Wotcher, Stephen. Also, Women!

So in an effort to get in to a more Harry Potter mindset so I can finally hammer out some fic. I stuck the mp3s for Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix  audiobook as read by Stephen Fry on my mp3 player to listen to them on my walk to and from work. Just got up to chapter 3, with the advance guard picking Harry up form the durselys and...

and will never be able to take Tonks seriously again.

Stephen just gives her such an odd accent. I guess there's only so many femalish voices he can do before they start to blend together but still; he gives her this thick accent, like sort west country-y, or welsh. Totally threw me off. Harry seems a lot more obviously a moody emo teenager with Stephen reading him lol.

In real life news, I went home to my parents this weekend just past. I am also going home weekened coming. Reason for this is i have two friends, women I now from high school, that I was going to meet up with including one who has been around the world and I've not seen since the beginning of the year. This friend (lets go with A) has flaked out on a meet up before since they've got back fair enough, they had no job and money issues when the first arrive.

But this time A  says she probably wont turn up again because they've got a terrible cold, but at that point I've already told the folks I'm coming and I dont want to cancel on them. So  I tell the other thread (call her B) I'm coming down whatever happens with A and do we want to go see that film we talking about. So she agrees.

So the next day A definitly decides she can't make the meeting but promises she come down the next weekend, While B mentions that her dad wants to see the film (Skyfall the new 007 incidently) so why does she go see it with him at the weekend instead of me, and i can hang with my parents this weekend and we'll all meet up the following weekend.

So i ended up not seeing either A or B this weekend. Mentioned this to A on fb and she thought it was really weird that I'd told B i was making a special trip home and she ditched me. lol.

In conclusion, does this seem wierd to other people? And how do women think anyone?

Aaargh.

HELL. Darn. Blast. I am some kind of idiot. Really.

I gone and lost my damn id card for work. The one that lets me into the building. The one that lets me clock in and out to prove i've been there. The one they took like two weeks to make in the first place for some reason.

No idea how i did it. i've got the silly red clip on thing that came with it but no card. I know i used to clock out this afternoon. no i;m home niowhere to be found.

only thing i can think happen is i stuck in a pocket that had something else in it. like my mp3 player then when i pulled the mp3 out later to listen to it dislodged the card from my pocket. either that or i just randomly put it down at the sink or something when i went to the loo after clocking out.

So i'm panicing, random searching my room and feeling like a complete and total idiot.

I booked tomorrow off work but i know i feel like i should walk into work and try and find or at least report in missing and get the ball rolling on getting a new one.
