LISTY LISTY

Well, I am busy. To the point of having 'DO NOTHING' actually written in my diary on a couple of Saturdays. Normally being busy means lots of writing in this here journal, but I'm not really that into it at the moment. I feel quite boring; all I can think to write is lists. I need some memes or something to get back into the habit of writing properly, or summink.

This is what I've been doing, anyway:

  • NOTHING.
  • Cleaning. So much cleaning, in fact, that my fingers have started to stick down and I have had to go and buy a shiatsu cushion. Which is amazing, but still...
  • Skiving ballet, and going to ballet, depending on how much cleaning was or wasn't required that week...
  • Walking naughty, naughty dogs. *glares at Alfie*
  • Went out for a lovely meal on Fathers' Day with both my 'dads', and Dhana and Stevie's dad, which was absolutely lovely. Love how my lovely family are able to always be lovely to each other.

  • MOTing the Hundwagen, replacing the smashed-in rear light, getting a new lambda sensor and mirror and, most importantly, novelty stickers for the rear window. Have since somehow smashed in the rear light again.
  • Some cooking! I made scones and pizza from scratch, and it was all much appreciated.

  • Dubbin' in Dorset, with both of my nieces and their mum and dad, plus my dad, and some mates. We sat around in tents and barbequed and drank beer and looked at Volkswagens of all shapes and sizes.

  • Headlined two venues with Dreams Divide in one weekend! *cough*BUYTHEALBUM*cough*

  • Discovered the best sweet shop ever in Salisbury, and now I really want to move there. To the actual sweet shop.
  • Saw Combichrist at the Talking Heads, which was splendid.
  • Went shopping in town with Tam and Steve, larked about a lot; ended up in the pub drinking too much while talking about diets.
  • Hanging out with Steve a lot, watching lots of TV and stuff, and Sarah came over for a spot of Torchwood one night too.

Coming up:

  • Sonisphere this weekend! I must pack.
  • A couple of cinema trips (Third Star and Harry) and a Dungeon trip on the 16th - Jeannie's got a babysitter!
  • America! Fuck yeah!
  • SOUNDGARDEN. IN AMERICA. WITH [livejournal.com profile] rhymeswithbooze. OH SHHH-
  • The continuation of the Dreams Divide July Tour (Southampton & Reading - not headlining this time though).
  • Stevie's first birthday!
  • Devin Townsend at the Heads. ACOUSTIC. OMG. I still need to get tickets though.
  • Nan & Grandad's 50th wedding anniversary. Awww.
  • Prom 44 at the Albert Hall.
  • Reading? Depends on money, of course. And ticket availability. I am avoiding looking at Musebay because I know I'll be tempted to use the dreaded credit card (dreadit card?)...
  • MY TWO BIRTHDAY PARTIES. I am excite. One is going to be at the Bridge, and the other is an invited gatecrash of Chris & Pete's wedding. Hahaha.
  • A swap party at Sarah's for charideeee.
  • BIRTHDAY LOLIDAY IN SPAIN OMG I BOOKED THE FLIGHTS YESTERDAY AND I'M SO EXCITE.
  • More Dreams Divide gigs. One at CyberSonik festival in Camden. :D
  • And One in Berlin. Lol.

So, enough to be getting on with I think, and more than enough to have to work hard to raise money for *rubs lower back*. I am determined to have 30 birthday parties before next year's planned extreme frugality. Hell yeaaah.

I can't believe I didn't think to book anywhere to stay for the Wembley gigs on the 10th & 11th September. Oops. Looks like I'm gonna have to shell out for an 'otel room. Actually that would be kinda nice. Birthday present to self, tbh. I have been so epically busy these last couple of months. So much to be planned and paid for and organised and bought and visited and walked and cleaned and tidied and sorted and fixed and paid for and earned and baked and bought and carried and scrubbed and hoovered and sung and recorded and eaten and baked and read and studied and written and tidied and fed and de-flead and bathed and washed and entertained and picked up and... you get the picture.

Looking forward to (and saving money for):
Mum & Paul's anniversary - buy card & nice present.
Beer festival at the Winny Gate. Buy beer.
My birthday. Colourful hair is on the cards, as well as an ace night out with Jeannie. Hers is the day before mine. She's 30 this year so it's going to be a banger. Ohyes. Buy Jeannie a nice present.
Dad & Kate's birthdays, buy 2 cards & 2 nice presents.
Wembley weekend as mentioned above. Buy train tickets, hotel room, food & drink.
Album release. It's in the mixing stage! Buy studio time and expertise. Lmao.
[livejournal.com profile] sessal's birthday. Buy munchies out, nice present.
Camping, somewhere at some point? I have vouchers and possible camp...  mates lined up. Buy... whatever I'm going to need I guess. I'm not sure about this one.
Discover Dogs. Buy tickets, dog show entries, petrol.
Another weekend in Germany. That's three this year. Buy flights, hostel, and beer.
Leepee's birthday, Dhana's birthday, Ellie's birthday... Christmas, I suppose! Buy goddamn nice presents for every bugger.

Looks like the camper van will have to wait! I'm off to bed, where I am going to get right into Sherlock, as about twelvety people have told me that I will love it. Right up my street, indeed. And tomorrow I am going to write my next chapter of the Whofic, and buy nice presents, and look for a room in London, and maybe write my last assignment, and-
