COMFORT IN MATERIAL THINGS..

we haven't had any nice post for a few days, so it was a nice surprise to find a letter with presents from quinn aka girlie guts from le tumblr. we did a trade, i sent her one of my zines & she sent me two word bracelets: feminist & queer, and a few extra little bits. though when i put on the queer bracelet, the elastic snapped and the beads went all over the place. i'll fix it laters, luckily i've got some elastic for my own bead thingies.



then carl came home and asked me how much i loved him, cos he had a present for me. well, actually, a few! twin peaks series one special edition box set! and episodes 2-7 + 11 of brideshead revisited as free dvds with daily mail a while ago. i've already got episode 1 disc somewhere. oh i love the oxfam.

OH, MATRON.

i had a bit of a meh start of a saturday. as usual. though at least i managed to not sleep until noon today, as i have done in the past couple of weeks, despite going to bed before midnight both fridays.. it seems i should really not sit in my jammies, ever, it just gets me into bouts of apathy, just trouble. i managed to beg carl to come into town with me after unsuccessfully trying to sort out distro orders (i'm sorry anyone who has ordered anything in the past.. two weeks. i'm currently made of fail) so i got my arse in gear and had a wash and got dressed and suddenly felt much less useless. i even got out my sailor dress i haven't worn since last summer and put on some perfume. we went into town to get food and even absent mindedly wandered into a few shops, mainly cex (second hand dvd game etc shop) and tk maxx. didn't actually dare to go to any other shops as i bought a bunch of stuff in both shops. still only spent about a tenner though. £10.73 to be exact. oh and then there was dinner, quite a bit of it too, for a few days (though i'll have to get top ups, like vegetables etc at some point.) even got fancy puddings for 40p (usually at least £1.99, if not £4) cheese, taste the difference burgers & more mince. nomface. carl cooked burgers after doctor who (WHICH WAS FUCKING GENIUS OMG I CANNOT WAIT TIL NEXT SATURDAY WHERE THE FUCK IS MY TIME MACHINE?!) and they were food orgasm. seriously. so good. burgers are pretty much the main reason i'm not vegetarian. also the fact i'm not really into denying myself things if i like them. life's too short. especially with all the read meat i eat, ha.

i'm rather looking forward to using my new carry on plates with barbara windsor in her swimwear. i loves her, and they're saucy. oo-eer. maybe i'll make some cheeky lunch tomorrow while carl's at oxfam. he's playing grand theft auto. i tried to get him to watch dark knight with me later but he wants to watch borat. i'm just gonna sit next to him and zine on the sofa. i'd be too restless otherwise.
