Moved to Dreamwidth
Hello f-list.
I realised I'd forgotten to tell the two people who are not on synergetic that I moved to dreamwidth. I'm sorry about that, and I'm the same username over there as here! Most of my entries are crossposted to synergetic only, and that's mainly to avoid spamming those who are on both. I'm still alive and doing ok and I hope you are too :)

Driving Theory Test Pass!
In a complete reversal of fortune from my last post, I passed my driving theory test some three weeks ago. The wait to tell anyone about it is because my parents were doing a mad rush to finish Mayoral duties and then went on holiday. Then I got flu ( Read more... ) -

(Untitled)
I have to write a biography of my grandmother for use in the funeral service which will be happening Thursday next week. I am writing it because for once the habit of writing blog posts in my head proved useful, and when my parents found out they had to get a biography, I already had the seeds of one in my head ( Read more... ) -
So yeah...
I had one of those "please, I don't want to get out of bed" moments this morning, so I got up very late. Despite this, I still managed to phone up the web hosting company I got my domain from and ask them about IMAP servers to host my parent's email. I also returned a library book. Deadline for both was 5pm. Definite win ( Read more... ) -
Coldplay - Viva La Vida
Far be it from me to jump on popular culture, but the latest Coldplay song has stuck in my head and I've been listening to it on repeat all night.
I suppose for me its the way that one song has managed to capture all the glory and tragedy of human history in its pulse. I can almost see the sweeping armies thunder through the enemy, the new order ( Read more... ) -
New Year
I've come back from a very good New Year spent in Oxford. Since getting back I've managed to get my Wii Fit fix. I managed to finish the table-balance game and set a new top score for heading the ball thanks to playing it at awroe's (everything else was less good). My weight fell sharply (even with Pebbles trying to climb up my skirt at the time of ( Read more... ) -
Burn Notice
My dad got bored with watching CSI for the fifth time (no, really, you have seen all the CSIs dad, accept this) so he put on Burn Notice, a new show that was starting on FX two months past that he'd recorded, just when I came downstairs after getting back from sorting my grandparent's affairs out (it's cold out there, but invigorating, by bike ( Read more... )
