I've refused point blank to go to any more Xmas parties around here.

(The irony of Br1t1$h G@$ holding a Soviet themed party has not been lost on me)
Being in various states of gonewrongness around work people is great, if only cos it confuses them.

Tissp, was it any good, or were you sorely disappointed?

At least ours don't have speeches, just the enforced fun and the whole: "you're a bloke! You must therefore drink lots of beer, get drunk, and expect to *like* it when we try to drag you in to stupid party games" atmosphere.

Hrrmmmm, I wonder if any of the cute hipster boys from Brighton will be coming this year? That's just about the only thing that would make me go.
God, I am *SO* shallow.

However, it was more that my company nicked the idea and did it themselves, then decked it out with entertainment and free booze and food--the key part was that there was no "enforced" fun, which probably made it much more bearable.

OK, NOW I'M BOUNCINGLY HAPPY BECAUSE I FINALLY HEARD FROM DARA!!!!
She's flying into town tomorrow night. Which means she'll be in town for the gig on Wednesday. I'm going to kidnap her and make her come and sing New Order covers with us.
But now I don't know what I'm doing, because I don't know what they're doing. If they go down to Minehead on Thursday, obviously I can't go cause I have to work. But if they go down on Friday, I can throw a sickie and tag along. Oh dear lord... What Would Jesus Do? No, wait, What Would Iggy Do? :-D

All my life, I have wanted dancing boys. I think it was something to do with early Madonna videos. And you have made mine dreams come true!

(Actually, it is not a dress, but a lacy red and black top, over a raspberry coloured Indian skirt.)
I was being all neurotic the other night, thinking that I looked rub, but seeing these photos, I feel good again because the outfit does look lovely!

Why is it that whenever you think everything seems lovely, something happens to kick you down again?

The mopingest moping song is probably "Second Coming" by Sunhouse.

However, success with the bow-tie! I can now tie a bow-tie, and it only looks a LITTLE bit ragged. I tried to get my housemate to take some photo's of me, but they all came out highlighting my double chin. I do, howvere, look pretty dapper - I'm one of these people that look like they SHOULD be in a suit, all the time.
Moping songs - cue Leonard Cohen.

Ed, just the *thought* of that makes my eyes hurt at this time in the morning.

I am ridiculously happy this morning, despite the miserable weather. I mean, I'm normally pretty cheerful anyway but I just feel ultra-smiley today, for no particular reason.
I had a very successful time last night buying Christmas presents online (including winning some brilliant yet completely silly items from ebay), and now I'm sitting here with a lovely cup of freshly-brewed coffee, munching a slice of buttery wholegrain toast, listening to the radio while the rain lashes down outside; I have just the right amount of work busy-ness, and feel all contented. I wish I could bottle this feeling and give it away to people.

I've currently stuck in an end of month figures nightmare. My queries are taking an age to run, and I KNOW my boss is gonna be mean to me when I tell him that OTHER PEOPLE are being tardy in giving me numbers. Sheesh.
However, just finished some coffee, so should feel better soon.
