A stitch in time...

The last week or so has been unusually eventful for me. Not a whole lot usually goes on here in the delightful realms of Not-quite-proper-London-but-near-enough-to-have-all the-bad-bits. Work hasn't been as awful as usual. Well, it's still completely mind-numbing and physically hard work but it's like something in my head has just snapped and all of a sudden it has stopped filling me with that awful feeling of dread. Maybe I've finally accepted that there's no way I'll get anything better right now :( Such a depressing prospect!
Awwwwwww! You know when something is so cute it makes you want to cry? Jus looked to my right and the ratties r both snuggled up together half under the duvet >_< So kawaii!
Friday was a particularly good day for me. My sister and I took mummy out to pizza express for a mother's day meal. The best part of this was that we had to wait ages for our main courses (due to an arguement and dismissal in the kitchen we were later informed) and ended up getting them for free! =D Free pizza is the best thing EVER!!! After returning home more than pleasantly full and rather sleepy I had my first driving lesson. It's something I've been meaning to do for a long time but kept putting off for various reasons. The first lesson wasn't too strenuous. In fact I found it quite refreshing to have a new challenge. I'm looking forward to this week's lesson, which is surprising to me considering how freaked out I was (and still kind of am) by the whole prospect of being behind the wheel.
Went to an awesome gig on Saturday. One of my most favourite bands, Sonic Boom Six, supporting an old 80's reggae/ ska band, The Beat. Despite being more chilled out than gigs I usually attend- no mosh pit and mostly just bobbing- I had a really good time. I got to chat to Laila, the singer for a bit too, which is always cool. I need to practice being less socially inept! lol It felt good that she actually remembered me from other gigs, made me feel appreciated! I can't wait for the next gig! :)
Today has been rather lazy. Very much a movie day. Got sucked in to a random black and white film this morn. I think it was called The Appartment. Was very good, highly recommended. I've spent the rest of the day watching various films from my collection, culminating in Lilo and Stitch. I've decided Stitch is amazing and is possibly my favourite Disney character. And on that note, I think it's time to leave...

Art bits

Firstly I would like to declare my undying love for my Tv! I'm sitting on my bed watching Sleeping Beauty and it looks amazing! The colours are so bright and shiny. It's one of the reasons I love this film so much. It's like watching the Disney version of a medieval painting or stained glass window. Eeee it makes me all happy inside!!! They've got all the angular shapes and simple shading down to a tee and all the backdrops are just right. Makes me want to do a big painting in that style. Ooo but what to paint?
I've been bitten by the art bug again recently. Trouble is I seem to have been bitten by many different types of art bugs all at once and now I have a whole load of mini projects on the go all at once. The trouble is I can't seem to get round to finishing any of them! I've got a bag of stuffing I was meant to be making sock creatures with (but I only got as far as sock-bat), an unfinished denim patchwork and cushion cover, a line drawing of my fursona, the cardboard base for a huge claymore, an almost finished peacock sketch and now a whole load of steampunky items to create! In theory I should have enough time to finish it all, I mean I'm only working 3 nights a week. I just lose focus too easily nowadays...
Aww my fat little ratties are so cute! They're being all snuggly. I just want to poke them and squish them! In fact, that is what I will now do. The film is finished and I've been boring long enough so it's time to poke rats and add some colour to things :D

Soup

During a brief nostalgic moment over the weekend I ended up reading my old myspace blogging rants. I decided It's been a while since I've had any kind of outlet for my mind soup. This is the new bowl! Mmm soup...

There is a lot going on in my head at the mo, but mostly its all swirly and not in a writable form. It's all watery soup, no real meaty chunks to serve up right now. Lets just see what's bubbling...

I've been sort of stuck in a rut since heading back home. There's just nothing to do. Well, there are things I could do if I had the inclination to treck into town all the time, but there is nothing locally that is remotely entertaining. Unless you count mindless vandalism or muggings. Hmm now there's a thought! I'm sure I've got a hoody and some jogging bottoms somewhere.

I've decided I really miss having people around. Not random people, I mean my friends. Don't get me wrong, it's nice to have my family around, but there's only so much of them you can take! lol I never really figured myself as a people person but I think maybe I am. I miss people. Maybe I should leave the house and find some.
