Tails from the Bark Side

"So glad I put dinner in the slow cooker today. Aaaaaaaaaaargh my life. I seem to say 'I'm having a bit of a nightmare day today' every single day. 'Having a crazy week' every week. Then I say to myself, 'Oh it'll be easier when I've moved to Southampton/got my car back/got less evening dogsitting/less dogs/less extra cleaning...' aaaaaaaand it never gets easier and i dunno what to dooooooooooOOOO"

"Even Didz doesn't wanna get up today. He is still upside down"

"Right that is it, all the Christmas cards I'm going to have time to do have been posted/sent out... so if you don't get one before Christmas Day, it's not because I don't love ya. This is your message:
"Dear you, Merry Christmas! Lots of love from gemgems and didz *kiss* *pawprint*""

Highs:
I turned 30.
The best family events in years! Two weddings (one of which doubled up as my birthday party) and a christening.
I WENT TO LOS ANGELES AND VEGAS, baby, and I saw SOUNDGARDEN, FFS, and my bad-ass friend RHYMES WITH BOOZE.
And Spain.
Ballet continued to be brilliant.
My band Dreams Divide has achieved more in the past nine months than any other music project I've been involved in would've achieved in nine years. We did an album and gigs in London supporting some proper big bands.
Kyuss Lives! and other brilliant gigs and shows and theatre trips.
My first BBC prom!
Dubbin' in Dorset festival, Reading and Sonisphere!
Hanging out with Musers.
I went on stage with Devin Townsend! And then met him again a few months later!
Discovering the world's best cheese scones in Lyndhurst.
Business did well.
Depression/anxiety buggered off.
I made so many new friends.
I moved into my perfect little house.
I had a brilliant housewarming and Christmas and New Year.
Everything is amazing and I'm so content.
Best year of my life!

Lows:
I turned 30.
Anna's dad passed away suddenly, which was awful.
Had a tooth out. Horrible, horrible.
Got dry socket. Horrible, horrible, horrible.
I think I got spiked. I collapsed after 3 pints and had to be taken home by the police anyway.
I did my ankle in at the British Library and it hurt for MONTHS.
A little bit of brainfail at the beginning of the year which meant some weird tablets, but nothing too bad.
Leaving Anna and Jon and Floyd!
Business doing well means I have a HUGE TAX BILL ARGH.
Not meeting a certain fabulous ginger actor even though we trolled the stage door for aaages. Damnit.
Hundwagen v4: The Golden Nugget got written off in a prang (that's such a weird word).
I had to cancel a Berlin trip because of a lack of £s, but that wasn't too bad either because I have an awesome house.
