am I spoiled? probably but not in the way she's accusing me of [Nov. 14th, 2008|10:31 pm]

gardensgnome
Bleach manga 334. Um...did not see that coming although was wondering where she has been all this time. Bad feeling about this really so hopefully they won't drag it out too long.

Work sucked. Always does on Fridays. Never really got everything finished but not to worry.

Can't remember how the talk started but was chatting with one of the female co-workers, whom I really can't stand at times, and she said she believes I'm spoiled. Wha? I think it was all because I admitted that some nights dinner is cooked for me when I get home. I finish work at 7.30pm. Usually by this time mum and dad have eaten and there's some for me too if I feel up to it or I save it for lunch th next day. She thinks I should cook something for myself when I get home. she needs her fucking head read. For me to cook my own meal once I got home would be a waste of power to cook it and then water and detergent to do the extra dishes. Not to mention that I probably wouldn't bother at all and then end up eating worse than I already am.

Sure, I think I'm spoiled at times but not the way she's saying I am and I do return the favour.

Ages back when mum and dad were both working and wouldn't be home till close to dinnertime, I'd cook for all three of us during the morning before I left for work in the early afternoon. Does this mean that they're spoiled? I feel for her kids if that's her way of thinking. I'm not freeloading or anything of the kind.

I shouldn't have to explain myself to her and am quite pleased when she left he aisle red-faced when I argued my point of cooking and cleaning up 8-9pm at night. It makes no sense at all and is truly a waste.

Anyways enough bitching. Fucking yay it's the weekend.

* develop some photos
* christmas stuffs
* sewing of sekrit thing
* cleaning room
* maybe some gaming

I really do need to get back into gaming. Got so many unfinished games and quite a few unstarted ones too. I don't think I do anything since I went back to work that is truly relaxing. it's all go go go and stress stress and fall over pass out asleep and dream of work while sleeping and then get up and do it all again.

Um...how much charge is in the psp I wonder ^^;

I think I'll grab another glass of lemonade and chill our for another hour before sleeping. Catch ya all over the weekend! ♥♥

Now to remember where I brought that candle holder from. [Nov. 14th, 2008|10:04 am]

gardensgnome
Urk it's all sticky and hot here this morning.

Sleeping was actually happening, I was dead to the world and doing the dreaming thing until the new noticeboard fell off the wall at around 4am. Knocked over some stuff which ended up breaking one of my glass candle holders. Am not happy and still have glass to clean up as at the time the priority was un-glassed drinking water for Shadow and more sleep.

Today will be a good day at work *nods* We will be busy and it will go quickly. I demands it.

Also must write Dissidia Jecht/Tidus or Squall or someone cos daddy porns are needed. Jecht is looking tasty the brief glance that is given.

Anyone placing bets on Dissidia cosplay at con next year?

can I start sewing yet? [Oct. 31st, 2008|09:58 pm]

gardensgnome
Good evening all. Happy Halloween. If we celebrated here I probably would be in Trevor hunting down the chibi vampires :3 ooooh I should eat a sour bat or two.

Anyways an update of sorts I guess seeing as not much is happening here this evening.

Work sucked in that my back started hurting around 3pm and I still had 4 hours of work to go. I puttered about not exerting myself too much and survived. I think I got most everything done but tough if I didn't cos it's now the weekend.

November tomorrow...nano tomorrow. Am I ready? Hell no.

I'm actually itching to start cleaning the spare room and drag mum off fabric shopping. I'm to blame for this but so is Kalli for encouraging me and suggesting extra. You'll all find out eventually what is going on but do expect me to lose my mind before next con. Oh and I've decided I'm going to need an overlocker. It'll be a good investment really. Kalli, expect me to pester you over the weekend about this. You've got me all twitchy excited now *bounces madly* We will be FAAAAAABULOUS! Cos seriously we can't not do it now.

Am tired so will likely go curl up on the bed with nano notes to do some planning. Mum and dad are out for part of tomorrow so I plan to do much of the writing thing when I'm not doing the chatting thing or the omg twitchy cleaning thing.

mmmmm chocolate with pop rocks :3 [Oct. 30th, 2008|10:17 pm]

gardensgnome
Some of you may remember last year where I added chocolate egg like shaped elves gems to packages...you know the chocolate with pop rocks in it that bubble in your mouth? Guess what I'm eating right now ^_______________________________^ and you should have see how quick mum's hand was out for some when I showed her what was back in the store XD

So yes, if you do not want the weird candy, do tell me now as they will likely be dropped randomly into some of the packages I'm sending out. and the card list was looking sedate too until I added the package list *laughs*

Finally got around to watching G00 ep4. While at work during lunch. Yay for ickle subs on the ipod touch. Still do not like Lyle. Bastard. Go Feldt! And Haro was much funny during that scene.

I'm going to fall into bed in a few. I need sleep rather badly. Much to do this weekend and not just nano XD

why would seph want to fight little ol' me? [Oct. 28th, 2008|09:52 am]

gardensgnome
Note to self: do not try to be fighting Sephiroth outside your nan's house when your sword familiar is resting. Be much thankful that Sephiroth's was too so there was nothing to do but wait.

And be very afraid that your sword familiar human form is Jack Black.

Yes, Gnome had weird dreams this morning and I'm blaming watching Geass till 2am, an annoying bout of indigestion and thinking of nano fic when going to sleep. It started with me looking at swords. Not any ordinary swords but character swords and don't ask which cos I can't remember. I had a kickass sword that transformed into some kind of glass like baseball bat type thing *frowns at it* but it certainly wasn't glass *evil smirk at the huge dints it was leaving in things* Seph dropped in and wanted to fight but we couldn't because our familiars wouldn't cooperate...and then I woke up. Very friggen weird.

I am not awake nor am I here. I get ready for work in about half an hour and have some thing to do so I'm puttering about doing that instead *loves on all*

a Sunday of many things [Oct. 26th, 2008|11:02 am]

gardensgnome
So I"m going to make a serious effort to get stuff done today. I'm late starting due to being up after 2am watching Geass. I watched 13 episodes yesterday evening. Could not stop and only did cos it was getting very late.

[info]calliopepurple is having a bit of a sale on her lj here. Various stuff from ps1 games to anime to ds games and movies. Go have a look and see if there's anything you think you might like to give a good home to. Be advised though that the list has been posted elsewhere. I've suggested listing stuff as reserved to avoid confusion ^_^

Plans for the day and there are many: cleaning, laundry, bath Shadow, wash hair, do up christmas wishlist, poke nano notes, watch more Geass...and other random things as I think of them like taking up pairs of pants that are too long. Yes, gnome is busy today ;) So don't be surprised if I'm not at the compy. I want to make some icons today too. I need a G00 and a Geass icon.

I'm still putting on weight so time to start doing something about that too. My feet have pretty much stopped hurting so might go for a walk later.

Remind me sometime this week to get some pics printed up. I have some of those corkboard tiles on the wall with my pin badges stuck in them and now it just needs pics from this year. I'll take photos when done ^_^ Neko!!! Post photos *leans all over and pokes*

Arrrrgh dad has visitors downstairs and so I can't start my laundry yet. Do not want to cart a basket full of clothing down there -_-

tis bloody nippy [Oct. 24th, 2008|09:12 am]

gardensgnome
It's really friggen cold in the house this morning. I'm all rugged up and even have socks on and am still feeling cold. Damn sunny outside too but I don't want to be outside in the cool breeze *shivers*

I've been poking about ebay, not buying things, just poking. Suikoden 2 is much more rare/expensive than Suikoden 1. It's kinda scary.

I've been sort of doing some spring cleaning.The compy desk is a huge mess and has been for ages so I'm trying to sort through things. Do need to file some stuff but I think I might need to get a new file first. Am running out of room in the current one. Perhaps it needs tidying up too.

May not be here tomorrow. We're debating going to the museum with the girls so it's done before school holidays start. Will see how I feel tomorrow.

I"m gonna go grab a hot drink. Maybe that'll warm me up.

Well that weekend went quick... [Oct. 19th, 2008|09:55 pm]

gardensgnome
edit: just realized i've not posted the link to my con pics yet - find them here ^_^: /edit

I did very little, spent literally bucket loads of money and finished watching Macross Frontier.

Money spent wasn't a waste. I got some new bras, yet more jeans (yeah, I know I'm forever buying jeans but these are those light weight ones, perfect for summer) and a new pair of work pants. Mum owes me some cash for getting some stuff for her as well as some new pillow cases for my well loved boomerang pillow. Grabbed Christmas cards too. 4 hours of money spending. I've not yet checked the bank balance either ^^;

so I finished macross...and am watching G00 s2 and tota - cut for MF spoilers of course )

I have too many fandoms I want to cosplay *whimpers* And I need some new icons too.

You do realize that if Y-con had been in October, I'd be in the hotel right now anticipating the arrival of everyone. Not fair!

Will be passing out shortly. Can't believe the weekend is over already. It went by much too fast and I'm hoping this week will go quickly as well so it can then be the weekend again.

things to do cos I'm back at work tomorrow [Oct. 12th, 2008|09:28 am]

gardensgnome
I can't believe I go back to work tomorrow. This week seemed slow but it's gone quicker than I was prepared for. Dun wanna go back! Suppose I have to though so I can pay off this years holiday and save for next year.

There is a list of stuff to do and I'm going to try and stick to it cos then there will actually be stuff getting done rather than me living in front of the compy all day. Mind you a few things are compy related. Does that defeat the need to be away from the compy?

* answer old-ish and new emails
* write BoL 41
* upload some con pics not yet added
* general room tidy
* watch some Macross Frontier
* laundry
* work on cosplay.com profile thing
* change a pile of icons cos I wants to

It's all random things. Will see how it goes. I still have the container of random receipts and paperwork from con to go through. I'm still reading doujin too ^^;

Y-con survey and wig person [Oct. 10th, 2008|02:25 pm]

gardensgnome
Post con survey is up for anyone wanting to go leave thoughts and opinions. Yes, I mentioned that we got much use out of the hot tub and pool and would like to see them at future hotels. Go share your thoughts everyone!

No answer yet from the wig person. I phoned her but got voicemail and so will phone again in 24 hours after leaving a message that I'll be contacting her the next day. I need to contact my bank as well and see if anything can be done to get the money back.

I now have to go through con pics and select some to be printed up. Might be online for a bit this afternoon. Not sure yet.

Some con pics of Braska and Auron but not the ones from my camera [Oct. 6th, 2008|10:07 am]

gardensgnome
I think my butt is going flat from sitting so long in front of the compy ^^; Yeah I wish.

Anyways reason for sitting so long is I was trawling through con pics looking for the Auron and Braska ones. I've found the ones done by EuroBeatKing of Braska, Auron, Reno & Squall. We're all the way up on page 158 omg it took forever to get to them and they're not in any real day order. Does anyoneCon remember who was also taking photos of us? Specifically the ones when we were standing about on the grass? I can't remember.

I need to get my photos organized.

I so own everyone at work right now as I just left after giving them candy and they are all sucking on See's candy lollipops XD It is great to see everyone with a stick out of their mouth.

Body is telling me it's seriously late although it's only 8.30pm. Will try to make it to 9 or hopefully 10pm before sleeping cos I so need to get my body clock straightened out. Yay for another week off work. Also have new work hours which I'll probably post tomorrow. For now I must clear off the bed so I can get some sleep soon. Nite all <3

Con report 2008 [Oct. 3rd, 2008|10:04 am]

gardensgnome
11 hours of sleep and yes, am much awake. I believe post con depression has sunk in seeing as I woke up, looked about my pre-dawn lighted room and realized that yes, I was home, in bed with just the cat and had a flea crawling up my leg.

I miss by roomies so hard! *clings*

Con report…I guess I should do one of those. And seeing as I arrived first expect it to get a bit on the long side.

looooooooooooooong con report but you all exptected that seeing as I was there forever ;) )

I wish we were all still at con but now is time to being saving and planning for next year. Thanks everyone for making this a wonderful week and a bit. Miss you all lots and lots. Much LOVE and SURPRISE BUTTSEX!!!!

*grumbles that she can’t write this much for fic anymore* Con report seems to be easier to write than fic at the moment *pouts* Pics will come much later when I get around to uploading things. right now i"m supposed to be doing the other half of my laundry.

Can haz home? [Oct. 2nd, 2008|12:41 pm]

gardensgnome
It's right weird to be home and typing ona proper keyboard.

Fuck I miss my roomies so much *clings to all who passed through the international fangirl room* 10 days was over much too fast I tell ya.

I've only been home a short bit. Had to stop in at work for some supplies and we've begun unpacking. I'll shower shortly...once I've got the chocolate sorted. My god I brought so much.

Flight was pretty good. More bearable than last year considering I slept Monday night as well as got a wee bit of sleep on the plane. Yes, there was turbulence but I managed to survive it. Arriving back at the Brisbane airport I didn't get my bags put through the scanners nor had the locks been opened. Yay! Sympathies to Zalia *holds tight* Mind you I've not checked journal yet so here's hoping her bag is back in her house already.

I need to go track down some real food and a milo. I wants a milo dammit!

Will be about online till I can't stay awake any longer but chat will have to wait for now as I need a shower, food, to unpack and do laundry and figure out why the compy is being disgustingly slower than before I left.

Love you all!!!!

Got home over half an hour last from work tonight because my ride was chatting...and chatting...and chatting to another worker -_- Am tired. Need Sleep. Need to finish packing.

Braska has been posted yay! I'll hopefully get him from Pondy and J on Monday.

Must get Janet's cell number so I can text room number for postage of Auron.

Working early tomorrow but everything will be ready in time. I've got a list on some essential stuff to do come morning.

Here's the fun thing...as with each year...prompt me for drabbles to keep me entertained during the flight should the mood hit. They will get written eventually. Ya all should know which characters/fandoms I write so go for it. If you're not sure I'll write something, leave two choices. Yes definitely write FF8, FFX, LoK, SO3, Suikoden...some FF7, possibly Bleach if the prompt bites and yes I have watched the latest subbed movie...maybe some Castlevania although it's been a while since I played CoD. This is open for about 24 hours, maybe a little less as I plan to be up around 5am-ish on Saturday and thus must be in bed at a reasonable time.

Time to watch some bleach and then pass out. Nite.

a week and a day [Sep. 12th, 2008|07:18 am]

gardensgnome
Mornin' and welcome to Friday.

Do not let the icon fool you as everything is very far from being under control but that's no different from usual really.

A week & a day to go *mad panic*

I'm running on about 4-5 hours patchy sleep. Was too wired after work last night and the insane 15 minute unpaid overtime rush of trying to get the aisle looking presentable. Do not want to do that again and expect to get in trouble for it today *shrugs* Working early today due to public holiday for the local show. 12.45-9pm = evil confusing hours but omg it's all at holiday pay rate! Next week's pay that includes all my holiday pay will be HUGE!

So, totally wired and unable to sleep right away I inhaled 2 cups of tea, put a pile of old cd's onto itunes and sort of cleaned up the compy desk. What I was supposed to do was fold laundry but it's still there, shoved behind the door. Will probably get to it shortly.

The urge to start packing it making me twitch.

I think the whole flying out next weekend is making me twitch. As usual I'm totally out of my depth with stuff still to do. The list will horrify you so I'm not putting it here. There's just so much to do and I'll toss myself in that direction shortly.

Remind me to submit prompts to [info]kinkfest! Also remind me to post to the rp as I've been seriously neglecting it. Also need to find my prompts to write list and notes for a few fics I might get the urge to work on while flying. Really though I want to sleep much of the flight next weekend.

I don't think there's much else to mention so I should stop procrastinating and get on with it...need more willpower to stay away from compy ^^;

of much random and no brain function [Sep. 10th, 2008|07:58 am]

gardensgnome
Mornin' all. Have been up for nearly and hour now and my god I'm so not awake yet.

Happy b'day [info]zalia. Have a bish filled day...or at least a bish filled rp day *grin* I'd vote for b'day cake at con but I think we're going to be consuming enough sweet foods.

Happy b'day [info]jlsigman. Have a great day of no dramas except for muses giving you porny thoughs ;)

No email as of yet from wig person but Pondy got back to me and suggested wig shopping in SF. Sounds like a plan to me :)

I dreamed last night/this morning but damned if I can remember what about. I don't think it was bad.

Uh...brain really needs to function here -_-

Much to do - laundry, general tidy, vaguely toss stuff about the room, much sewing...even more sewing. Need to check pay and see if they got it right this week as well as phone hotel from the hen's night as they've charged my credit card for something and I don't know what but we didn't do it either way *fumes silently* Good thing I check my statements.

Gotta zoom *loves on all*
