Chasing chimeras

On Saturday night everything seemed to be working against us, so we never got to the In Goth We Trust thing that was happening in town. A pity, since I was really looking forward to it. But, eh, what can you do, right?

We went in on Sunday and watched Hera playing in the art centre. She's completely adorable and has some incredible pipes on her. (And Alison uses her as the face for evil batshite insane angel in Darker London who I can never quite be as scared of now...)

Last night in my dream there was a very loud party here and I got completely wasted, and this morning when I woke up I felt like I was deathly hungover until I realised I couldn't possibly be. Imaginary hangover? That sucks!

Pony-obsessed Muz has been demanding photos of my rats for ages, and so who am I to deny a gorgeous friend's sexy boyfriend? (Look at me rack up those brownie points, babies!)

( The poets... )

I am so twitching to get hold of Queen Adreena's The Butcher and the Butterfly and Ride a Cock Horse. *twitch*

ETA: Oh my god! Deadpool is going to be in the Wolverine movie? Deadpool is fuckin' awesome! As if I wasn't already excited enough that Taylor Kitsh was going to be in it, now I get a Deadpool. Squee! I want this movie to not suck SO MUCH. Please be good, powers that be, please be good! (And while you're at it, since Hugh and Taylor are down in Queenstown, encourage them to come visit Christchurch?)

Oh, hello bedroom. You are fantastically wonderful and not full of leaves and lack any sort of deflating bed.

I returned this afternoon from Canterbury Faire, the ever-fantastic week long medieval event. And while I was happy to leave behind sleeping in a very small tent with Raen, I shall miss the rest of it.

I ate so many pies. Mmmm, pie. And Turkish coffee. I wish I had one now because I'm quite asleep even after falling into my bed as soon as our return to the LFoD.

And while it is not medieval, human croquet is serious amounts of fun when played :)

once when I had faith in the world
I thought people got what they deserved
I was so young and so naïve

now I've grown I've changed my mind
the world and god are really not that kind
but still I clung to my beliefs

I'm not angsty. The missing: just rock ^_^


I'd like like to state, for the record, that yesterday was St Patricks and I was sober. Appalling, right? Anyway, I took Ali and Sen along to the KAOS St Paddy's party - all of us lacking any green clothing - and we did the socialising thing. Alison and Sen were playing with BOYS. Which is just truly unacceptable. *shakes head sadly* Those girls. Don't know what to do with them.

Last weekend we - being the LFoD + Sen - managed to watch the entire first season of Supernatural, and we've now also finished all the episodes of season two she had burned. I wants more! I'm a sucker for any show that is all about urban legends and scary shit. And today we were going to watch more season one of X-Files, but the DVD peoples sent us Xena instead. I totally love X-Files. It's weird, cause I have sort-of memories of it but it was so long ago. I've also got the entire flat into it. I feel the pride. From Amazon UK I used my shiny new credit card (OH GOD THE DANGER) to order Spaced. Because it is awesome and Simon Pegg is made of cool.

I'm supposed to go into hospital sometime after Friday to get my tonsils yanked out. I don't like this. I disagree with the hospital and pain idea. And I haven't had tonsillitis since I got on the waiting list for this about a year ago. So bloody typical. Especially since I used to get it every month or so before that. Lecturers are also telling me that I should be starting certian essays now and I go !!! because I don't want to be all hospitaly and essay-y at the same time. I'm also planning to go to my dad's over Easter and that's when things are due and... !!!

But good news? I got more ratties. *hugs them* Two more in fact. And I'd put photos but my camera is sleeping. But now I have three rats and an awesome new cage for them. They're all such sweeties.

At some point today I'm actually going to have to get dressed so I can go round to Phil's and steal photos from him like I said I would. Hopefully the weather will decide if it wants to be stormy winter or boiling summer soon.
