I need ALL the fruit. Also vegetables. I feel like we haven’t eaten a proper meal in ages. Someone do some food shopping for me please. I’m so tired :(

My main reaction to a lot of Stark-based incidents in A Song of Ice and Fire is just, why didn’t they pay attention to the fucking Direwolves?! I mean for god’s sake, the warnings are all there. Bloody stubborn Northerners.

I get to go to Poole next week to play with other Lushies for the Green Hero meeting. I hope they like me! I’m not going to know anyone! Oh god, it’s like the first day of Uni again…ahh!!

I’m not even the Green Hero for our store, but our Hero is on holidaze next week so she can’t go. I’m glad someone gets to, I think it’ll be valuable stuff to learn. Maybe they can give us tips on how to deal with the shopping centre’s ‘recycling policy’.

Might even have topped the New Year’s where I stayed in by myself and talked to Jase on the internet for hours.

Lots of laughs, Mike’s band played really well, I didn’t get stupid drunk, just nice drunk and we ended up at the Nag’s at like 3am to see all the directors and regulars absolutely wankered which was hilarious.

The Hobbit do pint cocktails named after Lord of the Rings characters and there are 7 and I drank them ALL. Aragorn is the nicest.

I’ve got a couple of books on the go at the moment but they aren’t anywhere near finished. I also just bought Mike the second Walking Dead book so I imagine I’ll delve into that in the next few days. Disappointing though, I really thought I could get 50.

Mike and I just had breakfast so he made us white russians to go with it. Omnomnom bacon and kahlua.

December:

• Ivo put on 2 amazing gigs at the Blag. Dirty Rev played on the Friday night, and Smokey Bastard played on the Saturday night. It was ace.
• I went out for lunch with Heredge, and we exchanged Chrimble pressies. It was both lovely and delightful. She was furry.
• Went to what might be the best gig of the year, Franz Nicolay, Ben Marwood and Chris T-T at the Rising Sun Arts Centre, a place I barely even knew existed.
• My friend Charlie had her bag stolen and I sent her a replacement copy of the book she was reading. Spreading Atwood love all over the place.
• Dressed up all nice like to go to the pub on Christmas Eve. Managed to not be a dick or make myself sad about Mike’s ex being there.
• Got new scales at work which was very exciting for everyone, except that one of them weighed things really differently to the other.
• Accidentally ran a whole day at work by myself, which went really well and which I really enjoyed. Made me really want the asst manager position.
• Didn’t get asst manager position and got demoted from supervisor for breach of confidentiality.
• Made a LOT of fudge.
• Laptop decided it would be a good idea to pop a hinge out, so glued it all up and bought a little netbook for travel/moving about around the house.
• Had a lovely Christmas day with Mike and duck and a lot of chocolate and presents and Skype and pub and friends.
• Caught up with most of the fab 5, which was lovely.

And here I am, hopefully going to Southampton for New Year’s Eve, but not entirely sure as to how we’re getting there yet. December overall probably the best and worst month, but it’s Christmas and I’m in love so 9/10.
