it's hard to bardle nawdle zouss with all these marbles in my mouth

Wondering about whether to avoid potentially triggering situation, at the risk of upsetting a friend. ARGH.

I don't even feel I can send her a message explaining why I can't go, because she said she wanted me to be there, and it will upset her (but I figure it will upset her more if I didn't send a message/turn up at all.

I really wish this sort of stuff didn't happen. I wish sometimes that I could just be "normal" - whatever the hell that is - and I could shrug this off, and be like, yeah I can deal with/do this.

After getting details, it's not as bad as I thought it might be, but I'm still wary. Anyway, I only have to go to her house, and it's only five minutes' walk away, and I can leave if I get super uncomfortable, right?

Getting ME3 for Xmas off my mum! \o/

(She thought I'd said it was £30 when I'd said 20. I don't even).

I finally bought myself a new alarm clock. I bust the last one because I kept tripping over the power lead and smashing it on the floor. You know something's wrong when it's telling you the time is 13:7E most of the time.

The one I got is cost a little bit more than I wanted to pay for one, but it's got digital radio, and that means I can finally listen to the radio again! (My analogue reception sucks ass, since I live in a valley, plus there aren't that many FM stations I want to listen to any more).

Basically, it means I can listen to Absolute 90s all the time *g* Thought I will have to actually get the hang of setting the alarm, since I got it wrong last night, and overslept by an hour and a half. Good job I work from home and for myself still!
