KNEE JERK FRENZY

I woke up this morning and the entire bottom half of my room is flooded.

I'm now short about £20 of food, need to wash all the clean laundry that was waiting to be put away and only time will tell if my rollerskates ever stop smelling of damp water :/ There was some art ruined, and a small canvas, but thankfully the work was just aborted drafts and the canvas was about 60p. More concerned about all the food I lost and how long this'll take to fix. You can smell damp all over the room, and have had to open all my windows and put those horrific smelling air freshners in. Just what I needed, really. And this is the 'deluxe room'.

I hate the word 'pudding'. I mean, I can say it if I don't think about it, but if I've had time to fret over the word I just can't bring myself to utter it. Pudding. Urgh, I hate 'P' words, like 'polish', too, but for some reason I'm fine with Pope, Pony, Polygamy.

Just had the biggest heart attack looking at my bank account! £70 for webhosting, yeesh. £7 a monthish :( That's as much as I pay for Warcraft, but still... one day it will be beautiful because £70 will be nothing, but for now I have to figure out how I'm going to live on £190 for the next 3 months.

Jackie says (23:48):
Grandma's dad was in the navy during the war but apparently refused to talk about it to anyone.
Grandads dad must have been but i don't know any stories
as you can imagine - talking wasn't overly encouraged in our family!
... says (23:49):
yeah, i figured as much : (
so both sides of the family were in the navy?
Jackie says (23:50):
aye
merchant navy
... says (23:54):
8D
i was going to ask what the merchant navy did in the wars, but i assume google will have more answers, haha
Jackie says (23:55):
the merchantnavy ferried supplies around to all the royal navy ships
... says (23:55):
boooooriiing 8) but also good for the family genetic survival rates
Jackie says (23:56):
well no boring really -they were still in the dangerous areas providing naval ships with fuel and stuff so they were still at risk of being shot at!
... says (00:00):
yeah, yeah. that was pretty jerky (sorry ancestors!)
... says (00:01):
but in my defense it also doesn't hold so much impact when you say AS SOMEONE WHOSE ANCESTORS FERRIED SUPPLIES TO THE ROYAL NAVY I AM OFFENDED BY THIS
Jackie says (00:01):
lol
make something up - say they were all pirates!
... says (00:02):
damn it, ma! 8D
... says (00:03):
that was were you were supposed to step in and say BE PROUD OF YOUR ANCESTORS, KIDS TODAY
not encourage me in pirate fraud!
Jackie says (00:03):
:P
... says (00:03):
but you know, if i have your blessing i will now commence saying that they were pirates
i mean, i've been in devon enough, i can do the accent
Jackie says (00:04):
as long as you don't actually start pirating ...
... says (00:04):
what if it is the adorable, buccaneer pirating where i steal from the spanish crown
Jackie says (00:05):
adorable?
... says (00:06):
adorable!
Jackie says (00:06):
well, all right then.

What would you do if you have a year to live?

Spend £50 on those penny machines at the seaside that pushes the coins over the edge. Only wear clothes from 1500-1800. Make everyone called me Lord, Master, Queen, etc., swim in all my clothes in that lake in the Lake District that I really liked. Tell a sob story that gets me close enough to Rupert Everett, Hugo Weaving and, uh, I don't know... who is attractive lately? Cillian Murphy, so I can wail on them with kisses. Drink water from the Danube. Throw it up over an American tourist. Knit enough that everyone who comes to my funeral gets to have a poorly made, neon blanket to wrap themselves in. Finally finish Oblivion. Get the words 'Womb, Handler, Helmet, Sword, Weiss' and 'Trepan' tattooed on my back. Hammer nails into a wall so neatly you can't get them out again. Kiss all my friends over and over. Slap someone hard enough with a backhand that they fall over. Buy suspicious shopping (bin bags, knives, alcohol, sleeping pills, nut cracker, a bag of oranges). Remember a poem in German. See the Jelling stones. Eat a copy of Twilight, then regurgatate it out in front of Stephanie Mayer. Learn the keytar properly. Shout out a sequence of random words at Soapbox Corner, have several plants throughout the day shout out various counter-arguements like I'm making sense.

A lot more, but just those off the top of my head.

I love this man.

I woke up at 8a.m from the worst sleep. I dropped the book I was reading on my back on my face (Damn it, de Kooning collected works!) and then in the middle of the night, I must have got my foot tangled around my lamp wire, as the lamp, Marlowe's Complete Plays and Assassin's Apprentice fell onto me. Marlowe hit my right in the neck, I can't even begin to tell you how much it hurt! 

It's now pretty hard to think of vampires as being all romantic when I think about how much it hurt, the corner of a book slamming into my neck, let alone the crushing power of a set of supernatural jaws.

Do you want to know what the highlight of October was? I bought a really expensive mouthwash and it's worked crazy well.

Happy you-were-walking-home-from-a-bonfire-and-you-got-shot-in-the-face-by-some-punk-kid, now-you're-scarred-for-life, day! Hope everyone's remembering that one time we foiled a dude from blowing up our king or something!

(But seriously, everyone keep safe! Last year in my village a kid did actually fire a firework at me, though luckily it missed by about a half metre and I was wearing a thick winter coat, and I've heard 7 (SEVEN!) ambulances go by in the past 2 hours)

Making a website is a lot harder then it was in the old geocities and tripod days when I could just slap things togethor in frontpage. MySQL databse connection details, installing things? What? I'm trying to use wordpress and Dreamhost on the understanding that they are 'easier'.

Pfffffffffffff.

Crazy slugs and their crazy beutiful genitals.

RIP GEOCITIES

what the children of tomorrow will do without crappy MS paint galleries about their favourite Dragonball Z character or FF VII I don't know :(

Pretty much how I've been feeling the past year. So I'm not wearing stupid shit anymore, I'm happier, I'm thinking more, and it doesn't feel like a marathon to get up in the morning.

Erika Moen's husband, Matthew Nolan, graduated from Teesside the other year! I probably saw his shit in Animex!

What are the odds.

i rollerskated for 3 hours with liz and tim without pads and how do i get a black nail?

slamming my little finger in a door on the way BACK.

I'm on dailybooth now. Now YOU can view how every day my hair has been looking more and more like tenticles.

Apprently they've found a chemical that stops ice crystals forming in the brain! Finally, I can put my head in a jar knowing that one day I'll-

"The nature of the injury caused by cryoprotectant exposure is currently unknown. We are hopeful that it is a relatively minor injury given that our solution compositions and exposure times are not radically different from the compositions and exposures known to permit complete functional recovery of kidneys in published research."

wait

they-

they hope?

Damn it, Alcor!

Still no internet :'(

The Sherlock Holmes books are one of the best things ever written. Watson is adorable and only a little bumbling! Not as much as he is in those Basil Rathbone films, that's for true.
