all made up with nowhere to go

So that order of art stuff? They tried to deliver it on NYE, when I was out of the house. I did not get the delivery slot notification until halfway through the freaking slot.

Then I came home to a "sorry we missed you!" slip that said they'd come back on the 2nd, when I would be working, with no contact details for me to say don't come in the morning, I will not be here!

Which is, of course, what they did.

And the same thing happened with the notification email. I was halfway through my shift when I got it. I decided not to rush home when I'd finished, though, because if they can't be arsed to let me know beforehand when they'll be coming, I literally can't make sure I'm there. They are allegedly coming back today (on their last attempt), but nobody's turned up as yet.

Also my teeth/gums are still hurting, so I'm going to see if I can get an appointment to see my dentist early next week. I don't think anything is seriously wrong, but it's better to check than all my teeth fall out, right? I actually think I may have had a very mild sinus infection in part, so am also going to get that checked out (I didn't have 100% of the symptoms, but a lot of stuff lined up when reading about them).

In happier news, I have been making some books with coloured paper and card to use as sketchbooks! I've watched a few videos about how to do it, and had a go, and it was so easy! (and also the one type of binding I can use to repair old books! *spins*)

I am super excited about this, as I've wanted/tried to make books several times before, but never quite got the hang of it. Now I know what I'm doing, I think things will be better!

Memes:

I'm going to cheat with my first Post Once A Day meme, and post it today, rather than tomorrow, as I'm unlikely to be online tomorrow (because work). I'll continue taking questions until the 15th, if you're interested in asking them

And I'm going to post the video game meme (more on that in a sec) in batches of five questions, as I can't imagine my answers will get too rambly anyway.

Post Once A Day: thenicochan asked: What was the first video game you remember loving?

I'm going to make a list of all the artists I've been watching on youtube, in case anyone is interested. They are all ladies, and most of them are left-handed.

I was going to post about Buffy (I'm two thirds of the way through S2), but this post feels waaaaaay long already. next time!

Two quick things about Silent Hill 2:

1. I understand James Sunderland a lot more than I'd like to, thanks to circumstances in my own life. Not that he's impossible to understand, but I know I had him wrong when I was first finding out about SH2.

2. I don't understand why Maria gets so pissed off at James in Brookhaven Hospital. It's pretty obvious that, while he cares for the wellbeing of everyone he meets, he's got one person on his mind, and it isn't her.

3. I really don't like Maria. But I don't think that I'm supposed to.

Damn you, tumblr, for feeding my crush on James Sunderland. (In particular, in this entry).

Healthy shit is not healthy, you know. (Although it does occur to me that maybe I just like fucked up guys who potentially don't know their left from their right and have the ability to look incredibly emo. WHO KNOWS?)

(On the other hand, the fandom in general can keep feeding me how awesome Harry Mason is, because he is. And you know it).
