me just in our local Boots to the salesgirl: 'Do you have Bepanthen cream?' She: 'What?' 'Bepanthen Cream!' She: 'What is that!?!' me, spelling it out: 'B E P A N T H E N cream, what you cream a babies bum with!' She: 'Never heard of it!' Goes looking into the baby aisle: 'Oh, there it is!' *slaps head* Ah well, at least I've got it now... 

Went to The Boat cruise last night and had quite a good night - albeit freezing my ass off and using Ben's jacket (poor him had to freeze instead of me *G*) - What on earth made me think I wouldn't need a jacket on a boat cruise... Was really tired though and took a cab from London Bridge to Kennington and hopped on the nightbus home from there - couldn't be arsed to take the nightbus from London Bridge to Kennington as I never know where to get off when I don't know the area. Managed to crawl into bed at 2.45 and was up at 8.30, courtsey of the toddler screaming its head off next door *sigh* I swear, that child has lungs, it's unbelievable.

Anyway, the ink is healing nicely (hopefully!) it's gone a bit grey and it's still sore and hurts when I walk/get up, and I think it's scabbing too. I wash it gently every 3-4 hours, pad it gently dry and cream it with Bepanthen cream and take care not to bump it (and sleeping on my back/ left side)

Actually, I will try to sleep on my back from now on anyway, because when I sleep on my stomach/sides - which I absolutely love - my face gets crushed and every morning I have a crumpled face, and I already got some fine lines down my cheek from that :( Damn my old age! *G*  

Already went to the new flat twice today to move more of my stuff - 90 % of my clothing is now there *G* - sorted the electricity key out (had to get the emergency services to visit us as the key wasn't working). Missed Shipwrecked *gnah* Have to watch the repeat on channel4.com/watchonline when it's on....

Right, now I'm hunting for the Dr Who episode from last night, which I missed because I had to head off to The Boat. It's not easy to ignore the threads about last night's episode that are whizzing on the various forums I'm on...

Current mood: tired

1:28PM - Season 5 Doctor: All Change?

I'm going to read more into this quote than probably intended:

"Tennant has been confirmed to star in the lead role for a number of BBC One specials next year. The fifth series, with Bafta-winning writer Steven Moffat at the helm, is scheduled to be broadcast on BBC One early the following year. Moffat is to take over from current writer and executive producer, Russell T Davies, from 2010.

It's the first line "Tennant has been confirmed to star in the lead role for a number of BBC One specials next year. "

"a number of BBC One specials" - so maybe not 'all' of them.

I don't think Tennant will be the Doctor when Steven Moffat starts weaving his magic at the beginning of Season 5.

I also agree with some of my friends that Steven Moffat should bring back one of his own creations as the Doctors Companion - Sally Sparrow.

Dear Harley,

You've known me for only four months, but that's four months where we've spoken for hours each day.
And yet, you don't know Writer!Lou.
How strange.
But don't call this behaviour strange please, because I like you. But Writer!Lou has been around for much long than you have.
And she'll be around much longer than you will.
So I think you should get to know her.

According to a friend of mine, a group of trans women at London Pride got told "trannies are supposed to use the disabled loos because the women's loos are for women".

They then called the cops on the trans folks in question. The police then tried to arrest them for protesting in a private area (presumably land pegged out for pride at this particular point), with the LGBT diversity officer demanding that trans women display their gender recognition certificates if they want to use the right fucking bogs.

Fucking typical.

3:09AM - Significant Other? Just say we were lovers and we'll call it even.

Dear World,

I am older. I don't know if it's that I have suddenly realized that I have put my life and my possessions in order or that I am now ready to break free of my tethers and taste freedom as I had not been prepared to do before, but I am older. I know you better now, World. I know your Goodness and your Wickedness. Not all of it to be sure, but enough to make me feel less like a newly hatched duckling and more like a swan.

This does not mean, however, that I am ready for the kind of relationship you seem to want me to get into. I have felt nothing for any of the guys you have tossed into my path with offers of romantic attachment. For the moment I am satisfied (enough) with B and our non-relationship. Sometimes I hate him and sometimes I hate that I like him at all, but other times he makes me happy. He makes it easy to stay detached, which I seem to like.

I'm sorry. I may be older, but maybe I'm not ready to settle down yet. I'm still sort of waiting to be swept unexpectedly off my feet. It was close once, but that turned out to be a false alarm.

Maybe wait for me to get a little older?

Love,
NK

2:28AM - nose piercing

This is my first post on this community, and I have a quick question. I've had my nose pierced for several years and I've mostly had a L shaped post in it. I've tried a hoop before and usually it never works, but I put some vaseline on my nose and it went in fine for once. Well today my nose is real sore and theres like a lump on the inside and its kind of oozing clear stuff on top. Its really red and a little sensative to touch..Any suggestions on what I should do? Anything would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

10:52PM - Cartoon tutorial and more!

Looking through my old photobucket, I found a comic-style tutorial I did on how-to-put-up-your-mohawk for a (lazy, annoying, not-too-bright) kid I used to know that would CONSTANTLY ask me to do it for him. I think one of the MAJOR laws of being worthy of a mohawk is having the ability to put it up yourself; and even if you can't put it up well, you better be okay with the fact that you put it up shitty, but, HEY, it's still a mohawk!

J&S,

So, I'm worried. I haven't seen either of you online in far too long, or B. I'm hoping it's just some strange coincidence but I don't knowwww, I don't know. There's no way for me to find out and that's frustrating. If this were a normal thing, if we had broken up on our own terms, I could at least go through some complicated network of friends and old friends and exfriends and semienemies but this isn't a normal breakup situation. I can't go through anyone because there ISN'T anyone. There isn't anyone and even if there were, I'm not really supposed to know.

But I want to know. And I'm worried.

I want everything to be okay. I need it to be. It's so fucking close, now. It's so close. I'm not trying to make things the way they were, or even anything close to that. I know that's not a possibility. I just need to know, and.. I need everything to be okay now so that I can find out in, more or less, 7 months.

C'mon. Give me a sign. Somehow, through the sun and the sky and the earth and the moon, through the energy of life and the ever present hum of the universe, let me know you're okay. Okay? Okay.

Okay.

11:31PM - dear boy,

I'm really sorry that I'm so depressed that I'm letting it get between us.

I don't feel sexy at all, and I know it shows when we see each other. I promise I'm working on it and hopefully I'll be able to snap out of it soon. Meanwhile, thank you EVER so much for being so understanding and patient. I hope your patience doesn't run out before I'm back to my old self again. Something tells me, since you're the best thing to ever happen to me, that you'd never let that happen.

Maybe instead of being a scared little girl I'll actually talk to you about this tonight. I am scared, though.

Love,
your girl

2:43AM - (Film) The Mist

Just got back from the midnight showing of The Mist, which has only just been released here in the UK despite being released last September in the States! It seems like it won't be on for long either as the local cinema had two showings this week 11.40pm Friday and Saturday night!

Anyway, daver2323 suggested it so he, crookedmonkey, dredd_bob and myself headed through the late night mean streets of Finchley (ahem) to watch the film.

Now before I go into the film I'd just like to say that I generally am not a fan of Stephen King - his books nor the film/tv adaptations based upon them. Sure there's been one or two over the years (The Green Mile is a fantastic film) but generallly, no. The Mist is based upon one of his novels so I wasn't sure although the Director, Frank Darabont, was also the man behind The Green Mile so worth a shot I guess.

Damn right it was worth a shot.

I think The Mist may be the best film I've seen all year at the cinema so far. I'm going to sleep on that but my current top two are Iron Man and Cloverfield and The Mist certainly beats Cloverfield for me and is giving Iron Man a good run for its money.

I loved it. The creatures were awesome and the film was eerie. Certainly beat the lacklustre 'Hancock' that dredd_bob, larva and myself saw this morning.

Dave and me (geeks as we are) spoke about what roleplaying game it'd be - he reckoned Cthulhu "The Stars Are Right". I reckoned Torg, with the film being the initial cosm-invasion.

I won't say much more about it right now (especially as it's now almost 3am and I have to be up in 6 hours to get ready to go and see Kung Fu Panda with the guys - yes, this weekend is fairly cinema-heavy) but the other thing that impressed all of us was the incredibly bleak ending. It's great to see the rare bleak endings that American films seem so adverse to providing us.

Brilliant movie.

You,

I saw pictures of you and your girlfriend on Facebook. And you know...it doesn't bother me anymore. Do I still have some feelings for you? Maybe a few. But something changed since the last time I saw you, and I think I finally put my finger on it: I think I realized that you're not what I want. I want romance. Real romance. I want someone to tell me I'm beautiful and not just smart, someone humble and kind, someone who doesn't think my weird quirks are weird. I want someone who not only makes me laugh, but who shares my sense of humor and gets my jokes too. I want someone who wouldn't mind if I wanted to sit at home and read a book all day. I want someone who will draw our names in a heart in the sand while we watch the sunset. I want someone my parents like. Someone whose shoulder I can cry on during the sappiest movies ever. I want someone who understands me even when I'm being a psycho, and knows that I'm not perfect but puts me on a pedestal anyway. I want someone who is my other half but recognizes that I'm a whole by myself, too. I want someone I can give my whole heart to and trust that I won't get it broken. And I want someone who isn't afraid to tell me or anyone that he's just as head-over-heels in love with me as I am with him.

I still admire you, don't get me wrong. You're just too much of a teenage boy. And that's ok, because even though I've been telling myself and others that I'm not interested in dating right now...this is the first time I actually feel like it's true. The majority of boys my age--like you, for instance--don't want what I want. But again, it's ok. I can wait. I'm not always so patient, but I think I'm ready to accept that now's not the right time for me.

I'd never tell you any of this because you'd be weirded out most likely, but then again that's what helped me figure things out in the first place. So thanks for being you, I guess!

Love,
Me

5:01PM - MOD POST - Icons

As per request, I've been searching around for icons suitable for this community. Unfortunately, my searching has only led to Harry Potter, My Chemical Romance, etc. icons.

So if anyone here has some photoshop skilzzzz and wants to make a piercing-related icon, I would be incredibly grateful! And you will, of course, be credited in the community's profile as well as in the icon management area thingy ma bobber.

As per the other request for memories, I'm working on it! I am on Warped Tour this year so computer access is limited for the next couple of weeks. It will happen, though, I promise!

:) Thanks for your patience, guys!

I don't know what to do, tell me how to make things better?
I love you.

I finally got to see the catacombs at Kensal Green! I also got to prance around like a dandy and air out one of the frilly poet shirts that has been lurking at the back of the wardrobe for ages. I don't do the 'trad' thing very much anymore - I find it too impractical and my tastes have changed over the years but it can look bloody good when it's done right.
The catacomb tour was short but well worth it although it is a shame they don't allow photos. I'd quite like to get back into making and selling cemetery cards again and could do with some more pictures.

I am feeling restless tonight but there is no way I can go out. I'm all spent up after buying Batcave tickets and I'm still waiting for petty cash refunds for items I've bought for work. I'm going to have a deeply intellectual night watching the entire Ross Kemp on Gangs series instead :)

Dear Past Me,
Why did you waste your time? Go find the good one! You could have had so much more time!

Dear Present Me,
You're lucky to have him. You matter to him. Hold on just a bit longer, you can get through this. Distract yourself for a little longer.

Dear L,
How about you email me more and tell me that you love me again? You know I don't want to go on facebook or my email, or even open my computer because if I see your name on anything, I want to cry? What you wrote on my hand is just now washing off, I kept it on until my skin turned red from rewriting it so much. I miss you more than I'm letting myself feel. I have so much I want to tell you. I love when you say you miss me. I love when you let me know how you feel.
I love you. I need you more than ever. Say you need me, too?

Dear Mom and Step Father,
frick you!
how dare you? seriously, how dare you?
when your daughters don't want to see you or talk to you, you know you have a problem. You say we blame you for everything, we don't. YOU blame US for everything. R and I actually are having panic attacks after you yell at us, and she moved out three years ago. We got a rash from stress because of you. We have no outlet.
You make us feel worthless and horrible, and you make yourself out to be the martyr.
You don't get to do that.
and you definately do not get to tell us how much our real father hates us. We already know that, believe me. You do NOT have the right to get into my face any time you're pissed off and take it out on me. And there is no way in hell M and I will be close. He is a snake and is worse than my real father. You have a real knack for picking the wrong guy and blaming us. He's a bully and tried to hurt us, and you know that full well. I can't belive you actually said that you and him gave us life. He's my third freaking father, what the hell are you thinking?
I can't believe you actually said that nobody wanted us. And then you got mad at me, what the hell am I supposed to say to that? I said "okay" and you acted like I just slapped you. You can't even begin to imagine how worthless and horrible you make me feel. You're lucky I don't like blood.
My chest actually tightens when you talk to me. I already have enough to deal with, and you just make it worse.
It's hard enough growing up with you, but growing up HERE? How can you not see how much this affects me? When your child is begging you to let her see a psychiatrist and you say no because "if you can't tell me what's going on, you won't tell a psychiatrist" you know you have a problem. How does that even make sense? What if YOU are the problem that I want to talk about. You don't make sense. How can you expect me to talk to you when all you do is put me down? How can you expect me to be bubbly and okay with everything two minutes after you've pretty much called me a pathetic bastard child who will amount to nothing? And you seriously wonder why my grades slip? What the hell is wrong with you?
Step father, fuck off. You have no right to be here.
Both of you, MONEY IS NOT EVERYTHING. JUST BECAUSE A MAN PAYS FOR THINGS DOES NOT MEAN YOU SHOULD ALLOW HIM TO VIOLATE YOUR DAUGHTERS AND DOES NOT GIVE EITHER OF YOU THE RIGHT TO MAKE US FEEL LIKE MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENS, AND IT DOES NOT MAKE HIM OUR FATHER.
I can't believe how the tables have turned.
It's starting to look like Marty was right, my mother is crazy.
