ve agreed to take a session at the forthcoming MediaCamp London 3 (twitter tag #mcl3)

(more…)

My immediate family have always been amazed at my ability to live quite happily on very little income – in fact the most miserable I ever was was when I tried to keep 2 jobs going to garner more disposable income. I know this as recently I’ve been culling old posts from this blog and 5 years ago I was miserable, stressed, run down and incredibly overworked and as a result developed ME/CFS.

(more…)

I’ve managed to complete my foundation degree with flying colours and yes I’m damned proud of myself.

(more…)

I really can’t wait for this next month or so to be over – on the one hand YEY I’ll have completed a foundation degree in IT for Multimedia and I’ll be hopping stright onto the third year of a Bsc (hons) IT (entertainment systems) degree in September because my grades are high enough that even failing my current crop of assignments won’t affect automatic acceptance.

(more…)

It’s been soooo long since I’ve done something this bloggy (as in community of bloggers type bloggy) I saw this on the LittleBead blog (which I found following through from her twitter page) who got it from Swirly and despite not knowing the lass (though I’m now following on twitter, gotta love the fellow beaders on the web when you find ‘em) I’m going to do a meme.

(more…)

I know, it’s taken me quite a while but to be fair I’ve been snowed under with work between now and then..

(more…)

This is the song that has been running around in my head for DAYS! Kill me, just kill me now.

No this is not going to be one of those bah humbug type posts – i’m not allowed to bah humbug anymore – I have a child, I’ve now got to embrace the joys of Christmas and foster a belief in santa – something that may eventually lead to a schoolyard kicking as said belief disintegrates, but why borrow trouble eh? We’ve got a good 3-4 years before that happens – and anyway, I’ve found a place that teaches kung-fu to kids..

(more…)

I’m now back at college full time and really playing catchup as far as my assignments go. As well as a research project to write, I have java program to create and 2 websites to build; one for my work based learning project (which is why a few twitters have been about gantt charts and project proposals and the like) and the other is to be for a childrens charity – which is why I’ve chosen to highlight AYME the Association of Young People with ME.

(more…)

My T-mobile contract is up for renewal, I currently have an MDA Vario (aka HTC wizard) and It’s done me proud for the last 3 years or so – but a shiny new toy has caught my eye and I feel it’s time for a change..

(more…)

It’s been pretty hectic since the social media conference, I’ve had furniture delivered, a plumber round to fix ’stuff’ attended an antenatal class with Stef and been to a wedding; after which I had the biggest scare of my life..

(more…)

..Can’t stop smiling!

Today has been a GOOD day! I finally won a nursing chair and stool set on eBay – I’ve been after one of these beauties for weeks but they keep going beyond my limit, today I not only won the auction I got it for half the price all those others had gone for – under £50 in fact.

(more…)

I know, I’ve been a bad blogger, in all honesty I’ve not had the taste for it over the last few months because so much of what I want to say can’t be said, not here, not online. That’s the downside to having a personal blog, every post has consequences. Since becoming pregnant I’ve started culling earlier posts for just that reason – amazing how our views change about things as we gestate eh?! Also lunarpages have had a disturbing amount of downtime over the last few months so even when the taste or urge to blog has been strong, access has not! it’s just fortunate I’m not looking to earn a living from this blog otherwise I’d have been down a fair few sheckles as they sorted themselves out which is why I’m currently looking at other hosts for when I’m due to renew.

The fellah and I have been invited to a gaming weekend in reading this week – featured will be the eagerly awaited Rock Band *happy dances*

(more…)

..I wish *sigh*

Half the interesting ‘new media’ apps are USA based and every website I’ve looked at for things I’ve considered purchasing of late are ’ship to US only’ sites *sniff* ah well, I’ve taken to collecting pretty pictures instead with which to console myself. Let’s face it, I’m unlikely to have the cash to spend on pretty things soon, everyone seems determined to tell me how expensive childrearing will be – like I hadn’t already figured that out for myself!

(more…)

I’m a typical girl in only one respect; I like pretty sparkly things of the jewelled persuasion but no matter how much perusing of the net and local jewellers I may have done I’ve never really found a gem that makes me go ‘OMG I MUST HAVE THAT!’ at least not until today.

(more…)

I’m currently sat in the ‘career planning’ lesson (most pointless lesson on the currculum) and I’m supposed to be blogging on studynet about: (more…)

The latest college assignments had me chuckling; first of all we have to keep a career planning blog, they’re trying to initiate some sort of micro social network within the group with these – at least that’s how it seems. They all have to be public, we are all supposed to keep up to date with each others progress and comment on that progress, they also want us to participate in polls and discussion boards.. This would be all fine and dandy assuming the techie responsible for setting up these career planning blogs had made it possible for us to add new entries *grin*

(more…)

I said to Stef on new years eve that I’d not made any resolutions this year, but as I sat down to write this post I realised that I lied.

(more…)

Hurrah! for internet shopping say I.

Yup, aside from the beady goodness recently purchased from Hobbycraft (just a little hint there for my female relatives, that’s right it’s home made jewelery for you again this year *grin* learn to love it!) Christmas shopping online was practically finished by the end of November, that makes me very happy.

(more…)

Been thinking a lot about life and religion lately – don’t ask me why, these thought percolate through my head on occasion (especially if I’ve spent a lot of time confined to bed)The conclusion I’ve come to is that I think I do believe in God. Not your God of course, because they way I see it no matter the title, nobody has the same God, even if they give him the same name and worship in the same way, we all view her differently.

(more…)

There are times when everybody just wants a hug, it doesn’t always matter where the hug comes from they just need to feel the close physical presence of another person and the comfort it brings – you don’t even need to be upset or worried about anything, there’s just something in the human make-up that craves physical contact.

(more…)

It’s been a mad couple of weeks all told.
There was the rush up to Manchester to make sure all the funding for my course was sorted, it would have been simple and stress free had it not been for the time stood at the side of the M6 in the pouring rain with a non-functioning car - Andy will always be my saviour for driving down to pick us up so that I could make that appointment.

I had an almost argument with my Gran the other day, it’s one we’ve had before because it’s a subject on which we both have strong and opposing views.

(more…)

We got back to Manchester sometime around 3am Wednesday morning, I have to say, I missed my pc.. Not because it’s a great pc – far from it, but because it has all my files and bookmarks in situ, which is why today I sat and weeded out all the useless stuff and dead links I’ve bookmarked over the last three years and added both ‘bookmark duplicate detector‘ and ‘Foxmarks bookmark synchronizer‘ to my list of ‘must have’ firefox add ons.

(more…)

I’ve always written down my thoughts and my feelings, many a time as a kid and young adult I’d sit up late at night scribbling notes into a diary or onto a nondescript pad of A4 paper. Having a blog has just made the process easier, typing is quicker than writing and I can capture my thoughts more fully, editing is simpler; merely a matter of highlighting text as opposed to laboriously copying the same thing over and over again as I refine the message I’m trying to get across.

(more…)

I saw on this mornings news that we apparently lose at least one friend a year.
This means I must have been really careless along the way because I’ve lost far more than that over the last 4 years.. Meh, this move should rectify that little oversight.

(more…)

I’m not entirely sure why but this blog has had an explosion of visitors of late – I can only assume twitter and the socialset site have something to do with it..

(more…)

I signed up with Peopleized in order to suss out it’s potential in the social networking stakes and decided that it doesn’t matter, it’s kind of fun and interesting in it’s own right – as are the people already registered.

(more…)

I’ve just come across this site and I have to say.. What a brilliant idea.

The redfootrevolution is here. There is nothing worse than that crippling sensation at the end of the night if you’ve been wearing heels – I was recently reminded of this after wearing an old pair for the first time in over a year.. Ouch.

(more…)

I’ve discovered that I’m still not completely weaned away from my net addiction. We’ve been camping and not only did I have a complete lack of phone signal (which didn’t really bother me too much) but there was no internet – that did bother me.

(more…)

I’ve been at my dads all week – hence lack of posting or general web presence. You see my dad is still using BT for his net connection – and it’s pants! That and his pc needs reformatting and basically mending with a new one (which Stef will be doing as soon as I get off here)

(more…)

You know, I’ve never ‘got’ the whole ‘web 2.0′ thing. I know there’s a big hue and cry about it, anyone who’s anyone in the net media seems to be throwing out kudos here and opinions there about it but really, it’s just another buzzword.
It doesn’t mean a damned thing – if it did the average surfer would understand what it means instantly – but we don’t.

(more…)

To Laura-Jane & Allan.

It was an absolutely fabulous wedding on Sunday – so fabulous in fact that it’s taken me until today to recover from it *grin*

(more…)

I know, I’m supposed to be working at becoming a better person yada yada yada. I can’t help it though.

(more…)

Twitter is better than any of the social networking sites for finding like minded people to ‘talk’ to, it’s even good for finding random strangers to follow just for the sake of procrastination, The only problem is.. You then start ‘talking’ to those random strangers and develop a relationship of sorts.
As an example, when I first signed up with twitter I’d follow the public time line because of the novelty and a few comments piqued my interest enough to make me ‘follow’ a random stranger – that was Dan.

(more…)

It’s odd isn’t it, that we can appear one way to to a vast majority of people online and yet somehow, should we meet those people, the way we appear is almost totally at odds with that former representation.

(more…)

We went out for my Grandads 65th birthday on Saturday.
It was a pretty good night. Average meal in an ok restaurant followed by an evening at the Grosvenor casino – where my soon to be married cousin LJ decided to try her hand at every game *grin* it was most amusing to watch as the croupier tried to guide her and her fiance through 5 card stud poker.
Every other comment from the poor lass dealing was ‘please keep your cards on the table’ as they leaned back to ask all of us for advice on what to do. She was very nice about it, as were the other couple at the table, she even offered advice on when to fold because they obviously had nothing.. By the time they’d had enough there was quite a crowd gathered around for the show. Though that could just have been LJ’s presence since she is a bit of a stunner and tends to draw a crowd of admirers where ever she goes..
Dad won at the roulette as usual and even we had a flutter – got our taxi fare home so all was well. I don’t think anyone we were with came away with less than they started with (except for Pippa, she learned that she should really never gamble *grin*) so all in all a good night.

(more…)

You see, my previous post was just a fly by thought, since then a few more things have occurred to me that tend to confirm that thought as a valid one.

(more…)

There I was having a pretty interesting dream when, as it dissolved around me, I was forced to realise that the sound of ‘More than a feeling’ by Boston was not in fact coming from the car radio of my dream but was actually reverberating around the bedroom through the floorboards.

(more…)

I know I’ve mentioned freecycle before, it’s a website where people post items they’re giving away on a first come first served basis. I’m a member of the manchester board and in this mornings digest there was a corker of a wanted ad: (more…)

Oh yeah – that’s a heading to grab your attention isn’t it? Men!

Actually, this post has been prompted by a link my fave Ubuntu tech posted on twitter, it had me doing an idle search for a costume after joking to Stef about maybe doing that for the next fancy dress party we attended.

(more…)

As the song goes anyway.

I’m really sick of always being tired and always being in pain, logically I know it’s worse at the moment because of the incipient arrival of certain biological functions – but logic does not enter into it where emotion is concerned.

(more…)

Well, not bad, just rude.
I was just the ‘victim’ of a sales caller – apparantly some of those surveys I participated in led to my number being given out *mental note, if they ask for your number stop doing the survey*

(more…)

That’s the post title on the Family web watch blog where I got tagged for this meme, why was I tagged there? I ‘unno, I read his other blog – the me and my drum one.

(more…)

For today I baked a blinder! Seriously, it may not look all that but it’s soft and moist and MAN is it tasty!
If only I could figure out how to stop the chocolate chips from sinking to the bottom *sigh*

(more…)

You see, on the one hand I’m missing out on the fantastic company of my in-laws (and obviously the love of my life since he’s there without me) on the other, it’s been non-stop karaoke here this weekend.

(more…)

I have proof.. A lass in the bank yesterday asked me if I was over 21.

Obviously I looked at her as if she was insane – didn’t she see the ‘31′ tattoed on my forehead? How could she fail to notice that I am now part of the over 30’s group? Still, I guess Master K has given me the answer to this question *grin* I’m doing enough to hold back the years eh?!

(more…)

I was sent  an email detailing this very thing from a friend, a quick google procured me this link:

Toilet humour: the perils of public loos exposed

(more…)

Well, i’ve recommenced driving lessons – here’s hoping *fingers crossed*

Simon (instructor) reckons I need 10hrs tops so including test fees that’ll be around £240 *sigh* it’s a dear do this driving malarky – and that’s even before I get a car! Still, at least it’ll be of some use in the future when i’m back in work.

(more…)

I’m really loving the singsnap experience. Have spent most of this afternoon in the chatroom, it’s LITERALLY karaoke in your front room, everyone takes it in turn to sing a song – we had a bit if a Beatles thing going on at one point started by Chris from Masachusetts, mucho fun – especially since Stef decided to give up and join in when it was my turn to sing.

(more…)

..The latest things to keep me occupied online.

Facebook is probably something most of you already know about (and if so, why have you not invited me into your network *shakes head in disgust*) it’s a social network site but it certainly beats faceparty/ facepic/ lookitsme and the like hands down.
It has the option to create photo albums, leave ‘notes’ (very twitter like) and you can leave comments (like myspace but without the bugs and viruses) it’s a very friendly piece of kit and me likee muchly, I’ve also found several people on there that I lost contact with a while back through the groups option. Yup, if you’re not on facebook you’re wasting your time *grin*

(more…)

That’s what I’m off to see this evening. I’ll be at the trafford centre by 4pm so we can buy our tickets for the 5pm show. I’m guessing we’ll go straight to karaoke from there since it’s Kay and Rob I’m accompanying to see the spirit of the horse.

(more…)

I didn’t get to have my driving lesson after all, pain interrupted my plans.

Seriously, I’m starting to feel a little paranoid, though to be fair that could just be residual pms. But since I’ve been trying to sort out getting a licence for a number of years now and each time I’ve been thwarted by finances or health issues, I am really considering the thought that just maybe it’s not meant to be..
So, I turned to the net to ease my woes, and it worked, I calmed down, life seemed brighter – the way it always does online until microsoft kicks in and the pc crashes or refuses to boot up the program I need and taunts me with the pretty blue screen of death.
Seriously.. Who the hell chose BLUE as the default colour for that screen? Surely red is a far more appropriate choice?! Or green? Green is supposed to be calming isn’t it? I’m sure that’s the real reason computers used to have green screens (at least my dads did, I think it was an amstrad.. But I digress..)

(more…)

That’s right, today I finally recommence the driving lessons that going into hospital last year stopped.

(more…)

Yup 31 today. I am now officially classed as ‘early thirties’ (thanks for pointing that out Steviebabes, I’ll find a suitable revenge soon don’t you worry..)

(more…)

I got a call at the nth hour last night to join Kay for karaoke, it was a fun night – although I did walk into the pub just as a drunk was heaving a chair at a disabled guy.. Gotta love the locals in Swinton.

(more…)

I, as a few of you already know, absolutely adore going to a karaoke, not just because I can sing (although I’ve been accused of this in the past) but because of the atmosphere a great karaoke can bring. It’s not all about THE BOOK and getting up, although having a cracking selection of songs is important, but it’s the KJ and the other punters who can make or break a night.

(more…)

I’ve not been fully with it on the communication front for the last few days, my online experince has been pared down to about 4 twitters and the deletion of spam from my email accounts.

(more…)

I found this quite amusing, according to them next door, the wanker downstairs seems to think that we are responsible for his door getting the boot the other week.

(more…)

Wondering why i’ve been so quiet the last few days? meh, betcha didn’t even notice lol

As it happens we were at a lovely campsite in Wales, you have to know it’s there to find it though – if it wasn’t for Simon leading the way we’d have been circling Llangollen for hours looking for it!

(more…)

A belated St Georges day to you all – I received a politically incorrect text this morning that made me chuckle: (more…)

I went to the jobcentre plus this morning for my appointment with the DEA adviser, she’s a lovely lass but it was a bit of a wasted trip because the computer system was down and there was not a lot she could tell me without it.
Story of my life that, I’m beginning to think someone somewhere really doesn’t want me working. I asked for the appointment over a month ago *sigh* figures..
I’ve been in the position a few times over the last three years of feeling fit enough to re-enter the rat race and then I’ve fallen flat on my face with a full on relapse so the jobsearch plans were shelved.
This time I decided that, rather than wait around until I feel well enough to find a job, I’ll go in anyway, tell ‘em my limitations and get them to find a job that works around me instead of vice versa.

(more…)

Since I’ve been such a misery all day I felt a little effort was needed in order to shake off those blues before bed. Stef started the process with our little trip to the trafford park driving range (open til 10pm, £10 for 100 balls and the hire of 2 clubs, it’s one to remember) but i’m still not back to cheerful so..

(more…)

Nothing cheers you up more than whacking a few balls over the driving range.

Nice fresh air, the sound of grunts and curses intermingle with laughter as people happily stand in their bays and just hit out as far as they can go.
Best cure for a bad mood I can think of – especially when you hit your stride and those little white spheres just sail into the distance with a satisfying CRACK!

(more…)

At least that’s how it looks. The noisy neighbour is back, but he’s brought a removal van with him.. Please let it all be as it appears! I could almost dance for joy, let’s hope the next tenant is a little more considerate eh?!

(more…)

Very odd happenings around here.

Our neighbour appears to have vanished. We heard a load of banging last night but ignored it – he’s always banging doors, we’ve remarked a number of times on the hardiness of them the way he slams about.
Since we’re just ignoring him after the incidents mentioned in that there link we thought nothing of it and heaved a sigh of relief when it stopped, since it then went quiet we settled in to watch a film and thought no more of it.

(more…)

Yes, yes.. I know it’s shallow (as Stef made a point of telling me when he started reading over my shoulder) but the day in which we celebrate the arrival of my squalling, blood and mucal covered self into this world is close at hand.
I know, you already knew this, (I can see you checking that diary Claire..) but this post is not aimed at you, this post is a request to the odd family member who sneaks a peak occasionally:

(more…)

(check the back history for details; post #1 #2 #3 #4)

(more…)

I WON!!!

*grin* so yah boo sucks to daddy dearest (his response to my text by the way was “No-one likes a big head” *snicker*)

(more…)

He rang up the other day with a couple of ‘tips’ for the grand national, I don’t gamble as a rule (i’m too poor) but he lives for it, horses are his lifesblood – if he could I swear he’d own a string of racehorses. Anyhow, now I feel like I have to lay on a bet or 2, this feeling has been exacerbated by the arrival of Ian coming to drag Stef up to the bookies.
This being so I’ve thrown a whole £7 between 3 horses (all £1.25 each way bets, man I’m such a risk taker LOL) I picked one by myself : ‘Silver Birch’ just on the name (I love those trees, my favourites after the lovely willow) the other 2 were the hot picks my daddy dearest urged me to bet on ‘Idle talk’ and ‘monkerhostin’ then Ian piped up and told me to pick one of the 100/1ers and he’d stick on a bet in my name, obviously I had to choose ‘knowhere’ had to be at 100/1 with a name like that didn’t it?.

(more…)

Apparantly so..

(more…)

By ‘here’ I of course mean my email address, I managed to jump on the gmail bandwagon pretty early on when it was considered a great thing to get an invite (just before everyone had so many they couldn’t give ‘em away) now I may have to be changing things a bit according to a post I just read on the wiredhound blog (another MBL browse by)

(more…)

This letter says everything you need to know about ME/CFS

(more…)

That post title cracks me up – totally ripped off from Master K but I’m sure he won’t mind.. You don’t right? You love me, right? ..Right?

(more…)

I received an email earlier from Dio over at Quasi Fictional asking me to write a post answering the question “What is a blog to you?” since said email was also peppered with such flattering phrases as ‘guru blogger’ and the insinuation was made that I am one of those almighty figures referred to as a ‘renowned blogger’ (I know, I nearly wet myself laughing at this point too) I figured, what the heck – a post is a post right?

(more…)

You’ve gotta laugh really, I clicked on a twitter link and was directed to woot.com. The item on display was the black and decker scumbuster 2 piece set:

(more…)

I went to the doctors this morning to get something to help me sleep, he’s given me a months worth of Phenargan (not liking the look of the possible side effects though)

(more…)

..Are SOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooo much quicker at sorting things out than Manchester council.

Seriously, I recieved a phonecall at 09:05 this morning in response to the email I sent on saturday night (the complaint I made just before all hell broke loose) The lass on the phone said that it was definitely a serious matter but unfortunately they had to follow procedure – if there had been any evidence that he was involved in the door battering incident then he’d be out on his ear now, as it is..
I’m to fill out a diary. That’s right, a diary.
He gets told a complaint has been made about him (probably take him 30 seconds to realise by who) he then gets a formal warning and a letter drop will be made to the surrounding neighbours asking if they have heard anything or would like to also make any complaints about him.

(more…)

Ok, so I got a crime number from the police, the joiners came around and temporarily fitted a new lock and made an interim repair to the front door, we’ve a new one on order but for now I’m not leaving the place empty until it’s been fitted, no matter how secure they say the repair is.

(more…)

I’ve just had my front door kicked in by the police.

Why?

Because Stef and Ian went downstaits before to get that TWAT to turn his music down (at gone 1am) so I could go to bed and sleep.
20 minutes later the front door goes, I go down, 2 lads in balaclavas with a large piece of wood (possibly a bat) are stood there demanding to know where my boyfriend was. I just said fuuck that and slammed the door, managed to turn the lock before they got to it, and hoofed it up to the phone and 999.

(more…)

I really need my mind to kick into fully functioning mode so I can update wordpress, add all the little widgets I’ve had my eye on – and more importantly.. Get my twitterbox up and running.
I can’t believe I’m admitting this but I think I’m hooked on twitter.
It’s just random people spouting random crap about whatever they happen to be thinking as they sit at the keyboard – or not, and yet I keep going back for more. I have zero interest in what joe bloggs ate for lunch, or even on the dilemma of susie neutrals wardrobe choices.. But I can’t turn the damned thing off!

(more…)

Don’t make me laugh!

The government are apparently eager to get all of us malingerers off incapacity benefit and back on the work force – at least that’s the story..

(more…)

It seems life does come full circle – even when it’s a virtual life.

I’m blaming Master K for this of course, he talked me into joining the twitter thing which in turn had me noticing a few other people on there, this in turn had me checking their blogs – which then had me link travelling.

(more…)

Sadly not in the ‘home’ sense of the word but I have taken the slightly scary first step of looking for work.

(more…)

What a night – seriously, it’s been an absolute corker – I can’t even remember the last time i wanted to blog about a night in the Bull *grin*

If this hits the right buttons you are. Cheers Steve

AN OPEN LETTER TO

MR. JAMES THATCHER

(more…)

Today I have reigned supreme in the kitchen.. Only because himself wasn’t here of course, but supremely reigning I was indeedy.
I have made the lightest, tastiest banana and pecan cake ever. Seriously – it’s to die for. It could be because I used half the sugar I normally do, it could be because I used eggs laid by the most cossetted chickens in the country (now hows that for knowing where your food came from eh?!) or maybe it’s because I finally got wise to the vagaries of our cooker and managed to not burn the bottom whilst leaving the middle undercooked (as usually happens)

(more…)

..Sum me up in 1000 words.

Or not *grin* I was interviewed today by Sean (some of you may remember him, he was the filthy beast with whom I used to live before getting this here lovenest with my honey) he’s now studying journalism at Salford uni and has to interview ’someone interesting’ apparantly my CFS/ME issues come under that heading lol
Whaddaya know! Here was me thinking my humdrum life was of no interest to anyone but you little lot (all 6 or 7 of you regular visitors.. and by the way, how come only 3 of you ever comment? I love that K, Kelly and more recently HK have found something to say – but why do you others lurk so..?)

(more…)

recieved this via email from the lovely Steve.. Is it true?

My MiL made an interesting observation actually, not about cfs/me etc but about the mindset of people these days.

(more…)

So I didn’t get DLA, I’m not shocked, the medical assessment was hellish and I knew in my gut I’d be refused any more financial help. It sucks, just because I look normal and healthy i’m obviously faking it as far as they’re concerned, they don’t see me on the days i need to rest up for 90% of my awake time!

(more…)

I truly am jealous of the new gaff Stefs sister and her boyfriend are in the process of moving too – it’s HUGE.

(more…)

I’ve just realised, I read Jamies blog a lot.

(more…)

It is absolutely gorgeous out there today. Bit cold still, but the front room seems so warm and inviting when the sun streams through like this – and to think I used to avoid the sun where possible (well, ok so I’m not planning on going outside in it for long, but i’m not hissing behind closed curtains either)

(more…)

I know, Rob Zombie is not the best artist to listen to before bed – especially that specific track – it’s all Stefs fault though.
He’s playing CoH again and apparently they now have a streaming radio to listen to and he keeps asking me if i’ve ever heard of the artists on there *tuts* Obviously I had to bring up my ’stefsout’ playlist to prove I’m not as woefully behind the times as he is.. Hmm..  I think I’m starting to warm to this gaming addiction if he’s finally beginning to lean towards my taste of things instead of the usual whingy indie stuff he tends to prefer *grin*

(more…)

In an abrupt change of mood from the last few days i’m going to bed full of the joy of life – no I don’t mean i’m preggers, I am however pretty happy right now.
