Where? Anywhere I can find food and fresh water I guess, hehe
Book? JD Salinger, Catcher in the Rye
Film? Aside from the fact that I wouldn't if I were on a desert island, lol... Pirates of the Carribean. Arrrr!
Music? As above, but... hmm... I have loads of faves. Linkin Park / The Prodigy if I were in an adventuring mood, otherwise... Jeff Buckley, I think.
Partner? (Your reply was very ambiguous, Gwyn ;p I can't say who mine would be. Is a male, but is secret.
Essential Item? Machette (have to agree with you on this, hehe)
Thing you can't have but want? Internet. :o(
Clothed or Nude? Scantily clad.
Once you have set yourself up. Saved or Stay? Saved. I have too many people I love that I'd miss otherwise.

Myself - small and wicked, loving and affectionate. What more could anyone want? ;)

Regrets - Listening to my teachers and family when I was in school.
Family - Not quite far away enough from them yet.
Films - Moooooooovies baybee. Love watching DVDs and going to the cinema.
Faith - Pagan/Humanist.
Blogging - Duh.
Words - Can't live without them. ;o)
Friends - Lots; only a handful of good friends though, and unfortunately haven't met a lot of them in person.
Ideas - are the seeds of creation, and stuff. Get lots. Head gonna kersplode one day.
That enough for you, Mister Ankh? ;)

SAD
As in, Seasonal Affective Disorder.
Was almost dark when I got up this morning. How SAD is that? Raining and cold and windy - SADder still.
Very tired this morning. Guess I didn't get much sleep on the weekend - Charlie kept waking me up at inopportune moments -.- Derned cat.
Hmm, I know I had some spiffy news to write here but I can't remember what it was.
Oh!
I have a job yay :D (Thanks for the vote of confidence Rache ;o) )Been offered a 1 year contract at the place I'm working now, starting on the 1st of November. I'm temping here until then through my employment agency so I'll be working straight through. Yay!
I've extended my break to Italy for two days - I was going to come back on a Monday, but then Iain told me about a market I'd like to go see on Tuesday, so I'm coming back Wednesday. Had to pay £20 to change my return flight but hey - still £50 including tax and insurance for almost a week's holiday in Italy. Can't be bad, can it? Am quite excited now - could do with a break, and haven't seen Iain since the beginning of August. Miss him.
Next weekend is Avebury with TWI, yay. Excited for that. Weekend after is London with mum and aunty. And then, not sure when but on a weekend I'm free, going to visit a friend in Bath who works too much and needs to hang out with a silly pixie for a day to see the lighter side of life. ;o)
Anyway... guess I should go do some work now. Zzzzz.

Another day, another rip-off
Last month I got charged £360 by AOL for one month's service that should have cost £6. I phoned them, got £195 refunded to my bank and £64 credited to my AOL account for four months free service, and was promised that nothing would be taken from my bank account until January when the 4 free months were up.
Yesterday, I got charged £157 by AOL for the following month's service. -.- I called THREE TIMES, and finally got £100 refunded. I've still been overcharged by some £160, not including the £50 (at least) bank charges I've incurred because the bill from AOL took me over my overdraft limit.
Grrr!!
Always happens to me, dunnit. But then I believe that bad things happen to nice people 'cause nice people can take what's dished out to them without flipping out drastically.
I'm still alive. So it's all good ;)
Weekend went well... and that's all I'm gonna say cuz I'm hiding shyly from Alex-shaped blog readers ;)
Planning to go and visit Iain in Italy from the evening of the 24th November 'til the 28th November - for Thanksgiving weekend, since he has a 4 day weekend then. Wheeeee. Just need to find the airport 'cause it seems to be a very obscure one.
Should be hearing about a job I applied for this week - whether I've been shortlisted or not - then they're interviewing Monday. Arrrgh stress hate interviews - and this one's gonna be with people I'm already working with so double arrrrgh.
Oh well - week is over half done, yay.

Who's the King of your Satelite Castle?
Almost Friday. Almost, almost, almost.
(That's from the DMB song 'Satelite')
I spent 4 hours photocopying at work today. Wow. That's probably the bordest (yes, bordest is a word, cuz I just made it up) I've ever been. I was so bored that it inspired me to write a poem about photocopying (see my 'Waxing Lyrical' blog).
Tomorrow we're having a 2 hour lunch because a few people at work are leaving and we're going out for a meal. 2 hours w00t!! Mmmmm good food too I hope, not canteen food (but the canteen in work is nice and cheap and they always have a great salad selection).
Mkay, time to say some interesting stuff. Y'know in my last post I mentioned a few people I've been talking with from that loopy love website thingy? Well, one of them is coming to visit me on Sunday all the way from Worcester - called Alex. He's very nice and interesting and all the good stuff; we've spoken on the phone and online with webcams and stuffs - though obviously reserving final judgement (that sounds so ominous, lol) 'til we've met in person. But he reads this blog I think so hi Alex ;) (feels weird writing about someone when you know they're gonna read it... but he's part of my life at the moment, and since this is a blog about me, lol...). I'd post a pic of him here but he'd likely kill me ;oD
Anyway, that's about it for now. Other stuff has happened but I can't be arsed to write about it 'cause it's annoying and icky and makes me feel very... uncomfortable to think about it. Will fill y'all in another time.
