Highs and Lows

So today was a boring day at work, but that's mostly because it was the Friday before a bank holiday, so half our staff was off. The office was SO quiet; it was freaky. Also, I was really looking forward to tonight, so the time went slowly. And then after work I went and met up with vegi_b and biscottimoment(Ina). YAY! I love meeting TWoPers in RL. Well, actually this was pretty much my first time, but it was so much fun. We just hung out, found a cafe, spent about an hour on public transport (lovely London), shopped for junk food, and then went back to mine to veg out. We watched Buffy and GG and ate poptarts. How cool is that? I actually got to watch GG with people who appreciate and love it - probably a first for me. And we are definitely hanging out more before they leave. So that's definitely a high. (Although you should have heard my mom when I said I was going to meet people I knew from the internet. She was so worried!)

And then to bring it all back down to Earth, I think I got my phone stolen today. It's missing, and I can't think of another time I had it out/place it would be. I'm going to call the cafe we were at tomorrow (once I get a phone to call with) and check, but I don't hold out much hope. For some reason I'm almost sure that it has been stolen - I just have this weird feeling about it. Stupid London. At least I have fairly recently emptied it of photos/videos. I'm not very good about noting people's numbers in other places though, so now I'm going to have to use email and facebook to rebuild my list. What a pain! Really the thing I feel the worst about is all the old text messages on there. I know it's stupid, but I'm kind of sentimental about things like that. It's always getting full, because I only delete the really inconsequential ones. Anyway, if it did get stolen, it totally sucks! Although I have to say - at least it wasn't my whole handbag. That would have been far far worse. Bah humbug!

Back to highs, just a note to say that V-fest was incredible. A picspam is coming your way just as soon as I manage to retrieve the proper camera cords from my parents' house so I can actually put them on my computer.

Oh, and happy birthday wiscck! I hope your day was all highs and no lows!

Grr. Aargh.

I was right! Some [insert curse words here] stole my phone. They must have taken it from my handbag on the bus, since I had it before that but not after. I called my phone company to cancel it and they said £10 of 0871 calls had been made on it, starting last night. I have to pay for them since they happened before I reported it. How mean is that? I thought it was like a credit card where they would refund the money. I couldn't even call to report it until my flatmate got up this morning, so that sucked. We should really have a landline for times like this. At least they have blocked it and can port my old number to the new sim card they are sending (for £10). But now I have to get a new phone. And I lost all my pictures, old texts, and my entire address book since I'm not good at noting people's numbers down in other places. I just cannot believe someone just took it right out of my handbag in plain sight. People are so evil.

And now I don't have a phone, so it's doubly hard to get anything sorted out. Why couldn't this happen during the week when I don't need to contact people as much?

BAH HUMBUG!
