Engine bits
21 Dec 2005 07:00 pmas in car engine.
So H managed to put the new engine into Teh Big Green Skip a couple of days ago but it being newer than the car (not hard) we needed a new starter motor. So ordered one yesterday and - get this - they had to MAKE IT - omgwtf!
It arrived at the shop today but Paul - in a moment of non-brain-worky looks at the old one, looks at the new one, went "oh they're different" and sent it back.
*headdesks*
Soooooooo it gets back in eventually. H will fit tomorrow, it being dark right and hopefully... hopefully... it'll work and we can get some sodding shopping done. Would be nice to eat on Christmas Day. Right now I don't even care if it's sausage and chips. *sighs*
Watching Cinderella on ITV2 and got the following words of wisdom from Harry Hill - "You can tell a lot about someone's personality by what they're like."
Indeed.

Dear Mr Hewlett, I need your IM details. I need to IM someone who's [roughly] my age and therefore seen the same things I have.
Yours stressedly, Helen.
Edit: actually, s'okay. Apparently there are people in this world who have seen stuff.
None of them are Stacey though. lmao

Elizabeth is Dorothy. John is the Scarecrow.And Rodney's the Lion *snerk*

My books have come! My books have come! My books have come! My books have come!
*bounces*
*reads*
Oh my but Adam writes complicated stuff *boggles*
Um. Still, gotta learn to walk before I can run. So back to basics. Hopefully... hopefully I'll be getting a keyboard soonish. Cos I can;t really do owt til then.
But books!

I have to say a really, really big thank you to everyone who responded to my last post. I can't begin to explain how much it means to me. I don't open to much - there are people who've met me in real life that know I'm shy around people.
The comments have made me cry because I'm not used to having people who just like me for me. Usually people become my "friends" because I can do something for them. This has been my experience since secondary school and ever since.
So yes, I'm extremely grateful to those who would stand by me in a dark patch - and it IS only a patch - and I hope I will be as good a friend if you hit a patch.
Much love.

Just a lil stressed
16 Dec 2005 12:36 pmI had a panic attack last night, the first in 8 years. That's not good - I really don't want to go back to the way I was then. I guess alarm bells should have rung when I was scratching my arms with the kitchen scissors cos they were the sharpest thing I could find. *sighs*
The thing with scratching is that, unlike cutting, the marks fade overnight. I wouldn't cut because people would notice - scratches can be hidden. Or explained away if they're seen. It's usually my house keys. I tend to dig them into my palms. Again, hidden.
And the weird thing is, today I feel fine. My mood is really swinging and I'm not sure if it's hormones or tiredness or what. Yesterday I took the kids into Manchester because I couldn't stand being in the house but halfway there the adrenaline rush ran out and I crashed.
And yet, despite being utterly exhausted, I still didn't sleep much last night.
I just don't know anymore. Anything.
