Hey, just found this link - some people are trying to get together a small campaign to get the rest of The Sentinel released on DVD, and need people to fill in a little form on the company's website to ask them to make the DVDs. It takes about two minutes, so if you're a fan, please go here and follow the instructions.

So, Lighthouse is over for another year. I've been helping since I was thirteen, so that's seven years now. And I still don't believe in God. Guess they need to work harder, huh? We had EIGHTEEN children this year, which was manic but actually manageable, surprisingly. The biggest problem was that we had quite a few troublesome kids, so as soon as you got one quietened down, another one started acting up. Which is why this was my most stressful Lighthouse ever, even though I also had the most competent helpers I have ever had.

What's weird is how, when they said up on main stage 'only people who believe in Jesus can go to Heaven', it really bothered me, despite the fact that I don't believe in it. I guess I don't like the idea that I could be left out, or have whatever happens to non-believers happen to me if they're right. And Mum was a Christian, so presumably she's gone to Heaven by their philosophy, which means I'd never see her again. Nasty. Of course, everyone says something different about who gets to go to Heaven or not, so I'll try not to take it to heart!

I managed almost 500 words of writing last night, so here's to hoping that forcing myself into it will work the business. I just need to get back into the swing of it, I think. Sticky scene or something.

Hello! *waves frantically* It's me! I'm back!

Although, of course, this weekend is the HP Con (omigodhowfuni'msoexcited!) and then it's Lighthouse for the next five days (fifteen screaming eight year olds all week, egads, but I love it) and then we're in France for two weeks on holiday (though we have wireless internet there), so busy, huh?

My placement went well, I got a better mark this time than last time which is good as it shows improvement, and me and Lucy have started putting our things together for Lighthouse, including washing the pongy blanket, which always smells when we get it out at first.

And I got a full tax rebate of nearly £200, which is frickin awesome, because now I have £200 I can spend for fun because it's like a bonus.

So I'm happy today ^-^

I go to Lighthouse and it's sweltering and stuffy and I sweat and then dirt sticks to me and now I feel gross.

Yeah, that's it :D

This day included:

  • One (1) child who apparently once broke her arm and now her elbow is easily dislocated (hasn't happened yet)
  • One (1) set of Biscuit Nazis
  • One (1) group of really stupid Craft Tent helpers who don't appreciate how difficult our day already is
  • One (1) truly wonderful drama session that all the kids and the helpers love ^-^
  • One (1) lost shoe that somehow I was supposed to find despite the fact that the child couldn't tell me where she'd last had it and there were 1500+ children in that tent hiding the shoe

    And much more that I can't be bothered to write about. Tired now. All starts again tomorrow, o'course.
