WOW. It's been a while, huh?

I haven't properly updated in FOREVER. I've done ramblings and little messages, but nothing solid.

I'm so bad :S

I have a couple of icons i'm hopefully going to post before long. Possibly the end of the week. I'm working on bulking it up a bit first.
So far i have around 15 Merlin icons, one or two Vampire Diaries and the odd True Blood. So i want to work on a few mor eof those before i post them up for you guys.

I also want to attempt a vid again. More than likely Vampire Diaries or i'm thinking of maybe making a couple up. Crossovers and the such. Maybe a Gossip Girl cross? What do you think?

If you guys have any ideas or just fancy helping a girl out, then tell me. The more input the better it helps me NOT to tear out my hair, thinking them up myself. LOL.

As for myself, i spent yesterday at Meadowhall with the little bro and my mum. Spent over £200 and walked my feet to bloody stumps.

I name today 'Sitting on my a$$' day. My feet feet are SO sore. It was worth it though.

I got pretties.

I also bought some really boring shoes. So boring infact, that i won't even post a pic for them. They were comfy, and i kinda need a comfy pair right now for walking and stuff. Did help tht buying them got me 1/3 off an absolutely gorgeous clutch bag. It's not gigantic, but just that right size of big that i can get the bits i would normally take to a party. Touch up make-up, cell phone, purse, gel insoles. .Yes. I do use them. Shoes hurt after a while. So it makes sense.

#tip: Before going to a party, put your gel insoles in the fridge for an hr or two, then put them in a zippy bag and stick them in your purse. When your feet start to ache, take them out the bag and stick them in your shoes. Should still be slightly cool and will help those tired tootsies.

I bought a few christmas presents. Cards for when i send them out this year, which i will need addresses for, if you guys wanna send me a message with them? If you don't want a card, no worries. But if you do, then send me a message and expect a pretty card. Hopefully these will impress ;D

Hmm. .Don't know what else i can post. LOL!

I've been trying to pick up my RP stuff again with drumbitch, but i'd love if we could add one or two more people in to bulk up the forum. This one is invite only though. So you guys will have to give me a yell if you wanna try getting in. Sorry.

Ok. I'm going for lunch. I'm so hungry! LOL!

I can't believe this. I like finding a bargain on Ebay as much as the next person. But i'm getting so sick and tired of finding artwork stolen and being passed off on cheap tat like mugs or mouse mats and cr@p!

It's so degrading and downright embarassing to find work that my friends have worked hard to make as a fan, to celebrate their favourite fandom, being STOLEN and used for sh*t like this.

SERIOUSLY?! You guys need to BACK THE F*CK UP!

WE KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING! AND WE WON'T STAND FOR IT, ANYMORE!

(To you guys who regularly make twilight arts. I suggest you check this and make sure your work hasn't been stolen/ripped off. This dude shows A LOT of his so called 'SAMPLES'')

I deliberately HAVEN'T read talkofcake spoilers post for Sanctuary. BUT I SO WANT TO! GAH!

I found out last night that my mum is an actual fan. Or starting off, anyway. I came down last night and found her watching last weeks episode on tv, which it turns out is airing over here in the UK, only a week behind the U.S.

DAMN.

So she told me she watched one or two and that it was interesting and more or less i admitted my LOVE for the show and sat and watched the rest with her. It was fun.

Now she wants me to watch it regularly with her, but i have to wait another week to catch up, when i've already waited one week now.

TWO WEEKS WITHOUT MY MAGNUS/WILL FIX?! AM NOT HAPPY! *GROWLS*

I needed to get that out. SORRY :S

*LOTS OF HUGS*

Hey guys! How you doin'? Lol

I'm in a pretty good mood today. I got my cousin visiting, so i haven't been around much lately. Sorry for that :S

I've been trying to get back on track with crafting, but so far i'm only on track with sewing, as my damn craft box has gone on vacation. I've turned the house upside down looking for it, but it remains elusive. Damn.

Icons and arts are getting there, slowly. I've finally managed to get a couple done, and have worked on that colouring problem i had, Thanks kirbyed  You're a star! ;D

Hopefully i'll get some posted by the end of this week, at the latest.

A question to any girls that aren't toothpick sized. .Anyone ever ordered from SimplyBe and found that the size they ordered is way too small, even though it's your NORMAL size from any other store and ALWAYS fits?!

I ordered the most gorgeous biker jacket and a pair of black jeans to go with it. They arrived this morning, i squeed, giggled and rushed to try them on. .THE JEANS DON'T FIT! WTF!? I'm SO pissed. I waited nearly 3 1/2 weeks for the suckers to come and they don't fit. WTH?!

Thankfully the jacket fit or i really would have gone nuts. I'm an impatient cow, i know. But i take after my mum in that sense and i waited ages, you know?

Anyways, their wrapped back up to send back and my jacket is hanging with pride on the edge of my bookcase till i finish saving for that new wardrobe i desperately need. I have WAY too many clothes and too little space, so random things are hung off other bits of furniture for now. Bummer :(

Oh! I've been rewatching skins! And i forgot just how much i <3 Tony from season 1&2! The guy was the total bad boy all the way through season 1, then does a complete 180 for season 2.

Nicholas Hoult is really underrated i think, as i haven't seen him in much else apart from skins really. Anyone know of him in anything else?

Just a couple of things i want to drop you guys to look at. .

Hey guys! Just wanted to give you a genera; update, really.

Went back into hospital AGAIN. Got stuck with a couple of hundred needles and put on an IV for 3 days. Didn't eat for 4. Guess that helps my diet though, right?

Er. .Hmm. Kinda stuck for anything interesitng to mention, really. I've just been feeling cr@ppy for a while now and it's really been effecting my moods. Mostly sleepy and just wanting to BE asleep. Anything to get rid of my pains ATM.

I GOT TWITTER!

Although some of you know that now. My memories really awful. But thats a permanent thing. Lol. Sorry :S

Just a few tidbits i wanted to drop that i've seen/heard about.

10 Muppets and Their Mad Men Counterparts & 10 Things That Suck About Being Joan ~ Saw these and couldn't help getting the giggles. Good comparison on Pete. LOL!

My Twitter ~ I've been debating, talking roisen murphy, selena's trip with unicef, the new trailer for Merlin etc. Give me a shout with your name's if you wanna follow, and i'll do the same back ;D

And finally. .Season 2 trailer for Merlin Thanks, NellieWu!

Icons will hopefully happen soon. Was having a lot of trouble with colourings and them being different after saving :S

Is that a common MAC problem?

Ok, so with all the cr@p going on. I decided to finally jump on the bandwagon and join twitter.
My cousin's GF, Kelly, was asking me about facebook and twitter and which i had. I told her i didn't have any except a livejournal, and I think the girl is thinking i'm totally weird.

Is it? Weird not to be kneedeep in everyone's business through these tweet things?

I'm thinking it's gonna be a way to atleast keep up some, as i've been so out of the loop lately with being in hospital a 4th time now. .Oops. .I forgot to mention that. But, yeah. I got taken in for about 5 days, last week. Another hit of Pancreatitus. GO ME!

Anyone want to give me some pointers for twitter? How to post a pic and various do's & Don't's? I'd appreciate it.

OH! And those on the dieting team? I finally hit the 3st mark!

WOOT!

Hopefully i can get more active by the end of the week. Being laid on a bed for five days did not help my leg any. I keep wobbling all over the joint and going to the left?

Anyway, all you guys with twitter let me know, ok? Mine is: twitter.com/WinchesterJo

(I know it's backwards, but some douche took it first.

I'm so freakin' sick of everything, right now. Everything has gone wrong lately.

I finally got let out of the hospital today. Doctor had to give me several needles first as blackmail, but eventually he did enough it seemed and mum and john picked me up. Then just as we get to the main road a few streets from our house. Somebody hit us.

I can't freakin' believe that after all the sh*t this week, somebody hit's the back end of our jeep.

It's not done as much damage as we thought, but Mum's a mess of bruises and hurt her back and neck, John's been sick several times and hit his head pretty hard. I have a bruise on my knee, middle of my chest from the seatbelt and a pretty big one on my back, but mostly it was all mum as she got sent straight into the steering wheel and it winded her pretty badly.

The kicker for myself was having to GO BACK TO HOSPITAL. People working there must have thought i was one of those people who have a hard on for pain or something. I was out just under an hour. I'm just so effin' mad and i honestly don't know why. The accident was on the guy behind us not looking where he was going and arguing with his wife, apparantly. But mum was so upset and kept thinking dad was going to furious for HER  getting the car in an accident. I couldn't do nothing but try to make her breath and wait while someone dialled for the police and an ambulance came for us.

We haven't had to stay in and my dad's friend Roger came and picked us up and brought us home, but i'm worried about mum more than anything. She's just sat on the couch with her legs up and just keeps drinking tea. She hasn't eaten anything and isn't really saying much, but drinking her tea and twidling her wedding ring round her finger.

I think maybe it's the shock of it? She kept repeating how she'd never had an accident till now and how it'll bump up the tax on the car, but dad kept saying it wasn't important if we were all ok and that he'd sort it. (God bless the man)

John hasn't really said much apart from he felt sick and he threw up a couple of times before going to bed, and i ache mostly, but i can't seem to keep still. Hence me writing the whole sordid details on LJ, i guess.

I don't know. I'm starting to think that 22 is a really unucky number for me.

Also, i want to say thanks to wigbee71583 paradoxprincess sweet_lil_rach & savepureness for all the 'Get Well' comments. They DID help. REALLY.

I'm in the hospital again.

This time i have an infection.

GO ME, RIGHT!?!

I can't believe that Michael Jackson has died at just 52, I mean, ok, some people do die younger and some older. But he wasn't one i had expected to hear. .at least not yet, anyway. Cos everyone dies and all. . But still. I remember back when i was 10 and dancing round my bedroom to one of his cassette tapes.

I also just heard about Farrah Fawcett too. It was inevitable, but it's still so sad to hear about. My dad is particularly upset, as he used to have the biggest crush on her (he has all her Charlie's Angels dvd's + several movies). It's going to be a sad day in Hollywood today, my friends.

Anyone who HAS a life, knows that dieting is a b*tch and we all hate it, but love the results when we stick to it. That includes me.

(I've been out of hospital a little while now and have lost a good 1 1/2st)

In my bid to keep myself occupied, i've been making plans and working on redecorating/revamping my bedroom and came across a blog mentioning craigslist. Yes, half of the articles and ads have porn-y nicknames, but i found one that i had to read, entitled. .

" It ain't easy being a fat chick "

I'm recommending this read to everyone on my flist, just because it really made me feel a lot better about myself and the struggle i've been having, being an overweight young woman. .Plus it was quite comedic and gave me a good giggle with my morning tea.

I'm especially pointing this out to charlie_jae & dhfreak, as i think this will make you laugh, guys ;D

Anyway, i have plans to go out and have a walk around town this morning, so i won't keep you all any longer, but to say i'm working on my next icon post and that i might try and include a manip in it as well.

Any suggestions?

P.S. I forgot to mention that i also got given 4 invite codes from dreamwidth a few nights ago. .Anybody looking for one?

My Dreamwidth

Yep. I finally got on the bandwagon too.

Thanks to curse_of_avalon for the invite!

hospital beds are freakin' uncomfortable
