Aah, it's been a few weeks since I've written in here, not because life has been uneventful... just because I'm lazy. :)

 

Well, last night was the first official "Crap Ball", hosted by Aoife and I, and even though our schedule got tossed and we ad-libbed everything, it was still an absolutely fantastic night, and it was so good just to catch up with friends in an easy environment. "Forget your agenda" was our motto, and that's exactly what we did.

 

Sadly, some people couldn't make it (and if you're reading this, Jesse, you owe me the biggest explanation, lmao. I'm still waiting for the fairy-bread...), but we still had...umm.. lemme think... Aoife, Shells, Shanelle, Brett, Jordan, Tanya (and her friends) and I... so about 12 all up. Which wasn't bad. No, not bad at all :) In fact, we all had a great time. I think it justifies having a second one sooner or later :) I upped a few pics, so go and have a squizz.

 

In other news, I think I've decided to go looking for another job, or maybe a second job or something. I really love where I am now, and I don't want to leave, but with new regulations coming in soon, as well as both Faith (the Boss) and Beth (2 I.C) leaving in the coming months, we are expecting a major shake-up, and Andrew (the guy who 'connects' the child-care to the church) expects that they will be bringing in some very old-school traditionalist Christians to replace them. Which is fine, good for them, but all the girls agreed that should that happen, it'll become a rather awkward environment; and I'm not prepared to stop 'being me' just so I fit the mould they would like me to have. I hope it doesn't come to that, because I'd miss the kids sorely, but I know I have the other staff's support, and they said if I go, they're going too... which isn't 'good', I guess, but it makes me feel less like 'the bad guy'. We can all go and work at McDonalds on minimum wage together, hehe.

 

On a happier note, I'm finally thinking about getting some of my songs properly recorded, with voices and orchestral backings etc etc. It'll be a bit of work and a bit of money, but it's something I've wanted to do for ages, and it's kinda frustrating to hear it all in my head, but not actually "hear" it. And I'm getting cracking on my writing again, too (how many times have a I said that :P). We'll see how it goes this time, but I do want to finish it and start submitting it sooner or later (knowing me: later).

 

'Til next time, people, everyone take care. Love you all.

Peter
