Creative year ahead, I hope

[fluffymark]

Belated new year fishies to everyone, and I hope it has been a happy one for all. *wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee*

Looking back, 2004 was a very good year, for once. I did lots of new and exciting things, made some very good new friends (libellum and karen2205 spring to mind, but there are many more). Older friendships, particularly arkady, mirabehn, evil_nick and the_lady_lily, and others have blossomed into wonderful things. And, of course, I met, seduced and fell in love with the pretty cassielalone, and I am most happy because of that. *naughtysmile*

I stalked daevas and her band RazorBladeKisses around the country which was a feat of extreme fangirliness. I attended a most lovely Folk Festival at Trowbridge, where I finally saw the Levellers play. I travelled to many cities around Europe, namely Bruges, Ghent, Tampere, St Petersburg, Tallinn, Helsinki, Amsterdam, Warsaw, Krakow and Moscow. *happybounces*

Not saying it was all happy roses, and there were some deeply bad bits, but nothing heavy, nothing that mattered. *sigh*

I want to be more creative in 2005. I want to draw. I want to spend lots of quality time with cassielalone (you can tell I’ve not seen her for over 3 weeks....). I want to do more me things. Time also to relax - I spend most of my time at work being actively creative, so by evening time I’m drained and uninspired without a rest. Time to enjoy the small things in life, the scenery, notice little things around me that make me smile. And somehow I’m going to have to make time, as I don’t have any more time. So, aside from inventing a time machine, I’m going to have to control my rampant social life. Which means sadly saying NO to going out a lot more. I’ve already cut down a lot - I’ve not been to Asylum in ages, and B-Movie has been skipped on many an occasion, and Electric Dreams is no more. But I’m going to have to cut out a whole lot more. But where to start? Should I only go to larger gatherings (parties, clubs) where I can see lots of my friends, or smaller gatherings (cafe meetings, dinner invites) where I’ll just meet a few, but more intimately? Wah! Is most distressing. I really don’t know what is going to have to give, but it’s going to be painful. *sobs*

Jellyfish is down. *sob* I knew that power cable would get tripped over, and bang.....down goes my poor helpless webserver. And she’s not coming back up, which is a pain as it’s headless. Which means lugging her into my room for some surgery. *wailingnoises*

Yay!

That sounds like a good plan. So far I've totally failed to put it in action and have been out almost every evening so far this year *sigh*.

You are in lots of luck with regards Thursday - I'm already meeting a few friends in Camden in the Dev at about 7pm, and it's likely I can pursaude them to relocate to the Purple Turtle at some point after a pint or so. No promises, but it sounds very convenient. What time are you likely to be actually playing? Just so we don't arrive too late or something stupid!

Ah, that's the thing. Our set is going to be around 9:30, but it depends on how the place fills up.
It would be nice to see you, but I fully understand that the Dev is a very tempting place to be between 7pm and 11pm!!

OK, we're on 9:15-9:50, I've just received the info. I'll probably toddle up to the Dev about 7ish and hand around some flyers, or one of us will (I may be in hiding as the onstage outfit needs a big entrance!) The flyers get you in for £5, £6 normally. But you do get a rather cool sampler CD on arrival. (PLUG PLUG PLUG!!!)

Additionally, can I say how happy I am that you and cassielalone are so happy together - you're both so lovely and so alone at times, that you deserved to find each other and bounce together.
