Do you remember my chinchilla, Marcelo? The one I said lived in my underpants. Well, he died this morning. I had to take him to the vet to have his teeth cut, but he couldn't cope with the anaesthetic. It's always a risk with such a small animal, but I'm absolutely gutted. He had been so lively recently but he was clearly uncomfortable with his ( Read more... )

Woohoo, back to uni tomorrow after a year of my life wasted. Can't wait. Should mean fun (and drunk) times ahead. Only worry is the 10'000 dissertation I have to do. Still, at least I have about 8 months to do it. :p

Merry Christmas everyone

I have decided to take a break from the internet for a long while for various personal reasons. Not that I've been around much lately anyway, but there you go. So this will be my last entry in this livejournal which, frankly, has all been a bit dull anyway. :p I also won't be returning to Ran's board, probably ever because it's pretty crap these ( Read more... )

The University Summer Ball was yesterday. It was a pretty good time, though only a couple of friends came out with me. This time I didn't get ill from the rides, so that was definitely an improvement, and I had fun, mostly in the afternoon before the Ball actually started ( Read more... )

I ordered four books from Amazon and they have just arrived. Having just finished Guy Gavriel Kay's Sailing to Sarantium, I will of course read Lord of Emperors first as it follows directly on from it. But which shall I read after that?

The Lions of Al-Rassan is also by GGK, so that may be a logical place to start. But then I also kind of feel like ( Read more... )

Something weird is happening in my life. I'm getting one, for a start. I seem to be making friends right, left and centre. Went to a "sleepover" with a friend from work yesterday and met a couple of his mates and got on really well with them. So now I have a group of friends in my home town and at uni. I don't think I've ever been so popular ( Read more... )

Remind me to never, ever drink any alcohol again. Ever. The day started out fun but I don't want to end a birthday the way I ended that one again. Plus apparently I rang someone and said something I shouldn't have done, although I can't remember any of that. Whether I did or not, she hasn't replied to my texts yet. Bugger ( Read more... )

The book I've been looking forward to the most is now mine! I am caressing it right now (the book, nothing else). I passed up a chance to go out tonight for a birthday bash to read this. Hopefully it will be finished by Wednesday so I can go out then instead.

*settles down to do some serious reading*

Well, Marcelo has made a full recovery from his operation yesterday and is back to his old self, I managed to write over 2500 words of my book yesterday and I have an interview about a possible work placement on Thursday. It has been a very good couple of days.
