I cannot believe how utterly stupid / evil some people can be.

We have a large amount of crap piled up outside our door from the renovation of the houses next to us. We get a lot of people outside for various reasons, so I have no idea if any of them are meant to be there. 

Today I see a guy rummaging through the pile of crap, Scally seeing what he can get from renovation rubbish, I think.  Big, shaved head stabby kinda guy, I certainly wasn't going outside to chase him off. We leave shortly after and get annoyed that opening the bags has let the smell out, commence anger that we'll have to sort it out somehow.

We arrive home hours later...to be greeted by our neighbour, who is either stupidly tall, or has a box by his fence. We are then told how someone had ripped off 5-6 feet of copper piping from the gas main to nextdoor and left gas pumping out into the street!! We'd just missed several fire engines and the gas board vans. 

Super scary, we're just glad our neighbour is really on the ball and was in at the time. Anyone on our land without reason is getting an umbrella shafting in future.

Too good not to share! This is one messed up kid XD





In other news last week of real work!! Hand in whatever's done of my dissertation on Friday and drink away the memory!
Getting a hair cut in celebration, if all goes well I'll have pink highlights ^^

Japanese was a bit bizarre, for the first time ever I ran out of time on everything....yeah. Half way through our aural "time up". Kat and I just looked at each other with that baffled 'no way' expression. Fingers crossed, I needed that to bring up my mark :/

Making the excuse we'd only be out 10 mins and the fresh air would be good for us, we dropped our dissertations and headded into town...where we found an ICE CREAM VAN! 

Sitting in the sun with a breeze and an ice cream = best dissertation avoidance ever!

Just to tag on the last entry, I never knew horses could grow hair on their lip :/ There was a huge carthorse with a big curly Poirot mustache! Made me laugh for ages. "Je suis un cheval, madame". *twiddles mustache*

Had an ace chilled evening for Perrins 'Fake' birthday, with much Guitar Hero and beverages. A brief visit from Rei, Sven and Andy, but good to see you guys ^^

Today is maths and japanese, then whatever flash I can. Dissertation re-commences tomorrow.

Anyone know which hotels are pretty close to the Amecon site?

NB: Kat convinced me to do Luise Meyrick for the KoF group. Need to get me some blue makeup.

I haven't been riding for years now, and today I fled the pile of dissertation work to meet Harriets new horse Barney. He's a real character ^^

It's strange how things come back to you, the smells and noises of somewhere you only vaguely remember. I grew up working stable yards and it was like someone had injected me with insta-happy, I knew exactly where I was and what I was doing, and frankly I'm pretty ditzy at Uni, there's certainly nothing I feel so confident about in my activities now. 

I hadn't expected to ride at all, but when offered I jumped at the chance...However, as easy as it was to do the shovel work, I was shocked to find that I could only ride for 10 mins before being completely exhausted, I never realised how fit I must have been as a kid. Sitting in front of a comp all day munching choccies has clearly rendered me inert XD 
Admittedly it was a very hot day and a horse I wasn't used to, but 10 minutes is pretty pathetic even with that. Clearly horse riding is something you can't do for special occasions only.  At least I got a top notch day out, a bit of sun and more exercise than an IT student can handle

Best procrastination day ever :D

NB Must pass uni, get good job, afford riding! Yosh!

One for shinbios here: Papercraft Fun! 

These look pretty awesome to me. Paper Pyramid Head?! He rips the envelopes off letters!

Wooo thanks chris_coltranefor the online voucher tip! Just saved 10% on easter flowers for mum :D

Having to stay in Sheff till the dissertation is done. At least the program loads now, even if the building is half brick and half wood. Best house ever!

Can any fantastic person remember the name of the dealer in the far right hand corner of the dealers room at Minami (against the windows). I'm after a model for cosplay reference ^^

Thanks :D

I lost a necklace before Xmas and it's finally getting to me. Trawled ebay and can't find anything, so people we're on the lookout for:



Bought in Jacaranda many many years ago. Used to be plain versions of this everywhere, now not even a glimpse about.
If you see one please let me know :D

Thanks Mather for showing me this, I feel the whole world should get a peek XD

Flaming men wobble, they don't fall down!
