general life update

Well it strikes me that since I've moved I havent really talked to a lot of people, even with the internet at my beck and call. I've always been fairly crap at maintaining friendships across long distances though, I hardly speak to my school friends or any of the guys from TT (random welsh charity thing I used to be involved in), even though we all promised to stay in touch. So I'm a little worried now that I'm gonna lose touch with quite a lot of my mates from York too.

so with this in mind, a quick update on whats been going on in my life since I left York several weeks ago. (have cut to make journal look neater, cos i do go on a bit..)

( The Flat )

Beav bought the D&D Miniatures Handbook as a book to read in work, so we are now collecting the Minis and playing the game, since its actually not all that bad a game, and the minis are kinda cool. We're about to have a massive spending spree on ebay, for we have discovered people who have bought lots of the boxes and are selling the minis individually, so we can just get the ones we want, which is nice. Its nice to finally definately own something that is "ours", not just his or mine. Things like the bookcase and the bed etc already were "ours" but this is somehow nicer.

( Job Hunting )

In other news, we bought the Simpsons Hit and Run Game and its very cool; Beav has been very nice to me and bought me a sewing machine too.

Its kinda weird cos now we're back together in the same place Beav is doing more little things to show me he loves me. Like letting me have a lie in at the weekend, instead of demanding I get up at 9am like he does during the week (Even on fridays which is his day off). Like not complaining like a bitch when I see a big hairy black spider on the ceiling and want it removed - last night he just got up from his computer and did it without questioning or complaining or calling me names or anything. Like randomly taking me into town and buying me things like the sewing machine. Cooking me breakfast a lot. Not yelling at me when the house is a mess. Not complaining when I want to hug him.

Although he is still demanding that I'm not allowed to learn to cook...

yay for the sewing machine

just used my machine for the first time to finish sewing the sari curtain for my front door. took me about a minute, whereas it'd've taken me ten to sew it by hand.. i like those kind of numbers :)

D&D Minis

Hmmm ebay can be bad for you... Beaver and I just purchased 70 individual minis for a grand total cost somewhere in the region of ( embarrassingly huge amount of money )

...

all from the same guy, all bought within 1.5 hours of each other, i've been getting a constant stream of "bid confirm" and "end of auction" emails ever since.....

it'll be as exciting as christmas when they arrive!
