Stephen King.

So, since I'm writing a novel at the moment, (it could be crap, I don't know yet xD) I did some research on Mr King, who is my favourite author of all time.

 It turns out that he's done the same thing that I'm doing which is create an imaginary location for his novels that is close to where he grew up! I thought I was being a bit unimaginative doing that but I suppose it makes for a more realistic setting if you know the area well.

His has worked out really well for him, Castle Rock is very famous now and many people name their places Castle Rock as a nod towards his work. A lot of his books are in or around CR and he mentions it often in them. Very clever!

There's a sentence in Tommyknockers that I found amusing: "she wrote good old western stories that you could really sink your teeth into, not all full of make-believe monsters and a bunch of dirty words, like the ones that fellow who lived up in Bangor wrote." 

Which is an easter egg, that man in Bangor is Stephen King :D that amused me :)

Neck pain leaving.

So I've had a week without the dreaded neck pain that's been depressing me for the past year. So I think it's finally decided to bugger off.

It coincides with the fact that Ben bought me a new computer chair, a more posture friendly one. Mine was over 7 years old and it was way too small. I had to look UP to the screen and apparently that's really bad for your neck. It shortened the muscles in my neck so that I couldn't look down or left or right without severe pain, and with me doing a lot of writing lately, I've been sat at the PC for long periods of time.

Hopefully it'll continue to get better and the muscles will stretch out more because I got so tired of being on pain-killers like co-dydramol. They work but they make you so fuzzy that you can't move. Apparently they're really addictive too, I haven't found that, but that's most likely because I'm too nervous about being a drug addict to actually ever be one. Anxiety is good for something I guess xD

So now I get back to writing my novel without worrying about pain. Good job too because it's close to be complete :D

Purple Hair.

I have purple hair now. Got tired of the blonde...and the burned scalp. 

Can't see it well here but this may be the last sunshine of the year xD

Thought I'd update my hair colour, got tired of being a bleach blonde, it didn't really suit me. Nice for summer though, but alas, I am a dark girl at heart. (Don't know how bleach blondes manage to keep the skin on their scalp though! XD)

My fall into a life of crime...

Or something like that.

I ordered some Plaster Of Paris the other day so I can make some moulds of my Skyrim Logo, made from clay.

It arrived this morning in a huge baggy and the postman told me that it had actually been delivered the day before but the post woman popped the bag and thought it was cocaine. So it had to go back to the Drugs Unit to be tested.

So it seems I order my crack from eBay. Now I'm going to sent AK47s to Cuba via Amazon.co.uk, see how that works out xD

Birthday!

It was my birthday on Wednesday and it was pretty good.

Saw all the family and they gave me some awesome presents.

Ben got me a hairdryer, computer chair, Dead Island: Game Of The Year ED and Operation Raccoon City.

Got quite a lot of cash from my family.

My dad bought me an amber necklace, posh choccies and a really awesome quill and ink:

Beautiful :D

My sister bought me a beer hat, with those pipes in the side to drink out of beer cans, it's pretty cool xD

and some more bath stuff/perfumes etc. So I'm pretty happy.

Learning how to write calligraphy now for my new pen, it's really beautiful.

And Dead Island is so good, I absolutely love that game xD
