it went pretty well really. i had an okay time. my younger brother wasn't here, because he was off twatting about in some castle in scotland, which was a shame as i had planned to rant at him about the yeah yeah yeahs. but apart from that it was a nice family gathering.
last saturday was my last day at waterstones. as it happens, sunday is actually my last day at waterstones but last saturday was my last day in. and what did i get from my work colleague in recognition of more than two years working there? guess. if you guessed "fuck all" you win a prize! not even a bloody goodbye card. in fact to spoil myself on my last day i'd bought myself an eclair to eat on my break, but some fucker at work nicked it! can you imagine that, just going into the fridge and stealing someone else's pudding? well, obviously christian can, but to normal people that is surel just taking the piss. sigh
the journey down to oxford on a coach was fucking hell. the bus to birmingham was delayed nearly an hour, that wasn't too bad as i had an hour wait in slade-land anyway, but then it turned out i had to wait another fucking 100 minutes before the bus turned up to take us the rest of the way. i can only look forward to the journey back on monday with barely contained glee...
anyway here's an exciting list of what i got for xmas!
- a box of ferroro rocher
- a rucksack
- a jar of blackcurrants in vodka
- some after eights
- a light switch sticker cover thing
- a couple of shirts
- some money
- some blank cds
- candles
- a hat
- a jumper
- a rechargeable torch
- simpsons shower gel
- three calendars(!)
- more candles
- a pair of shoes
- some blank videos
- a bottle of vodka
- a lava lamp sort of thing
- a phone top up card
oh, and i got a slightly scary gimp mask squeezy toy thing off glenn & marie and a superhero book and some liqueors off christian & sian
not a bad haul really. the hat is awful, looks like something an amish girl would wear, and i can't see me hanging up the terry pratchett calendar anytime soon, but apart from that i think this christmas can be marked out by a load of presents that i probably will actually use. the shoes in particular are cool, lovely all-black hi tops my aunt got me from new york
went to ikea with andy today, got some cd racks. jesus everytime i go there i'm sure i can feel a little piece of my sanity being sliced away. i'm pretty sure i can only manage it four or five times tops in the rest of my life before it's sniper-rifle-and-clock-tower time
