I'd like to thank God, my parents, all my fandoms, all my RL fandoms, all my friends and especially you. Yes, you, the person reading this post. Because, lets face it, you rock!
Also, I'd like to thank Lampeter library for letting me go on their net there when it was shitty dial up and only one computer there.
I would post a load of my old entries under cuts, but my spelling has seriously gone down the pan since leaving school. Also, I'm afraid of petty, selfish, shallow me.
However, this post shall have links to things, and requests (cause OMFG I need these things), and a general love in. :D
So, first a link.
OK, not so much of a link as a YouTube screen. It's me, drunkenly singing. If you like, you may listen and laugh... (Of course, I find it hard to listen to it... Like, painfully hard, but listen, point and laugh! :D)
Now, songs I want you to listen to (then delete and buy the originals to support the artists). (Change xx to tt.)
Reel Big Fish - There Is Nothing Like A Dame
My Chemical Romance - All I Want For Christmas Is You
Hairspray 2007 Movie Cast - You Can't Stop The Beat (OMFG the Jive Erin and Austin to this? FTW!!!)
Miley Cyrus - 7 Things
Korn - Kidnap the Sandy Claws
Nightmare Revisited? Gonna get. The Korn track rocks, as does the Flyleaf track... It's a bit sad though... Prefer the FOB version, cause it's so upbeat, but yaay music!!! :D
On the note of music, has anyone got a karaoke version of Kidnap the Sandy Claws? Sounds like a weird request, but I don't want Zia to sing Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered in a Christmas show cause it's in the most awkward place and I'd rather have all three of the witches have another song together than have Zia randomly sing at the start of the fourth scene before you actually know that she's chasing a guy (also, she sings 'What Lola Wants' at the end, which is the total opposite of Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered cause Lola is about getting the guy, Bewitched is about being in love and being fucked over slightly by it).
...
And Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered is one of my favourite songs and I don't want her to murder it...
Anyways, this is the end of the 2500th post. I hope you enjoyed it (and I will most probs add to it with pictures and icons... Dunno yet...)
Work.

After this one it'll be 2,499, and then my next entry will be 2500!!! For me that is huge cause omg, 2,500!!!
...
It does help that my journal is over six years old.
I've finally watched the end of the first Deathnote movie! Light is a fucking twisted dude... Anime is better. Although the last episode makes me wanna headslap him for not being more reserved in his gloating.
OMFG!! NCIS!! Lee... Ziva... Tony... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!! Seriously, the first ep was good, and the second one was too! Like, with Miami, I was all like, 'Meh, whatever' about the second episode of season six, but the NCIS gods of writing have kept it up! I am so bloody happy that it's all been kept good, and I honestly can't wait for the story arc to continue in regards to info leak person!!!
I have work in just over an hour. Boring. :(
I actually had brekkie today. It was nice. Ok, I had brekkie at a brekkie time... Usually I have brekkie at brunchtime.

Good ep. Bit slow in places, but yaay Rodders and Jenny and Ronon!!! :: Claps like a seal ::

Three Little Maids - The Mikado (Gillbert and Sullivan)
I Can Do Without You All - Calamity Jane (No idea).
I can repay you with almost anything. You want fic, you can have fic. You want icons, you can have icons. I just really need these songs.

Post that picture with NO editing.
Post these instructions with the picture.
( Cause Rach can't remember how to make a thumbnail... )
Pardon the crappy quality. I took it on a mobile. Oh the fun and frolics(!)

So now I'm gonna check out how much of an eye-rape this icon I made over at Mark's is gonna look like...
[Looks]
You know... It's not so bad. A bit duller than I expected... Won't be using it though... Too dull for me...
But first freakin' place!!!
:: Coughs ::
I dismantled my bed today. My old bed anyways. The actual bit that you lie on (well, on a mattress on I mean) that fell on my foot, but it was only some sorta light wood so I was ok... Got a bruise coming up though (to add to my collection of bruises already on the bod of Rach). Meh.
It was Mark's birthday today. We watched the first hour and twenty minutes of Blood Rayne, but I got bored... Dreamcatcher? Such a good movie! Also, Damien Lewis can kinda pull off the American. Which rocks! Good movie... Shall have to read the book now. Oh! And I watched The Shawshank Redemption on Saturday. Why did I not listen to people when they told me about the awesome? I now need to read that too... And The Gunsligner, and a handful of other books... I'll be reading til Christmas... Yaay!!! :D
Now, I need to log off cause I need to sort out my room in the morning (as in, clear my shit out of mum and dad's room) and I need sleep... Maybe I should have less sleep cause I'm sleeping a good eight to nine hours now and I don't feel awake half the time. It's not good (but if I went to a doctor it would be to do with my weight and nothing else, so what's the point?).
Bed.

Did not like Whispers. Bring on next week's ep. (Yes, I realise next week's ep is tomorrow, but I know my luck, I won't watch it until next week).
And now, I hunt for food for I have work at one, and I need to eat.
Rach xxx
Want the next episode now... But need to learn script (or at least read it) for Friday. Urgh. :(
Got cold feet.

rainpuddle13I will write a drabble (100 words exactly) for the first ten people to comment and ask for one. In return, you must post this in your journal--if you feel so inclined. You may request the character and/or pairing - though I can't promise I will write them in a relationship - for the following fandoms: Harry Potter, Star Trek: Voyager, Stargate Atlantis, NCIS.
Proper post about my silly family to follow (cause OMG they are silly! :D But kinda annoying too...)

kejsarinna.Everyone has things they blog about. Everyone has things they don't blog about. Challenge me out of my comfort zone by telling me something I don't blog about, but you'd like to hear about, and I'll write a post about it. Ask for anything: latest movie watched, last book read, political leanings, thoughts on yaoi, favorite type of underwear, life experiences etc. Repost in your own journal so that we can all learn more about each other.
I'm 21 in just over an hour! (Technically, I don't turn 21 until 3:45 in the morning... But that's kinda stupid saying it so I shall stick to the original thought) Wendy gave me two bags full of stuff (that have paper on top so then I can't see what she's given me) that I can't open until tomorrow. That's ok... But giving it to me at 2:10 in the afternoon? That's just torture!!! I just had moments of squealing, 'I wanna open my presents!!' but I've been good. Not opened any presents or cards... I do want my prezzies though.
Going out tomorrow night. Cocktails at the Kingshead. Shall be fun! :D
:: Hugs her flist :: Love you all. :D

(My b-day prezzie from Ru is here too, but my b-day isn't until the 23rd, so I can't watch them until then... But the packaging is pretty, with Japanese stuff on it! :D)

The wake was good. Sat with Jake, Ru and Mark... Then we moved over to where mum and Tim were (Tim's a friend of the family). Had a laugh... Got pictures of the family. And Bagel Girl was working!! She's still totally cool. :) I went over to grandad's house for a little while, showed Mark around. Said goodbye to all the books and the pics and the room... Dad's getting the chance to disconnect from that part of his life, but none of us kids are... Well, I'm not. By the time he goes over, I have to get ready for work. :(
Then Tim went off to change and have a shower at his "knocking shop" - the b and b he was staying at. He came over, and we had Chinese take away for dinner... And lots of alcohol. We played Trivial Pursuit, but then he got too silly and tried eating the pieces so we all kinda called it a night. Mark thought Tim was cool, which is a good thing. :)
Sunday, I was getting dressed after having a shower, and I just got really sad. Mark and I went out town, got him some fags (yuck), got me some chocolate ice cream (tasted so good, but made me feel sick afterwards), got home, dad raised his voice and I just burst into tears. So I explaiened why and dad was really understanding. I watched a lot of NCIS that weekend. I think I've hooked my family. Saturday night, me, Jake, Ru and mum were all sat in the tv room watching NCIS. It was fun. :) Kinda like bonding sessions you see in family movies when they sit together.
So yeah, recap. I miss my grandad, mourning is not fun, I love Mark and I have hooked almost everyone in the house onto NCIS.
Work sucked yesterday. I didn't start fucking packing up until 5:35, didn't leave the shop until 5:55... I usually leave at like 5:40. WTF man, WTF? And now we have to wheel a fucking chest freezer AND a fridge freezer out each morning and bring them in each night. What the bloody fuck is with that? I have enough trouble bringing in the fucking wire bins that hold all the crappy shoes that go outside... I now have to start packing shit up at like quarter past five, which means I need to do all the eBay stuff before then, which usually is fine, but Mondays are killer so I basically use all my afternoon eBaying stuff, not cleaning/sorting stuff out/serving customers/killing my eyes with sporks. I hate fucking lugging kitchen appliances in and out of a fucking building. If I wanted to do that, I'd get a drivers licence and ask for Russ' job. Urgh.
I told Wendy I was almost crying on Sunday (cause I saw them in the shop so I went in to say hi and all), and she said she could see that my eyes were red and puffy.
...
HOW THE FUCK COULD SHE SEE?! I HAD FUCKING SUNGLASSES ON! DARK SUNGLASSES!!!
:: Sigh :: Sometimes I hate my job... But I like it enough (I don't have to do much, I get on with the boss, life there is ok).
Urgh.
Seeing Mark tomorrow. If it's nice we're gonna take Chloe (his neice) to the park. :) Should be fun.

I just hope to god we can look at the books before they all go.
Serious, grandad's book collection was serious business! So many encyclopedias, new books just been bought, old books that he's had for years, books on stuff he knew loads about anyways, books he didn't know so mcuh about, books you wouldn't think he would have... OMG I'm gonna miss him, and his house. Two, three weeks ago, he asked if I had read any Daphne du Maurier (is that spelt right?), so now I wanna read that. And the Yeats book I started, and the Narnian Chronicles he has all in matching book bindings. I hope dad has the decency to have the books in one place before people grab them all. Just so then people can see how many there were in one building.
It's my sister's birthday tomorrow. I'm giving her money for a haircut (that sounds like so little, but it's actually gonna get dyed and styled too, so it's a good prezzie). Jake's giving her a plush... I think. Yeah. Anyways, I know what I want. This. I Am Not A Paper Cup. Just so then I can Gibbs it up with a big coffee cup that looks like paper, but it isn't! :D
But anyways, I need some sleep (I'm hopefully seeing Mark tomorrow). Hope everyone has a good evening/morning/afternoon/whatever time it is with you.

He had such an interesting life though. He was a doctor in central London for years, and he was a police surgeon (he was the one to pronounce people dead at crime scenes) and he ran a pub for years, and he owned his own house (to me, that's a big thing, cause my parents rent a house). He had a massive book collection and, although slow, could tell you loads of really cool info. And even though we complained about seeing him every week, it's going to be really strange not seeing him. It'll be weirder for dad and my auntie, she would have dinner with him every Friday, and take his great grandaughter over to see him. Dad would take him shopping every Tuesday and we'd go visit every Wednesday. He would always call me Rach, not Rachel, like, 'Hi Rach,' and it wasn't the English pronounciation, but the Welsh, and that's a huge thing for me cause I hate my auntie for not having the decency to call me my name. He was polite and he rocked (as much as an eighty five year old grandfather could rock)... Actually his hands shook a lot, cause he had some shaking thing, that old people get.
But now he's with grandma and my uncle Steve. And dad and uncle Chris are executors of the will, and I forgot my grandad was Catholic, so dad's going to ask uncle Dom to call the bording school he went to to ask them to say a mass for grandad (grandad rung them when grandma died). It's just odd that he's gone.
So, dunno when the funeral is, but Mark's coming with me, cause I want someone to hold my hand and hold me back if my aunt pisses me off.
:: Hugs her flist :: You all rock.

If anyone can find me a tab of Love Don't Roam (it's a really rocking Doctor Who song) I will make them as many icons as they want, of whatever they want (yup, if you want me to make an icon out of your dog/cat/weenie/favourite actress, I will, and many of them). I just wanna play that on guitar.
I have work in the morning. Kill me.

T-Mobile rock. £140 worth of credit for minutes or texts, for £25. It's called the Flext plan, because it's flexible. It's amazing. And also, I don't have to worry about it; as long as the money is there when it gets taken out, I'm fine. Need to pay off the whole delivery and insurance thing... Gonna cancel the insurance, cause it's not insurance for the contract, but for the phone. So yeah, got to pay like £12, and the £25 for the contract, then nothing for a month. :D
So yeah, this is my new phone. ( My new phone ) It's so small and pretty. Buttons are a bit fiddly if you have long nails and fat fingers (which I have) but it's a decent phone. Speakers are a bit shit, but it's not a music player for me so it should be ok. Although, it plays .m4a files so I'm happy! :D
Bed now. I have work in the morning.
