I'm just not cut out for bonsai tree ownership, I can't bring myself to trim Ian (the tree) because his new leaves show me that he's doing pretty okay. People kept giving me the impression that bonsai trees were stupidly delicate and die immediately out of spite, but Ian's doing fine. There were a couple close calls where he wilted a bit during the heatwave we had last week, but I nursed him back to health and now he's a strapping young tree!

Today I went swimming for the first time in ages, and after a few lengths there was a twinge in my leg and I suddenly remembered that you're supposed to stretch before exercise! And then there was cramp and I had to learn how to swim one-legged. Good fun all in all!

I also have a new hobby, which is collecting shitty toys from pound shops. Anything that has those magical words 'Made in China' on them are fair game. They make some pretty amazing shite there.

( Only two items in my collection at the moment but I think they're pretty fabulous )

Only two so far, but I will be forever on the lookout for more!

in a new house, have a new job, going into third year of uni in october this year.. that's about it, really.

The job is just working in a small café in the local park, but any job that lets me sit in the sun on my break and feed squirrels little biscuits is okay by me.

This is my favourite person of the now. Oh my god.

You're not edgy or cool for saying you don't care that Michael Jackson is dead and that you never liked him anyway. Just shut the fuck up already, okay, patrons of LiveJournal?

oh my god I am having NO LUCK recently, someone just tried to steal $300 from my paypal account. luckily paypal caught it, reversed it and locked my account down.

Fucking hell!

and congrats NOOOOORWAY I guess

yeah I would say that's pretty accurate

if you only play one dinosaurs/lasers game this year, let it be this one

yes

So, I have an interview next week. I am of course terrified.

I drew something, click the preview for the full version:



This was a lot of fun to do and was relatively quick too, which is nice.

And uh. What else.

I dunno!

As much as I've voiced my dislike of Jade Goody, I am so sorry that she has died. 27 is far too young to die, and she leaves two little boys without a mother on mother's day. That is utterly heartbreaking.

In case anybody was wondering, BBC TV Licensing are fuckin' shysters. I am so angry right now.

I think brits need to wake up and realise what is going on here, I don't understand how a scam of this magnitude just passes under the radar. No doubt the BBC is paying much of its lucrative license fee on ensuring that any potential debate on the legality of their actions is quashed immediately.

Basically, the BBC are trying to scare me and thousands of other people into paying for something we don't have to. They do this by playing mind-games, threatening legal action and tricking you into thinking they have a right to enter your home and investigate. They don't.

How dare they send out frightening, bullying and threatening letters to people who are doing no wrong. I don't have a TV license because I don't need one.

happy everybody's irish day

My dad has worked for this company for donkey's years, and as an engineer instructor at that particular plant for years also.

Funny how they just opened a factory in Poland. Jesus fuck, Britain, what is going ON?
