Things done on Friday

[soulstar]

• Been to the sorting office to pick up a packet that needed signing for... and discovered it was the photos from thewatch - ta! :-D


• Took said photos over to Mum's and left them there for el bro.  Duly admired (and dodged) newly done paintwork, and ooo-ed over baby lettuce and tomato plants (small stalks with leaves on top. very nice I'm sure).


• Had a highly amusing time in Sainsbury's.  Shopping while slightly manic?  Much more fun.  Because you can add trolley sound-effects out loud without caring.  Brrrrrrrrm brrrrrrrm brrrrrrrrrrrrrrm!  Bought too much interesting salad (still manic).


• Burned Lost 2.17 & 18 to disc.


• Tried to fix the hall lightswitch more securely to the wall.  Failed, because the wall is kinda crumbly and not inclined to provide much grip for the rawlplugs.  Oh well.


• Called the Yorkshire Building Society and discovered that I've either got to go to Eastbourne, or write to them, to do a transfer from one account to the other.  Ho hum.


• Called Scottish Power and got the sudden and bizarre electricity bill they'd sent me (I have a pre-payment meter!) sorted out.


• Called the dentist, and was told to call back in three weeks.  Again.  *headdesk*


• Printed off the rest of the course material for my OU course.


• Had toast for breakfast!  (I keep forgetting to record my breakfasts, and it is an integral part of PEDW, after all!)


• Realised that my cat disciplining skills are completely rubbish:
  Xander: *plays up*
  Me: Argh!  I'm going to BEAT YOU!!!! *takes single step towards him*
  Xander: *flees in abject terror and hides under the bed... for 30 seconds*
  Me: *goes back to what I was doing*
  Xander: *emerges, plays up*
  Me: Argh!!!  (....rinse and repeat)

And now I'm going to.... to.... have a go at editing that damn fic, I expect.  Oh, no!  I know: I'm going to answer emails.  That's a good idea.  I'll do that, then.

Yeah - it's the way they sing - the phrasing and the way they but words together. I've been listening to lots of Northern music like The Stone Roses, The Verve and Oasis just to get the phrasing right and to get a blokes voice in my head when writing. I mean I might make him out to be gay so I can do all fancying Sam stuff, but he still a bloke of course.

Of course he is! He's got a girlfriend, after all! *g*

Of course he does - and he explains all about her in my fic!
