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!

I was starting to think I wasn’t cool enough to be invited onto their lists. Everyone else has had them!

Oh yes.. would've done better if I knew what long words meant!!

(and it says I'm pretty! Awww...)

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!D

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 ideaD

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!
