in summary [23 Dec 2009|07:36pm] llamafranko [ mood | cold ] [ music | Christmas Wrapping - Shopgirls ] Ya'll this has been a wierd year. Overall I am proud of my accomplishments and think this has been one of the best years of my life...that being said, I am so ready to rock 2010 and for 2009 to be over. These past three months have been stressful and not being home for the holidays has been depressing as hell. I refuse to think that things won't turn around soon and I am looking forward to starting over in 2010... I'm in Derby with Fi and her family now and am finally strating to get into the christmas spirit which is good. It's looking like New Years is gonna be a low key affair with just a few people. the 31st is R's (the guy I told ya'll about forever ago) birthday so we're gonna hang out, cook some food, and watch Jules Holland (the British new year's tradition). That situation is interesting, we are friends and get on really well but he is incompetently attempting to hit on me (he's never had a girlfriend, I am the first reasonable not crazy girl to be interested in him, and he's a crazed academic...this is hilarious and also sad at the same time.) I am not adverse to anything happening and do want something to happen between us, but I refuse to make excuses for male incompetence anymore which isn't helping matters. so yeah, watch this space... in other news England has had record snowfall and the whole place looks like a freaking postcard. The concept of a White Christmas really excites me and has been a bright spot in the stressful few days:) my thoughts and prayers are with all of you this holiday season! hope all is well! 2 comments|post comment

[16 Dec 2009|09:38pm] llamafranko hey guys, can we quickly discuss this? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/8414124.stm how freaking sweet is this? what up cancer?!?!? I think you just got SERVED! (sort of) in other news, things are ok here...I have lots of leads on archaeology/museum jobs and I have a new lead on a part time job thanks to the loverly H-Lizzle (her company is based in Leeds and needs folks...sweet). I'm going to Derby for christmas and hanging out with my friend Fi's family, which will be strange but good. This weekend I am going to the Theoretical Archaeology Group's conference up in Durham:) This is super great as I get to meet absolute LEDGENDS in the feild and hopefully network some. additionally there is free booze and a traditional scottish square dance involved AND its supposed to snow! hooray! this is incoherent and I am tired so i'm gonna go to bed. I'll update more soon! post comment
