So...

This has been a crappy week so far. Lets hope it gets better from here.

(That sounds blasé, but honestly? I have nothing constructive to say. My priority now is my friends, who are stressed as hell.)

A belated Happy Birthday to catwalksalone and lordessrenegade. Hope you had great birthdays!

I would like to properly introduce the non-roleplaying half of my flist to alryssa - the reason I am on Livejournal in the first place (Yep, it's all her fault...). I met her at tertiary college in Autumn 1995, having been introduced by thaya_rayal, and the three of us have been inseparable ever since. Apart from the fact they've both, y'know, left the country! *glares at them affectionately* LJ is how I keep tabs on how my little sister is getting on, way over there on the other side of that too-bloody-big ocean, and I miss the hell out of her. *snugs her*

So there you are! *grins*

I will be posting about last night's Torchwood, but right now I'm both too tired and too cold. My boiler's developed a fault, so I've not had heat or hot water since yesterday, but there's an engineer coming tomorrow. I downloaded the .pdf for my boiler - which was only installed in January 2006 (man, remember that week or so of hell when I had no kitchen or bathroom while the council did their refit?) but the FAQs and stuff didn't really help. So I bit the bullet and called the actual manfacturer's Customer Care line rather than wait till today to call the council, and since they couldn't give me a definite appointment time for today, they're sending someone tomorrow. In the meantime it took four refills of the kettle to wash my dishes and I am freezing!

Not-so-sekrit message to the Bat-Clan: You guys up for that snowball fight this weekend? I may not be able to RP for shit these days, but I think we all need some actual pretendy fun-time games. Just us and some snow, with no plot beats to hit. Sound good?

It's been a crappy week. I thought 2008 was supposed to be better than last year?

Hugs {{{}}}.

I think the residual crapness has bled into January *sigh* Let us hope that February will see things improve.

*hugs you close*

*warms you up*

Thank you for the birthday wishes!

Good gods it's cold today (-9 celsius! Woo!) I'd be screwed if we lost our heat.

Well, I *have* been thinking about moving back! Does that win me any points?

*wraps you up in a thick blankie*

I'll see where I'm at headspace-wise this weekend. I'm aiming to try and get out of the house and work off some of this stress, so I'm not sure if I'll be around much, but I can give it a shot. Right now my EYES hurt. sasfdsfwfdf.

I still don't have my heat - guy turned up while I was dropping Rowan off at school *sighs* Rescheduled for tomorrow, with Mam having to take him to swimming for me :-p

It does win you points, but I'm kinda keeping myself from getting my hopes up if you know what I mean. I don't doubt your sincerity for one second, but if you decided to stay put? I'd be awfully disappointed. So I'm saving any excitement for when you have the plane tickets, you know? ;-)

I can understand if no-one's actually in the right headspace. It was a idea, is all. *snugs*

I do believe that there are snowballs with Bruce Wayne's name on them.

[gothams3rdrobin.livejournal.com]

Yes indeedy :-D We'll wait and see what happens, but I'm confident it'll happen at some point.

I'm kinda ... well, yeah, I'd like that, but lemme see how my weekend rolls? It's not that I want to say "no," but I want to make sure a "yes" is actually going to be a yes that stays a yes.

[gothams3rdrobin.livejournal.com]

Absolutely. It's not a set-in-stone thing, more of an idea.

[not-vecchio.livejournal.com]

If you'll have me, yes.

[gothams3rdrobin.livejournal.com]

What's with this 'if you'll have me' bollocks? *snugs* Wouldn't be the same without you, and you know it!

[not-vecchio.livejournal.com]

*snugs* I've been pretty reserved the last couple of days trying to figure out what's going on up in the ol' head.

[gothams3rdrobin.livejournal.com]

*huggles* You know I'm here to listen, right?

[not-vecchio.livejournal.com]

Yeah, sweetie. You're the best. :)
