Sure I’ve done lots of things in my life that I regret. It comes from having tried too hard in my younger days to be a wild child and a rebel, to break as many molds (and rules) as possible while scandalizing the life out of my parents and friends. Sure I’ve done [...]

Are we at war tonight
Will there be angels whispering to midnight
Don’t wake when lightning strikes
My heart for you is true
Let no one take that from you
Time is running tight
Can’t change from wrong to right So I’ll close my eyes and dream a little
Just like how we used to be baby
Its time to say farewell now
No [...]

So my last ever inter-hall Scrabble has ended and I still haven’t managed to go unbeaten.  I don’t think anyone realizes how much this really irks me.  That five-point loss is going to haunt me forever.
I wish I had something to show for my four years of inter-hall Scrabble, but all I do have is [...]

Watched ‘Curse of the Golden Flower’ last night - escapism from a hellish IHRG in which I have found myself unable to finish school with a single unbeaten run in IHRG Scrabble.
Oh, the pain, the pain of a closed board and a 5 point loss.  Everything was going wrong!  I’d lost my lucky pen! He [...]

Christmas pressies Christmas pressies!
Such nice pressies this year!  On the top of the list in no particular order:

My brandspankingnew Scrabble board bag and tile bag wooo!  No more clumsy lugging of board around!
My bronze rotating earrings stand! Mommy always knows best and she rawks!
Borders gift card - an oldie but a definite goodie!
Spending Christmas with [...]

Happy birthday to my sweet sixteen baby sister.  You grow up way too fast.  I know this for a fact because you borrow my clothes and I’m only taller than you in heels.
Merry Christmas to all my Gentle Readers.  Another year has passed us by like a caaahaandle in the wiiiiind!
Hope you’ve all been very [...]

I recite the order back at the customer, who is gaily decked out in a red, yellow and green Jamaican beret with fake dreadlocks cascading down his back - with a matching shirt.
“One bottle of Havana Club, four diet Cokes, two Asahi bottles, one pint of Heineken and a pint of Strongbow cider.”
He grins at [...]

I’m tired and PMSing like crazy - it never fails to surprise me (and not in a good way) how fast four weeks pass and that time of the month rolls by again. It’s positively nauseating. What I hate most is that it sneaks up on me like a soft-soled thief; I never [...]

Just a note to say: I wish you were here.

Sometimes the littlest things can really set me off.
Now I’m awake and cold and grumpy and wishing I were back in my own bed.
Sigh.
