Whatdoyaknow; I can go an evening without the internet... D'oh.

Now all the builders in and around the apartment are finally done, it was time to get the attic back to normal. So I spent my night upstairs putting the big screen back up, removing all the plastic covers off the furniture, rearranging my posters and measuring the new window for the black-out curtain. Since it's dark early these days I don't need to wait until I make that cover to have another marathon session. (Are you ready, artistic_sillie? I'm collecting new CSI's like a good fangirl;)

Nothing like rolling up your sleeves and doing some good ol' manual labour to forget about the woe for a while. Yesterday I took my mind off 'stuff' by creating a gallery of all my brand-spanking new userpics (the name is the aim;)

And while I'm thinking about a new LJ-design I'm fiddling with lay-outs. I really love the purple bats.

The woe is lurking in the background and tomorrow is gonna be a rough day at work; after the 'normal' workday I have to socialize until 10 pm for some 'festive' event. I plan to survive one breath at the time... Breath in, breath out, breath in, breath out.

Whenever the festivities and people are too much, just calm yourself by imagining that Nick and Greg are also at the party, and that Nick is just as uncomfortable as you are, and Greg knows that, so he's distracting Nick by touching him inappropriately and walking away, and Nick is getting all growly and frustrated and Greg is getting tipsy and giggly, and if he doesn't stop, you're going to walk in on them fucking in a closet.

ahem.

THANK YOU. That totally helped me get through the long working day (Although it didn't really calm me down *g*)

Yay, manual labor! Babysitting a hyperactive 19-month old is also very good for making you all tired and wave your hand dismissively at the Internerd.

I love all the userpics, but I think Emma Thompson is my new favorite!

(And hey, I kinda miss the old layout. Aw.)

*hugs you and hope there's a little less woe every day*

Awh, yeah, Emma.

(The old lay-out is parked here;). I'll probably fiddle with the background a bit before picking a new theme.

I hope the woe will disappear before the end of the year (but it's not likely)

Also? Your userpics are awesome. *nods*

Also also? Don't you just hate it when you have to socialize, even when you don't want to? Especially on a 'festive' event, 'cause everybody expects you to be all happy and smily. >___>;;

Deeeeep breath.

(*bounces* counting down the days here:)

Thanks, I wish I had more time to play with the pics.

Luckily I found something a little more useful to do than just sit and/or walk around playing hostess, but there were still a lot of people who wanted to talk to me while I was busy. I made it though. \o/
