Princess Gilly Does LJ

So I just realised I sometimes lock my posts and sometimes don't. Tends to depend on my mood rather than content. If people were wanting to read and aren't my friends just let me know and I'll most likely  friend you. The awesome banner is from enchantinglight 

 So through my sisters insistent begging I am now doing a book challenge to see if I can read 50 books in a year. Personally I think 50 is a little too easy but oh well here I shall make my list:

( Books I've read since 1/1/09 )


( more of the list.. )

Hit 50 in the 19/04/09
 

( After the 50 )
 

 

Title: Forever
Pairing: Rose/Scorpius
Rating: R
Warning: Characters with somewhat psychopathic tendencies and adult themes. Nothing squicky.
Summery: A different take on Rose and Scorpius’ relationship and life together.
Dedication: To my friends at the Sober Universe for corrupting inspiring me to write a something different.

A/N: I first wrote this for thesmrw_ficafest but after some deliberation, and helpful advice from my awesome friend who happens to be a mod, I decided to write something else however this story is possibly one of the favourite things I’ve ever written and I’m rather in awe of it so up it goes. Millions of thanks to a_respite for a fantastic beta job and helping me out so much.

I am still so excited about the weekend I just had!
( rambling rambleness )

Oh and I want to say - so jealous of people who got to go to LeakyCon. It looked awesome!

I am so exhausted, I've been doing far too many 9 hour shifts some back to back(as in finished 9pm then start again at 8am) and MBL has been in the shittiest mood lately - apparently they got bad feedback from a Mystery Shopper. But I have a whole week and a bit off because I'm going to Melbourne tomorrow.  Very Excited. I am going to see Wicked, go shopping(!) and go to the nerdfighter gathering and meet John Green. Video footage/photos is promised for those who care.
I am also hoping to get my 'I Never' challenge done - something to do on the plane.
Anyway - no internet for the weekend but I'll be back monday! :)

Pay day is my favourite day of the fortnight even if the majority of my money goes straight to mum.
( In which Gilly earns money, stocks up on her drug of choice, is kind of insulted, gains a teeny bit of self control and is left with very little money. (aka my day) ).

 Today has been one of the most eventful days I have ever spent sitting in front of a computer. Only drank 4 cups of tea because it took too much time to go make them. So last night I sent of my ficafest story to get proofread and this morning woke up to a fantastic email back :) yay. Now I have over a thousand words extra and plans for more I hope to get done this afternoon/tonight after House. I think I am going to be insanely proud of this story even though the fact I wrote it scares the crap out of me. I wish I could talk about it more, I probably do too much but it is supposed to be a surprise about who wrote it, so I should shut up.
Also yayness..I got a letter from Alice and a postcard from Honda :) It was awesome but reminded me I fail at life(I've forgotten to post out my postcards from February) and I actually got to talk to Naz and make plans of epic proportions for 2011 America trip. 
Tomorrow is working again. but only for about 3 hours which is lame and yet good because I have more free time. Also tomorrow = payday which is awesome.My life is seeming pretty darn good today, which is probably because I haven't given my dad much thought at all. Have rather large and uncomfortable decisions to make regarding that which I have been avoiding doing.
It's cold. I dislike the cold - all day it's hovered around 10 degrees, but I forgot to put the heater on because I'm still used to not having to during the day.
I went to get the mail in my pjs. The new neighbours think I'm certifiably insane. Don't know why, it's not exactly the most uncommon thing in the world.
La Famile is coming over tonight, well Jas and Aidan are, it will be noisy and unlivable from about 5pm-7pm. Then they all go to youth group - unless it's not on. Oh crap it might not be on the leader's wife did just have a baby. How can I watch House, if they're all here. They are so noisy(step-family is the worst bunch of people to watch stuff with) ahh.
Dobby's gone spastic - I think he thinks I'm actually going to go outside in this kind of temperature and take him for a walk. There is no chance. Poor puppy. Maybe Jacinta will do it. She does those sorts of things.

Today was interesting, worked 9 hours, so boring. But anyway, before work I got heaps of my Rose/Scorpius done and it's scaring the shit out of me. It is the weirest un-me story I've ever written but I quite like it.
Other interesting things that happened to me today:
-A girl got on my bus with a Suzanne's Team baseball cap and I knew what it was thanks to Christopher's avi. Felt special.
-A man came in to the Bakehouse who I swear was like Alan Rickman except old, he had the voice, and the nose and it was so cool. I tried very hard not to giggle.

-I finally ate some sushi I've been craving for weeks and I got a free coffee because I go to Gloria Jeans so often that they love me(that and my frenequent sippers card was full)

It's so freezing and it's not even winter. :( grr
I think me will go to bed. Rather exhausted. Kind of sore and must get up in the moring to...actually wait not I don't :D
 

So I had a slight breakdown over my smrw_ficafest story. I had to scrap the one I was almost finished because I overlooked some of the girls request and couldn't really fix it. So now I have to start again and hence the meltdown, but thanks to the guys at SU I am feeling much better and am kind of getting it done. (thanks you guys, you rock!) 
Today I also did some planning of my trip around America, if anyone has some other suggestions I'd love to hear where you think I should visit. :) Also I learnt something about baseball which makes me feel accomplished because, with the exception of football, I'm not so great with the sports knowledge.
It's been really cold today, but up until now was kind of sunny. Now it's miserably wet, I was going to go to town with Ingrid today but first there was an accident on the bridge so it was closed and now I just feel like writing.
Jacinta was sick today so she stayed home, it was nice, we had a book chat and she made me tea while I flipped out. She's such a sweetie, I don't deserve her.
I'm feeling a bit weird at the moment, this weekend, while fun, was kind of stressful, it's hard being the one all the siblings want to complain about talk each other too and I've had a bit of a headache. Also I've been trying to help Bethany with her english assignments and agreed to read some of her reading list books to help her pick which ones to do her Independent Study on.  I loved doing my IS in year 11, I want her to as well, she gets too stressed about her work(kind of like I did with my story today).
meh I have to work 9 hours tomorrow. I shouldn't complain so much, some people don't have jobs at all. 
Now I have to take a break and clean the bathroom for Mum. I feel like eating sushi but going into town is way too much effort. 

Today was lots of fun. At church I had some hilarious conversations, Jasmine is so funny, she gets so indignant about stuff and was appalled at a guy who is a 4th year Med student and was explaining what he's learning this year - Jasmine doesn't think guys should know anything about 'girl bits' even when they're 21. Also I got to eat ANZAC biscuits and caramel slice. Then Ingrid and I had a bit of an Angel marathon, we got almost through season one. I love Doyle he's so funny.
Liverpool won last night of course :)
All in all it was just one of those days where you just feel happy. :)
I have tomorrow off, which is good. I need a bit of a break, I'll probably spend most of it online - maybe finally get my rose and scorpius story done.

Today was heaps fun, It was a really good day. I worked from 9-5 and we all mostly mucked around, Nice Boss was on and he didn't care, in fact he chatted with us a lot. We're having our payment plan changed and it's caused loads of discussion. We have to vote about it on Friday. Also today I worked with fun people, had mango cheesecake and I got paid public holiday rates :)

Liverpool's playing tonight but I think I'm too tired to stay up and watch it. Oh well. I'll find out how it went tomorrow.

Hope all Aussies had a great ANZAC Day, the Last Post kept playing on the radio at work all day - weird.

Today was fun because I talked to peoples on the internet for ages, drank tea and had a awesome in-joke convo with Bethany. Ingrid came back from Sydney and I went into town to see Morgan. Randoms like my teeshirt. It was weird. Ingrid and I watched Buffy. :)
Tomorrow I have to work :(

Today I read my 60th book for the year, Shattered Dreams by Irene Spencer. It's the true story of her life as plural wife. It was one of the saddest stories I've read. This girl married her half-sisters husband when she was 15 and he was 28. He ended up with 10 wives(4 that left him) and around 50 children. All living in utter poverty. It makes me very glad to be born into a family like mine. It was a good book, because you understood why these people were doing what they id even though it seemed so stupid and horrific to people not living in polygamy. She didn't even seem bitter toward her husband. He died when she was going to leave him.

I felt sick at work today so I went home early and Mitzi finished my shift. Nice Boss was on so it didn't matter. It was practically dead anyway. I managed to burn myself 3 times today but I did manage to make an awesome latte.

Tomorrow my step-sister is coming back from Sydney which means I don't have my room to myself anymore and so I need to clean my room really badly. I should go do that.

 I've had a nice lazy day today, just reading and eating way too many carbs. My mum's quite concerned about how unbalance she thinks my diet is. I don't think it's too bad - I just like pasta and bread and cake. I eat other stuff too, I had sushi for lunch yesterday!

Yesterday at work MBL was in a really good mood. It was quite scary because we didn't know what to expect. But we did get to take home loads of party pies because the bakers cooked four trays of them a little too long and they couldn't be sold. They were tasty. Work got very bring at the end because we'd done everything by 8pm so for about an hour all Steven and I could do was fold tea towels very slowly and stock up paper bags. Fun times.

I need to clean my room, and put the clothes on the line. I wish we had a dryer, it would make not going to work in dirty clothes much easier. Thankfully it's quite a sunny day today, which is rather unusual for this time of year, so it should be dry by tomorrow. I have to work about 6 hours tomorrow. The thing I dislike most about going to work is that I actually have to go. Once I get there it isn't too bad, it's the knowing I have to and actually getting up and doing it that sucks, of course if MBL is cranky then it all just sucks. On a brighter(but somewhat sucky) side I have quite a few 12-9 shifts in the next week or so and I'll get paid loads and hopefully I'll only have about $2,500 left of my debt by July.

I'm rather happy about Liverpool being top of the ladder, maybe it will finally stay that way? That would make me immensely happy.

So I came to uni today to do my tax return because for some reason our computer at home won't support the software but I forgot my Tax file number so I have to come back tomorrow. Instead I enrolled in my units for uni. I'm doing: English Literature, History: Modern Europe, French and Sociology.
It's hard to believe it's already halfway through April. It's my birthday in less than two months and uni starts a month after that. And of course there is the trip to Melbourne(squee!) before that.
I read a lot yesterday, like about 5 or 6 books, but I didn't really do much else except eat toast and clean the bathroom.I really like Diana Wynne Jones, everyone should read her books.
I'm going to go to town in a minute, I'm such a procrastinator I even put off doing things I want to do.
I have to work today and I don't want to. It's one thing doing a 12-9 on Sunday with $20/h but on Tuesdays I only get about $11 :(

Work wasn't so bad last night. MBL was shitty when I arrived but it wasn't directed at me so I was alright(not sure about the new kid though) then she seemed to realise that staying until 9pm to supervise me and Josh would mean actually staying till 9pm and she'd been there since some horridly early hour in the morning so she left at 4 and actually only rang once to check up on us. Anyway, she left and it was just me, Josh, Racheal and Xavier and wasn't too busy so we got most stuff done while not doing too much work and sneaking bits of caramel bite. (yum!) By 5pm, when the other 2 left, Josh and I had hardly any jobs left to do except an extra cleaning job MBL asked so mostly we just chatted and every now and then a customer came in. But it was pretty fun. Unfortunatly there is a hole in the ceiling and through it comes the most awful smell which we think comes from the bathrooms. It was really hard to stand there and it's where a lot of customers come to the counter. ick! I ate way too much though, when MBL isn't around we eat all the food that's not sellable but heaps eatable and make ourselves drinks. I had and egg and bacon roll, a chicken, avocado and brie foccacia, caramel slice, a hot chocolate, a cappacino and half Josh's iced tea.It was tasty.

I'm doing a 12-9pm shift tomorrow as well, but I'm not sure who I'm on with. MBL shouldn't be around for a few days because she was on all last week so hopeful she won't turn up during the nice Boss' turn. I'm going to buy myself a book tomorrow before work because in the morning I have to do my tax return and since I;ve paid off this installment of my debt and this weeks savings and still have a bit of moiney left I've decided to reward myself and hope the goverment thinks I paid enough tax to get that $900 stimulus. Just think of all the money I could pay off with that, It'd double what I've alreadyu paid back plus Mum would probably let me have some to spend on books or itunes.

I spent my easter money on volume 3 of Buffy season 8 and I enjoyed it so much. I love comics, Tony(the guy at the geek shop I practically live in during my non-working time) said volume 4 will be out in a couple of months which gives me time to save :)

also, happiness over Man U's failure :) (sorry Alice!)

So yesterday I red my 50th book for the year. yay, now I think I'm just going to see how many books I can read. Of course there are things I'm not countinjg, like books where I've just read my favourite parts or comics or fanfiction so I guess I read more than that but anyway.
50th book was The Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta and I have read it before.It is awesome. :)
