Cannot Has Legendary Halo Reach
Posted 15 years agoI pre-ordered it [going halves with my brother] back in May from GAME.
Changed the order details about a month ago 'cause my old card was expiring.
Abbey changed to Santander and then thought it was a brilliant idea to send me a brand new card FOR NO REASON.
Go to change the card on the order again and LO AND BEHOLD THAT PART OF GAME'S WEBSITE IS FUCKING DOWN.
I send a thing off to customer services to sort it out.
I have to call their 10 pence a minute customer services line.
The same day I get that email, they decide to ship out the game EARLY.
Guess what I was doing all day yesterday? That's right. I was curled up in bed in agony so I couldn't see this.
So now it's cancelled and I have to call them tomorrow to see if I can still get it, as the Legendary edition is SOLD OUT EVERYWHERE. Fuck this.
I've been saving up for it for months and this happens. Fuck me if I ever want to get something for myself anymore.

24 and Art
Posted 15 years agoMeh. I slept ten hours and I'm still all wierd and exhausted. I blame the off walnuts in my brownie.
24 today, woohoo.
This year has pretty much pushed my ability to draw to breaking point. Yesterday and today were both pretty much impossible. I don't know if I can get what I had back but I'm trying.
Today is my first birthday without my grandparents. We buried Grandad yesterday and Nanna has gone to Cornwall to visit her brother. I cannot describe how...off it feels.
Love you all.

Posted 15 years agoHow I'm Not Doing [pass on by, emo journal]
Posted 15 years agoStill here.
Not doing well at all emotionally.
Because Grandad was in hospital a lot before he passed, I keep thinking that he's still in there and that he'll be home again in a few days. But then I realise that I've got his quartz bracelet on.
I have never felt so alone before. I can't turn to the people I usually do because I get the feeling they're fed up with me being so "tragic".
I'm useless at talking to new people or noting them because I just go blank.
I'll never hear him say hello again.
I'll never be able to make him a cup of tea again.
I'll never hear him ask if we need help pushing buttons on our laptops, then panic and flail as he tries anyway.
I thought I'd have a Grandad forever.
Now I don't, and it hurts, and there's an even bigger hole.

Thankyou Grandad for everything you taught me, for all the love you gave me and for always believing in me.
I love you Grandad.
Waiting
Posted 15 years agoIt's just a matter of time.
When you're losing something precious and you sit there and every now and again you think of something you wanted to do, and you can't do it anymore.
When all you want to do is go back for one last hug, one last happy memory.
When all you have left are photographs and a voice in your heart. A smile in your mind.
When you're all alone and losing everything that inspired you in life.
And it all hurts so much.
Please help!

Avatar Special Edition Release
Posted 15 years agoAHAHAHAHAHAHA. AHAHAHAAA.
WHAT DID I SAY LYNN. THERE WOULD BE AN EXTENDED RELEASE.
Only problem is, the only version I can find so far is blu-ray, and we don't have a blu-ray player :/
I hope to whoever that there's a dvd version because if there isn't I will cry and be very very sad because I want to see MORE SHINY. MORE.
Amazon.co.uk only has the blu-ray though :<

Posted 15 years agoif you have somebody you love, somebody you care about, give them a hug digital or otherwise. tell them that you love them. let them know how much you care.
don't ever leave it too late.
don't ever be afraid to say so.
don't take them for granted.
because the more you assume they'll always be there, the more you'll hurt when suddenly they aren't anymore.
for one moment just forget everything you hate and loathe, push the bad things out of your head and just...tell somebody you love them.
please.

Please Read - Cancer
Posted 15 years agoFrom
's journal;
"A friend of mines father recently passed away due to Cancer. In his memory her uncle is running in the 'Underwear Affair' to raise awareness of the lesser known/less talked about cancers and raise money for the North York General Hospital's Cancer Care program.
If you can spare a tiny donation it will go towards funding this program, helping finding a cure and helping these people through their cancer and making their lives as comfortable as they can. Also if a lot of donations go in her Uncle will have to do the 10k run hehehe.
My friend is also going to try and run also. Unfortunately it falls on Fanexpo weekend and if David had not already bought the tickets I would go and run with her. But this is the least I can do, sharing this link with you guys.
Her Uncles page is here: http://www.uncoverthecure.org/site/.....;s_tafId=28934
Please at least check it out. The smallest donation accepted is $10 which I know may be steep for some.
Some of you may be aware that I've known a fair few people who have had to battle with cancer and some have lost. I have done my part in the past to raise money and I have even done a run similar to this before. Even the tiniest of help can go a long way, this can be something as mundane as donating a dollar, to giving a fellow runner a bloody mars bar to keep their sugar levels high enough to finish the marathon (thank you good Samaritan who did that for me! Somewhere out there!) to simply sending your well wishes, thoughts and prayers."
If you can, please help. I can't donate right now but if I could I would.

Unwell
Posted 15 years agoHad a painful stomach ache for about an hour now. Wouldn't subside by itself so I'm drinking tea to see if that'll help.
Then
surfaces again to tell me she won't be on for a good long while because her power supply has died on her and she can't get the charger she needs. So, fan-fucking-tastic end to the evening.
Anyway. Lurking about, unhappy and unwell. Meh.

Mr Marmalade update - UPDATE
Posted 15 years agoHe's started to go into his happy chrysalis!
At first I thought he might've popped it but after carefully tipping him out I saw that gasp, dark brown chrysalis!
I gently picked him up to put him back in the jar and IT TWITCHED ABOUT AND SCARED ME HALF TO DEATH.
I wasn't aware they could do that.
Aaaagh.
Also SO EXCITED.
I have popped him in a layer of slug pellet free potting material from one of the hanging baskets and in a different container. I'm going to pop him in the garage once it starts getting cooler and next spring I'll have to get him out!

Stupid yobs
Posted 15 years agoSo about fifteen minutes ago there's several loud bangs outside.
Brother sees some idiots tipping over the wheely bins outside.
We run out and they've tipped over most of the bins on our street and some on the next (we put them out the night before for the bin men).
There's a lot of elderly people who live on our streets, not to mention the lady next to us who's just recently lost both her husband and her sister.
We just spent the time running about righting and refilling the tipped over bins, some of which were pulled right into the street.
Who the fuck thinks this is funny? Who? Seriously. This isn't kids "just having fun", as it hasn't happened before. This is deliberate.
Don't care if you think I'm taking it too seriously because what if there wasn't anyone around to help? One the senior people could have hurt themselves trying to lift a heavy bin and refill it, or somebody could've had an accident with the ones out in the road.
They've been reported, though I doubt they'll be caught I hope somebody pulls them up.
