Work, work, work. Pantomime is here again. I did 11 hours the other day. I love it. ^_^
Last night I came home to find missus asleep on the sofa as she had been up since 6.45 or something disgusting like that and needed sleep. I don't remember much but we were looking at photos from the lake district that my mum and dad took when they went and some from Skegness. BLOOD CHICKEN...
Anyway, I started messing around with missus' camera and looking through the pictures when I accidentaly saw one that she'd used to make my one of my christmas presents so she got upset and gave it to me instead of waiting. I didn't really know what it was. She didn't have to give it to me but she felt like it was ruined so she'd rather give it to me than wait.
So, here it is;

Isn't it amazing!? It really has to be the greatest thing I've ever been given in my life. She looks just like her and the effort and thought she put into it makes me want to grab her and kiss her to death! Well, maybe not quite so severe.
Off to eat gingerbread Santa's face and get ready for work.
Oh no I'm not... Pantomime.

AND I just booked tickets to see Dylan Moran again!!! I may not be able to contain myself. Next year's going to be impressive. *nod*

Not really much to blog about really.
Starting work on sunday at 9 in the morning! On a sunday!! I ask you.
Just booked tickets to see The Mighty Boosh live! :| Slight excitement overload especially when added to the fact we just saw Rufus and are also going to see Edward Scissorhands the ballet.
I dunno if either of us blogged about the last one actually. I've no idea what to expect really. I'm sure it'll be interesting to say the least.
Can't be bothered to blog more. Too boring.
Gone.

Missus is asleep behind me and she looks so lovely. ^_^ I want to kiss her lots. She's so pretty.

TriWizard cup outside the Odeon in Leicester Square. No reason, just found it and haven't blogged it before.

There's a thing on Blue Peter about Narnia. I'm getting rather excited now.
I took missus to work earlier and couldn't be bothered to go the same way home that I always do, so I just started to drive out into the country not quite knowing where I was going. The sun was at a really nice height and it looked very beautiful. I've never been around that area before. It'd be a nice place to live, halfway between town and Chatsworth, kind of. Eventually I ended up on the road to Chatsworth so I thought I may as well carry on driving and go that way home. I stopped when I got to the top of the hill and decided to go pick some more heather, only with roots this time so I may be able to grow it. We'll see what happens.
It'd been raining really hard all morning so when I got onto the moors there were dozens more streams than there were in the summer. I ran to the top of the hill on the right side of the valley and looked across to the woods on the other side. There was mist rising from the centre of the trees and it looked other-worldy. I tried to take a picture with my phone but it's crap so it's not that good and you can barely see the mist. Here it is anyway;

I walked back around the side to the entrance of the woods and went in to look for some heather but then I decided to go and look at the waterfall and stream we found last time we went. (There's a picture of me on the broken stone bridge going over the waterfall on my myspace if you wanna see that.)
It was a lot more powerful and there were a couple more streams in there. I followed the stream as far into the woods as I could. This is a picture from the path level with the tree-line, again of the mist.

On the way down my mind started to wander. I've had this idea for a story in my head for ages but I just couldn't get it out. I could never get something interesting to form in my mind. But, as I went deeper into the wood, my mind wandered and the story started to write its self. I actually liked how it was forming in my mind, but then I always do, it's when I put it down on paper I can't translate what's in my head adequately. I'm not going to do anything with it just yet, probably out of fear of screwing it up, but it's there in some form.
After getting as far as I could into the wood I turned around and came out to look for the heather. It took me a while to pick some. I wanted to get some from a place where there was a lot to make sure I wasn't ruining the leftover plant's chance of growing. Plus, I didn't want to get one from near the animal's paths (as opposed to the human paths) 'cause they mark plants sort of like mile-stones. Eventually I found some that were suitable and easily pulled them out because the ground was so soft. Glad I didn't have to dig them out.
I got home and gingerly walked around the house soaked and covered in mud and then put the roots and a small plant into the Chatsworth D&B bottle we got ages ago to see if they grow. The rest of the shoots I stuck in the small jar outside that has our original heather in. We picked it months ago yet it's still alive, not growing unfortunately, but alive. These should grow. I'm sure. *nod*
Ok, going. That's enough boring information for you. I'm sure if you've just stumbled upon this you're riveted to your seat.
*eye roll*
bbye.

Missus did her hair with rollers and it looks all 40s and AMAZING. I can't believe I'm actually with someone this beautiful. Poor bruised missus arms.

Yoda:

Oh, don't you even try sneaking up on the little green muppet of kickass.

Here is what Jet just came home wearing. How? Why? Who knows. He doesn't even like beans! I personally think he saw me with my buff on yesterday and he wanted to look like me. Then again, maybe he's just a bin diving weirdo.

Just quickly (missus is cooking me lunch! ^_^) Here we are last night. Lindsay in her costume. There was actually a dress to go with it but she didn't bother with all of that last night. Just the cape and horns. Missus in her Lydia costume/Betty's witch hat. She appropriated it for the duration of the trick or treating. Then there's me in my "costume" which consists of my normal clothes plus a wand.
I love my wand.

Hallowe'en

Ok, so nearly every blog in the world is going to have pictures of their pumpkins from last night, but I don't care if mine's the same because I like my pumpkin. So there.
Above is my Harry Potter one. I really wanted to do Hobbes, but I couldn't draw it on there. Ah well, next year, perhaps.
This is the three of them together. Shannon designed the one on the left and missus did the one in the middle... but wait, she's even more talented than that!
She also did this on the back of the Jack pumpkin. Such a talented missus.
We spent most of yesterday looking for pumpkins, which I almost came to think was a hopeless cause, but we found them. It also gave us an excuse to go to Chatsworth, which is always magical. Oh yes, we bought a pumpkin decoration there too. I almost forgot about him 'cause he got put into our rose and didn't get to join the festivities last night. I'm going to call him... Rupert. Just because I can.
After our jaunt around the country in search of gourds we... slept. People started arriving and missus went upstairs to put her Lydia make up on. I couldn't think of a costume so I ate curry. Savannah and Shannon arrived in their costumes although after the initial, "how cute am I?" from Savannah the costume was gone and it wasn't going back on. Definitely not.
Lindsay, Naomi and I took the two kids trick or treating around the block. The first time any of us "adults" had been. I put my jacket on and then decided that I'd put my HP scarf on and grab my wand and bee Harry Potter. It wasn't that obvious who I was when people looked at me. Julie from across the road just thought I'd fallen out of the house without trying. But I got an excuse to play with my wand which I admit was more fun than I could possibly be allowed to have with a toy at my age. Still, it's Hallowe'en and all that. Just as we got to the top of the road a firework went off and Savannah stretched out her arms and ran towards Naomi who then had to carry her for the rest of the evening. After the first house when she had a lolly she was a lot better. She whimpered every-time one went off after that but by the end she was jabbering away to Shannon about how great they were. At least, I think so. She's not mastered many words yet.
So when we got in I got Shannon to start drawing her pumkin design and then cut off the top and then broke the news to her that she had to pull the inside out. I think she enjoyed it in that gross way kids do. Lindsay started cutting Shannon's pumpkin out and I did my design and cut it out etc. as missus was doing her deadly nightshade design. When we'd finished everyone slowly started leaving and we got down to the trashy horror film section of the night.
We saw the end of Friday the 13th. Which was enough. Then we watched Poltergeist which didn't scare missus. Then again, why would it? O_o
Then came The Hunger. Which. Well. I dunno. Boobies and David Bowie. I fell asleep at that point.
In all it was a perfect day. The best Hallowe'en yet. And the most complete. Pumpkin. Party. Trick or treating. Scary Movies. All bases covered. Plus Chatsworth prettiness and pumpkin adventures on top of it all.
Perfect.
^_^

I don't think I really need to say anything, do I?
^_^

Got pictures back today. For some reason the scanner quality is crap so I'm not gonna put the rest up until I get them looking better, but this one had to go up right away. This was Chloe last night after not having biscuits for about... five minutes. Probably. Anyway, ferocious beast ain't she?

Naomi's not a tiger, but I'm sure she'd try this anyway. *nod*

Isn't it always the way?

My missus in bed with her Care Bear. She's been working hard. :-)

All the kids. ^_^

Me, the missus, Lindsay and Shannon at my parents' 25th Anniversary...thing. I look like a doofus and missus looks kind of sneaky :-P still, it's a pretty nice picture.

Boo

O.K. So this is one of those 'boredom' post I do from time to time. I have nothing to say and...
and Jack just fell over and put the computer on standby. So I'm back.
I just remembered I have to pick photos up today!! YAY.
Just back from Lidl. Such a weird place. It feels continental though, so I kind of like it. Plus I usually come back with chocolate so that also gives it coolness points.
I bought a black and red stripey t-shirt yesterday. I'm going to begrudge wearing it SO much 'cause it's going to look so emo to anyone who sees. But, screw them. It'll be a Calvin t-shirt to me and Naomi and who else matters? No-one.
I'm gonna go and get photos.

Totally our life. ^_^

Despite knowing we could record videos on Naomi's phone, we never really used it until yesterday.
We went to Chatsworth after missus found out she didn't have to work and wandered around the way we always do.
First off we went to look around the shops in there at all of the Halloween and Christmas decorations. They were all very cool and I wanted them all.
Then we wandered up to the cool tree which we both love. It's so Sleepy Hollow/Peter Pan/Harry Potter-ish. That wont make much sense to anyone other than us. Anyway, while up there I had the idea of recording the water running down the hill. I love the sound of running water, especially in somwhere so quiet and magical looking. So HERE is the video.
There are more but that one's the best.
Then we went back down to the Coach House for some food in the restaraunt. HERE is a little video of that which missus took by accident.


One of the coaches.

Huge Chandeliers.

Missus in the restaraunt looking lovely, as always.

So after eating and taking lots of pictures we went and bought a pumpkin. I know it's early but it's only small. It's a 'practice' pumpkin before we get a bigger one for Halloween. Plus it was a Chatsworth pumpkin which makes it all the more special.
We were going to do a picture of Hobbes, him being orange and all, but it was a little small to get a picture of him onto and neither of us had much success drawing him on a round surface like that. So we may save that till the bigger one. As a consolation we decided it still had to be Calvin and Hobbes related so we did their skull and crossbones symbol from G.R.O.S.S.

There it is in front of the fire. Because it's so small it also emits a near perfect skull and crossbones in light when it's near a wall. Very cool.

After all the not-quite-halloween-but-almost shenanigans we went to see Domino.
There were boobies... Keira boobies. Missus got jealous. I didn't look.
All in all the film was o.k. Not good but still watchable and pretty nifty looking. Although all that flashy visual stuff did get old and it dragged in parts. Still makes you want to be a bounty hunter. Until you realise you're not a red-neck and you've never been on (or wanted to be on) Jerry Springer.
I think I'm going slightly off the point here which probably means my concentration's gone and I have nothing else to say.

I know missus is going to check this when she gets home and she always gets excited when I've blogged so, crappy as this post probably will be, I'm going to give it a shot.
Yesterday was a pretty bad day really. Stuff happened to Naomi at work and she was upset last night. I tried to make her feel better and hopefully I did a little bit... eventually.
Today we got up early to go and get Naomi's uniform and had a really great morning wandering around shops in town.
We went to Wetherspoon's where a really pissed off guy served us food.
- I put stone things into this oil burner. How do I know when they're hot enough... or too hot! O_o
After Wetherspoon's we went into Huckleberry Willow and looked at all of the Christmas decorations and other pretty things.
Actually, screw this. It was just lovely and I'm going to keep it to my self.

As for YOU missus. I love you and the amazing life I have with you. The end.
^_^

Well, here I am at home on my own. I got up and took missus for her first day of work this morning so I'm sat here and she's off being all... productive and crap.
We saw Pete on the way and talked to him for a while. He said I should be glad I'm not in because the G and S company are in and it's pretty dangerous. I'd still like to be there. I love working there.
Speaking of work, I may be going in to edit a film at SIF for the first time in about a year and a half. I'm not feeling too comfortable about it. I can just see it being awful the way it used to be and it came completely out of no-where which puzzles me. Still, it's money and we'll see how it goes.
I've been thinking a lot about last year recently. It all make me feel like such a weak and horrible person; the things I did and the way I thought, it was really so far from who I actually was it makes me sick to think it was me. I was not much better than everyone else. I was always hard on myself about honesty, my morals and my resolve to do what I thought was right. Maybe the latter was the thing that got so easily exploited and caused most of it. I just wish I hadn't lost that when Naomi and I fell out or whatever it was. I wish I'd stayed true to her in every way. Not just in my heart as I did. It was one thing to always know she was my soul-mate and always lover her, but it would have been another thing entirely to show it by pledging myself to her even when she didn't want me. I just thought there was no point and everything was finished between us and I should get on with my life. I hate myself for being weak at that time specifically. Perhaps that was for the best in some ways. It taught me a lot of lessons about trusting people.
I just made the bed there and I've lost my train of thought.
Anyway, I was doing...something earlier, no idea what, and I suddely thought about searching for my facebattle profile again. I've not been able to find it before because it seems like they don't cache. Today, however I found 2 of mine and one of Naomi's. One of them is a later one from around my birthday and it's got things on it that I don't like seeing and I know Naomi wont like. Nothing serious, just me being nice to people that didn't really warrant it. The second one of mine was from when it was first made and it has comments by my missus, the way we used to talk to each other when we first fell in love. One of the greatest things I've ever seen is when a guy commented on her profile that the two of us really had something when, in actual fact, we didn't. We were just friends, but it was that obvious there was something between us. Neither of us ever saw it. We didn't think in those terms. We were just what we were. Shane and Naomi: two halfs of the same soul. Just two people who instinctively understood each other and were never going to be seperated now that we'd found each other. Not that we needed each other in a bad way, just that we were each other and knew that we were never going to be apart from then on. It just didn't seem possible to us. Like the connection you have with your family only more so. It wasn't a blood conection or a love connection, it was so, so much more.
Ok, I dunno what else to write about and I've rambled long enough. Not long until I fetch my missus home.
^_^

Story of my life :-P

A random picture I just took of the table when I put the webcam back because it looked cool and shiny.

Well, missus is downstairs having a nap and I just randomly clicked on blogger so I may as well blog something now I'm here.
We just got back from visiting Belfast which was so-so. It was nice to be back there in all those places that mean so much but it was really nice to get home.
I'd go into the whole journey and everything that happened while we were there but I can't really be bothered. Forbidden Planet and Cafe Vaudeville were definite some good points. As were most of the conversations me and Naomi had. I've never really stopped and thought about it until just there, but I really do love talking to her. Not that I haven't thought it or felt it before, I've just never had it as an actual stand-alone thought. That the conversations themselves were great, not just because they were with her.
I bet that makes no sense.
I was really pining to go to Chatsworth while I was over there and I still am. It'll be strange being there when it's not nice and hot, but it'll give it a different charm, I'm sure. Kind of like the first time we went there.
I only started this blog on Naomi's orders and whatever I wrote on it was mainly for her viewing which is why I don't blog that often anymore. In fact, the only reason I am now is so that she has something to read when she wakes up. I wish I could think of something better. Something romantic or something that would make her happy or cause her to smile. She has such a beautiful smile. I'm gonna blog a picture...let's see what there is.

Us in Chatsworth this Christmas. I think so. ^_^
I was going to blog the picture of the presents that missus got me when she met me from work but I couldn't find them. I may blog them another time if I find them.
Anyway. I think I'll go read Calvin and Hobbes now.

Missus and Jack stroking Chloe.

Jack and his friend... Jack. Oh yeeeeeah

Bored, lonely, waiting for missus feet.

You Should Learn French

C'est super! You appreciate the finer things in life... wine, art, cheese, love affairs. You are definitely a Parisian at heart. You just need your tongue to catch up...

What Language Should You Learn?

"Always hoped that I'd be an apostle
Knew that I would make it if I tried
Then when we retire we can write the gospels
So they'll still talk about us when we've died"

Jesus Christ Superstar. Really, there aren't words.
I dunno what to blog about. I just want to say that I love Naomi. More than anything. This song is slightly distracting for this type of blogging.
These are not my pants.
I really can't express my love for her enough. Everything I say sounds trite and it doesn't seem to have any meaning. The only thing I can think of doing is showing her how much I love her in my actions for the rest of my life.
This is the time of the revolution of the pants.

So here's us in Buxton. Nothing was open, but some of it was very pretty and I had an ice cream, so I'm feeling good about the outing.
Missus looks just like Katherine Hepburn in this, only with a less huge fringe thing going on. *nod*
I dunno what else to write about today. We saw a dwarf house which was possibly an entrance to a mine... we'll never know.
Oh yes, I bought missus a chocolate frog, just like Harry Potter. Although, for some weird reason she chose the one with a stick up its bum. O_o I dunno why I didn't think to get myself one actually... probably because I wanted it to be something special for her. ^_^
O.K. Food. Check Naomi's blog for an real blog about today. I'm just useless.

This is what happens when you're as amazing as Naomi.

"Some Glassware and ceramics may be radio active."
ME: Well, they were made in 1936. People have been eating out of them for 70 years and I've not seen any radioactive grannys walking around.
NAOMI: I know. Life is so boring.......... Imagine if you saw a radioactive NUN! With her thing all green, but only in U.V. light........ Maybe they ARE!!"

And we didn't even end up drinking the lemon alc-ee-hol.

This is missus on the beach being all back lit and interesting while eating a a strawberry.
WHY wont this stupid phone work!?
Anyway, we went to Skegness this weekend and as you can see from the picture below it was pretty cold when we got there and I threatened to wear my scarf and my mum's gloves, but it was ok later.
I realised a great word for describing Naomi this morning, "stunning." That does her more justice than just "pretty" or "beautiful."
I keep getting distracted and I can't remember what I was saying...
So, we went down to the sea with Shannon and she pretty much dragged missus in with her. Naomi, in her wisdom went in fully clothed and ended up getting soaked. So I turned my trousers up as far as they would go and went in too but a wave hit me and soaked them anyway so I just put them back to normal and waded in fully clothed too. We were wet and uncomfortable for quite a while but you have no idea how nice it feels to put dry shoes on in that situation.
mmm, giant buttons.
We had a short attempt at castle building but Savannah-zilla decided today wasn't our day, so the three of us went for a walk to dry off. We played on a miiiiiiillion grabber machines trying to win an Eeyore (definitely not a Crazy Frog complete with penis. Very creepy) but we didn't. We did, however get a psychic prediction from Psychic Sarah which was... interesting. O_o
OK, we have to go. So I guess I'm done.

So, yes. Skegness is cold.

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

I love Naomi more than anything in the world ever. Plus, I love her tired morning face. It's so cute. ^_^

I don't really blog much anymore. Mainly because I'm to busy being with Naomi and have no reason to actually go online or because I'm stupidly tired from working (only three more days to go.)
So, as of late I've become incredibly addicted to bejewelled. So much so that when I close my eyes I can see it. :| Scary.
Anywho, it's starting to smell pretty nice in here. That's a plus. It's also incredibly random, sorry.
We wanted to do something last night but couldn't think of anything interesting to do (being that the only thing you can do is go out and get drunk which is just pretty boring when it comes down to it and the other drunken idiots engender a murderous rage in us both most of the time.)This being the case we went to Blockbuster and rented "Inside I'm dancing." which, I didn't really want to see but Naomi's wanted to for a while.
It was ok for what it was. It just wasn't a "film". Something that gets to me about films made over this side of the pond is a tendency to have no real confidence in the film, sometimes with just cause, and therefore make it so it's acceptable for T.V. broadcast if it doesn't get picked up as a "real" film. And that's the thing that I didn't like about it. It was just like watching a T.V. drama which is fine in its self, but as a "film" it just falls short of full-filling what it is. For what it was, though, it was ok.
Speaking of T.V. drama, "Lost"? Really, I don't get what all of the hype is about. It's just a typical american show but there's not even anything out of the ordinary to it. Maybe the story gets more interesting as it goes along, but the way it's shot is far too bland and the characters are really poor. I can't tell whether this is the fault of the actors themselves or just the material they've been given but they're all pretty run of the mill performances either way.
OK, back to the story. So after we went to Blockbuster I went crazy and bought myself a McDonalds just to feel like I'd bought myself something I didn't want or need to make it feel like a treat or something. I dunno, it's been a while since I've had money and I didn't feel guilty for spending £3.50 on myself or whatever it was.
I don't think much else of interest happened. By then I was really tired and my memories from there are pretty hazy at best.

Then this is a very cool looking compass from Chatsworth.
So, now to actually blogging.
When I got home from work I picked Naomi up from Clay Cross. She was in Kwik Save (ew) buying ice rockets and I was trying to find her but kept on missing her. I finally caught up with her at the newspapers, hugged her and said, "I'm like a ninja."
Hm.
I'm just trying to think about it and this morning seems like forever ago and I can't remember what happened. O_o
For whatever reason, I suggested going to Chatsworth after we went to town, so we did. It's all so pretty and old-house-ey, yeah. The gardens are the best bit though and the weather today was perfect for just wandering around and sitting in them. It was all very lovely. We saw almost all of the gardens. It's the first time I've seen that much of them. It was full of people with their kids and they were all running around in the cascade so, of course, so did we. Someone had managed to put a question mark on the floor of it (no idea how) and I wanted to take a picture, so, in I went. I couldn't be bothered with the whole, shoes off, wet feet, dry feet, shoes on thing. So I just went in and got utterly soaked. Only a little at first but then we walked all the way to the top and that was it.
Oh yes, I forgot. Missus wrote me a lovely note this morning and put it in my pocket without me knowing so when I was downstairs getting ready to leave I checked my phone for the time and found it. It was such a wonderful thing to get. Especially at that time in the morning. I needed to be cheered up by something.
So then, after Chatsworth we went to take the films to Frida and came home I'm hungry the end.

Complete with a SIR figure. I may re-paint it to be a GIR though, for obvious reasons. *nod*

Zim's house arrived today!! Look at its coolness.

I was looking through music videos to put on myspace earlier and really wanted to put this one on, in fact did until I found The Reindeer Section.
This is just too cool, however, not to be somewhere in my on-line life, so, here's Rufus;

Naomi,

I do.

Well, if you've read Naomi's blog you already know everything about what I'm going to blog about. It was all very lovely.
My mum was in the kitchen and I went in for some reason and she showed me a red, heart-shaped ring box. She opened it and asked me if Naomi would wear a ring like that and I said, "probably, why?" She said that it'd be nice for Naomi to have it and that I could give it to her if I wanted and if she liked it.
So, I went back into Naomi, who was on the floor with the cat, and pulled her over to the sofa with me and showed it to her and asked if she liked it. She said she did and I asked her if she wanted to wear it and she said she did and I gave it to her to try on. It fit and she was smiling a lot and saying she liked it, then asked me if I was going to do it all properly. I got down on one knee and asked her to marry me, properly this time, and put it on her finger.
All the while she looked like she was going to cry. She didn't, but I got that it was very moving for her.
I couldn't help grinning for most of the rest of the afternoon.
I'm not even going to write that I'm so happy because it just doesn't do it justice.
I just kissed her upside down and I've gone all dizzy. So that's your lot.

Missus came home last night. She's currently in the bathroom cleaning most of the stuff from her bag because shampoo went everywhere.
I was so happy when I saw her at the airport. I had to run across to her, I couldn't walk. It was so incredible to feel her in my arms again. We walked over to the car smiling and holding each other lots and then kissed lots when I was putting her suticase in the boot.
I took her around to the hotel/business park bit at the side to where I called her the day she left to show her the rabbits. There were a lot about being all cute and things. Being with her there, like that, was so amazing. I'd missed her so much.
When we got home Chloe greeted her and wasn't annoyed at her leaving which was a surprise. She usually gets in a mood. We went up to our room and she showed me all the stuff she'd brought over with her and gave me my present. Grumpy indeed.
Then we just spent the whole night together not really even talking, just enjoying being together, and didn't get to sleep until about half four.
Today we went to town to get photos developed from over there. They're really pretty. She's such a talented wee thing. ^_^
Now I've got to go make salad.

Seven hours and twenty five minutes.
I presume missus is still in bed 'cause she's not answering.
I got called from work this morning to work tonight but I wasn't sure whether I'd be able ot finish work and get to the airport in time so I had to tell them I couldn't do tonight. I'm doing the rest of the week though so I should be getting a bit of money soon. Which is a relief.
Only problem being it's follow spot again. I hate it. It scares the crap out of me 'cause it so much more high profile than being behind everything and not being seen. If you screw up, people see. Plus you have to talk on the headsets. Anyone who knows me knows that's not a strong point for me.
I'll survive though. I need the money.
Ok, I'm gonna go and get missus to answer me 'cause I love her and miss her voice.

Look at her! Even when she's being weird and slightly scary she's still the prettiest thing ever. ^_^

Got woken up FAR too early this morning by missus texting me because she had to get up for church. It's the first time in ages I had that, "I'm reading this message but I may be asleep before I finish" feeling because I was so tired.
I think I replied. I'm not too sure. Later she sent me a picture which was so beautiful I can't even begin to describe. I'm so glad she's been able to send me pictures of herself while she's been away. It's helped a lot with the feeling of missing her. Plus, it doesn't hurt to have such amazing pictures of someone so perfect to look at all the time. ^_^
I stumbled upon a website featuring old comic book covers and got very disturbed. How do they not know what they're writing? Some of them are so blatant.
Anyway, now I'm talking to missus. Only 24 and a bit hours until she's home. I can't wait.

Last night.
Last night.
Was...amazing.
I just wish she was home so that we didn't have to talk like that over MSN. I want her to say this stuff in person.
It all just flowed so easily without it ever needing to be pushed and proved how perfect everything about us is.
It was easily the most special, incredible and loving MSN conversation I've ever had.
Today...not much. I'm going to Lindsay's dance show later and then possibly out afterwards, but I may escape sooner if I can.

Look at the pose. She's just itching to be a model. Look at her swinging those hips. :-P My beautiful missus.

"For the man who has nothing to hide... but still wants to."
Obviously not Jet.
Missus left this morning. It was really quick which meant it wasn't too bad, (i.e. not dragged out)but it was bad enough. I wanted to run over and kiss her when she was in the queue but I thought I might get jumped by security or something.
I wandered back to the car in a slight daze and then drove out of the airport to park up and talk to her while she was waiting to leave.
The place where I parked was full of wild rabbits/hares, I dunno which, and two baby ones were running around eating grass and flowers in front of my car. They were very cute and tiny.
My computer just went insane and I totally lost my train of thought.
um, yeah. I went to Shannon's sports day this afternoon... eventually. I was sat at the back in the shade just hoping missus would text me. It was weird being there alone. It's the type of thing we do together that is extremely... not boring, but not interesting. They're always fun with her though just because it's lovely. That doesn't really make sense, but I get what I mean.
It's hard to type being this restless.
I'm just gonna leave it at that. I'm sure I'll be bored later and blog something else. Or make a myspace if I can be bothered.

I just found this. I dunno if I've blogged it before or if it was Naomi, but here it is again because I think it's great.
The people in Big Brother are sending me insane. How are people actually like this?
Ugh, really.
Missus is leaving me on Wednesday for about a week. I'm going to miss her so much. It'll be amazing when she comes back though. ^_^

Lightning earlier tonight. Can't really be bothered to blog more, I'm too fat and disgusting.

Missus wants me to shut up so she can watch big brother. She's even turning it up right now because of my typing. HA. She loves big brother and this will forever be here to document this shameful fact.
ok, done.

"He had weird toes. They made me cry." - Naomi.

I miss you :( I love you, I wish you were home now

Everytime Hollyoaks starts on TV and I'm unlucky enough to have channel 4 on there seems to be either a Snow Patrol song or some other song I like. It's an awful show and everybody knows it.
Now there's a new show doing exactly the same. The O.C. seems to constantly have songs I like on it. Stop trying to make your show seem good by using good music. Try hiring good writers and people who can act and putting them in a show about something. You're all hacks and your shows are only watched by people whose lives are so mundane the characters on tv substitute for their own.
Don't even get me started on Desperate Housewives... GAH

My 21st

Red Lion. In honour of Sin City.
(You have no idea how difficult this was without photoshop.)
Ok, so we just saw Sin City. It looks amazing. I was going to write and in depth review, but I can't really be bothered. Basically, lots of violence, anti-heroes and naked women running around the place.
The pace of it was a little slow, like flipping through a series of comics. So, I guess it just means it stuck close to the feel of the source material. I've never read it so I can't comment on the accuracy.
The way stories weaved in and out of each other wasn't novel but it worked.
I'm starting to lose my train of thought.
Extreme violence in a film has to be justified. Either by an emotional lever or by having an extremely well written and performed character that's given a reason to get away with. This didn't really have that. Even the cop, who was the best bet for it, didn't really pull it off for me. Strangely though, Marv did.
I can't think of a coherent way to wrap this up and I'm submitting things to DA at the same time and want to get it over with so I can eat and kiss Naomi lots. Maybe I'll come back to it after time thinking about it.
For now, done.

You are my Joy.
VERY cool picture. We went up the crooked spire today. Which I've never done before. Strange. Anyway, it was very pretty and spiral staircasey and high.
When we got home I...slept, a lot. Now we're waiting to go and see Johnny play a gig somewhere.
FLY. It's going to eat my missus. I better go save her.

My missus being all...sunny. We won festival tickets today on ebay. They're weekend tickets but we're going to end up missing the first day ("which had crap on it anyway" - Naomi)'cause I'm on a photo shoot. Oh yeeeeeah.
It's going to be quite a thing to get there and about a year on the train coming home, but it's gonna be fun.

"Chlo the Jedi"
Indeed she is.
NAOMI - Do you know what I realised on the escalators today? I'm a rare species! There's only about one and a half million Nothern Irish people. There're about 48 million English people. You don't get many of us."
ME - "So this is what goes through your head? You great big weirdo."
Mmmhm.
O_o

I took my parents to the airport earlier. Now Naomi and I have the house to ourselves (except for Lindsay, of course.)
This picture is Jet's girlfriend. I went to look for Jet and she came running through the door. There was lots of cuteness and she apparently liked us very much. Jet kept on walking past the door trying to be cool in front of his lady friend.
Now he and Charlie have both run outside, presumably to contend for her attention. Chloe's come up to bed with us, although, it took some persuading. She was very put out by all the attention she wasn't getting. She looks pretty ok now though.
OK. To bed. I think "The Phantom" is on soon. What a way to spoil a classic comic book character.
