O....k

Strange dream last night where I was an MP. We were gathering for this big meeting and I was having a jokey banter with both a Labour and a Tory MP. Then we went inside and I ended up sat next to the Queen

Uh...right

Stuff

Ooh, shopping is tiring, especially when it isn't for anything fun.

Realised on the way home that this is the last month of council tax until May. WOO HOO! That'll leave me £70 a month better off for a couple of months which means it's time to go clothes shopping for the cruise when I get paid next. Don't want to spend loads as I still have to put together the cash for the excursions and my spending money

So far I think I need

1 formal evening dress
1 bikini
1 bottle sun cream
3 pairs shorts/skirts
1 pair shoes to go with gold dress
1 bottle insect spray
1 memory card for digital camera

Grar!

PC World have just written to be to tell me my computer is due its annual health check. However, how am I supposed to take it up to my local store (which is miles away) when I don't have a car?

D'oh!

Aww!

This e mail I just got really touched me :)

~Hils,

I don't want to be "the freaky girl who harrases you via email," but I was wondering if you might be interested in joining a writer's group. It's difficult to find people who are both talented writers and interested in cult television. Most of my writing has been in the fantasy department, although I have written a few stories concerning Buffy and The X-Files.

We don't have an actual group just yet--there's really only me and one other girl. But I was really impressed with your creation of a season 8 for Buffy and thought I'd give it a shot at asking you to join us. I'm in the process of finishing up an English degree and writing a fantasy novel--so busy doesn't even begin to describe my life. But I know for a fact that writers don't get enough support from other writers.

If you're interested fabulous, if not we'll be sad. No matter what I'll still be a fan of your fanfic.

Save us all!

Sorry for the spammage but I just HAD to share this story that was posted on mock_the_stupid. It was just painful to read

Okay, I've met some ignorant people in my life, but today...well I was surprised to say the least. I was in my Lit class and we were talking about the Bill of Rights, specifically the eighth amendment's protection against cruel and unusual punishment. Well somehow we got onto the subject of Abu Ghraib (yea it's old, I know but somehow we started discussing it). The professor asked, "How many of you think what happened at Abu Ghraib was cruel and unusual punishment?" The majority of the class raised their hand, but one girl looked confused and asked, "Abu what? Isn't Abu the monkey from Aladdin?" Yea that's right, she thought we were talking about Aladdin. After a very brief explanation from the prof., the girl decided to respond again, "Well, what's so bad about torturing people? As long as we get that guy we're looking for it should be okay." So we all look at her like she's nuts. One person goes, "We ALREADY got Saddam." She looked over, "Well duh, we didn't get him. He died when he flew that plane into that building in New York." The professor couldn't stop laughing and he dismissed us early. This girl is in college, so by now she has to be at LEAST 18...you'd think she'd be a little more educated.

Meh

Had a nap for an hour and actually feel more tired than I did before I went to sleep *shrug*

Oh, how embarassing

We went to see Assault on Precinct 13 tonight (which was good), but the moment of embarassment came during the ads before the film. It was a Motorola ad that I was only half paying attention to but as it got to the end I realised there was something VERY familiar about the voiceover man. I looked as Jacqui and we both squeed 'Jack!!' Yes, I had a fangirly moment in a cinema, watching a film that had NO connection whatsoever with my current obsession *sigh* Felt very embarassed afterwards. Someone needs to tell Jack Davenport to stop doing sneaky things like adverts.


In other news Susan and Mike had their first kiss in Desperate Housewives. YAY!!!

Someone posted a drawing they'd done of Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka....wearing nothing but his hat. DUDE! I'm all in favour of Johnny Depp Pr0n but I draw the line at a childrens book character. It just doesn't seem right....

Oh dear

After drbillbongo and I both posted silly rants about Orlando Bloom a community was suggested. So, I bring you orlando_rants. I should point out now it's just for silly ranting like the one I posted here. No real nastiness intended
