Listening to John Barrowman albums while reading Torchwood books really messes with your head. Mind you doing those individually also mess with your head.

But I've been looking forward to this one since last Monday.  I can now well and truly say that one of the most stressful weeks I've ever had is over.  When tomorrow comes my life is back to being my own and I don't have to be bothered about what anybody else is up to.  

In my opinion when somebodies hobby can cause this much distress - on and off for nearly 8 years it's time to get a new one - or play some where else 'cause I'm sick of it - and I don't care whos fault it is!

Anyway time to go and watch Electric Dreams - it's the 80s so that might be some fun. 

I went to bed last night with a case of mild amusement but I'm looking at some of the stuff on Cheryls Mewsings and to be honest I feel a little ill at the whole thing.

Himself and JB had a falling out in 2001 and it's been poison ever since.  There were times when I was well and truly scared of JB and what he was likely to do.  When I say scared it's not a case of OMG what is he going to say or do next - it was a case of are we actually safe?  I'm not saying he would have done anything but that didn't stop me from feeling threatened.  Now that I think of it - he never did threaten us but the level of his anger at P. what so intense that it was scary.  

Having experienced the intense anger, I see the bile that he is pouring forth and it makes me feel ill.  I have an idea what he is talking about in one or two things but my recollection is naturally fairly different.  However for the rest I don't recognise the events or the person he is talking about.  Yes indeed if what he wrote was true then P is a truly hinous monster but he does appear to have support so I can only conclude that there are folk out there that believe like me that he is actually a fairly alright kindda guy - yes a pain in the arse  and has an opinion on almost everything - but show me somebody who isn't like that to any degree.  I am getting the impression that JB still hasn't gotten over the let down he felt in 2001 and is nurturing it in all sorts of strange distorted ways.

BTW I should say that JB isn't James Bacon.  Yes they fell out around the same time but they have largely kissed and made up.

I'm bloody wrecked.  I know that himself can be a bit critical and always likes to be right but to bar him from a convention is taking the piss.  In all of the time he ran conventions there were lists of people he wanted to ban simply 'cause he thought they were arseholes but he didn't 'cause they were at the con not causing too much trouble to the others outside of their circle of friends.  Those that were acting up were always taken outside and would be spoken to in firm tones etc.  and the matter would be at an end.
This is a whole evening taken up with being generally gobsmacked and bewildered and of course from where I'm sitting amused.
If I ask the god of time if I could have this evening back do you think I could - I'm sure there was a few things I needed to do.

OK now I'm really sad :(

Another piece from BBC

I'm going to post this in a few places in the hopes of getting a suggestion so sorry if you're seeing this more than once.

What do I get a one year old girl for her birthday?  

I'm at a complete loss - of course it doesn't help that I'm not 100% sure of what she has to begin with.

 


The cat that got the cream?  

Are friends again :)  

I PASSED MY TEST - WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm soooo happy and amazed - well not amazed but amazed.  OMG! OMG! OMG! 
If I was a child I'd be jumping on my bed I've that much pent up energy - however weight & height are against me so it might have to be a walk.

Bounce, Bounce, Bounce, Bounce, Bounce.

So where to next?

I can't type for nuts at the moment - wayhay!
