Decided to do mission101_2009, as an incentive to get things done!
The only problem is I only have 63 things on it at the moment.
There are lots of things I want to do, but because I'm moving into my own house next month [!!:D] I don't have the money for dance lessons/visiting other countries/going to concerts no matter how much I want to!
I'm going to leave the rest til I move in, then I'll know how much money I have, and what household chores I need motivation to do!

Edit: Added a few more goals - Upto 67 now!
Edit 2: List is complete

( The List )

Happy birthday to anethema_device for tomorrow, early cause I won't be around tomorrow!


On that note - I'm going on holiday tonight so I won't be around for a week! If you post/see any lj entries you feel I should read plase link me! Don't worry about spoiling me for Torchwood - watching it will be the first thing I do when I get back, before I read my emails!

WHAT IS WITH BARROWMANS RUNNING?

LOLOL it makes me laugh everytime.



I'm saving my proper reviews for after the whole week's finsihed - although then I'll be on holiday, so it'll be two weeks!

*is hyperventilating*

OMFG HOW GOOD WAS THAT?!?

It's my sister's birthday today, so I went round to see her and give her the presents off me and Gary. She showed me what Matt had brought her. A ring. Which is the EXACT SAME RING I SHOWED HER AND MATT A FEW WEEKS AGO AND SAID I WANTED AS MY ENGAGMENT RING.

I'm a bit pissed off about this cause they both knew that it was the one I wanted, and it hopefully probably won't be that long beofre we're getting enagaged.

I'm sorry, but what have I just watched?

What a wankfest. That was quite possibly the worst finale ever.

That is all.

My google-fu is failing me - if I buy the Sims 3, do I need to have Sims 1 & 2 installed to play it?

Cause for some reason best known to themselves 1&2 won't install on the laptop or the computer. I assume to laptop doesn't have enough memory, and maybe the computer is too...? IDK. It's very annoying...

Just watched last weeks Robin Hood.

( Slight Spoliers )

Comment and I'll list three of your fandoms. Then you answer the following questions for each fandom.

01. What first got you into this fandom?
02. Do you think you'll stay in this fandom or eventually move on?
03. Favorite episodes/book/films/etc.
04. Do you participate in this fandom (fiction, graphics, discussion)?

Buffy
1. Gary wanted to watch them, as his uncle had all the dvds. I was not at all intersted, and then when I actually gave it a chance, I loved it! I liked it a lot better once Angel had gone
2. Keep watching the episodes definately!
3. Once More With Feeling, obviously. ANd the one where they all lose their memories, and Spike thinks he's Giles' son. Hahah. ANd lots of others. I've only watched them all once, I need to see them a few more times.
4. Nope. I don't weven think I'm on a Buffy lj group.

Harry Potter
1. Mum brought me the first and second books for Christmas, just before it all exploded and got really popular. Again, I was a little bit dubious before I started reading, but as soon as I opened the book I was hooked! I got everyone hooked on them! ANd even managed to make my sister and her boyfriend queue up at midnight for the 7th one :D
2. Staaay. THey're one of my favourite sets on books! I'm reading them now actually!
3. Book three is my definate favourite [Siruis <3], then 7, followed by 5 & 6, then 4 & 1, then 2. And I HATEHATEHATE the films. DOn't even get me started...
4. I used to read a bit of fanfic, but had to stiop cause I was getting confused between canon and fanfic! I did a lot of discussion, especially before the 7th book, but not so much anymore!

Doctor Who
1. I got into this fandom completly backwards. I went to see the Barrowman in a panto in Cardiff a few years ago, thought oooh, I like him a lot. Started watching TW when series 2 aired. Decided I actually had no idea what was going on, or what people were talking about. Watched series one. Still had no idea. Picked up series 1 on New!Who and was hooked! Watched them all in a couple of months, ready for when series 4 came on! So in all honesty I haven't been a real fan for that long. BUt I make up for it in my obsession I think! Dad's always like Doctor Who, so I;ve always been aware of it. I remember chasing my sister round the house with a sink plunger when I was about 5 or 6 yelling 'EXTERMINATE'...
2. Staystaystay for evvveeeeerrrrrr. :D
3. Oh God. Blink definately. All the episodes with Jack in obv :D Especially The Empty Child & The Doctor Dances. I also really like series 3's finale, despite everyone else seeming to hate it. The Unicorn and the Wasp. Turn Left. The Stolen Earth. Journey's End.
4. Yup. NO fanfic though. Dear God, I can't cope with getting my head roubnd the canon, nevermind adding more things to think about! I just have lots of discussions on it! And steal other people's idea when I'm talking about it to my friends to make me seem more knowledgeable!

HEEELLPPPPP! I've broken the internet.

My little address bar & things at the top of the page have disappeared, and I can't get them back!
I obviously pressed a shortcut and I can't find which I pressed on google!

Any suggestions!?

Never mind, I worked out about 10 seconds after posting this, haha!

Leave me a comment and I will give you a letter. Then, write 10 things that you love starting with that letter. Post the list in your journal. Give out letters to your commenters in return.

chloe_2450 gave me N. [Thanks!]

This is really difficult. I can't think of any thing!

New Who: If you hadn't noticed, I quite like Doctor Who :D. I'm not going to ramble on about it, cause most of you are Who fans anyway!

Nigel: We LOVE Nigel at work. He comes in on a Wednesday and cleans the floors for us! It doesn't sound like muich, but when we've been working all day, the last thing we want to do is hoover, then sweep and mop, so we wish everyday was Nigel Day!

New Look: OK, so I don't LOVE it, but I do like it a lot. And most of my clothes are from there! I spent another £20 again in there today. [I got a jumper and some light trousers if you're interested :D]

Newport: Again, I don't LOVE Newport, but I do like it. I go there probably once a week, either to the cinema, food shopping or clothes shopping!

New Sofas [Cheating? No...] My new sofa's just came to day, and they are really nice! Brown leather and really comfy! I'll take a picture at some point!

*to be continues when I think of more!*

Dear Robin.

I have two words for you: Maid Marian.

That is all, thank you.

Akathisia: The inability to sit still, an involuntary jiggling of the leg, or a terror of sitting.

This is so what I have! I can NEVER sit still!

Thank you QI [via Twitter!]

I got my ears pierced yesterday! :D:D
I'm such a fucking baby. I'mn 20 years old and I was too scared to have ears done. But I did it! I'd worked myself up about it so much, and having a bit of a panic attack, and there were all these people watching me. And it didn't hurt. At all. The woman did give me a lollipop though :D:D
They hurt now cause I keep knocking them on things - leaning my hands on my ears, flicking my hair out my face, putting t shirts on. Everytime!
But I'm glad I did it!

Just got back from the Monmouth Regatta to watch Alex & Lauren row! Saw Charlie and Ella, who i ahven't seen for months. I can't belive how big they're getting! Charlie was quite happy to sit with me from the start, but Ella woulkdn't come near me for about half an hour and then demanded all my attention. She's a stroppy little madam.
I AM SO SUNBURNT. All down my right side, my arm, my fingers, my entire face and my knees. Great.
And I saw some of my regulars from work, they came over to chat to me, and as they left mum was like 'how do you know they mayoress?!?!' I was like, I don't... But apparently she was made Mayoress last week or something. I am so well connected, haha!

Went to John's concert in Cardiff last night.
( It was fantastic, fantastic, fantastic! )

Watched Wolverine last night. I LOVED it!

I watched it with people who had never seen X men before though so everytime I saw something that explained something in X men, I couldn't share it, haha!

( Pictures of the house taken today )

Starting to look like a home, and not just a storage space now!
