Have I already asked?

Are there any Jessica Alba lookalikes out there who fancy a fuck? Don't worry... I won't take up much of your time ;)

Recharge.

I've taken a few days off work. Hopefully, that should be enough to recharge the batteries, plus there's a possibility of a session with the boys from work on Friday. I handed in the latest phase of a project at work today and there's one to go, due shortly after the turn of the year. That, coupled with Christmas means it's going to be quite stressful over the next few months (I HATE Christmas). But that gives me a few days to get a few things sorted and a lie in in the morning. Bliss!

Still... yesterday I took the first step in licking my finances into shape by organising an 0% credit card. Capital One are doing one that's 0% until January 2007, which should knock a huge hole in my current level of debt.

I still have to sort ANOTHER card for my other credit card, but one thing at a time. Once the Capital One card has been sorted, I'll transfer the balance of my other to a 0% card and cancel the accounts with my current cards. I won't actually save money each month, but the money I pay out (the same amounts as I'm currently paying) will be knocked off my credit card debts each month. Hurrah!

Dreams.

I've been having some really weird dreams recently. I don't often remember my dreams, but the past few nights have seen me waking up, fresh from a dream, in the early hours.

On Thursday night, I had a particularly vivid dream about myself and QC2. I used to have a huge crush on QC2 from ages ago. Even now, I think that, physically, she still represents a lot of the things I look for in a woman. Brown, shoulder length hair, dark eyes and an ideal body shape - thin(ish), but with curves. Anyway, in this dream that I'd had, we were married. That was the bit that was most vivid - there were other, silly dream things going on (our town was being attacked by cartoon zombies or something), but it was the relationship between myself and QC2 that really stuck out. It wasn't disturbing or anything, I just thought it was weird. (No complaints about being married to a stunning brunette, though!)

I had another dream last night that was fresh in my memory this morning for being particularly weird and vivid, but I can't remember too much about it except that I think I was in a band of some kind.

I'm really tired though, so I doubt I'll remember too much tomorrow. Hopefully I'll get a really good night's sleep tonight.

Meh

My friend, E, who's been talking about spending a few years in NZ actually said out loud last night what I'd predicted. She doesn't expect to be coming home on a permanent basis. 

I kinda expected that to happen, though not really for it to be planned, just that it would happen. I had sorta predicted that she'd end up meeting someone out there and settling down, but last night confirmed it.

I told her that, from a selfish point of view, I didn't want her to go because I'd miss her too much. She said that was sweet. It was true, though. I will miss her. We had a great night out last night, though. We always do. 

Lots of talking and lots of drinking for me (E's on a diet). Oh, and if you haven't seen Serenity, go see it. It's fabulous and well worth watching, even if you haven't seen Firefly.

What's this?

Was at a class tonight doing something for work. Got talking to a girl I briefly met last week. I'll call her PD. She was great fun. I wonder if it'll develop into anything - perhaps heading out for a drink or something. I might suggest it closer to the close of the class in a few months time.

Just a little longer...

E's postponed until next weekend rather than this one, but that's no biggie. Nights out with E are always great. Hope she's in good form.

In between

Last weekend, I was visiting a friend. A great time was had by all, and I really must do it again (despite the expense, which was a lot). Next weekemd, I'm hoping to meet up with E. I'm envisaging a trip to the cinema to see Serendipity followed by a few hours and many drinks in the pub. Details to be confirmed tomorrow night.

My social life is probably going to pick up over the next few months at least, which I'm looking forward to.

Still here (barely)

Well, unsurprisingly, I've had no response from V. I'm a bit annoyed at that as she was very insistent that we maintained contact. Ah well. It's her loss.

This week's been quite busy. On Thursday I met with MA2 and AM for a meal and to catch up, which was excellent. I haven't seen them in months. We had a good chat over a couple of hours and hopefully, we'll see each other again sooner rather than later.

My sister moved house this weekend from literally 30 seconds around the corner to a few miles up the road. The work I did helping them shift was probably the hardest two days of physical labour I've ever done in my like (all of my jobs have been mostly admin or I.T. related, so physical labour isn't something I've done a lot of). I'm still feeling the after effects of three days of shifting lots of boxes and stuff around.

The girl who bought my sister's house was lovely and she had a cracking set of friends. I tried to have a conversation with them while we we moving, but it's hard to start a conversation when you're shifting heavy furniture around and only passing reach other in the hallway. It's a shame though, they seemed nice and it would have been nice to see if anything had developed - I had the strangest feeling that something could have with one of them. It's frustrating when that happens.
