The world.
I think I'm going to start journalling - physically, not online.
My fingers have gone numb because we've been airing out the house an now it's dark so if i type badly it's because of that, not because I'm drunk or anything. Speaking of which, I keep finding concerning things that I've posted on the interent while under the influence... I have given up drinking for EVER.
Going to IRELAND next friday. Five days. Oh. I should pack.
Grey's is on tonight. She dies but she comes back. Had to happen. Trash but oh-so-emotive. |

Introducing some of my girls for future reference. My Bs are beautiful and strange and special. Here's Elspeth, a French Trench. She was my second blythe and is very shy. And a bit square when it comes down to it.
She's always being the wet blanket, saying "I think we should go home now" and getting anxious when things don't follow the rules. Also, don't try and make her wear pants, she doesn't think it's ladylike.
Elspeth has a rare skin condition, she doesn't talk about it much, where her makeup comes off. So you'll often see her with messy lipstick and no eyeshadow. Although she is rather prim and proper, she does like to look after her younger sisters, but isn't very good friends with Peteena and Odeco (a Superior by name and by nature). |
