Did you miss me? :)

neverwhereGreetings and salutations my beloved horde of adoring minions! After a two week absence, your darling Nevvie has returned. You may now rejoice and sing my praises with hymns worshiping my name. Or at least, y'know, say welcome back. And stuff. *grins impishly*
We have a new manager at work, huzzah! The obnoxious twat who never gave me hours and the bitchqueen who tormented me are gone, replaced by a very nice new store director and three employees from his previous store. I already like him exceedingly, because he has given me a ton of hours, which is why I have not been online recently. I've been working 10-12 hour shifts, and have just been too tired to read LJ when I come home. I'm actually on the schedule for the first time in months next week, and for 30 hours too, which after about so long with only getting 5-10 if I was lucky makes me a very happy Nevvie. I was starting to get extremely depressed about my lack of job and general uselessness, so this welcome change hasn't come a moment too soon. I still wish I was actually using some of my creative talent on stage or summat instead, but for now this is as good as I'm likely to get, so I may as well enjoy it. :)
I'm beginning to angst about my outfit for the Oscar party -- my fitting is next week, and it should be ready by the 20th, but I fear I chose the wrong thing, and that I will regret my decision to go in costume and be nervous and unhappy at the party. Am rather anxious about the party anyway, as I seem to be the only one not going in a large group, and will therefore spend what should be one of the most exciting nights of my life miserable and alone. If only some nice hobbit boy would find me and spend the night with me! Not in that way of course. Well, maybe. Heh. ;-) I know, I know, am being a whingy brat who is not appreciating her good fortune etc etc. I know. I can't help it! Social Anxiety Disorder is not a fun thing. But I try to ignore it as much as possible, honestly I do. Anyway. What was the point of this paragraph? I forget now. *grins sheepishly*
Please help -- do I go to the Doctor Who convention tomorrow, and spend thirty dollars I don't have to see Paul McGann, Sylvester McCoy and Susannah Harker (Jane from Pride and Prejudice)? All signs point to 'yes', but my bank account is screaming 'no'. *laughs*
To everyone who replied to my last post, THANK YOU. I've been reading your responses every few days, to remind me how lucky I am to have such wonderful, compassionate friends. You are all incredible, and I am so thankful to have you in my life. :)
Lalalala. I think I shall go watch Labyrinth now, because even though I played it three times at work this week, it's still not enough. *wanders off singing* 'What kind of magick spell to use...'

Date: 2004-02-13 11:06 pm (UTC)I cannot wait to see you in costume and you will not be alone, as long as you accept that our group is comprised of slashers, lol.
Please help -- do I go to the Doctor Who convention tomorrow, and spend thirty dollars I don't have to see Paul McGann, Sylvester McCoy and Susannah Harker (Jane from Pride and Prejudice)? All signs point to 'yes', but my bank account is screaming 'no'. *laughs* - don't you recall that at C3 in May 03, Paul was charging £20 when everyone else was charging £15 and he had hardly anyone queuing and we all sniggered a bit? Still, if you are desperate to see him and if I recall Sylvester was at C3 too and had hardly anyone queing either, then it's your call and your dosh. So far, no hobbits at C5, Nevvie, grrrrr... Oh, and Nevvie - at some point email me your new cellphone number in readiness for TORN. Love you very much, and great news about the job :) x
Re:
Date: 2004-02-13 11:14 pm (UTC)If the hobbits were at C5 everything would be so good for me, as I defintely can't go to the London ComicCon, as it's just a week after the Oscar Party and there's no way I can take two weeks off work. BOO.
I'll email my mobile right now. EEEEEEEEEEEEEE you're coming! I GET MY TRINNY BACK! For a few days anyway. *happydance!*
I don't think your slasher friends will accept me though, as they've known each other for yonks, and I'm just some hobbit wench. But at least I have YOUR love, which is all I need, really. Because I love you so veryvery much. Yes I do! *snogalicious glompage* :D

Wait... if you're broke.... you can't get me shit. I am selfish. :( Sorry.
I say go and have fun and tell me all about it later. ;)
Re:
Date: 2004-02-14 12:00 am (UTC)And of course I shall tell all about it. Because I am a comment whore and need copious amounts of worship and envy. *smirks* ;-)

Date: 2004-02-13 11:21 pm (UTC)Yay! It is good to have regular Nevviedoses.
Huzzah for job happiness.
Go to the convention! Paul McGann, dammit!
And, hooray, Labyrinth. You can never see it too often.
Re:
Date: 2004-02-13 11:57 pm (UTC)>It is good to have regular Nevviedoses.
If I came in capsule form I'd be so rich. *laughs*
It's Paul's first US appearance, so I think I shall have to go simply for the historicness of the occasion. Yes. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it. ;-)
Re:

Re:
Date: 2004-02-14 12:15 am (UTC)Hey, also go see Paul for the hotness. Though he'll never be as cute as he was in Withnail and I.
Re:
Date: 2004-02-14 12:17 am (UTC)It's the floopy hair. Men with floopy hair are insatiably adorable. *nods knowingly*

Date: 2004-02-13 11:22 pm (UTC)I say, go to the convention, seeing as now you have a decent boss she'll OBVIOUSLY recognise your brilliance for what it is and give you a pay rise. Duh ;)
Re:

Let's hope he does! I certainly deserve it. And yes, I believe I shall treat myself to a con. Whooot!

Great to see you again, Nevvie-love *twirls* And good for you if you do end up going to Gallifrey- you'll get my undying envy as well as love ;)

I shall have to get a detailed report thingy then!
Suze was also in the brilliant House of Cards miniseries, which if you haven't seen it, you really should as it's devastingly clever and sinister. Mmmm. The interview with her is scheduled at the same time as something else I really want to see (of course), so I'll have to try and finangle my way into both. And hopefully I'll get a picture of us together! And of Paul. MMMMMMMMMMMMM Paul. *lusts* ;-)
You could say but I couldn't possibly comment
Date: 2004-02-14 01:05 am (UTC)I'm so jealous that you're going to see McGann. I know he was at the big UK Dr. Who convention (blanking on the name now but it was in October). There's rumours he *might* be making it to one I can get to later on in the year but I can say no more about that.
My friend

Um, otherwise, all I have to say is yay for the demise of evil bitches, yay for seeing Paul mcGann (hell yeah you should see him, he is cute and all cool and stuff! and historic!) and grrr to anxiety disorders full stop. Gah, damn and blast to 'em - you will have lovely people who will help make sure you have the best time ever, oh yes. Even if I die of jealousy and wish you could come to London and stuffness, you will have a good time. *nods*
*huggles and squees a bit more*
Re:
Date: 2004-02-14 08:25 am (UTC)*laughs*
Thank you for the fabulous welcome dearest Katie! *pouncetacklesmoooch*
I will come to London. Honestly I will. Soon. Absolutely. I have money saved and half a ticket that needs to be used (or at least redeemed and used for a later flight) before the end of may. I WILL RETURN. :)

Date: 2004-02-14 01:12 am (UTC)Umm. Yeah. [/randomness] *g*

Re:

Anyway......Yeah. Um. *slips away*

You like that movie too? I think i've just found another person I need to get to know MUCH more :D (im normal..I swear it!)

Ps: I still have to apply over at HV, and it's nice to know if I do get an interview I wont have to work with ^ mentioned!
Re:
Date: 2004-02-14 06:47 am (UTC)Did you check out the Into the West oscar party? It's a fan organized event for people who couldn't get into the TORN party. If I could sneak you in between my hobbity toes, I certainly would. *grins*
Apply as soon as possible! Leo needs new people right away, and is interviewing this week. Let me know when you have the interview, and I'll put in a good word for you. Although of course that means if you get hired, I OWN YOU. *smirks* ;-)

Fitting. Oscar party. Convention. Can I repeat that you NEED a job that pays you to know people?? Fuck this Social Anxiety Disorder thing, you're a BRILLIANT social flutterby! (translation: you're very good at social activity but don't necessarily like it/or it scares you even so--yes I'm one too)
