Conversations with my family.
Little Sister: ... Some weird plasticine people.
Dad: Morph?
LS: No...
Me: I remember Swan Princess 2 or 3, and Brave Little Toaster.
LS/Older Sister: Yes!
Dad: I remember watching A Bug's Life.
Everyone else: Ohh yeah...
Me: Are you sure it wasn't Ants? Because I always used to get that confused with A Bug's Life.
Dad: Oh, it might have been. What's the difference?
OS: Ants were red and Bug's Life were blue.
Brother: Ants fought grasshoppers and Bug's Life fought... someone else?
Me: Bug's Life were all different things, but Ants were ants.
...
Brother: What was that other one that had the insect bug things with wings and the baddies had cronies-
Me/OS: INSEKTORS!
- - - - -
LS: We were talking about which Disney films have the best songs.
Dad (instantly): Little Mermaid!
LS: No! Our top three were Mulan, Tarzan-
OS/Me: No! What are you on about?
OS: Lion King, Aladdin, Little Mermaid.
Me: Pocahontas!

LS [cutting cake]: What am I cutting it into? Six?
Dad: Cut it into eight because there are eight flowers, and then I can have three pieces!
LS: Oh, these pieces are really big and these two are going to be smaller.
Me: Big one's mine!
Brother: I'll have a big one.

Most pressing question in my life at the moment: “Where the hell are all my knickers?”.
Unrelated question of the day: On a scale of 0 to Going Commando, how many pairs of knickers am I wearing?

Re: Orthodontist.
My teeth have collapsed in a bit on one side, but obviously nowhere near as bad as it was pre-braces; my Maryland bridge has de-bonded on one side so I’ll probably have to get that fixed, or get a new one fitted; I’ll have to get a crown on my broken tooth when I’ve stopped growing (it’s not a big deal; it’s been like that for all my life); but the main thing I went...

I have an appointment with the orthodontist tomorrow. It’s my first orthodontic appointment in almost six years and I am really, really dreading it.
I’m going because my jaw is a pain in the arse and I don’t want to have to deal with it for the rest of my life; I think it’s getting worse, but even if it’s not currently, it will and it will cause me problems and...

Meet the Robinsons/Bolt.
Watched both these films in the last couple of days and I put them together because my thoughts on each are pretty much the same. Good film, funny in a couple of parts, entertaining enough to have not been a waste of time, but not much more than that. I’d have been very disappointed if I’d paid to see them in a cinema and I wouldn’t really choose to watch them again, but they...

Just spent £22 (technically, £7 because I had a voucher) on eyelash paraphernalia. Do not regret. If I’m going to be poor and almost-unemployed and motivation-less and a waste of space, I’m going to do it looking GOOD.

Being sent home from work when you are REALLY NOT ILL I SWEAR sucks :( I feel really bad. “Oh, no, no sickness, no problems, nothing” and on my first day I almost pass out because I gave blood the day before, and today I almost passed out for no reason whatsoever.
STOP IT, JULIET. FAINTING IS NOT OK.

Been having horrible anxiety-laden dreams lately — one in which I found out I was pregnant, and then my mum found out, and another in which my teeth were falling out. I’ve had the latter dream quite a lot and it’s always fucking horrid :(

It's Not All Gloom and Doom of the Day:
My sister’s dog had to have eye surgery again — for the fourth time. The vet was fed up of the dog being in pain (obviously this is nothing to do with my sister; the dog just has bad eyes and she’s done everything she can), but the insurance wouldn’t cover a fourth operation and there’s no way my sister would’ve been able to afford the ~£2000 to pay for it...

Today’s been a really good day. I finally booked a haircut (Wednesday, 10.30, I will be there, Craig!); my new phone arrived (ahh, Nokia, why would I ever choose anything else? Don’t know what I was thinking); Mumma signed me up to a one day Stunning Afternoon Teas course at Denman College (which I told her not to do because it’s expensive, but she did it anyway; maybe she...
Good things about impending birthday:
Cake! Cake and presents! Cake!
It’s a leapyear, so I get to feel extra special on my special day.
I get things that I haven’t had to buy.
The next day is March, which means Spring, which means warmer weather and sun and flowers and joyyyyyy.
