Two Extra Hours of Reception;

So now what...? I've been on reception since two, and I was supposed to be off half an hour ago, but then I found out that the other person who was going to take over actually isn't around today... so I guess I have to stay here for an extra two hours... yippee. I have a headache and some Ibuprofen, but no water... shoot. What should I do?
I read Les Miserables for the first hour and a half, but I don't really feel like doing that anymore. Humm. This is a list of random names that I like.

1. Tempest; is my favourite. Love it.
2. Forest; is beautiful.
3. Revelin;
4. Marius; makes me happy.
5. Tanzania; Tanzie
6. Emmerson; beautifully classic, yet not very used.
7. Emery; not like the band.
8. Cayenne; like the pepper.
I am drinking very stale water; yum.
9. Declan;
10. Maeve; very Irish.
11. Horizon; who cares if it's cheesy?
12. Jasper; very underused.
13. Africa; as in the continent.
14. Isabella; not because of Twilight.
15. Ankara; as in the capital of Turkey

Enough nameness for the time being.
Now what? I still have an hour to go. Shoot, I feel like I've typed this exact same thing before... Don't get me wrong, I love doing reception, it's just that it starts to draaaaag a little after two or three hours...
SO, weird, I'm leaving for Spain in like, two and a half (ish) weeks! Bizzarro,...,...,... ...
I still haven't gotten my head around that. T'will be my first time out of an airport in mainland Europe! Yay! I have been on the ground in Europe, but only inside of airport grounds. So it doesn't really count. I've been to the airports in
The Netherlands four times
Germany once
and Denmark once
But YAY I get to leave the airport! In Spain AND Belgium! Yippee! I'm slightly excited. I'm also very excited because I get to go with some of my favourite people ever :-) Our team at the moment consists of 9 DTSers (Cheryl, Kati, Ashleigh, Stephanie, Catherine, Hester, Rach(a?)el, Sam and Josh), three staff members (Taryn, Matt and my dad) and Me. And, hopefully my mom and brother will be visiting sometime for a few weeks at least. Maybe the whole second half. Sweet.
You know what, I really love that tree right in the middle of the hedgeness. It's really beautiful. Especially without any leaves on it.
Wow, if I keep on typing on here for the next hour until I'm done with reception, this post is going to get reaalllly long.
Yay! I finished almost all of my Christmas shopping. I adore amazon. Amazon is officially my second best friend.
I am getting increasingly more tired.
We're having a Christmas party tonight! Yay! Going to hang out in reception, listen to Christmas music, eat cookies, drink hot chocolate, hang out and decorate the Christmas tree. Yippee! I'm very excited. And we have a fire place with fire in it, which makes the whole world a better place :-D
Did you know that Stephen Fry is my absolute hero? He's probably actually one of my favourite people on the planet. Other than the people that I actually know. He is an absolute legend in every possible way. Hey, there's only 40 minutes of reception left! Yay!
Maybe I willl read another chapter of Les Mis. So should you. In fact, everyone should. Here-

There you go; happy birthday.
Yay! Alex is going to refill my now cold hot water bottle for me. I love you dearest brother!
Except when he came back with it he tried to keep it. But he did eventually give it back, so I still love him.
Finished the eleventh chapter of Les Miserables. Only 15 minutes more. I think I will finish this now, so I don't end up counting down to the second I can go. Awesome well, have a lovely life my dear fellow human beings. The end. Fin. Au Revoir...

Bye.

So, a few months ago my sister and brother and I went to see As You Like It by the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford on Avon, and one of the actors in particular was very convincing and just amazing at his part. So Annie and I looked him up on Youtube and all that to see if he had anything up, and found a few 1 minute clips but not much else.
SO, last night I went with my brother to a friends house to chillax, eat chocolate and watch a film. It was a close draw between There Will Be Blood and Defiance (since those were actually the only choices), but in the end we decided to go with Defiance. I was already excited about it, since one of the main actors is Jamie Bell, and he is a simply amazing actor.
As the film goes on tons of new people are introduced to the story. At one point, one of the newer characters comes on and introduces his fiancé to someone, and as he come on the screen, I suddenly realised who it was! It was Jonjo O'neill from the RSC, who played Orlando in As You Like It! So crazy. That was a very surreal moment for me. Especially seeing as we almost ran him over in our car after the play... oops.
Anyhow, It was an interesting moment for me, and I just thought I would put it up here. By the way, Defiance is a really awesome film - totally worth watching.

Heliotrope!


Heliotrope is the newest edition to my family. I love Heliotrope. Unfortunately, Heliotrope and Sharwood don't get along very well. They both think I love the other more, where I actually love them both the same. Oh well.

Sharwood Galbraith.


THIS is Sharwood. He is a very good friend of mine, and has been his whole life. I've know him ever since day one. Ever since I created him about 3 weeks ago. I love Sharwood.

Creativity Unleashed...


This is what happens when I leash my creativity, and then suddenly let it out... not always the best idea when there are markers near...
