hathycolSo, now that I'm over Doctor Who I can write in a calm and sensible manner about my weekend.
Firstly, graduation ball! Friday night proved problematic, as I had to somehow juggle the fact that I had to catch up on bits of Hollyoaks but couldn't watch it all (as I would cry), and then had the added problem of my dress not fitting. I have no idea how, but I magically put on a dress size overnight. One slight panic and a wail to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
stupidore, who is basically my personal clothes library and Gok Wan rolled into a tiny package of awesome, and I walked out of the house in my fabulous new heels that I had bought the day previously and a blue and black dress that I had wriggled into only a few minutes previously. SCORE.
Now, my intention of going to this ball was to see friends, to do the charity work, and to sensibly drive home as I had to be in work the next day. I was going with New Housemate Ceri, who I don't know that well, so I was just going to be calm and collected. After working on the chairty cloakroom for two hours with her, engaged in those eminently girly sports of Perving and Bitching at the people going past, we ended up getting trollied on whatever booze we could get our hands on and then dancing like fools.
Classy.
I spent the rest of the evening with Ann and a few other friends and quietended down a bit before realising I would need to geta taxi home, as I was a. drunk and b. wearing three inch-heels. Whoops.
... as you can imagine, I was chuffed to bits to be woken up by Jehovah's Witnesses the next morning.
Anyway. That was pretty much the high point of my weekend, neatly followed by the revelation that work has cocked up my paperwork which is why I still don't have a staff number and aren't going to be paid until end of July. Er. Oh dear. I really enjoy this job, though, so not to worry. Means I won't feel so bad unexpectedly quitting in a few months time.
My future is not one filled with shiny glee, other than Saturday night OBVIOUSLY. I have a staff meeting tomorrow night - an hour after my shift ends which means I basically have to hang around town for a long and dull hour ARGH.
Someone suggest something fun for me to do. Any good plays on soon, any parties I should know about, films, books? For the forseeable future I don't have any 'weekends' and instead just have a day off here and there, so I can't even travel anywhere. SUGGEST ME STUFF, PEOPLE.

= so good to hear. *g*
I have few suggestions, other than my recent book post of yay and recs. I do, however, have a question. Have you seen Trial of a Timelord? If so, is it any good? i.e. worth buying when it comes out on DVD, which is happening soonish. Also, I bought a Target novelisation of part of it: will it make sense to read it without the others? If you havenae seen it, these questions are irrelevant, sorry. And I know it is Colin Baker, but, um, I hold out hope that some of his stories may be good (esp. as I've only seen R-...-tion of the Daleks, whichever one it is where Davros drops a polystyrene tombstone on the Doctor and it is bascially LIKE CRACK).
Ahem. I, err, stop waffling now, ys.
