I’m seriously considering getting a tattoo on the next big night out with my awesome tattooed friends Robyn & Damien (who have been instructed to hold my hands as I’ll probably cry 
)
I’m choosing a design now, so that I don’t end up with a pineapple or something dreadful in a drunken haze (really the alcohol’s there to give me the balls to go through with it :p) so I'm now on a mission to decide what to have inked (and where!) (Also - if anyone can suggest any designs, I’d be happy to receive them, and rather grateful too
)
Idea 1: since they essentially play a major part in my life - a panda
In other news: Last night was utterly amazing - I really am so, so lucky to have such amazing friends There may be pics at some point as well, but any photos that I may or may not have imagined from last night are on my friend's camera - and she's notoriously bad for uploading things late.
EDIT: Following advice both on here and from my IRL friends, I've decided not to go with the getting drunk idea (though maybe a single shot of SoCo might not go amiss, just to give me a bit of dutch courage) - I'm now hoping that the support of my awesome friends will be enough to get me through it

Future wise, my only real plan for this week is on the horizon for Friday: Bush, Robyn, Damien and I (and whoever else Bush can rope in) are hitting town for a few drinks, which should be far calmer than usual but should be a lot of fun nonetheless ^.^ So tomorrow I'm going to try to get some work done, since it's been subject to serious neglect for the last 2 weeks or so
Anyway, I've rambled on for faar too long, so I'm gonna wrap it up with a mini celebration which is site-related: DeeDee's Roxanne set got bought!!
I'm well chuffed about this, since I've adored this set since I first set eyes on it in member review over a month ago, and even stated that if it didn't get picked for the front page that I wouldn't bother to renew my membership (I take creative sets very seriously ) but now it's been bought! And I couldn't be happier - click here to look at it (if you haven't already) or have a nosy under the spoilers for a quick preview

Thursday night was glorious, by the way:
I dressed as a flapper (that's flapper with an F, not an S
)
Had particularly random drunk times with my 2 girls Robyn and Vicki before we went left for the town:
Town itself was a particularly drunkenly amazing mess:
It was then decreed that we should go out as well on Friday (as Bush - everyone's favourite person - hadn't been able to make Thursday because of work), but you'll be glad/disappointed to know that I didn't have a drink for that one, for a start, I don't think my body had completely forgiven me for Thursday >.<
So yes, Thursday was awesome. And I am currently anticipating potential movie times today (although I won't know what's happening exactly until later), and cinema times on Monday with Bush, his girlfriend, and potentially some of the rest of the gang Plus: the psychic octopus has tipped Spain to win the final!
So yes, life is still rather awesome
(even if all the hairspray and moose from yesterday has left me looking like the bride of Frankenstein this morning)
Anyway, I go on - how are you guys?

Spain are in the final of the World Cup.
My Box sets of the IT Crowd have turned up.
I have baked an exceptionally good batch of biscuits (if I do say so myself)
I have officially lost a record amount of weight healthily.
And, best of all: I get to go out tonight with 4 gorgeous people to several awesome rock clubs (including a free gig).
Life pretty much rules right now

Gah what is today?!
I wake up at 2am shit scared (context) I didn’t get back to sleep til 3:30am, I then woke up at 7:15am for no goddamn reason, feeling almost too ill to eat my tiny-ass bowl of cereal. I got some good news from my Wii Fit so I thought “yaay! Today’s luck is finally turning around!” and went to go have a shower.
Things in the shower were going great, it wasn’t malfunctioning as it usually does (if you ever use my shower, you will have to sign a release pledging not to sue when it inevitably scolds you for no reason) so I could actually wash my hair, body and face without having to shuffle to the sink… and that’s when it happened.
Some moth went Norman Bates on me, come out of fucking nowhere and kept flying at me in a prolonged and unprovoked attack until, in one of my desperate attempts to shoo it - I accidentally break it in half on my shoulder. So now I feel guilty as hell, as at that moment it occurs to me that maybe it wasn’t trying to kill me, maybe it was scared and lashing out, or thought that it could come to me for help and guidance. Maybe it was my fucking spirit animal - oh now I’m fucked. So I’m racked with guilt, and I have a decent dollop of moth blood on my shoulder.
Normally I could just console myself with the thought that I get to bake lots of baking today, but a lack of sleep and today’s events so far have led me to believe that something’s gonna go seriously wrong…. EEK!
Anyway, I’ll shut up now. Thanks for listening
EDIT: I washed the dollop of blood off, by the way; I didn’t feel like wearing it as a badge of honour (even if that would have made me a fucking Viking)

Thursday night was epic - to the extent that I'm still recovering
It was ace, great jokes, great banter, good music, awesome cocktails Plus, I accidentally pulled an incredibly fit guy 
- I'm a good girl so nothing happened, but it's always nice to have someone like that interested in you 
Yesterday I went shopping with my mother-in-law for a dress to wear to my boyfriend's younger brother's wedding at the end of the month - I got a gorgeous navy blue 'vintagey' one to go with my unnecessarily awesome heels (in the previous post). But as the sales were on I also treated myself to a gorgeous little flapper dress and matching headband, and to these beauties:
I've needed new shot glasses for an eternity, so Edward Monkton ones (including the Penguin of Death, no less) at just £4 were a must
I've only got one more week and a bit in Yorkshire before I head of to Reading for 3 whole weeks (ouch
) so I'm working on fitting in as much debauchery as possible; so far, we have: dinner and movies followed by drinks on Wednesday, and more drunken epic glory on Thursday
So yes, the excitement is palpable
Update: I'm now also probably going out on Friday night... This is both a terrifying and awesome prospect
Anyway, enough about me - how has your weekend been?

New shoes!
I’m currently preparing for an afternoon, evening and night of wayward debauchery in order to celebrate my best friend getting a 2:1 for his degree, and the end of this academic year.
In preparation, I am currently: baking chocolate sponge buns with chunks of fudge (which will then be coated in chocolate fudge icing
) reeling from my trip to the hairdressers (the woman hit me hard on the head with the dryer 4 times! ), and trying to do as much writing as possible so as not to fall behind (I’m doing JulNoWriMo as I am a glutton for punishment ). So yes... Woo!
PS: please ignore the weird-ass pink chair, it’s my grandma’s
This is piggy. He too is dismayed at England's abysmal exit from the world cup:
I don't even know...
How are you all today, anyhoo?
I don't even know...
How are you all today, anyhoo?
Woo! I get to go here today:
That's Sheffield, btw - it's mad, I live about 30 minutes away, and yet I hardly ever bother going. But the sun is out today - so I'm gonna head out towards glory with this girl:
My best friend Robyn
And, as it's sunny - mandatory outfit shot!
Hope you all have an awesome day!
P.S. Excuse the lameness of the photo of Sheffield - for some reason I only have mobile phone pics of it, I shall remedy this later
