Isn't there a website you can go to, to get a letter. I'm pretty sure I've heard of other people who love getting letters.

I know I get all excited when I get a letter in the mail, except bills. I try to give them back to the postie but he doesn't take them.


Well I'm almost finished painting 12ft ceilings - glad to not have to jump while up on a ladder to reach the top - and I painted them with a paintbrush because rolling didn't work.

And now i can stop ogling tall people at the supermarket and wondering how to ask them to "come over, and paint my ceilings for me."

Now I just need to get a full time paid job, to go with my full-time housekeeper job, and 24/7 mum job, and my part-time carer job, and I'll be able to afford to go to the UK to see my sick sister (the only one of my siblings who is cool).

I completely forgot it was Valentines Day and only remembered because we went out to see the new Die Hard. Guess it's a good thing Jake and I decided not to do any gifts.

Purple is always cool. Just be careful washing the dye out or you'll end up like I did... grape like. Man, I miss having purple hair.

Next month, I'm going for... A SPA DAY

It's my friends 30th birthday, and her husband has secretly organised a spa day for her. Myself and another friend are going with her ( while the treatments are nice it's nicer to have someone to enjoy them with ) but the whole thing is secret ( she has no interest in goth and so won't see this ) .

And her mom randomly and VERY kindly paid most of the package price for the other friend and myself!! I love Jean!

Trouble is the main part of the package is a full body massage. I know it says full body but I really wonder if this actually includes the stomach area? Because I SERIOUSLY won't be able to cope with anyone mushing my flab about on my stomach . I'm going to have to warn the woman when I go, or I'll end up curled in a twitchy ball going "aaaaaagghgerrofmyflab!! "

Aside from that I'm going to book one extra treatment ( I think we all are ) . There isn't a massive range to choose from but I'm optng for the Decleor Armoaplastie. O,o I want to see what she reckons she can do with my acne ( not a fat lot for the extortionate price probably )

Still, should be an ok day I think! And a meal in a local Italian afterwards! yumyum

You can always just tell them right before you start that you are uncomfortable about it and if it is usually included (sometimes it is some times it isn't) they will just spend extra time on other parts.

I heart massages!

Most of the full-body massages I've had have been head, scalp, shoulders, neck, back, legs, feet, arms and hands. They've not included buttocks, stomach or breasts at all.

I did go to one guy years ago who used to do a soft massage over the stomach (which is meant to help with digestive issues) and would also work on my buttocks (I hold tension there.. I know how weird that sounds, but when I get stressed I tighten my arse and lower back a lot) and my breasts (this was when I was nursing and a lot of the work I did involved moving people around, and my chest muscles would get tight and sore.. they are inconveniently located under my bewbies...).

He only did this after explaining it all and talking about it with me. There was no sexual aspect at all, and I didn't feel that he was inappropriate or unprofessional at any stage of the work.

Solumina is right.. talk about it with them beforehand, mention that this is a new thing for you and ask questions.. and know that you can ask them to stop at any stage during the treatment as well.

And I hope you have fun.

I was utterly resigned to putting weight on because of my new medication. However, I have actually LOST weight in the two weeks since I started the new tablets which I wasn't expecting.

Finally got myself a part time job, working Fridays to Tuesdays for four hours a day, which to me, feels longer than it sounds (in fact, I really should be in bed for that reason). I've also been wanting to draw something in my new sketchpad for months, but I can't come up with anything that I haven't done, or that'll hold my interest. And finally, I bought Assassin's Creed 3 for the WiiU a couple weeks ago, which is really starting to piss me off, so I'm taking a break from it.

I thought I'd only be promoting music, but I might be going beyond that soon.

My hair is now shorter than it has ever been, at least since I was a baby. I'll post a pic as soon as I decide whether or not I like it.

Awesome! I'll still be keeping an eye out for any new goth bands you post though, because right now the same old stuff gets played.

Thanks. Definitely check out Angels of Liberty. Here's their song Talk About Nothing.

I'd like to eventually post another Dark Indie youtube playlist when I get enough bands I like to fill it up. But I'm not sure how much time that will take.

I got a healthy little case of gastritis. I have been suffering since monday before finally being diagnosed today, so now I know not to eat anything that doesn't neutralize stomach acids. Smoothies and youghurt for the next couple of days it is! I got some medicine, too, so I should be ok.

I have never experienced pain so intense before, I can't even explain it with words. The only pain that compares was when my jaw was infected, and I honestly don't know which I'd take over the other right now....

Popcorn cures all ills! All hail the popcorn gods and cleavage, because popcorn gets caught there before it falls onto the floor, saving you from having to mourn the loss of it when you're in the movies.

Hells yeah, on a popcorny day, if I fail to retrieve the popcornish deluge from my bra, it comes out on my bedroom floor before my nightly shower. Sad times for all.

May you always have more popcorn than you want.
