Oh frabjous day!

[neverwhere]

I have a job!!!

Finally, after four long months of tedious searching and humilating rejections, someone has noticed how desirable I am and hired me at last! HUZZAH!
Yes, I am exceedingly happy. Even if it is only a minimum wage job in a video shop. But at least I get three free rentals a week, and an actual paycheck. For now, that's good enough for me. *grins*


In other news, I went to the corporate goth-punk shops HotTopic and Torrid and found some really fun things, like a shirt with the 'I have fought my way here to the Castle beyond the Goblin City...' poem from Labyrinth on it, some birthday goodies for various friends, and a Care Bears air freshener for my car. And I even found an adorable Bright Heart Raccoon plushie for my dashboard, which made me exceedingly happy. I was never really a big Care Bears fan, but I love the Care Bear Cousins, especially that clever, purple, 'walking encyclopaedia' Bright Heart Raccoon. He was just like me! As a raccoon of course.
(Hey ashfae -- when Kamala and I were little we used to play Care Bears, and I was always Bright Heart, and she was Swift Heart Rabbit. We'd dance around singing the 'Forest of Feelings' song and pretend to save the day. Cute, neh? ;-)


I know I want to go back to England for a visit before the year ends, but I don't know when to go -- Neil Gaiman is doing another reading/Q&A at Foyles in November, but Billy Boyd's and Ian McKellen's plays aren't opening until December. Plus it would be easier, I suppose, to visit people around the Christmas holidays, but it would also be more expensive to travel then too. Arrrghh. I really must decide soon, before the prices rise to high. But it's so difficult! I suppose it really doesn't matter, as long as I just go. And go I shall! Oh yes, it shall be done. :)

Labyrinth was the first live action movie I obsessed over. The t-shirt sounds v. cool.
