"PIXIE ( also pixy ); n.(pl. pixies) a supernatural being in folklore, typically portrayed as small and human-like in form, with pointed ears and a pointed hat. - DERIVATIVES pixieish adj. - ORIGIN C17: of unknown origin." I don't have pointed ears or a pointed hat. I am, however, short, spritely and very nefarious.
Had a nightmare-free night last night. I did have one dream but it was inconsequential stuff and wasn't disturbing in any way. I got a full 8 hours sleep.
Tonight, I have a night of gaming planned. Not a huge night - just a few hours of having fun and hanging out. |o/

I hate my bank. I'm with Barclays, who are international and one of few banks who haven't been in the news lately as being affected by this 'credit crunch' stuff... so y'know, they're doing fine. However the branch in town now doesn't open on a Saturday, and their weekday hours are 9:30 - 4pm.
The 'average person' works 9 - 5.
NINEEE TOOO FIVEEEEE, you dipshit bank you! GAAAHHH!!

P.S., just to make you all jealous - I didn't put weight on this christmas. Actually, I LOST weight.
Last night, had to go to bed early 'cause I was getting up early for work. Previously I'd been going to bed maybe 2am.
Got to bed at 11pm.
Stared at the ceiling a bit.
Twiddled my thumbs.
Drifted off to sleep. Woke up at 12:50, warm and cozy and snug, but really thirsty, so slurped some orange jucie.
Went back to sleep.
Woke up at 1am after some crazy nightmares about 'things' in my room. Spooked. Hopped on MSN on my phone, chatted to a couple of people for about an hour just until the spookses went away.
Went back to sleep at 2am.
Woke up at 3:50 almost in tears after some sad nightmare that I can't remember (for which I am thankful). Was too tired at that point to care, went back to sleep.
