Was hoping for better results

That's enough test taking today.. Gonna go play Rayman.. dunno why. Just feel like it

hmm

It's overrated.

All that happens is, You sit about waiting for little brats darlings to ring your doorbell demanding the sweets you've bought especially for them.

Except where I live, they don't show up. So I'm left with sweets, that I have to eat!

Or, you go to a party, and end up looking like this:

I'm all dressed up with my halo and wings.. see?

Hope Freddie likes my costume. *cough cough*

I got a bloggy invite from a French person (who doesn’t have any blogs) today! YES!

Zvone (my ex) decided to drop a bomb today. Well it could’ve been a horrible bomb but in fact it wasn’t.

He’s met a girl. They’re going out in a couple days.

Am I jealous?

Nope.

I thought I would be pissed off/hurt/annoyed etc but I’m pleased to say that I’m not. I’m happy that he’s met a nice-sounding girl who isn’t psychotic or 16 years old (his last 2 possible love matches).

He didn’t appreciate my song about sitting in a tree though. I must learn to grow up..

Apples or.. Urinals?!

I went a wandering around the Car Boot Sale today. I got loads of groovy stuff!

First happy find was a box of Match and Shoot magazines (Can’t stand ‘em but hoped for nice pictures you see). Mummykins refused to help me carry them around so I decided to come back later and get them.

On that same stall was.... Oh goodness! The Monkey Island Bounty Pack! OOOH! I could hardly contain my excitement! £3 they wanted.

It’s worth at least 10x that on eBay.

Not that I’ll be selling it..

I also picked up SSX Tricky and one of the Eye Toy games for the PS2. yes. I can finally “exercise” and play video games at the same time. It’s almost like Christmas!

Oh dear. Another stall had a box of Depeche Mode singles. I almost, ALMOST bought them for Zvone but aah they’ll cost a bomb to post and he’ll only lose them and I’ll wonder for the next decade why I bothered buying them.

So what else did I get.

Oh nothing much.. just a pile of Pompey matchday programmes.

Some of them are “signed” too. (That translates to, “My kid drew on them with a black marker”)

Or maybe they really are signed..

I went back for the magazines but the stall had already packed up and left. Aww...

OK, my latest.. “dream” is/was really really really weird.

It involved Friends people.. Why? I haven’t watched Friends for ages!

Ross and Rachel were at the cinema. Behind them were this couple and as the film wore on, they were getting more and more into each other. The guy kept saying “Oh I have to pee!” but didn’t.

Instead they ended up having.. er.. anal sex.. right there on the seat behind Ross and Rachel.

So Ross and Rachel leave the cinema, with Ross moaning about the guy complaining about his bladder problems for 96 minutes!

Hmm..

Apparently, Ross was due to marry someone after than but he decided that he wanted to marry Rachel instead. So they turn up at this studio that’s absolutely jam packed with people and Ross presents the audience with his new bride. And Rachel does a lot of bowing and curtseying.

Obviously the old bride got a bit annoyed about that and had a strop.

Gah. It sounds silly written down.

And some Robbie site apparently...

Name: Caroline

OK, today.. lets see.

Well, me and my Mum had a blazing row.. Why? Because I was on the phone for an hour.

An incoming call.

And she was really angry.. because.. It meant I missed an hour of room tidying. (Yes, I got around to doing that today.)

It went on to be a “yell at Cazza about how lazy/unappreciative/geeky/selfish I am".

I took offence and yelled back.

Apparently, yelling back is answering back, even if it’s just to validate a point. This always happens during blazing rows and I’m sick of being expected to just stand there and take it.

But it’s blown over now.

I’m gonna go curl up in front of the TV with my bag of Dolly Mixtures.. mmmm...

Herbert A. Millington
Chair - Search Committee
412A Clarkson Hall, Whitson University
College Hill, MA 34109

Dear Professor Millington,

Thank you for your letter of March 16. After careful consideration, I regret to inform you that I am unable to accept your refusal to offer me an assistant professor position in your department.

This year I have been particularly fortunate in receiving an unusually large number of rejection letters. With such a varied and promising field of candidates, it is impossible for me to accept all refusals.

Despite Whitson's outstanding qualifications and previous experience in rejecting applicants, I find that your rejection does not meet my needs at this time. Therefore, I will assume the position of assistant professor in your department this August. I look forward to seeing you then.

Best of luck in rejecting future applicants.

Sincerely,
Chris L. Jensen

Bloody Subbies and her forcing suggesting I get this silly wonderful Firefox Extension.

I should be in bed.

Instead, I've looked at cute pictures of kittens, Made 3D Snowflakes. Planned what to have for dinner tomorrow (Bacon and Onion Hash???), Made George Bush talk a lot and had a snigger over these. (and emphasized the "to try" ones!)

HOW TO TICK PEOPLE OFF

1. Leave the copy machine set to reduce 200%, extra dark, 17 inch paper, 99 copies.
2. In the memo field of all your checks, write "for sexual favors."
3. Specify that your drive-through order is "TO-GO."
4. If you have a glass eye, tap on it occasionally with your pen while talking to others.
5. Stomp on little plastic ketchup packets.
6. Insist on keeping your car windshield wipers running in all weather conditions "to keep them tuned up."
7. Reply to everything someone says with "that's what you think."
8. Practice making fax and modem noises.
9. Highlight irrelevant information in scientific papers and "cc" them to your boss.
10. Make beeping noises when a large person backs up.
11. Finish all your sentences with the words "in accordance with prophesy."
12. Signal that a conversation is over by clamping your hands over your ears and grimacing.
13. Disassemble your pen and "accidentally" flip the ink cartridge across the room.
14. Holler random numbers while someone is counting.
15. Adjust the tint on your TV so that all the people are green, and insist to others that you "like it that way."
16. Staple pages in the middle of the page.
17. Publicly investigate just how slowly you can make a croaking noise.
18. Honk and wave to strangers.
19. Decline to be seated at a restaurant, and simply eat their complimentary mints at the cash register.
20. TYPE IN UPPERCASE.
21. type only in lowercase.
22. dont use any punctuation either
23. Buy a large quantity of orange traffic cones and reroute whole streets.
24. Repeat the following conversation a dozen times.
"DO YOU HEAR THAT?"
"What?"
"Never mind, it's gone now."
25. As much as possible, skip rather than walk.
26. Try playing the William Tell Overture by tapping on the bottom of your chin. When nearly done, announce "No, wait, I messed it up," and repeat.
27. Ask people what gender they are.
28. While making presentations, occasionally bob your head like a parakeet.
29. Sit in your front yard pointing a hair dryer at passing cars to see if they slow down.
30. Sing along at the opera.
31. Go to a poetry recital and ask why each poem doesn't rhyme.
32. Ask your co-workers mysterious questions and then scribble their answers in a notebook. Mutter something about "psychological profiles."

I may as well just superglue my ass to this chair for the next 50 years. It's that good!

Well almost...

It’s league cup night. Not that anyone cares.

My first trip to Highbury was for a League Cup game, Arsenal vs Preston North End. I was 16 or 17 so wasn’t old enough to have plastic in my wallet yet so my mum had to ring up to book the tickets.

I bet the poor bloke she got on the phone still has a chuckle about this little exchange.

OK, for non footie fans. The Arsenal manager is called Arsene Wenger and a lot of big teams usually field a youthful team for the League Cup cos it’s a silly competition really.

So, My mum rang up for tickets. The guy explains to her that Arsene Wenger would probably not play his first team for this match.

To which my mother replied, “Who’s Arsene Wenger?”

“He’s the team manager, madam!”

Oh the shame!

Except it's Tuesday today so you'd have all laughed at me.

I’ve spent the day fiddling with Firefox and Thunderbird. Not quite got to grips with them yet but know I need to persevere. The 2 times I’ve loaded Maxthon (by accident) have always had to be terminated cos they froze. Grrrrr!

I quite like that you can have RSS feeds in with the email. It makes a lot of sense to me that, cos I try to leave my email open all day. But, I imported my feed list and it says they’re all invalid! So seems I have to do that manually. Yay!

Think I’ll try Opera later.

Anyway, I haven’t been on blog all day. I’ve been dusting and hovering.

Ok I wasn’t.. I pretended to though cos my lovely mother decided that I should do those things today.

But she’s really smart and noticed that I hadn’t.

Now I’m catching up on blogs and listening to Arsenal Kiddies vs West Brom and following Leicester vs Bastard and thinking about him in too much detail. Damnit!

Too many people trying to take the test maybe? I filled it all out and got that!

EDIT: YAY! It works now! But it lies! It must lie!

Gosh I wish there was a way to limit eBay bidding..

I’m selling this dress.. I took a nice photo of the dress and described it as something to wear to a fancy dress party. As it’s really not the kind of thing people actually wear to Asda!

It cost us about 3pounds from another eBayer who really didn’t try very hard with the picture taking or the description writing, so as a result, Mum didn’t like it so we’re reselling it.

It’s now £51 with a day still to run..

IT’S NOT WORTH £51!!! It’s not a bloody Versace number. It’s not made of gold. In fact, the material feels horrible.

So I’m going to end up with an unhappy buyer.

Or they won’t pay.

Dear God.. Lets pray for the latter!

On the other hand, they may think they're getting a bargain... hmm..

My mum has been playing the same Bejeweled game all evening, She’s on like, level 15 or something and is moaning cos she “wants to go to bed!” and “when does this game end??”

It produced nice relaxing ambient music while I watched TV anyway, but it made me crave a game too.

I’ve just play 4 games and failed to pass level 2. How is that fair?

Thanks to AJ, Firefox is working great. I really really like it.

Next to ditch is Outlook Express where every day it asks me if I want to “compact my message” (yes, if I must) and then farts for half an hour while I have a snooze.

Tomorrow, I’m installing Thunderbird, oh yes! Lets hope it now has a workaround to the annoying problem of 4million different inboxes.

I’ve just noticed my friends list has shrunk. Well fine, I didn’t want to be your friend anyway. hmmph. I know who you are!

Actually to be honest, It makes no sense but if they don’t want to be my friend, that’s fine. I’m not gonna cling on.

I guess I should go show my mum that you can actually stop playing Bejeweled and finish tomorrow.. shall I do that now, or at 2am? *evil cackle*

So yesterday...

Chelski beat Portsmouth, which made me cry.
Charlton still haven’t won a game, which is depressing.
Villia drew (again!) which I should be used to by now.

Today
ManUre won. More tears
Sp*rs are winning. COME ON WEST HAM!

There’s no commentary for my Arsenal match until the second half?
And I’ve only just figured this out, and we’re already winning YAY!

And i'm sure, just as I post this, something terrible will happen, like it did yesterday.

I’m a Maxthon user..

Stupidly, I decided to download the new version of Internet Explorer yesterday.

And now everything is screwed.

It keeps freezing (it used to only freeze on AJ’s blog!)

Links in emails, and RSS land don’t work anymore. You click them, and nothing happens.

eBay won’t let me search for anything, (oh no! I can’t spend money!)

It works fine in Firefox though.

So, I would love to switch over to Firefox, really I would. But It’s too different.. I can’t be arsed to figure out how to change things that are essential for my well being. For example, I am used to just typing a domain, ebay/blog/google, ctrl+enter, and tada. Auto completion. Do that in firefox, and it get’s .com’d instead.

And shift clicking links open in new windows instead of new tabs. Why..?

And these are things that gripe me after 5 minutes.. I’m sure there’s other things that will annoy me over extended periods.

Help...! Convince me to switch, I know it’s a better world over there

Silly Pro Evo doesn't have proper team names, but you get the idea

GOOD LUCK!! Whip their scummy asses YEAH!

While you were off watching X-Factor *snigger*, It came about that the Pompey game had to be replayed.. cos er.. um... well.. Just because.

And Pompey won!

Really!

Look at this!

I had a lovely conversation with Zvone this afternoon about what it takes to be an Angel, it started off as a joke but he was taking it all so seriously that I began to as well.

It started thanks to a Depeche Mode song called Breathe that he loves and listens to over and over again because it has beautiful lyrics.

He told me the singer was an angel.

I told him that he could sing about what he liked as he was being paid a lot of money to do so.

Which got us onto the subject of earning Angelship from God. You can either pay 25,000 pounds and be an angel that way, or earn the right to be an Angel by being angelic.

If anyone is interested, this is a rough guide to becoming an Angel for those of us who aren’t rolling in dosh.

Be peaceful
Help others
Flap your arms for half an hour every day
Don't hurt people
Use cream to make your skin glow
Wear white
Talk in a dreamy way
Write about love

Angels can drink although not to excess too often. Smoking is a no no for Angels, they might burn their halos. They can even indulge in the odd porn flick if they so desire.

Angels aren’t allowed to cause pain or suffering to others.

They are encouraged to not suffocate any happy feelings, as a happy angel is a good angel.

In time, God will recognise those who are practising good Angelship and be rewarded with angel wings and a halo.

I am happy to answer any questions you may have about following the road to becoming a winged being

After all, I am already an Angel

I know I haven’t blogged about the Sheva shirt in a while.. Bad me.

This pic was taken about 3 weeks ago. It’s in a Tesco bag in Jenni’s shed.

Actually, I should say it was in Jenni’s shed.

But it had to be moved.

Why? Oh it was only rotting a hole in the floor.

Look at the mould. And if you could smell it? Well.. yuck.

Jenni wanted me to bring it up to London with me, as that where it needs to be really for future plans, but, sensibly, I refused to carry it.

I didn’t want to be arrested for a suspected terrorist attack. It’s probably producing toxic gases!

So anyway, we have a few ideas..

Find out where Sheva lives and post it through his letterbox or leave it on his doorstep.

Post it to him. c/o Chelsea FC.

Pin it to the doors of Stamford Bridge.

Throw it at him as he arrives/leaves a match.

Kidnap him and tie him to a tree in Finsbury Park. Gag him with the shirt, or force him to wear it and leave him there for 24 hours, just to see what happens.

Shame we’d get arrested for most of those thing...

My new Sims game arrived today. Yipeee!

I haven’t had a chance to play it yet though as I had to spend the afternoon in Primark.

God, I hate Primark.

I’m not a snob, I think they do some lovely gear. However, whenever I find myself in there, I also find myself mentally lawsuit slapping them. I tripped on the welcome mat at the entrance as it had doubled over. I then went skiing on a coat hanger in the lingerie section.

And that was just the stuff I didn’t see.. It’s always so messy!

Oh! and the queues.. I can’t be doing with queuing for half an hour just to try on a £5 pair of trousers.. and then if they fit, you have to queue for longer to actually pay for them..

All I buy in there these days is funky socks (I love socks!) and scarfs.. But it seems I have them all now as nothing tempted me today.

I also bought this game called Schizm which is supposed to be very very very very difficult.. So, I doubt I'll ever take it out the box.

Yes, the box is very nice, that's why I bought it!

Isn’t it weird..

For the past few weeks I haven’t felt very motivated to sell on eBay, I’ve done a couple of things now and then but I wasn’t enjoying it. I was just doing it cos I was being nagged to on an almost daily basis.

So I wasn’t too pleased that my mum tells me today it’s 10p listing day and she wants to take advantage of it.

In fact, I made an audible groaning noise!

I’ve managed to spend most of the day avoiding it.. I’ve been Photoshopping headings for my new sad blog, and doing too much procrastination.

But then it got to 5pm and I figured I’d better do some listings.

And you know what? I’m actually enjoying it!!

What’s going on there then..?

...Pipex!

It's all done, I got my migration code today. (surprise surprise)

Our door is still ajar..

I suggest you close it. It's cold outside.

We are sorry to hear that you are considering moving to another service provider for your broadband. At this stage we should have already discussed your migration request with you. If not, please give us a call so we can see if there's anything we can do.

I bet you are.. losing 34quid a month for an outdated service. We didn't discuss anything. I just told you I wanted to leave and you asked why. I won't be calling again for any reason cos you have crap holding music

Once a Mac code has been issued, your Pipex Broadband will automatically be ceased in 30 days. If you would like to change your mind and stay with Pipex, please e-mail us within 25 days so we can keep your Pipex Broadband service active.

What on earth would I want to do that for!

Please note, if your Pipex Broadband service is still within its first 12 months, contract cancellation charges may apply - see our terms and conditions for details.

I've been with you for 4 years, 2 years longer than I should've been really..

So I'm moving to Eclipse, on the recommendation of AJ (Literally)

He's getting a cheque for £30 off them.

I'm looking forward to my half of that

Does anyone know any *decent* chat room sites for my Mum to join?

She belonged to some MSN groups but they folded recently so she's bored.

She wants friendly ones, for older people. and not full of Americans.

Her words, not mine

Ta

So here I am again, back on hold with Pipex.

Read this first if you want. Last week’s crap service moan-blog.

Anyway, after I blogged that, I did hang up and call back, 45 minutes later, I was told I would be emailed my migration code thing within 3 days.

Of course I never got it.

So I’m demanding it now. Stupid company.

Except, (this made me laugh...) “We are currently experiencing a high volume of calls and you may have to wait in excess of 12 minutes”

12 minutes? Wow. Such a short amount of time...

I’m so glad I’m leaving.

At least, I hope I am...

I'm coming up to the 12 minute mark now.

EDIT: OK, some silly girl just told me that their systems are down and they can't check my account and I should call back tomorrow!

Ever heard of recorded messages?

Never ever join Pipex people. Their customer service is dire.

That's Zvone...

I feel an old obsession is on the verge of a resurface.

Despite the BBC's predictions of a constant downpour on my doorstep. I haven’t seen any rain, at all. Oh goody.

Maybe, as a result, my cold is beginning to leave me which is good too. Except, my cough has returned. Actually, that returned on Monday night and kept me awake til gone 4am (again!) Wondering if I’m allergic to something or it’s just a bitch cough that antibodies don’t like.

Dunno if that makes sense, I was crap at Biology.

To ensure I slept soundly last night, I prepared a concoction of.. stuff..

2 shots of liquor, followed by 2 paracetamol followed by a dose of cough syrup.

I was asleep within half an hour!

Anyway, I had to drag myself to the Jobcentre this morning. I haven’t seen any potential jobs this week which is annoying.

On a happier note, my 2007 Freddie calendar is here!!

Now, shall I post the piccies.. HMMM... decisions decisions..

(...cos she's a slut!)

Licking a giant lollipop looked a bit..

I still prefer the ickle me!

Yesterday, I wanted to separate my silly quotes to another blog, Is there a way to move the ones I’ve already published over to the new one?

Seems not.

But, today. I am thinking to just keep them here.. all of them that is. Even the ones I’m yet to write.

I should rename this blog to Cartlionel’s Dumping Ground.

Oh, by the way. That wasn’t the major new blog idea.

In fact. That probably won’t happen now. Cos I’m lazy and it was pretty sad!

No it wasn’t.

Ok, it was...

I need to be more decisive...

I was just installing a game that I thought I could play tomorrow during the torrential downpour that’s expected.

It’s the fifth Myst instalment if you care. Very brain taxing.

I need a good brain exercise. More so now.

As, upon completion of the install, I didn’t launch the game up like most people would.

I uninstalled it..

Over my roof, at least

My first full day of cold.

Number of tissues saturated? : at least 100

Number of Paracetamol taken : 4!

Number of Beecham’s Flu Plus stuff had : NONE!

Ooh dear. Why not?

Because my lovely mother absolutely LOVES to see me suffer.

Ah!

“Don’t worry darling, I’ll get you some night nurse and other chemist stock during my lunch hour.”

“Awww thanks”

But of course she forgot. She forgot that her favourite daughter is bunged up with snot and is dripping wet in sneeze juice.

The only thing keeping me going is that a: Colds don’t last that long and b: I will be all fit and healthy when everyone else gets their yearly snotfest.

Haha

Yes, breathing in too much Vic makes me irritable.
(No, I don’t breathe it in every day)

I just have to make sure that I close my eyes when I take those deep sniffs. Cos it hurts if you don’t.

I’ll make an excellent drug addict...

I've been arting it up all afternoon.

I get the impression that I like purple...

Zvone says that it looks girly!

I think that's because, I'm a girl..!

I'm sure i'll tweak it some more but for now, It's staying like this unless everyone hates it

Here’s proof that one can be sceptical in a dream.

I was in a class of little children. We were playing this video game that demonstrated the food chain.

I started off controlling a mouse. It was quickly consumed by a cat.

So now I was controlling a cat.

I then had to dodge a scary looking dog, but managed to lose him. See? I always knew cats are more intelligent that dogs!

Next challenge was in the form of a bird.

The cat managed to kill the bird. So, now I was in control of a bird?

“Stupid game..” I thought.

The bird spied a rat and quickly gobbled him up.

Now, yes. I was a rat.

Guess what came to eat up the rat?

A GIANT rat..

“This game sucks!” I whined “There’s no such thing as a giant rat!”

So, the teacher opened her cupboard to reveal that, in fact, giant rats do exist...

Surprisingly, I didn’t wake up screaming!

Why does my Dad decide to come down on weekends when I feel like crap. And, why does he give absolutely NO notice about his arrival?

Well, we got a free meal.. It was very nice, Pasta and chicken in 4 cheese and mushroom sauce with garlic bread on the side.

I bought a round of drinks.

Apparently, I’ve never bought him a drink before, and he wouldn’t shut up about it.

I felt like saying “Well, if you came to visit more than twice a year, It could become a regular occurrence!"

But I didn’t.

I was punished for thinking such mean thoughts. I got horrid indigestion later.

-----

I went to a car boot sale this morning but I really wasn’t in the mood, So only looked around half of it. Didn't buy anything.

Mum bought a mini pinball machine that’s too loud. And now she’s wondering why she bought it. I wondered that as soon as she enquired about the price to the stallholder!

-----

I watched yesterday’s Match Of The Day earlier tonight. Lots of Bastard to look at.

And, is it wrong for me to want to give Cudicini a great big hug?

-----

Went to Jenni’s tonight, She’s alright. We read a book called “I Hate School” Which just had us in hysterics for a good hour.

Oh, and we played The Sims. Haven’t done that for ages! We made a Bastard sim. He’s best friends with Patrick Vieira.

And we put a Viking hat on his head...?!

... I’ve gone Pro!

Why?

I had a bit of spare cash in my Paypal account.

And because it looked fun.

Actually, I had a fab sad idea for a new blog..

I knew right away that Rock Hudson was gay when he did not fall in love with me.

Gina Lollobrigida

Just as I'm getting over my cough..

.. I get a bloody cold!

I want to share something with you - the three sentences that will get you through life. Number one. Cover for me. Number two. Oh, good idea, boss. Number three. It was like that when I got here.

Homer Simpson

Gawd! Annoying Jenni.. Writing about what we did in London. What’s the point in me writing about it now?

I’ll just add a few things for the fun of it.

We danced. You know, in the dark, with loud music and flashing lights. Something I really detest.

But it was fun.

Especially when the fire alarms went off at 1am and we all had to leave.

-----

Ray slagged off Freddie and hurt my Bastard toy. Hmmph.

-----

I met Ros properly. She’s lovely

Must be something in the air in London...

I trod on about 100 people’s feet, even though I could easily have avoided the majority of them.

I cut my finger closing Jenni and Ray’s front door.

I fell over backwards for absolutely no reason at all on an escalator.

I knocked over a bin with my bag without realising it.

But the worst thing? Choosing to sit next to a 50 year old man on the train home even though there were lots of younger men in the carriage with empty seats next to them.

Damn damn damn...

That's the fastest time ever run - but it's not as fast as the world record.

David Coleman

Obvious isn't it..?

I've edited the post below that'd gone tits up

I would've stayed longer but.. Jenni has lectures all day tomorrow and Arsenal on Saturday.

It's ironic though.. My mum is a serial worrier, She insisted that poor Jenni see me back on my train even though I was entirely able to get to the station and onto it myself. Yet she was the one who said "Oh! You should've stayed up there and gone shopping and stuff while Jenni was busy!"

Hmm, so you do want me to wander around London on my own. Make up your mind! Grrr

I know she means well really, but she forgets that I've been to London a lot, I'm very sensible, Only a small minority of people are muggers and rapists etc, It just annoys me that she tells me countless times that I should be more confident and independent and yet when I attempt to, I get mollycoddled.

Anyway, I'll blog tomorrow about my time away, and I'll resume quotes (oh joy!)

AJMO HRVATSKA

Hehe.. What a "dobro" game.

Jenni wore her my Croatia shirt, although she had the sense to not reveal it while we were watching the game..

Later on though, she shed her coat and got a handful of mixed reactions.

The funniest one was at Finsbury Park tube station where someone shouted SERBIA! At us!

It reminded me of Zvone’s first trip to London, about 5 years ago, we were walking past Trafalgar Square and this guy was standing nearby waving a Serbian flag! Zvone couldn’t believe it and threatened that he’d go over there and punch him (he wouldn’t really..!)

Later that day he told me that London “sucked”.

He enjoyed future visits though

On the steps outside the stadium.... Mmmm i'm coming home tonight

EDIT : Piccies
(wasn't silly enough to make the same mistake twice!)

EDITED

Dunno if you can see the pic but we just had Arsenal birthday cake! Guess which bit I had?

I won’t tell you what I said after I had my bit, It was very naughty..

---------------------------------------

I’d leave in the Japanese alien cake recipe but.. It’s causing problems, so It had to go.

That’s what happens when you try to attach a picture to a “moblog” post.. I had a feeling after I sent it that it so wouldn’t work but was too late

Oh well, it entertained everyone!

Am on the train, clever this isn't it :) how do i do line breaks? Ah sod it! Anyway, weather sucks. May as well be in a tunnel as it's black outside.. The sun will miraculously show itself once i'm there. I'm such an optimist :) good thing i have free wap-ness. It has a use now heehee!

I’m all packed, I have a full mp3 player, I have a good book for the train.

I’m debating whether to take Freddie the dog, he usually goes with me when I go away but my suitcase is bulging.

Earlier tonight, I realised that my telescope wasn’t in my bag so was in a panic as reading signs and stuff is hell without it.. Jenni said she’d meet me at Waterloo but I’ve found it now.. thank god. It was in my bag I used to take to training so that just shows how long it’s been since I needed to use it! Oops

I have a good feeling that England won’t cruise past Croatia tomorrow, that’s another thing, Jenni asked her mum to drop her Croatia shirt at my house so I could take it up for her. What a cheek! My mum would never do something like that

So, goodnight.. I hope I don’t miss this place too much I’ll be back.. at some point

Actually, I need to shave my legs first..!

Just seeing if it works

I’m going up to London tomorrow so will be quiet for a couple days.

I’m trying to set up blogging from my mobile phone but at the moment it’s having none of it and makes a nasy noise with a “Internet: Host Not Found” message..

I guess I should get on with doing things that are actually more essential, like sync music to my mp3 player.. oh.. and pack

Give a man a free hand and he'll run it all over you.

Mae West

Ah somebody deleted my late night post about rubbing Haagen Dazs into Freddie’s back so he wouldn’t get sunburnt.

OK, it was a dream..

Made extremely scary cos I also dreamed that I blogged about it.

Note to self: Posh ice-cream is not a sun-cream substitute.

Although, I'll be testing what effects it has on a calf injury later!

It’s been 35 minutes since I picked up the phone to call my lovely ISP to cancel my service.

Has anyone picked up yet?

No.

I was taken out the musical queue about 10 minutes ago but no one has actually picked up the ringing line yet.

And they’ll probably ask why I want to leave... Hah

So tempting to hang up and start again. This doesn’t seem normal at all!

Stupid Pipex...

The only way to have a friend is to be one.

Finally, after a year of being wired to a router, I had to admit defeat and go wireless.. The router has been sitting quite happily in my room all that time while my mum is in the next room surfing wirelessly from it.

But Mummy wasn’t pleased. Her signal was “Very Low” most of the time and it was getting beyond a joke with the constant moans of “OH EVERYTHING’S SO SLOW!” and “I’VE BEEN DISCONNECTED AGAIN!”

So now the router is in the hall and I’ve dug out my wireless connection/usb thing/hideous blue lighted stick/etc praying that I didn’t have a “Very Low” signal as well.

Thankfully now we both have “Very Good” signals.

But it’s not as good as being wired.

The lights on the router made a handy night-light!

Other than that, it’s the same.

Statistics are like a bikini. What they reveal is suggestive, but what they conceal is vital.

Aaron Levenstein

Dreams last night included the idea of “Volcano Karting”, Hanging by a rope in a carriage and being whisked across hot lava. As long as that isn’t what the London Underground has become. Hate it! Grr

We were going to go to a carboot sale today but my mum’s lovely old lady friend decided to ring up just as we were leaving. We did leave eventually but car boot sale wasn’t on! Incidently, when my mum asked me – from another room – whether we were going to a certain car boot sale (as apposed to another nearby one), I am SURE she said “Alex Hleb Car Boot Sale” but that can’t be right so I probably just imagined it.

We went shopping (in shops) instead. I needed/wanted some new clothes so I now have an array of new outfits. Haven’t indulged in retail therapy for ages, but that’s probably because retail therapy leaves me stressed, tired and depressed.

I bought Jenni’s birthday card, and ordered her birthday present. I am sure she’ll love both, I love looking at cards, hoping to find just the right one. I know this is definitely the right one. It might as well just have her name one it! I’ll scan it now and post it on here when I come back from London.

Now I’m.. well.. I’m watching video interviews of the Sweden Squad talking Swedish.. I know.. thrilling.

I got my new specs today, you know, the ones that should be made of gold and diamonds and rubies if the price is anything to go by.

Managed to haggle and get them with all the trimmings for £275.

Which I paid for over the phone and a few days later someone goes shopping with my debit card details.

Coincidence?

Anyway, yes my specs are very nice, I just won’t be cleaning them with tissues/teatowels/my sleeve like I did with the last pair!

They’ll stay nice and new for years..

I've been on a diet for two weeks and all I've lost is two weeks.

Totie Fields

There’s a baby in the house.

But my mum has forbidden me from blogging about it..

Why?

Because she wants to!

How come dumb stuff seems so smart while you're doing it.

Dennis the Menace

After many hours of research (an exaggeration) and psychic powers (not really), I have managed to discover which game I have lost.

Who Wants to be a Millionaire

It’s not mine anyway.

I wouldn’t be seen dead with such rubbish in my collection!

It’s Mum’s only game.

I’ve now been officially invited to Jenni’s birthday going-ons. So, next week, I’ll be going to London. Whoop!!

I’m not a fan of travelling around London alone, but I managed it before, despite this weird German girl grinning manically at me on the tube for about 10 minutes solid.

I even had a really fit guy compliment me on my hairstyle. Very odd.

Still, it did take 5 hours to get from my front door to Middlesex Uni. I’ll try to be faster this time.

Anyway, my last trip to London was extremely memorable. It was Saturday 26th November 2005. Me, Jenni and Ray were in some pub in Finsbury Park, forget the name of it, watching Arsenal v Blackburn.

That was the day I fell for my Freddie. I’d always liked him. But something just went funny inside me and, since then, I’ve talked of little else.

Lets hope I don’t fall in love with someone new this time around, especially as the only football game we’ll be watching is the England one and I don’t really want to get jelly insides over one of THEM.

Now all I have to do is think of a good pressie for Jenni.

(She’ll be 25.. ssshh)

My video game clearout continues.

Except, digging around the back of my cupboard, I had to gasp in horror as one of them disappeared through the gap and into the void that is “behind the cupboard”

I’ll never see it again, will I..

And I don’t know which one it was, I can tell you what it wasn’t but it’ll take all day.

I bet it was the best game ever made that I was dying to play at some point but never got around to it..

Why oh why did I delete my list...

Ah yes.. it was ridiculously out of date.

On a happier note, just discovered that the digestives in our biscuit tin are actually chocolate ones! mmm...

You have to stay in shape. My grandmother, she started walking five miles a day when she was 60. She's 97 today and we don't know where the hell she is.

Ellen DeGeneres

Don't spend $2 to dry-clean a shirt. Donate it to the Salvation Army instead. They'll clean it and put it on a hanger. Next morning buy it back for 75 cents.

William Coronel

Got my new debit card this morning so you can all stop sending emergency money my way now. I’ve changed my PIN, you’d think the bank would do that anyway wouldn’t you..

I’ve taken a wander around the Charity shops, I bought an old PC game that’s still sealed in it’s box for £2 that I’m planning to resell for £50!

I sat on the bus and coughed, went to the Job Centre and coughed. I walked up the street coughing.

Oh and today was cold. I had to take my coat!

Aah so a productive morning. Well, more productive than usual, I am usually still in my pyjamas at this time!

Which do you think is nicer?

Cos I can tell you for a fact that's it's not the one I just consumed.. Silly mum, you can't ask her to buy anything can you..

I didn’t do anything constructive today until about 5pm, at which point, I decided to tidy my room. You know, with a duster and a hoover. Ugh. Before that I was finishing reading Deep Heat. I was quite happy with it actually. The last 1/3 of the book was pretty gripping stuff. Well, gripping for chick lit trash at least.

So, I’ve packed away my desk fan as it’s “winter” now so won’t need it for a while..

My lovely flowers my sister gave me are dying, but they’re still pretty so I haven’t chucked them yet.

I wiped my router to within an inch of it’s life as it’s been playing up lately and keeps booting my mum’s laptop off the net. And that’s my fault, apparently.

It’s also causing me to lose no end of Pro Evo games! AJ takes advantage of my freezing players and next thing I know, I’m behind. It shouldn’t be like that!

So, I’ve decided to switch broadband supplier, I’m being overcharged by Pipex anyway. They’re still billing me by their old high prices while all the happy new customers get the same, or, better/faster service as cheap as chips.

Not even a hint of loyal customer bonus with that company then.

So far, Tiscali look the best, but then again, I’ve only looked at them and Plus.net Any recommendations welcome.

Oh yes, and I'm still coughing but I won't moan about that anymore. It's boring!

It's the good girls who keep the diaries (blogs?), the bad girls never have the time.

Tallulah Bankhead

It's bedtime, well.. almost

And tonight’s latest “cough remedy” Google search suggests a cup of hot milk and honey.. Well, there was a lot of other stuff but I don't have apple cider vinegar to sprinkle on my pillow.. or almonds to soak overnight and do weird things to in the morning.

At least I’ve found out where this evil bitch came from.

Jenni’s mum made the mistake yesterday to ask how I was..

“Oh I’m fantastic. But I suggest you fumigate your house when I leave because you’ll all probably be ill next week.”

I then reeled off the fact that I’d spent 18 hours in bed every day all week, I’d had a sore throat for most of it and now I was left with the evil bitch cough from hell.

I bet she wished she didn’t ask. I didn’t like her response though..

“Oh I had the exact same thing the week before last!”

Then she had a good ol’ cough.

Thanks.. No Christmas presents for you this year..!!

I just can't stop watching it..

Oh and he talks in this clip too.. mmmm...

I got up at 10 today. Early for someone who isn't getting to sleep until the birds sing. I could’ve slept longer but the phone decided to ring. As I’ve not been sleeping too well lately, I’d had the sense to move my phone into another room but I could still hear it ringing.. just.

Didn’t get there in time though, The message on the answerphone was from my bank’s fraud detection team. I’ve made a few large withdrawals and purchases over the last week or two so figured that they were just checking. They’ve done it before.

But no.

The guy on the phone was trying to confirm some transactions with me. “Have you topped up your phone lately?” What phone network do you use?” I was quite confused really. But he was just trying to figure out the last time I’d used my card. Thing is, the last time I’d topped up my phone was last Tuesday or something..!

Since then.. or.. sometime over those next days, some lovely person has been using my card details on betting sites and buying London travelcards or something.

In fact, according to my statement, they’ve spent at least 500quid.

They’ve managed to stop all the transactions that appeared fraudulent, I just have to keep checking my statement to make sure it all adds up and nothing odd shows up on it.

I also have to spend the whole week without a debit card. Ah. Fun for me..

Nothing like this has ever happened before. In fact, it’s pretty scary. I’m really careful with my details so I haven’t come to any conclusion as to how they managed to get ahold of them! The last time I used my card was a cash withdrawal on Saturday, I didn’t check my balance then, I can’t usually read the displays properly anyway, I’ve heard of card cloning from ATMs or something so, did it start then?

The bank man said it was probably an internet interception but.. ah I don’t know. I never respond to those phishing scams, I haven’t really bought anything online with my card lately. It doesn’t make sense at all

I’m quite impressed that the bank has managed to pick it up. I do check my statements online often as I like to know how much little money I have..

So, this is just a warning to you all to please be careful.. Oh, and if you feel like sending me some money to my Paypal account...

I drink to make other people interesting.

I think I blogged too much yesterday.

So, today. You won’t get anything else from me. Hah.

It was another night of coughing.. it’s annoying how in the morning and early afternoon, it’s not that bad. but late afternoon and evening it is wicked and evil.

I got up too close to 1pm today. I had a weird dream about teaching small children how to cross the road. I really don’t think I’m the best person to ask. I used to run blindly across them when I lived in Portsmouth.

So all I’ve done today so far, apart from the essentials like eat and shower, I’ve turned over my calendar to October, it’s not such a good picture as September. But it means we are closer to the delicious Freddie of December.

I’m going around Jenni’s in a few minutes, She’s moving into her new flat tomorrow so this really really is the last time I’ll see her for a bit.

If history repeats itself, I should think we can expect the same thing again.
