Yes it's me... I'm still alive, so don't panic lovelies!

Thought I'd just do a quick update and inform you/cry about how Tumblr and fandoms have ruined my life XD Currently updating my list of fandoms to:

Supernatural (up to date)
Hannibal (up to date)
Game of Thrones (have yet to start S3)
Doctor Who (still on Series 1, ep10)
Grimm (still on S2)
Arrow (still on S1)
Sherlock (up to date)
Elementary (up to date)
Stargate SG-1 (currently on S7)

There's probably tons more that I've sold my soul to but I can't remember them off the top of my head ;

On the subject of Stargate... I'm now contemplating a Nirrti cosplay! Just hope I can get my friend to help me make a hand device/kara'kesh to complete the look, I'm hopeless at making anything on my own and I've never worked with metals so yeah kinda need a big helping hand there... ;

Will be uploading a few pics from Wellygeddon 2013! The guest list was BEYOND AMAZING omg!! Had the best time and got to visit The Weta Cave (where you can find all the props and collectible goodies relating to LOTR/The Hobbit and so much more! I went on the workshop tour and got to touch all the props from District 9... I nearly died of happiness you should've seen me! lol

Other than ruining my life with fandom upon fandom and various hot men (go watch Stargate for Cliff Simon... never have I seen a more beautiful man!! One of the best villains in that show too), I've just been working and thinking seriously about a move to Wellington... there's not much left here where I live, and hubby seems very open to the idea so that's sort of encouraged me to think more about it. Probably won't be for quite some time yet though, so watch this space!

Picspam coming soon XD

I didn't think I could have any more bad days atm... I mean with the continuation of these aftershocks (some larger ones than usual) I think we've all got quite enough to deal with, but then I get hit with something personally and my whole world just stops once again.

It was bad enough last year when our little household lost our lovely cat Rosie - she'd been 13 years old and done quite well as far as health and things go, and then she went and got hit by a car instead of being granted the chance to die in her sleep as all old people and animals deserve. Took me weeks if not months to get over that... and then today I'm at work waiting to start my shift as I was covering for someone else, and mum informs me that she'd just heard from my sister (who'd come to stay for a couple of days, bringing the kids and their dog who's about to have puppies) that my nephew had opened our rabbit's cage to pet him earlier today, and the rabbit had promptly escaped only to be caught by their dog and as a consequence died. Whether it was from fright or the dog had actually broken his neck or something I haven't found out, but then I'm not sure I want to know...

Jax (bunny's name, called after Jax Teller from Sons of Anarchy ^^) had been fine with our dogs... initially they'd been very fascinated with him of course, but after a while that died off and they all sort of just hung around doing their own thing whenever Jax was let out of his cage to go run around as he loved to do.
Then my sister's dickhead on-off boyfriend (who's periodically on drugs) causes problems at their place and my sister runs to us with her kids and dog to stay for a couple of days while the police sort the dickhead boyfriend out >.< So I know it's not logical, and my nephew's only 11, but he'd been instructed never to let Jax out while their dog was there, as Mum didn't know how Tia (the dog in question) would react. Apparently pretty badly... *sigh*
So yeah I know it's not logical, and I do love him because he's family, but I can't help but blame all of them for what's happened today... I may change my mind given a little time to calm down, but my nephew didn't listen to what he was told so he's partly to blame for poor Jax's death (though I'm sure he knows this and has probably beaten himself up enough about this today, so I'm not going to say anything to him) as well as my sister for bringing the dog despite Tia being pregnant and also not leaving the boyfriend once and for all since he's such a waste of space, and her dickhead boyfriend for being such a loser and a druggie retard > Unfair to blame anyone, as logically I know life can be just a series of bad luck events and it's not anyone's fault really... but all the same, how could anyone have let this happen? It's weird, I didn't really think I'd been so attached to Jax, but it's just hard for someone so softhearted as me to not picture that he might have been in pain or scared when it happened to him... and it just makes me even more upset.

So all in all, not a great start to the New Year even though on the day itself I saw it in with watching awesome movies in a movie marathon sucky continuation though, but I do hope it gets better... I'll keep praying, I won't lose faith in an improved year no matter what. <3

Sorry to put a damper on everyone's new year! Forgive me... I just needed to rant...

Sooooo yeah, Auckgeddon is now over - photos are up on Facebook, but I may add a few to here as well for everyone's viewing pleasure if they wish. ^^ It was fun as per usual, though the first and last day (it went for four days, far too long in my opinion for a con lol) was best as it made things MUCH easier to get around in my huge dress (Sandplay Luka cosplay, hoorah!) and look at all the stalls I wanted to and get photos and stuff.

Had some lols as well, and finding out that a mate of mine who also lives in Chch had come up to Auckland for Armageddon and had booked a room right next to mine in the same motel was LE AWESOME! Turns out it was her 21st so me and her brother and a whole buncha peepz basically camped out in her room drinking Cody's and watching Seed of Chucky on channel Four and having a terrific night - though I have to admit we could have been a little quieter... XDD

Get back like Tuesday night this week gone and find out that my best mate who'd been dating another best mate of mine had broken up... so I was like 'sadface' for a while, but I think they'll still be good friends so that's okay. I'd hate for them to not talk to each other and then have to chat to them separately or something, major awkward... but no worries there, all good. Yay! *scratches head* I think I'm rambling, sorry... I always struggle to find relevant things to talk about, my life isn't exactly what you'd call filled with interesting events except for when I'm attending cons or have seen an awesome movie or something.

Also, they're moving out so I'm just hoping they can get interwebs back soon wherever they end up... I hate being separated from them even online XD

In other news... it's Guy Fawkes here in NZ! (Tomorrow for you US peepz lol) So yesterday me and the hubby grabbed two large boxes of fireworks for a good deal (buy one get one half price) and let off one box tonight. Hopefully we remember to do the other lot tomorrow, otherwise it'll be another year before we get around to it... XD

Nothing else to report for now! Signing out ^_^

Yeah title says it all... six weeks until I fly up to Auckland for Armageddon Expo 2011! Tickets for the con and airfare are all booked and bought now, so I should probably remember to clear up space for new photobomb madness on my camera SD cards XD

Cosplay is ordered also, buuuuuut not entirely confident it'll be finished in time so I bet you I'll have to fall back on my Sandplay Luka cosplay for like four days ; At this point I've decided not to be fussy or over-worried, I just want to go up buy lots of useless things and have another good holiday before I have to get back into the swing of things work-wise once again :woot:
Having had a great time in Australia recently I feel at least one more break will do it until I have to worry about Xmas anyway lolz...

Oh yeah... apparently it's been a year now since we experienced our first earthquake, but really I never worried overmuch about that one compared to the Feb 22 one... now THAT was a doozy >.< I mean any photo I see of the city centre's red zone now just makes it look all pockmarked and like it's been punched in the face and is missing like 3/4 of its teeth *sigh* It's sort of depressing, but at the same time it's sorta good to know some of it will come back soon and more of the cordon around it will shrink or streets be made more accessible soon so here's hoping!

In other news... it's also the 10th anniversary of 9/11, it seems. Big nod to everyone in America that had to experience such trauma, we here in Chch know how it wounds one's soul whether you were actually in the city that day or were somewhere else in the country/world and knew someone there, or just saw the news and watched with horror at the events that unfolded. We're all with you, and our hearts hold a little more hope knowing you've got our backs too. <3

Not much else to report atm really... I'm not even gaming much right now so I can't report if I'm currently kicking ass in Dynasty Warriors or anything like that ; However I did see Priest recently at the movies, and I quite liked it so I'm thinking it's on the list of DVDs to buy eventually XDD


Bye for now! <3s you all

Well basically I've been away for the last three-odd weeks in Australia staying with and Sephy... went to Brisbane first to stay with Sephy and had to put up with her mother OMG... crazy woman seriously, I'm glad she ain't mine she's so picky and never lets an argument go, not to mention how she just runs off whenever a guy clicks his fingers pretty much...

But I'm not going to go on about that cause that's not what my holiday was about LOL...

Anyways got to spend a week or so in Brisbane going to all sorts of different places and buying WAY too many DVDs which i then proceeded to while away the night hours with in Sephy's company After that we met up with and all flew down to Sydney to spend the next week with as she'd hooked us up with bookings in the hostel she was staying at herself so that meant we all got to hang out heaps which was AWESOMESAUCE ^_^ She took us out to lots of different and great locations such as the Sydney Aquarium, Wildlife World, Sydney Tower, Supanova (which was really the most time we got to spend with lol) and Luna Park... only good thing about us consequently getting stranded there due to the ash cloud causing problems for many airlines (btw Jetstar you FAAAAILLLL) was that we got to get all the places and sights could think of fitted in instead of just most of them, so thank you hun we had the best time! <3

Finally had enough after continuously having Jetstar cancel our flights on us so we got fed up (poor hubby was spending more money on accommodation and flights cause things kept being screwed up) and got a flight with Emirates yesterday morning and was back in Chch yesterday afternoon... soooooo relieved to be back home! Loved sydney but after a while it was getting a bit much and a bit hard on the pocket too >.<
Then things took a bad turn when i got off my flight after landing back in Chch yesterday when i turned my phone back on (hadn't been able to receive any txts or calls in Aus) and got a txt from my dad telling me my grandfather (who's been sick a long time) had finally passed away this last weekend... I can't begin to tell you how awful that made me feel, we hadn't spoken for quite some time due to me not knowing how to talk to him about the fact he'd been angry about not being apparently invited to my wedding and had then said he'd cut me out of his will; I was just so afraid he'd be angry when i called him and i didn't want to deal with that because it would have hurt me since i still love him he's my grandfather i would never do otherwise. Now I can never make it up to him... i was actually going to call him the minute i got back here yesterday which is horribly ironic, and now that's impossible. I just have to hope he knows I loved him always and I'm so sorry things turned out the way they did...

Not to mention these new quakes... goddamnit Mother Nature i know i'm not going to live in Chch forever but you're not giving me the time i need to save up and figure out where I'm going and what I need to do to achieve those things! Sigh...

Anyway that's me for now... sorry if i sounded emo but I'm sick and upset and all over the place and have to go back to work amongst it all so I'm not dealing too well with the stress and lack of energy T^T
Hope everyone else is having a better time of things than me!
