He knocked four times….

Don’t worry, no spoilers, I’m not going to say a word about the loss of the tenth Dr… I’m a bit late to do that one anyway. Suffice to say I’ve got Doctor Who – The Complete Specials [DVD] on pre-order (yes, I know, fangirl….)

So we’ve got a new year on our hands then. I’ve made some resolutions, I expect to have broken them by the end of the week but hey…

I didn’t realise just how much I needed the time off work we’ve had over Christmas. Unfortunately I’ve already started thinking about everything that I’ve got to do when I go back (which isn’t until Tuesday, because of the Scottish bank holidays) so I can already feel myself tensing up.

You know, I really can’t write anything more coherent than the above paragraphs tonight (or at least, anything The Internets would be interested in hearing). I think I’ll just go watch a bit o’ Bottom.

Big Black Boots

Posted by Nicky on Friday Nov 20, 2009 Under music, randomicky, web gems

So my head has been bits the past two or three weeks but I think it’s not far off being ok now. I’m looking forward to seeing Lis next weekend and having a break from being domestic for a couple of days ;)

Looking for inspiration for something to write about tonight (because I’ve got an itchy blogging muscle) I’ve just had a quick scan of the entries I wrote in November during my first year of blogging and oh-my-god there really was a scary-over-sharey-TMI post. Even my toes cringed. Pleased to say that I won’t be going into that much detail about something like that again.

Saying that, blogging did do some good for me. It gave me some continuity during my nomadic years, and has left me with some awesome friends (did I mention I’m going to see one of them next weekend?) When I’ve been feeling shit I’ve found it can be quite therapeutic to get the crap out of my head and into black and white, even if it’s only to hit the delete button or to lock it up so that only my closest friends can read it (and there’s been times when I’ve been really glad I can do both)…. and even if I don’t lock it there are friends who can read between the lines of babble. There’s probably some psychology in that somewhere.

Of course there’s always music to get lost in… especially when you’re rediscovering old friends in your collection and tracking down that track you’ve always liked from that band. One of them I randomly found in the Boy’s collection…. here’s a vid of it being performed (it shouldn’t auto play so you have a choice whether to watch or not!)

And so I shall hit send on this little bit of self-centredness and go back to stalking people on Facebook….

(ps: I do, indeed, have a pair of big black boots, which I wore when I had long brown hair…. there’s some photos out there somewhere….)
