I’m bored.

Yep, you read it right, I am indeed BORED. I wanted to watch the next episode of season seven of The X-Files (“Via Negativa”) but for some reason, my laptop wouldn’t play it. Kept making a really weird noises. It played it before because I watched it on here before and the other episodes on the disc worked?

Anyways.

Work again tomorrow, I wonder what fun things I’ll be given to do to pass my five hours. Hmm…

A little while ago, Chris bought loads of games and most of the characters in all of the games have been in Project Zero 3, Grim and Evil, Dexter’s Lab, Ben 10, Xensaga, Dark Cloud 2… lol it’s really weird. The guy who played Kei in PZ3 is in an episode of Bones called “The Superhero in the Alley”. Chris wants to watch that one episode to see him. lol.

My nose is really tingling, hope I’m not getting a cold. I had porridge earlier and it’s burnt my tongue

I feel like posting a picture.

Sigh.

Yes, so… Um… I was meant to update wasn’t I?

As to last night, I was tired and couldn’t be bothered to write and fell asleep at 11:30pm… Hmm.

So last Monday(!), I started my new job. I love the building and the area it’s in; it’s the heart of derelict Croydon which if you know me, you’d know that I love that stuff. I can see the near derelict St. George’s Walk from my office window! Gah, I love it. I was told that the whole St. George’s Walk area was due to be demolished and developed but the buyer pulled out. The government is now trying to get people back in the buildings. The kitchen overlooks Pop World and Victorian Croydon (and you know how I feel about all things Victorian!). It’s weird being in a big (half derelict) building rather than in two little units in the middle of an industrial estate in the middle of nowhere. There’s a near empty vending machine and we’re next to an accountants and a computer company. The first, second and third floors are empty! I think the third floor has people on it sometimes cos I’m sure there was a light on at some point during the week. I use the stairs as I hate lifts but we’re not on the 10th floor or anything (there isn’t a 10th floor) so I don’t mind the stairs. They remind me of the marbled stairs you get in school, actually.

So when I started on Monday, there was Jackie the boss and someone else who works on Mondays and Thursdays. I was only there for an hour so that doesn’t count

So Tuesday… um… what did I do? Not a lot. Worked out my times as 10am to 2:30pm, Monday to Friday. We looked at the website and decided what we would do to change it. Um… then I went home. Oh wait, I think that’s when we had an induction thing.

Wednesday, someone called Carlon started. I like him but he’s a bit weird and talks to himself, praising himself and telling himself that’s he’s a genius… Not used to having a male in the office. lol. I typed up the thing for the website and started something else (what was it?). Oh yeah, the Croydon Women’s Scheme Information Sheet. Then I went home.

Thursday, I finished the WS thing (I think). Why can’t I remember anything about Thursday?

Friday, I went through the Benefits manual and Googled, Wiki’d and wrote down things that needed updating as the booklet came out in 2004. To be honest, I just think that she wants to give me stuff to do! Most of the manual was still up to date as well.

There was other stuff I was gonna write about but I can’t remember it now. Everytime I answer the rarely ringing phone, I’m always nearly saying Zafron. Lol. Habit, I guess

What else has happened this week? Chris started playing my X-Files game and LOL at Polygon Mulder, Polygon Scully, Polygon Skinner, Polygon Lone Gunmen, Polygon Krychek, Polygon Marita and Polygon CGB Spender! They have their mannerisms and it’s high-larious.

OOH! I didn’t write about Manda’s birthday, did I? It was so good seeing her after ages (August)! She looked gorgeous! Took us 45 minutes to get there as we got lost in Croydon (don’t ask). We were there until about 10:30pm but still, seeing Manda was the reason I was there. Now I’m working in Croydon, I’ll see her more I hope!

I keep getting a pain in my ear

What else was I gonna talk about? I dunno. Oh, we got a tiny bit of snow last night! I thought it was all over but obviously not. I mean, it’s still snow season and the stuff that we’d get now will be our usual westerly snow, not the hard stuff we got from the east at the end of December/early January so it wouldn’t stick around for as long. The sky is clear blue at the moment. It was -1 earlier but my weather gadget is saying it’s 2 degrees now. It was practically a heatwave with temperatures of 7 degrees the other week!

Anyways. Might add more later (I always say that, don’t I?)

The Truth and The Light

Aww, somebody searched for “tippystardust wordpress”. Hi whoever you are! Somebody looking specifically for me ^_^ I feel like I’m famous. I have fans.

Anyways, onto other things.

Wasn’t nice going home and realising that Princess isn’t there. At least when I’m at Chris’ I can pretend she’s still there. Sylvester looks so sad I can’t believe how quickly it happened. To be honest, I’m not thinking about it because when I do, I get sad.

Ffs, I hate Westlife. I honestly can’t stand them. I’ve never liked them, they get on my nerves. Just wish they’d disappear! They just sing cover versions now. *Shudder*.

So winter is setting in! 1st of December 2009 was a frosty one! She arrived on cue! I want it to snow, I love snow. Chris was ill when it snowed in February (pics here. There’s more in the link on the left of the actual day) so he couldn’t come with me when I went into the frozen wastes and on my exhibition! That was one of the reasons I took so many pictures (about 400 in all!). Carshalton was beautiful in the snow. The Grove looked like Narnia! So amazing. My SLR was in its element

My feet are freezing! Decided to wear my purple Doctor Martens so I can start wearing them in because I have to do it every year, mainly because my weight goes up and down so much! I had a pair when I was in infant school and I loved them so much. I used to wear them with my frilly socks! My mother is such an Aquarian. I decided that I was gonna buy an adult pair so I did! I took a pic of both pairs of my purple Dr Martens with my Polaroid camera!

Been watching my X-Files dvDVD’s! Gonna watch the last episode in a minute. I’ve got this and I saw it in HMV a few years ago (it came out in 2005) and it was always too expensive; they were selling it for £200! Well, Chris and I went to Sutton one day and I saw it there again and they were selling it for £70 and there was no way I was gonna miss out on that! It was weird seeing episodes I hadn’t seen since I was little (already mentioned before that I used to watch it before I could read properly – Martin used to read out “Paranormal Activity” and the info in the corner). We definitely used to watch it when it was originally aired going by the dates in the booklets. When I’ve watched all the DVD’s, I’ll do mini reviews on my favourite episodes from each season!

Anyway, ima go now. Paul O’Grady has made me feel dizzy!

Letter to my sixteen year old self

Dear Charlotte,

I know this is really weird but you are an X-Files fangirl so it won’t be much of a scare for you. I’m writing to you from 2009! Isn’t that cool? I have some things to tell you, to warn you if you like. You’re pretty perceptive so you’ll already be mentally and emotionally prepared anyway.

So here goes…

Mr Sambrook DOES NOT look like Ben Affleck but the memory will be a happy one forever.

They are your best friends and you think that things will never change even if you’ve already been through so much together already. You will drift apart from them when relationships come but don’t worry too much, that’s life and everybody’s gotta learn sometime. You will keep them in your heart forever.

Savour this year – next year she will leave you behind and things will be really tough between you but you will always love her, no matter how many times you cry and say that you give up on her. It will hurt like hell and you will feel like your heart is breaking but be strong, you will get through it.

She is not your friend so don’t trust her. She has been letting you down for all these years and she will never change. You will have some happy memories but she blames you for everything. She is very insecure (but you always knew that anyway). Don’t believe everything she says and don’t worry when she tells you that you will never be a good girlfriend to anyone (you soon show her ).

There will be songs you’ll hear 5 years later and they will make you remember these feelings you’re having right now and they will make you smile, they might even make you cry.

He will never love you the way you love him – you don’t love him as much as you think you do and your first love is yet to come when you least expect it to. You will know the moment you meet him. He may buy you that necklace but don’t take it as a token of any kind. He just has too much money and it probably didn’t take much thought.

When you dye half of your hair red, the habit will stick and you’ll try every colour

A new era is about to start; it’s short lived but enjoy every minute of it as it doesn’t last. You will gain a best friend for life from it though and you will stay in relative contact with some of them even if you don’t think you ever will again.

Tell that tall boy with the big boots that “Super Smash Brothers” promotes violence – you will remember that first exchange of words forever. When he tells you that he loves you, you won’t know what to say at first but the words come. He means it and so do you.

You will hurt her but don’t worry, she will forgive you. Realise that it will be this way for three years but you will be friends again (don’t be stubborn) and you will be one of the first people she contacts when she has her baby.

You will still be friends with her 5 years later even though you first met randomly online by pure chance and you will talk as much as you always did, all these years later.

Make sure you get Chris to buy Project Zero – it will kick off a mini era and broaden your knowledge of all things Japanese.

Treasure Ruby and Dolly above all else. You will miss them when they’re gone.

So, I think that’s it. I’m sorry if any of it scares you but put it this way, I’m alive now right? Well, you are. I may sound like Mystic Meg here but a word of warning now; 2005 will be a really bad year but you will get through it. 2006 is a reward for you! You go travelling and you meet someone you will instantly gel with and will become very good friends with. 2007 is a bit meh, 2008 is alright and so is 2009. That’s all I have to say for now.

Oh, sometime in the near future, you will randomly meet three Danish boys and a baker on a game called Maple Story. Don’t worry, they really are as weird as they sound but they will be great friends of yours! One of them will be one of your best friends in fact. You will meet another friend who comes from Lancashire and he will be a good friend, even if you have your ups and downs!

Be safe and make sure you eat something in 2005!

Love from you xxxx

The Doctor/ImaCeleb/XFactor

I’m too sad to write about it. I’m not going to be able watch it at Christmas. The Tennant was the only reason I watched it! *Cries*

It was bloody good though! Better than the one with Zoe Slater! It had X-Files-y tones to it. I prefer the episodes like that and being an X-Files fangirl, it was just up my street! And LOL at Trina from Eastenders being in it (or Crys-taaaal from Bad Girls if you prefer). The Doctor said about water waiting and being patient. How it always wins and that is a a very true quote. I thought the ending was good too but it made me sad =( as my friend @stev02008 from Twitter said, the Doctor is pretty scary when he lets the power go to his head! I just remembered that I have a few of my Doctor Who books to read so I can carry on with *my* Doctor still even when Emo Boy does take over. I’m going to miss him =( Chris showed me earlier that he’s going to be in a movie with Simon Pegg.

So I’m a Celeb is on now and as Simon Pegg said, when are they gonna do a series with famous people? The only person I really like is Kim Woodburn from How Clean is Your House! Colin and Justin (LivingTV babies), some Italian tv chef, Lucy Benjamin and some others. Bloody hell, the only reason I watch this is for Ant & Dec. I love their presenting style, they never fail to make me laugh! Oh, and Sabrina from Misteeq? They haven’t released a song since 2002/2003!!!! Oh well, it’s a bit of escapism. It’s ok so far.

So back to X-Factor! LLOYD IS STILL THERE?!?!?!?! I mean ffs, at least Jamie can at least SING. Glad Stacey is through because I like her and I know that she has a lot more to offer and same goes to Joe. Glad they stayed and don’t care about anyone else! The charity single is ok (You are Not Alone) but I think most charity singles are a bit cheesy tbh.

Oooh, Baileys Coffee ad. I must try my free sample. I love Baileys! I haven’t seen the Coca Cola Christmas advert yet so I don’t think it’s anywhere near the 25th of December!

Anyway, bored now.
