a truly excellent episode, and very well timed for those at the conference. Jealous. Having anniversary day today, keas may happen later. Excited about that... currently too stuffed from fried breakfast. |

... how things can irritate you from a distance. Not physical ones, just niggles. Or big niggles, like reading something in the paper and actually getting really mad about it, instead of just educated (my usual new-receiving emotion)
... how I can have had a good day at work, and be in a good mood, and by hearing about other people's days modify my opinion (god I'm glad I don't do what you do and why can't I do _that_?) along with a small amount of being jealous of other people's lives. But then not jealous of others...
... how I swore to update this in exchange for others doing the same and its me, the never-updater, that is upholding the deal better.
But its good that there's nice days and crisp evenings. Good that my workmate hasn't 'fired' me today or yesterday (the boss made her re-hire me instantly... its long and decidedly amusing story, not as bad as it sounds) Good that I had crumbed mushrooms for tea... but bad that that was the only vege...
and now to bed. Happy that I like my life, glad I don't have some of other's bits, but wishing I had some other-other's bits. Nevermind, I have turkish delight choc in my bedside cabinet (and that really tells you everything you'll ever need to know about me, now doesn't it?) |

I said I'd update, and so I shall. Graduated on Friday, terribly spiffy and all that, but a bit of a letdown as my mother was the only person who wanted to celebrate with me, and even she didn't want any of the Graduation Wine (its a long story about the Wine, but suffice to say it was a Big Deal)
Baronial Anniversary yesterday which was very pleasant and I had fun showing Kelly the sights. Let downs were the temperatures (unavoidable, but still) and a lil politics (see above)
Tragically today the arthritis is playing up (think I did too much yesterday) and my left arm a) doesn't go and b) hurts like hell. So does my head, but I know the wine is responsible for that.
Suri, who for months has been too blonde to sort out the cat door has just decided to, at the one time we don't want her outside due to her being a conehead. Cone comes off tomorrow though (yay!) so won't be an issue for long.
That about covers it I think. |

we has a girl bunny and a boy bunny.
I was just hoping they didn't kill each other, since she's 4 times bigger than he is.
There was eventually head nuzzling, which was a good sign. That was over quickly, and then.....
I feel traumatised.
In other news, I gots a job *grin* |

I got home early today and for want of something better to watch ended up watching Dr Phil. (and the amount of ads in that show is just disgusting)
I stayed watching because they're discussing the Jena Six.
ish.
But the theory is: black guys are causing trouble. This seems to be a pro-white show. Having said that, the white camp are stating a lot "we're not racist.... but those guys are threatening us.So they are."
I am disgusted. I agree there needs to be _some_ action taken to address the actions of those 6 boys, but whats happening is insane.
So: do you know the case? Whats your stance? |

cheap chardonnay, clove, great book, armchair set up in the mouth of the garage so's I could watch the boomboom. Then the rest of the chardonnay while killing the whole world with an evil virus.
's been a great night.
The neighbor cat we have been told has a vet appointment tomorrow, which is a great relief. Been worried about that guy.
Have a soggy sponge rabbit. Nuf said... she's (finally) inside at least.
Oh, and in response to the writers block thing, A nocturnal upon St Lucy's day, Donne. *grin*
sometimes I miss the old me.... |

So here's me accessing my LJ. Weird huh? But I found this and it was too adorable. School is over for the year and grades have been released: they were most excellent. Work continues apace, the Christmas hype set in on Monday. Oddly, I'm enjoying it.
Right, back to pissing round on my Day Off. Hugs from me and Mr Batski. |

last day of holidays, and I spent most of it being sick. I have achieved exactly none of the assignments I was supposed to do (but the magic eight ball says I'm going to....?)
and now today is GORGEOUS and I'm going to be stuck in front of the computer.
Right, must go cleanse. |

it just occurred to me... say the lead singer of my chemical romance killed himself, and the huge entire emo fan base went into mourning....
how would you know? |

[Jun. 29th, 2007|10:24 am] |
Housesitting for the week and I had grand plans of doing an open sewing bee.... plans kinda got lost though. However, dress 1 is almost done, and I think I may have to admit dress 2 is not going to happen before coronation. Have watched a great amount of tv, and enjoyed the fire and feline company. Am coping with the dogs.
School is over for the first semester, and I'm looking forward to results because I think I've done bloody well. I better have, I've done almost nothing else for the last 4 months.
I have truly underestimated how much I love broadband. Dial up is a nightmare... hence the reason I haven't posted before now. However, my cell phone is being an arse and I seem to recall people communicate this way...
Anyways, see you all at coronation/ winter weekend (extreme yay to both) |

smell of curry, drinked, still stressed about school but hard to be too bothered on tuesday nights. That's for wednesday mornings.
Dogger loves me.... but I'm sure it's cos I smell of rabbit. |

|
| huh. |

Turns out the ability to workworkworkwork and then get dressed up, drink and be a whore-o-saurus was what got me thru uni. Sitting at home trying to relax by yourself is just not the same.
I really dislike chemistry.
And its so early in the term! |

|
| oooh.... |
[Feb. 28th, 2007|02:12 pm] |
I tend to wonder from time to time if my journal has died from lack of use. Today I eventually managed to load the page and discovered... no. Its still here. So here is a post to keep it alive a little longer.
CF was grand, and I am sufficiently excited about coronation to be planning a new outfit. But not at $80 which is currently the cost of the wool of much desire.
School is underway again and gets steadily busier by the day. But I am enjoying it. Oddly.
Sweetie is lovely to me and purchased dead things for me for valenitnes day, which were consumed as fast as possible. I desire more, more, more!
Science magazines and journals ought to have more publicity, they're really quite good.
Am feeling a little guilty for not having caught up with ever so many people.... it'll happen. |

Still have not heard about jobs, lucky socks have failed to summon phone calls.
Christmas shopping is well underway, but the poor credit card is suffering due to my extreme lack of useable cash.
Much coffee has been consumed.
Plan to make things over the next few days... it will be good. Might even get my sewing machine back...
hmm. I might make you earrings. |

You know those days when it ju7st seems like the world is out to get you? Like you leave the house and it starts raining, but then stops as soon as you've regained cover?
I'm having one of those weeks.
And worse, WINZ is at the crux of it. Time limits and deadlines and impending no-cash-dom (FEAR) and everything it on hold until I get "X" done. Course X can't happen until I've done Y, and Y can't happen without Z, and so it goes on.
So right now I am unenrolled because the forms aren't here, don't expect to be anytime soon because apparently between me and 'completed enrollment' stands a lot of paperwork, another city and a long chain of idiots (joy) and I can put that aside and deal with registering with SJS... only they're closed at CPIT just now and the website is F*cked.
So I amuse myself looking at what jobs are available. Found a good one too. Only I can't apply without being registered...
Oh, and Exam Fortnight From Hell started today.
I need a drink.
Done whining now. Think 'make it work' vibes in my direction, K? |

Stood in poo this morning. Bad start to day.
No tests today though :)
Lab is done...ish. Well, I was in class while it happened. Later I will write things on paper about it. I'm not sure what yet. Now stuck in the middle of killing 4 hours. The first 2 were easy: I wrote stuff. Then I ran out of things to do at tech. All the paperwork is at home...
...like my phone, so Niamh, if you read this, I won't be texting you. I'll call though.
I shall have food. Maybe go find a fun book. *sigh* I hate wasted time. |
