October

4 days late. Not as bad as last month and I have been focusing on a few other things like writing and work (have I mentioned work? This feels like the first time, I definitely haven't been tweeting a load of self-inflated crap about having a job, right?!*). Now's the time for me to sit down and write a brief blog post about what my September was like. Ready? Here goes.

*cough*

Yeah, that's pretty much that. I didn't do anything that'd interest you and everything I'm about to talk about will do nothing but use up a few minutes of your life reading it. My car had an MOT service and my sunroof is buggered. Also too expensive to repair, so one of the best things about my car is now fucked. Shame, it really came in handy. A lot easier to use than the roll-up windows. Clock is also knackered, so I have to use my watch whilst driving which means I can only check the time if I'm doing a hard steer to the left. As you can tell, it's hard being me. Not as hard as being a 16 year old American girl though, I hear they have it tougher than starving Ethiopians.
At least the iPod cable works and my iPod stand hasn't broken yet. Still sucks that I can't get the random picture of an Asian woman from behind a plastic case out without fear of snapping the stand in two like an enraged cartoon supervillain. Can't even begin to imagine what the MOT bloke thought of me when he saw that. The other addition my car has is an official Iron Maiden tax disc holder, not just a regular holder that I wrote "IRON MAIDEN ROOLZ!!!" on. Proper merch for the fan who wants to spend money on band products but can't fit into any of the clothes available from the website.
I was toying with the idea of getting a logo or design painted on the hood when I have a shitload of cash as a result of selling my toes to science/Morrisons Deli counter or something. I mentioned the name "Metallicar" on Twitter but a) my car is nowhere near as awesome as the Metallicar from 'Supernatural' and b) I thought of a better idea. You know how some 80s cars have an eagle or a falcon or some epic bird painted on the hood? Well, going with the whole Metal fan image, I think getting The Hellion from the Judas Priest album 'Screaming For Vengeance' on the hood might be as badass as I can get on a blue Rover.

Oh, also something to show I'm a fan of 'The Prisoner'. Maybe a small painting of the bubble sentry, also named Rover, somewhere. These are just (expensive) ideas for now but who knows, maybe one day they'll actually happen. Not in the foreseeable future, though. Speaking of the future, I intend to do a few blog posts about GH DLC (see last post if you could give a single particle of shit about the series and what I'd do with it if I could) starting next Tuesday. I also plan on writing about my thoughts for the last Series of 'Doctor Who', so episodes "The Impossible Astronaut" to "The Wedding Of River Song".
Other than that, I doubt I'll be on here much. Same old song and dance from now on, but I'm always on Twitter. Until the above mentioned posts and the monthly summary in November, I'll be seeing you...shit, forgot Skype. I'm also on Skype. Same username, feel free to add me if you have the time. Yeah, sorry. Be seeing you.


* OK, I admit a large part of me feels smug about having a job, let alone one I'm not only great at but also very happy with. However, this is one of the few things I can be proud of as a teenager in worrying financial times. All these TV shows and news reports keep going on about how tough it is for teens to find work. Bollocks, I've had 3 jobs in the year I've been out of school. They're easy to find. Hard to keep but maybe that's just me.
