Some things that have happened:
- Dumbledore is gay. Apparently. Was I the only one who didn’t see that coming? I’m still trying to decide whether JK decided this whilst she was writing or just after when she started running out of things to tell the press. Apparently it has made the angry Christians even angrier about the books though and anything that makes them cross makes me happy.
- Â My stomach issues have now reached such irritating proportions that I may remove my entire digestive system with a butter knife.
- Phantom Hourglass has come out and I don’t own it yet. I will though. Very soon.
I am also loving Stephen Fry’s new blog. It’s nice to read such honest writing from someone so painfully interesting. Perhaps one day I will have that many interesting stories to tell. Minus the manic depression and drug addiction though, I hope.
I still have no idea what I want to do with my life. I have been thinking almost non-stop since my last post and I don’t know! My ideas are as follows:
- Something to do with food, but probably not a chef.
- Food writer.
- Lion tamer.
- Monkey butler.
Unfortunately, the last two aren’t even real ideas. So I’m a bit stuck because I’m not really that good at writing and I have no idea where I can go to learn about food. Also, if I try to do either of those things I’ll probably give up because I’m a big fat quitter.
Still… Phantom Hourglass should be good.
Not really. But I do have the Reeves and Mortimer song in my head.
 I’m going on holiday on Sunday - how exciting! I’m going to Cyprus with Dunc to visit his Mum and it’s going to be dead warm and things which will be nice.
The tax man gave me some money back the other day as well, so I can afford a GBA SP for my travels. I’ll be able to play old gameboy games which is a bit cool. My brother’s lent me Pokemon red and yellow so I’m going to play those on the plane. And I’m getting a new ipod tomorrow. I’ve been spoiled by the good people in the income tax office. Perhaps they’ll buy me that pony I’ve always dreamed of…
Hmm… This isn’t very interesting is it? Sorry. I feel like death warmed up and I’m on my lunch at work wishing I could go home but I can’t because you can’t take the day before your holidays off work poorly as they automatically assume you’re skiving.
Perhaps I will delete this post when I think of something good to say.
Things which have annoyed me recently:
Walkers and Tesco have changed their crisps and now they’re not as crunchy and they taste a bit weird. Apparently they’ve made them healthier, but I don’t really see the point in trying to make something healthy when is so clearly meant to be unhealthy. Bastards. I may need to find a new snack of choice, but that is easier said than done as I am hopelessly addicted to crisps.
That stupid hair advert with that man on it with the stupid annoying face.
That is all.
I don’t think much has really happened since I last blogged, which is a bit upsetting because it’s been so long.
I got a job eventually, working in the call centre of a place which sells water gardens. Then I got a new job in the same place as the assistant buyer (promotion after 2 months there – skills) which is lots better and means I don’t have to talk to the general public which is nice.
The cat is now quite large and is made from pure evil. We think he might actually be a bit mentally ill because of how weird he is. He’s not allowed outside yet, which could be contributing but I think he’s just horrible and likes attacking people (me in particular).
Not entirely sure what else has happened. I’ve had some housemates. Duncan has moved in. The house is messy.
I finally bought and started reading Lord of the Rings (I’m fully aware of how bad it is that I haven’t read them up until now) and so far not that much has happened. They went on a walk for a bit and now they’re lost in a forest. I’m hoping something epic will happen soon, perhaps a helicopter explosion.
This is a weird blog post. I need to get back into the swing of it, so I will try to write more regularly than never and hopefully it will all be alright…
This is Hobbes. After being completely adamant that I was getting a rescue cat that no-one else wanted, I have somehow caved to Duncan and got a kitten. He is the cutest thing in the world though. At the moment he’s clawing my leg, which is not so cute.
As you may have guessed I’m still jobless. I have applied for a job in a deli though, which I really really want. I’d be able to work with food all day! Also, I’m thinking I might want to own my own deli when I’m older so it would be good experience. And if I hate it then that’s another career option I can cross off the list. I’m beginning to think I should have an actual list and not a metaphorical one…
I signed on today. The shame. You can do it online now though, so I was spared the walk to the Job Centre. I’m hoping the free money will make up for the fact that I can’t get myself a job. £47 a week - that’s enough for anyone to live on… If that person happened to have no home and no outgoings at all.
Other than that, I haven’t been posting much because there hasn’t been much to say. The cat was dangled in front of me and then cruelly taken away. However, I will have a cat if it kills me. I’m hoping the cat I get won’t kill me though…
In the meantime, I have a Siamese fighting fish called Trevor Macdonald. He’s rather cool.
