So, come back from my hols feeling good an looking forward to the year. Yep thats right,I've gotten round to posting on this thing and am in a good mood. Yay.
Mixed about work as, as you will of heard, price cuts have been anouced and I'm sure to have people calling in to complain that it should be lower.
I have put in for a comission from Evee3, who I will be proding occasionally about this. I have been told I may have a bit of a wait as shes still working on bungles. Im sure he'd understand if you left his for a year or so an did mine first :)
I enjoyed recon dispite being slightly claustophobic and no one I knew was there. I will however say Goastbusters Manga, set after the two movies for the win.
Speaking of manga, my collection is sizeable, just need to remmber to order correct issues to get up to date.
Been doing more sketches and been playing with fine liners. With a bit more practise I may progress to inking my drawing.
So, all in all, not too bad a start. Now I just need to book my next holiday so I can recover from going back to work. |

Been a while since I last posted (shock horror) so I thought I drop a couple of things onto this melting pot of ooze that is called LJ.
I am finding that conversations I have about various topics are being repeated by others, even if I am not part of the conversation. Even worse, I find myself listening to a conversation I have had with someone between to other people. Random...
I have a reason to upgrade my chipset in my PC, it is called warhammer online. For all those who start to say "oh, warhammer, just annother WOW clone!" I will point out that WOW ripped everquest and warhammer for interface and "The entire frekin history". In a brief read of the history of WOW I could quite happily replace WOW names for warhammer ones. Secondly, it does all that WOW does and lets you PvP and PvE with ease. Plus I have big guns, artillary and air strikes because I'm a dwarf engineer. Eat spanner.
Work seems to be flopping on either side of good and bad. Im applying for some other jobs so I will see how things go in the grand scheme of things.
Art wise, and writing, need to do some....
House wise, aside from wanting to beat all my housemates sensless on the odd occasion, things are starting to get alot more settled. I just need to keep reminding everyone that my patance for pointless drama and petty grief has an end and that if I start snapping its because I'm evil. I also know where all the knifes are...
I'm getting old...
Finally, on a lighter note, I'm enjoying my current relationship more, although time and curcumstance means little contact.
Makes you wonder where your journey will take you tomorrow... |

I generally don't vent on LJ.
Granted I sometime use it to put forward an opinion or statement or something, safe in the knoweledge that no one cares or reads my stuff.
However, this is a general pissed off rant of someone who has had several lines crossed and has, as yet, made his point accross to the people involved.
Firstly:- I am generally a peacful person who will lark about with most people. I do have some boundry issues, mainly being that only those who I know or trust are allowed to really get psychically close. However, I do not genraly like having things thrown in my face, which occured at the BBQ in jest. I voiced my opinion that I would not be too agressive towards the individual as he was a guest and I was playing host(chief) kinda thing but I feel it my be nice to at least write this down so in case of future maimings people know why.
Second:- Annother event occured where people/person was egged on to do something daft whilst someone else was larking about. During the fact it was a laugh, athough could be considered foolish at best. Nuff said, fun had by all. Needless to say one party complained about said issue to a third who promptly told the first party which promply created *&^*^%%^ drama. This was then laid out to me and I resisted the urge to point out the sheer hypocrasy of his statements and the fact that by mearly doing this will not solve the problem. EVER. I have learnt that communication between people is the best thing possible, and if you don't understand ask and if someone doesn't understand explain. Do not, in any way, interpret to your own opinions or infulance said event with your own bias. If you think they need to explain there actions the words are "Go talk to whomever".
The above seems to be an issue with most people and I do, probably because I have nice and understanding written on my forhead, get told this rubbish. My options are to nod, express an opion of agree, disagree or as soon will be the case "stop causing this stupid piss shit pettyness to occur or I will rip your head from your neck and........".
Please note: The above is me very narked over this issue and if you wish to discuss sensibly you can, purely to calm me down it seems.
Lastly:- Opinions (I know I should put this under a cut, but hey, I dont know how).
Please, if you have an opinion please allow me to put my case for or against it. Do not shout me down or try to argue the toss that you are right baised on your opinion. If you cannot back your arguement then just accept it, if you are unwilling to accept another opinion then, please, don't state yours as you do not get the right to. I base this on the fact that as a beliver in God, I have something that I have to argue the toss over. I have to think about my own reasons behind this and be able to accept others arguements and opinions. This also relates to other topics, so if you can't bring a logical arguement or accept mine, then don't.
End of rant....
PS. If anyone finds offense or disagrees with this then please say so. I will happily discuss my statements with you, before crushing you under the heel of my sheer anger. Then I will have ice cream and go merrily skip away. |

I had the disiplinary interview and came out with a verbal warning for not following working practicises. Not that bad, but it does mean I need to rework my work ethic alot so I don't end up with another.
With that out of the way I feel a lot more positive and I think with a bit more planning and stuff I can enjoy work and home without too much stress.
I currently have guild wars as a MMORPG stop gap until Warhammer online comes out and a shed load of TV serials to watch.
Also need to pencil in some time for my arts whilst Fur Affinity is lost to the void.
Lastly, planning a damm good clean out and tidy up of my room/house. Skip style.
That should give me a nice refeshing change.
In other news: Fish. |

Kinda in a naff mood due to work. After reviewing my calls over a period of time my manager is inviting me to a disiplinary meeting.
Ah,
This kinda stuff makes me question my own ability to work and rise to the challange of dealing with anything. Plus the fact that a quarter of my team is already looking at leaving.
If you feel undervalued and put upon, call 0800-PASS THE SHOTGUN.
Ps I have no shotgun. |

So, been kinda lax on LJ due to discovering a new toy on facebook. Someone has done a heros app on there, and its more addictive than WOW.
Thats right, you heard me.
If you have a facebook acct, find the heros app and jump on in, belive me its great fun and really easy to use. Also I'm on there in my everyday normal form Peter Woodbury, so you can add me as a friend there and get poked sheeped and varios other silly things.
Moving on from heros, I am finding a never ending amount of TV series to download and watch. So far I'm trying to complete the Pretender series, McGyver and the occational episode of Farscape with bungle. I'm also watching the Sara Conner cronicals which is awsome. Finally they are playing with the timetravel aspect. Plus summer glou is cool.
I've also got pushind dasies, battlestar, dead like me, bleach, ad infinitum.
Glad I've got some days off now. |

So, you don't know jack. Much lack of sleep and quick fire roundness. Plus sheer amusement at the questions, which are filled with classic wit.
Yet I witter on...
Things are good in my little universe. Work is changing my job foucus, so now I'll be able to sort problems and be a bit more pro-active, rather than trying to sell gas and elec to lawers and financal people. Far too many people are beliving what is printed in the press for me to care to argue, especially when they don't listen.
My relationship side is going well, as I'm currently carefully building up a relationship with my ex. Before all the posts (or not) about how thats a bad idea, rest assured I'm aware of the difficuilties of this. However, I've gone back into this relationship with my eyes open, and more communication.
Something that I will say I lack with most people anyway. I generally don't let people see who I really am, and usually contradict myself anyway.
Finnally, my gaming, which has taken a few blows, has come back to the fore a bit. I'm hoping to get my carding back into the swing of things as well.
Anyway, am full of food and drink so I will now lay down and digest. |

[Feb. 12th, 2008|10:28 am] |
Well its been a while (3weeks my lj tells me) since I last posted, so I feel a bout of randomness comming on.
Life moves on as do the stresses an strains. Work seems to be very much the focus for many, including myself. However, its best to take it on the chin, then overcome any problems.
Home life seems to be more of a variable at the moment. Sometimes I wonder if it is just me being petty, or the situations that arise being annoyingly petty. Hmmm.
My hobbies seem to be lacking at the moment, drawing and writing especially. Have to try and make an effort there, yet my other hobbies (gaming) have also taken a hit with the simple lack of other people to participate with.
My love life is better, and I'm looking forward to V day. The future will always be uncertain, but so long as I have the couple of people who I have connections with I'll be happy.
Now all I need to do is get my savings up to £1000 so I can get my fur suit. |

My birthdays comming up, along with arikin. My weekend has been planned and quite full, to top off a full and plesant few days.
On the down side, had my bike stolen from a secure parking lot when it had been locked up, Gah.
Failed to get some time off in feb, Gah.
Been a bit rubbish at work, double gah.
However, some time off has helped clear my head, and I'm prepared to get my head down. So I lost/had nicked my bike, I'll get a new one. So I failed to get time off, learn to book well in advance.
Fortunatly I have some good friends and entertaining hobbies that I use to sort myself out.
So, all in all, a better start to this year than last. *Crosses fingers* |

Happy birthday to orona, hope you have a good day.
Hello to all those how friended me, please bear with my ramblings. One day I might get to the point.
For all those who are out to lose weight (you know who you are) we are all with you. Having started on a keep fit/lose weight regiem myself I can tell you that its easier with friends.
As is going to the gym...
Work is looking good, as is personal life.
Now all I need to do is crowbar some time for my hobbies, I vote for an eight day in the week. Whos with me? |

| The new year |
[Jan. 3rd, 2008|06:23 am] |
Well, its time for me to have a look at the new year.
First off, I have picked up something thats making me cough wheeze and generaly feel bad, and I don't mean bungle. Again I have the flu/cold, although this time I can't really skip work because of it. Ah, well...
Plans for my year include going to the gym more regularly, possibly with bungle, a bit of cardio and weight lifting will do me good. As would going to the gym... :)
I need to write and draw more regularly, an easy win by putting a day to one side.
Cut back on sugar...
Cut back of bad food, blah blah blah.
Get my contract at work and become a trainer, rather than a CSA.
Lastly, look at my love life.
This has kind of been rather crap over the last year, however, it has come to light that I have feelings for a couple of someones, one of whom has made it obvious that they like me too. However, its a new year, and I really dont know where I'll be in two to three months time.
But things are looking up. :)
Apols for the long post, one day I'll actually learn how to use this new fangeled tech.
Or spell. |

So, continuing on from my good mon, I rolled into southampton station to the tune of "we are sorry this train is delayed..." Hmm, good start to my day.
Had a blast in bristol, then wash rinse and repeat on the way back.
Should of headed to a friends bday party then off to works bash, but the train had draind all my enthusiasum. Instead I rolled home, had a quick chat with bungle and shot off to see a friend and crash. I even got some xmas shopping and cards sorted.
With three working days before my xmas, Im a bit more chipper, and will be beating jowgenetsu in the head repeatedly for fun.
This is because I'm evil...

OK, things have been going quite well for me of late. Am hitting targets at work, enjoyed the hansfurs meal and work meal, socialised quite well and even feel good about myself.
Am popping off to bristol today to see a friend, with a packed day to follow. Then on wed doing some xmas shopping and relaxing around a friends.
That aside, am still single. Although I have come to the conclustion that I complicate things more than enough to compensate. Why do I always put myself in the awkward posistion...
Meh...

[Dec. 11th, 2007|06:56 am] |
So, monday was fun...
Woke up at one in the morning with major flu symptons so couldn't get any sleep. Had to cll into work, who went could I come in and do off the phone work etc etc. Got some max strength flu stuff and dosed myself up.
I then slept...
I was woken up about 12:30 by Kyy who jumped at my poster, had a shower to clear my head then laid down...
Woke up before 5, saw no point in trying to go to work. Spent some time preparing for the evening show. Finished my day feeling slightl sick in the stomach.
Anyway, should have a good couple of days off now that I don't feel like rubbish...
