So I'm already failing in my aim to update my journal every day. Its not that I don't want to, just that I'm having trouble finding a good time to be online. During the day I'm scared that if I'm using the phone line I might miss a call from someone offering me a job and in the evening my parents are often expecting calls.

Today was one of the dullest days I've had for a while. I got up at 9, had a glass or water and then went back to sleep until about 1pm when my mum returned from shopping. After that I got up, had lunch and phoned the agency about work. They had nothing for me. I don't know why they insist that I call in every day, they were quick enough to call me when they needed me. Any way back to my day. In the afternoon, I scoured yesterday's paper for jobs but there was nothing suitable, then I carried on sorting out a big pile of embroidery silks which were all jumbled up in a plastic bag. It took absoulutely ages to unravel them and match all the pieces which were identical colours. At least its done now though. Yesterday I finished embroidering two little birthday cards. They are 'Country Companions' hedgehogs carrying birthday presents and are dead cute, now I just have to find someone to send them to. Its frustrating that I haven't managed to find suitable designs for Polly and Rob and Emma and Andy's wedding cards yet. Even though they aren't tying the not until August and September respectively I don't want to end up rushing them.

I also watched the BBC kids programme 'Balamory' for the first time today. It was OK but I find all the singing and, bad, dancing a bit annoying in my old age. I think I would've liked it when I was a kid.

Also, I watched 'Hollyoaks' of course. Its essential viewing at the moment. I know that its shallow and unbelievable and that, nearly, all the girls are blond and stick thin but I really like it. Out of all the British soaps currently on TV 'Hollyoaks' is the only one that has grasped the fact that some young people go away to college and want to make something of their lives in oppose to just leaving school and going to work in the same street they grew up in ie. 'Eastenders', 'Corrie' etc. Currently, 'Hollyoaks' is particularly cool because we've just found out that Toby's the guy who has been bumping off girls around the area for the last year. I really need to know what happens next.

I hoped I'd never get hooked on a soap, I've never liked 'Eastenders' and I can dip in and out of 'Neighbours,' but I think I may now be an addict.

Well that's it for today, hopfully more excitment to put in tommorow.

Dreaming about Cardiff Bloke...

I found out about livejournal.com through a bulletin board I visit called Moletalk. A common topic of conversation on said site surrounds what people have been dreaming about. Reading about other's dreams got me thinking about mine.

Last night I had a really odd dream. It involved my friend who I lived with for my whole three years at uni, suddenly turning up back from Australia, where she's been travelling since November, terribly sunburnt and very upset because she'd had to come back because she'd run out of cash and was scared to admit her failure to her family.

Generally though I tend to dream about Cardiff bloke. This has been going on for well over a year now. Explanation is needed at this point I feel. Cardiff bloke is a guy I met when I was doing Rag at Uni. He's five years older than me and was completing his PhD in Chemistry when I first knew him, at the moment he's still living in Cardiff as he has found a job there. Last June, just before I moved home, we kissed and have been 'involved' with one another in a funny kind of way since then. The dreaming thing freaks me out though. I never usually dream about blokes I'm seeing but I dream about Cardiff bloke at least three or four times a week and I've been doing so almost since I met him. Usually the dreams involve us being together and him being really lovely to me in a way that he never would in real life which I guess is wish fulfillment. The whole thing freaks me out in a big way though.
