*blows away cobwebs*

A lot's happened since I posted last. My mother died in April - she was 67 and although she'd been very ill for a long time she wasn't terminally ill, so it was a huge shock. We're all slowly picking up the pieces and taking each day as it comes.

I sort of dropped out of fandom really, and as LJ to me is a lot about fandom I just didn't come here. It's also a place where I have some very good friends, so I knew I couldn't stay away forever. I'm going to catch up on what everyone's doing, I hope you are all well x

Have been promoted at work - longer hours but more money, yay! Haven't been around much, been very tired. I know I've missed birthdays and other important events, I'm truly sorry and feel horrible about it :(

I hope you are all well - please tell me of any exciting things happening in your life!

This was part of my uniform at work today :



I had wings too, but unfortunately the elastic binding them to me was snapped when a colleague got overexcitable after overdoing the festive sherry. Took the opportunity to make many 'I'm an angel of the lord, show me some respect!' comments, nobody else got it but I was amused!

Dear Santa... Dear Santa, This year I've been busy! Last Tuesday phantomas and I donated clothes to the needy (11 points). Last Wednesday I stole siluria's purse (-30 points). Last Thursday I didn't flush (-1 points). In February I punched smilla02 in the arm (-10 points). Last Friday I helped scarletsherlock across the street (6 points). Overall, I've been naughty (-24 points). For Christmas I deserve a moldy sandwich! Sincerely, _elvie

Oh dear...

Henry VIII, portrayed by Brian Blessed, is living in modern-day suburbia and surfing the internets...to me, this = absolute comedy perfection and GOLD!

"I don't want a bloody rice cake - it's like eating crunchy air!"

"You really reminded me of Anne Boleyn just then...spooky...whatever happened to her...?"



The episode where he goes looking for 'lucky number 7' on a dating website is a classic too!

I have a beautiful snowflake cookie from the lovely scarletsherlock.

Thank you so much, 'tis smashing! :D

Supernatural fans! Do you want to see Dean, Sam, Bobby and Castiel as dancing christmas elves? Thanks to leandralocke you can!

I'm still going to be laughing about this all day tomorrow.

3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
