some of you may have noticed i've been quite active since being single
and doing things, that i'm fairly sure a few people on my friends really don't want to know about
but its stuff that i need to be able to say somewhere
so i am starting for the very first time on my lj a specific subject filter

if you want to know about my sex life, let me know
this will include a run down of my trip to london
and other peoples privacy well be respected.

[music |19th nervous breakdown - rolling stones]

well he was supposed to be spending the afternoon afixing the scotoiler to the bike
he is still out there getting parts, won't be back for awhile and he hasn't had lunch (blood suger levels get to be an issue)
pauls round at five to get him out of the place, so no time this afternoon to afix the scotoiler i think

i have no paper plates for serving the cake
i have finished tidying the flat and plenty of time after 5 to get paper plates (i have a car damn it)
off to make lunch

and no the music wasn't front loaded!!!!

panic somewhat abated
i collected the most gorgeous cake (darkfudge with coffe/choc icing with after eight dinner mints and coffee praline choclates and many many chocolate sprinkles) and even if the whole thing goes pear shaped, so long as he gets a slice of that i've made it.
must check vodka levesl

okay the conversation , went something like this
'you know saturday night'
'yes'
'well theres been a few red herrings, so expect the unexpected, well expect anything really'
'ooookay'
'I'm feeling rather nervous about it, i've never done it before and I don't want you to hate me, or have it go wrong, or, or..., how are you feeling about it?'
'nervous, aprehensive, preturbed, bit excited'

yeah okay so I'm crap at keeping quiet, but i don't think he's much the wiser, but I feel much better

the best present you can give us, is to have this go without incident

alan knows he has to be out for a couple hours til eight on saturday
paul is distracting him.
so if you want to be in for the singing of happy birthday please be here for just before then
there is many crisps, muffins and cake

On the plus side, he knows I have a nefarious plan, which makes its easier to get things sorted out. He’s also been told its not to do with his birthday. So hopefully he’ll still be surprised. Now I just have to organise cakes and getting him out the house for a couple of hours on Saturday. A shopping run will also be in order sometime next week to stock up on crisps, soda and the like. These can hide in the car.

I’m actually getting quite nervous about the whole thing.

the non-gamer filter

thanks for the feedback on surprise birthday
given that our birthday falls between conplusion and beltaine
i think scaling back might be the best idea

someone also pointed that I could have it before hand
so i'm thinking April 1, the weekend after conplusion
at our place, from 8
if you can make it for before 8, you get to do the happy birthday thing
if you can't make it till after that, please check so you don't ruin the surprise.

other arrangements
cake baking, need to find somewhere to get this done
finding someone to get alan out of house until 8

[Tags|]

nongamer - filter

as you may or may not know, me and gamer have the same birthday (everyone say awwww!!!)
APril 15
we did nothing for my 30th last year, my choice, but kinda wish i had

so this year is gamers 30th birthday (and mine to)
I am considering having a surprise birthday for him.
our birthday falls on a saturday this year, however, it is two weekends before beltane

so (not up to doing a survey)
who would be interested in coming/assisting (obviously most people here would be coming to my birthday, but I can round up people for his bit as well)
should i reschedule it for after beltane
suggestions on where
and would angus/graham interested in assiting for the dj'ing.

so wishing hadn't given those jersey's my mum knitted me to charity, wool's expensive over here and I could have undone them

so many cool things to knit
*faint*

http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEspring03/PATTjanda.html

http://knitty.com/ISSUEsummer05/PATTbaseball.html

so projects

1/ baby Xander is nearly a year old and summer is round the corner and he currently lives in auckland
if its okay with donelle I might leave that one for awhile and knit him something in a few months.

2/ my new cable jersey, must look for suitable arran pattern

3/ have decided to reknit the large blankie, it needs a cable in it to stop it streching sideways so much
I should undo it, wash it etc, but its huge, dirty and mutlistranded, so shall cheat and reknit it then wash it. It's only a blankie.

4/ Jersey for babe ruth and babe xander, need one that covers age s 1-4

5/Need time, I knit whilst watching tv, and I haven't watched tv since we moved virtually, but life shows some signs of calming down. It would be to wierd and bulky to knit in the pub. There is a sitch and bitch session going somewhere and Nicky's sewing circle (two form of geekdom that go well together), but i need to completely abandon any pretence of Mage for that, and can't quite bring self to desert ravenstew completely.

and others who enrich my days

David, graham and niall, for their ljs

Matt and Teff, for existing (i don't need to participate, but its fun knowing they are there)

Meran, Xander and ruth, who make childern less scary

thomas, for letting me watch him grow

gamers and wargamers, KAOS and eKAOS (mainly auld hoose), for preserving the ways of geek and promoting their general coolness (and sexiness in some instances)

and the list could start getting silly here
but on the whole there are only a handful of people I wish i hadn't meet
there are probably more circumstances i wish i'd avoided meeting people or ending up with them in
but hey, wouldn't be fun without that bit
