THEY'RE HOLDING HANDS!

*iz ded*

HOLY FUCK!

AAAAH!

The dog just stole my cheque book! It's not enough that he has a sock and underwear fetish, now he's after my money as well!

Naughty boy! Not a toy!

Tell you what I'll do, I'd like to go there now with you

So as it turns out, once you've removed all the plastic bottles, coke cans, cardboard boxes and newspapers from my bedroom floor, there's really not much left to tidy lol. It really is just all rubbish (/recyclables). Oh, and coat hangers. I'm quite convinced that 80% of the UK's coat hanger population lives in my bedroom.

I've been ill this past week. At first dad thought I had the flu, but when I started having a ridiculously hard time trying to breathe we concluded that it was actually probably more like an allergic reaction to something. Joy. Meh. I'm feeling a little bit better today, though all the dust i'm inhaling probably isn't helping any. Also, in the midst of the moving things about, I have infact lost my Strepsils.

See, tidying is bad for you :P

If you don't think this is one of the cutest things EVER, then there is something seriously wrong with you :P

I'm feeling a little better now. Mostly cos i've been playing with the hamster and eating Jaffa Cakes, of which I do appreciate the irony.

That's okay, I don't really need to shower

Spider in the bath! Spider in the bath! SPIDER IN THE BATH!!!! *shrieks*

Edit: Behind the cut is a 600x800 close-up picture of said spider. If you are a big spider scaredy-cat (joyee, i'm talking about you), don't click on it!

Glowing eyes? EVIL!

There was an armed robbery in the village this morning.

Tesco.

We're not talking big Tesco here, we're talking little Tesco, the tiniest Tesco you ever did see.

a very good reason why you should always shop online, and being a security guard is just stupid :P

Edit: And there's a piece up about it on the Northern Echo website. According to my dad there are CSIs there right at this very moment. So trying to stop myself for walking down there to have a look lol.

I'm going shoppiiiiiiiing!

Sun, 11 Feb 2007 22:02:39 GMT

I'm off to Eldon Square tomorrow. Shopping! YEY! Unfortunately we're leaving at 9am so i've to be up really early, and we won't be back til maybe 3 or 4pm so I fear I may have a dog-mess situation to clean up in the hall when we get back :P

It's also actually my first trip to Newcastle. I know, I suck at being a North-Easterner :x

I'm so taking my camera with me :P Observing Geordies in their natural habitat lol. It'll be like bird watching, only with real life people :D

I want to go on the train. Daddy says no :( I want to take a picture of the Angel. Daddy says we'll turn off before then :(

I suddenly want to go to the Metro instead :P

It is any wonder i'm tired? Is it any wonder that I feel uptight?

I'm gonna sell the hamster to a circus, he'd be awesome on the flying trapeze :P

Who needs TV with entertainment like that? I didn't mention that did I? The freeview remote has gone walkies. I have a feeling the dog's nicked it. I dropped it on the floor (my bed's about 5ft off the floor) and I looked down at it and thought meh, i'll get it in the morning. Then, when I woke up, it was gone. So i'm stuck with channels 1 - 5 and QVC until I can find the damn thing.

He's so cute, just swinging about. I wish the dog could find some way to entertain himself like that :P

I have an session with Angela on Monday at 2:00pm and a check-up with Dr. Thornham on Friday at - get this - 8:40am. Fun stuff. I still haven't gained any weight. It's getting frustrating.

Angela gave me some sites to look at but I only just got round to it; Five Areas and Living Life to the Full.

Living Life to The Full On-line is a powerful new life skills resource. The course has been written by a psychiatrist who has many years of experience using a Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) approach and also in helping people use these skills in everday life. During the development phase of the course, each module has been used by a wide range of health care practitioners and members of the public. Joining and using the site is entirely free - with thanks to sponsorship from the Centre for Change and Innovation at the Scottish Executive Health Department.

It actually looks kind of interesting.

I'm ascared :(

Okay, so yesterday it snowed, this morning it rained, and now? It's hailing.

Apocalypse?

Fried Green Tomatoes? Giant Ripe Bananas.

Tue, 23 Jan 2007 19:44:48 GMT

No, seriously, you could BEAT SOMEONE TO DEATH! with one of those things!

I am so easily entertained :P I tried to club my dad over the head with it, but hammers work so much better :P

Do ignore my just-woke-up hair, as I have indeed just woke up. At 7pm. Shut it :P

Snow all goned :( Well, kinda, It hasn't actually melted properly on our side of the road, so you still might manage to kill yourself to you try to go anywhere. Woe.

Just a little late, the weather lady said Saturday...

Tue, 23 Jan 2007 06:38:12 GMT

Would you believe that it's snowing?

Would you also believe that I didn't notice? :P

OMGZ!

Tue, 23 Jan 2007 00:36:30 GMT

I've fallen in love with some Playboy branded underwear (The pink ones). I just have to have them. HAVE TO!

Please, somebody shoot me.

The only consolation would be that with them being under my clothes, no one would ever actually know that I had sank so low. It'd be our little secret :P

Shhh :P

In other news, my dad bought me some more bananas today (because I ate them all again lol) and they are clearly some kind of giant ~~teenage~~ mutant ~~ninja~~ bananas.

I almost died from the excitement :P

Mommy! I'm stuck!

Mon, 22 Jan 2007 19:09:46 GMT

Now, i'm not normally one to laugh hysterically when an animal gets itself into a precarious situation, but my God was it funny :P

Naturally I had to take pictures before I unstuck him :P (In my defence they were very hurried pics, hence the fugly flash)

That's my big brave boy!

Mon, 15 Jan 2007 00:29:28 GMT

Max just tried to catch a mouse! I'm so proud of him lol. He normally just barks to let me know he's heard something down there, but today he legged it down the stairs and chased it down the kitchen. I was quite impressed :P

The hamster's watching me type. It's unnerving :P

Sun, 14 Jan 2007 01:00:43 GMT

My TT280 course materials arrived today. Blimey, look at the size of that feckin' book!

*waits*

Viiiiiideos

Fri, 12 Jan 2007 20:51:48 GMT

You can do it! You can do it!

Bless his heart :P That's what the ramp is for :P

Max goes a bit loopy

The voice you can hear is me saying. "Get down" and "See, the hamster isn't making that bloody noise" :P

It's all so BIG!

Fri, 12 Jan 2007 15:48:18 GMT

I've been attempting to get a hamster's eye view of Houdini's cage so I can see the world the way he does, and i've come to the conclusion that being a hamster would really freak me out :P They have really crappy eyesight though, so I guess that makes it better :P

You're tired of all the pictures, right? :P

Ladies and Gents, meet Houdini

Guess who gots herself a hamster :P I'll give you a clue: ME!

Got it yet? :P

Mon hair, pre-haircut

Tue, 09 Jan 2007 12:35:59 GMT

Having my hair cut at 2:30pm. A little bit scared, if i'm honest :P

I do feel kinda mean though :x

Sun, 07 Jan 2007 17:01:21 GMT

lol, poor Maxy. I decided to have a few grapes and as soon as he heard the bag rustling he leapt up off the floor and sat in front of me to have a little bit of a beg. He knows he's not allowed grapes so I shoved the two I had into my mouth, held my hands up and said, "All gone". Well he looked rather pointedly up at the bag on the desk and back at me as if to say "Don't lie to me, bitch, there's a whole bag of them up there." :P

He's sulking now :P
