My LiveJournal is Friends Only. If you found your way through my site and you're either a) related to me or b) too curious for words, the reason for my journal being Friends Only is just this:

This is my journal. Occasionally I bitch and moan about things that I can't elsewhere. I also write fandommy things in here and, at the risk of letting family know how much of a giant geek I am, I try to hide it...

(Admittedly, not very well. You can see products of my geekery at beforethecalm, clone_art or either one of my sites that are listed here. ;))

I'm Friends Only because I want to be. If you think I'm bitching about you? I probably am, but I still love you anyway. :p

If you have a livejournal and you're not related to me, however, drop a comment here - all screened for my own viewing pleasure - and I'll add you back if I think we've got something in common. :)

If there is one person or more on your friends list who makes your world a better place just because they exist and who you would not have met (in real life or not) without the internet, then post this same sentence in your journal.

I'm 27 today.

Three years off 30.

Wow. (It's strange to be surprised about something you've known was coming for the last 26 years, LOL.)

Thanks to starbuck42082 for my gift! *points* :)

Happy birthday to meeeeeeeee, eh?

I have a shiny new fandom to play in!

I blame an offline friend for this, considering she was the first one who showed me how good Criminal Minds was.  :D  And, indeed, the hotness of Morgan (aka, Shemar Moore *points to icon*).  Now, I'm in love with Morgan/Garcia...my new OTP de choice, for every fandom must have one daaaahling.  ;)

I have three posts over at beforethecalm - taken up by things that've been lying on my HD for weeks and weeks and weeks.  :p
All available for snaggage, download, etc.  And apologies to anyone who sees posts like this 3000 times today.  I am whorey, yes.

MERRY XMAS F-LIST!

I hope you all have fantastic, wonderful, AMAZING holidays! And that Santa brings you lots and lots of presents! =)

*cudddddddddles* EEEEEEEEEE. *loooooooooves Christmas*

I'm HOME! Well, I'm back on the internet.

Though I've been in London at the weekend so, y'know, technically I'm home too.

SPY COMPUTER IS PRETTY AGAIN. NO CRACKED SCREEN. C IS ABOUT TO WRAP IT IN COTTON WOOL, YES. :-D I have LOTS AND LOTS to catch up with f-list. I'm attempting that as soon as I head upstairs and put my feet up because lots of walking in London has meant SWOLLEN ANKLES and ow, lmao.

BUT I'M BACK!!! BACK, HEAR ME?! WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Because _fullofgrace is fantastic and amazing and awesome and she made a Buffy/Sam video. *bounces*

Watch Here

Truly, truly awesomesauce. Which shall forever be my new word of the week! With my new Vid of the Week. *pats it*

No power today, f-list. Not a LICK of it because some bozo had power-sawed right through an electric cable down the street.

We had to go to our local Asda for a cup of tea. How archaic. ;) I am in good spirits! I spent three hours on the phone with Caroline the other night, had a drink at the sister's house last night... I'm in a good place! Spiritually, emotionally--

Yeah, ok. Enough of the waxing lyrical. I'm also in a good mood 'cause I has a Supernatural S3 now! :D So my Great Buffy Marathon has been stalled in favour of never-seen-before episodes of Supernatural and OH HOW I LOVE IT. =)

There's a helicopter buzzing around outside my house. LOUD.

Anyway. My Buffy Marathon. And oh how I love Season 1. It was new and starting out and just finding its feet but oh, there was good times to be had! I find myself loving Buffy again. And Willow. But Giles, by far, is my favourite at the minute. *sigh* Happy Place!

Just finished watching Bad Day at Black Rock. LMFAO. "I'm Batman!" *dies laughing* I saw that first thanks to the lovely virtualpersonal and it gets even better the second fifth time around. *G*

So onwards and onwards I go with the Supernatural Watching! Although am at work tomorrow for another 12 hour shitty shift. Ah, well. The Wanting To Be Home to Watch SPN makes the day go quicker. Not that I'm wishing my life away, LOL. Noooooooo.

*love and squishes to you all* :)

One Cordelia/Angel, one Buffy (can be considered Buffy/Rileyish) and one Buffy/Sam (Crossover with Supernatural).

Three new wallpapers here @ my Media journal beforethecalm.

One Cordelia/Dean wallpaper, two Cordelia/Angel wallpapers. :)

Fingers crossed but I may have fixed my internet connection.

I am yet to work out how but I'm happy. *blinks*

Yet another quick update.

All of my files, yes all of them, have been deleted from my beyond-help.org domain. Thankfully, they haven't closed down my account fully (that would MORE than suck!) but it means that a lot of things have disappeared like layouts for people, etc. :/

Because of this - (and if I can still remember what I'm doing, LMAO) - I will make anyone who had a layout hosted by me something shiny and new when I come back. Well, if Photoshop is still playing nice then too. *G*

Moving is going well. Official moving date is this Saturday and I did not realise how much crap I have. We moved about 13 boxes yesterday (while I was on my dinner at work, might I add) and about 5 bags -- I have more books than clothes, how sad am I? -- and that was just upstairs. *headdesk*

So, yus.

Work is shite, as always. And I want to go see P.S I Love You - have read the book and the added factor of Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Gerard Butler and James Marsters is driving me to it. *le sigh* ;)

How eez my friendlist? Are you all well? :) I still have Christmas icons (and incidentally my Christmas Tree up) which shows you how organized I am. *G*

*hugs you all*

To anyone I'm hosting images for, my website beyond-help.org is down and won't be up again until the end of the month and I can pay Dreamhost (lovely site people) the money they need to reactivate my account. *scowl*

'Tis also the end of an era in that my website layout-whore.com has been bought by someone who is NOT me. :( It was up for renewal in December (I forgot!) and someone snapped it up a month later so... Layout-whore is no more!

I'm debating on whether to buy another one when I have a little money - at the minute, I'm considering just sticking with beyond-help and transferring things over (money's tight, damnit!) but I just thought you should all know.

The move is, well, at a stand still at the minute in that I've done nothing in my house! I very much need to pull my finger out, oh yes! Grandma had her operation the other day and though she's still in Critical Care, she's doing grand! :)

Am off to attempt reading the flist now but if I don't see you guys in the next couple of weeks I will DEFINITELY be back in February. :D

*loves*

Happy 2008 Flist. Wow, it really is a long time no update - I can say that now without thinking 'does three days count as a lack of updatage?' ;)

Alas, this shall be a quick one. I have no time today to do anything (I think that's just the story of my life, really) but that has more to do with things being sorted out and stuff.

So, for the good news. I am moving in with Grandma! She's getting much, much better - not out of hospital yet though she's given them the ultimatum of 'I better be out by Jan 30th' hee! - but I'm moving in, more so I can stay with her overnight and stuff but even more because I just can't afford my house any more.

Now, I thought I would be gutted but I'm not. It's actually kind of a relief and I'm more worried about the fact that I'm not more upset but...yes. Moving in with Grandma. Should be in before my birthday and in the proceeds of getting internet switched on up there. Hopefully, this means I should be back before long.

With more money, less stress...and my lovely Grandma home. So, this would be my last update from my lovely house. I have a lot of happy, good memories from this place (a few not so happy, but the good have always outweighed the bad) and even though I'm sad to be leaving it behind, I can't help but feel that this is a good thing. A really good thing.

I miss you all so much, flist. It's been like losing an arm not catching up with you guys, I swear to God. :p Hopefully you all had a fantastic Christmas and New Year and I will be back soon, I promise.

Love, hugs and New Year Kisses

Icons pre-sleep... Always a good plan, especially when you're doing three 12 hour shifts in the next few days. WHEE.
