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.
