So my weekend has nearly come to an end already. Back to work tomorrow. I'm actually looking forward to it to be honest. I miss my work chums a great deal when I am not there. Is that sad? I don't know.

I didn't do much this weekend... today, the shops were open, as usual leading up to Christmas. In Jersey, nothing is open on a Sunday really. It is nice, so you have to chill out, but kinda dull for me. I don't have any plans for Christmas this year, my friend who came last year is in America now, and my friends here will be with their families. My flat mate seals herself up in her room, and my Dad doesn't do Christmas but is in Cambridge with his girlfriends family, I was invited, but I can't get 1. the time off work, and 2. can't afford the flight. Olie, my brother doesn't do Christmas either, saying it is the busiest time of the year for him, in terms of graffiti. I don't think my Mum's family, that are here in Jersey will even bother to check in on me. I wonder if it would be different if my Mum was alive, but thats not worth thinking about. I don't want to contact them to think I am wangling an invite, I don't think I'd even want to go, but it would be nice to be offered. Sometimes I wonder if something happened to me if they would care at all. I'm not even religious, so it is a bit wasted on me. I like giving gifts and being merry all year round, rather that at the end of the year. Maybe I should make the most of it, before maybe I get snapped up and never have a moment to myself! Haha!

I'm not feeling sorry for myself, but Christmas is always such a draining time of the year for me, and I suspect a lot of other people. Just another reminder of how isolated you might feel, or how broke you are, or unimportant or second or third choice you are to a lot of people. Thank god for the family you chose: your friends. I just wish some of mine weren't so far apart!

was trying to think of presents for my friends... Kali gave me a good idea, to get my friends here manicure vouchers, and to make an invite so that we could all go together... that way I don't have to worry about different things for people and know how much I'll be spending and it'll be something we could all do together maybe. I'm a stickler for presents. Some of my friends were asking me what I wanted.

There is nothing here in Jersey really. I'd really like something along one of the themes of tattoo/Sailor Jerry/kawaii/Russian/fifties but there isn't anything here or anywhere that would sell it. I think the internet is very handy for that atleast... except none of that I could put on my Amazon.co.uk wishlist.

Where has everyone been this weekend? No one has been about and I've needed people to chat too on here! Damn time zone differences!

I dyed my hair this weekend, I seem to forget that when I dye it orangey red/orange, I get real sick of it quick. So, on a whim, and with my Christmas do in mind in a few weeks, I opted for a copy shade that would take the edge of it slightly and maybe go nicely with my purple and black outfit. It is getting SO long now, I'm going to have a little trim and get it shaped up in the week maybe, so that I can grow it a while and it not look so ming so quickly, shape wise. I am hoping to curl it slightly, on my work do. Least, that is the plan.
