Help! I'm looking for a community that offers the Dream Width invite codes up. I've got another two going spare and they may as well go to someone who wants them. If you know anyone, or know the community I mean, please comment! On an unrelated matter they need unique views....

I always blame Painless J for these things. She had Dragons on her journal, I went and clicked and wanted one now the same thing has happened again.     I have absolutely no idea how to get them to hatch but I'll click yours if you click mine...? |

I was contacted recently by Coco.lol asking if she could translate a couple of my fics. Obviously I was and am rather honoured and am pleased to provide the link to Chevalier sans sommeil or Sleepless Knights. As I learnt German in secondary school, I cannot read one word in three and understand it but hey if you are clever, or perhaps French, please check it out! In any case many thanks to Coco for being kind enough to translate my fics! |

 So uh. You can see I have made my decision. It is like £5,000 cheaper than going to Oz and safe to say the whole trip would cost over half a years wage. Which isn’t the best idea in the current financial climate. Anyway. I am extremely excited and despite the fact I cannot seem to get hold of ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small} wreckplunderer , I am hoping to see the fen.Where I am going: • Flying to Los Angles and staying for 1 night in Santa Monica • Driving over to Palm Springs (staying in Rancho Mirage for 3 nights I think!) and having 2 spa treatments • Driving over to San Diego and staying in Coronado for 3 nights again (I think, but as it was only booked yesterday so I may be wrong!) • Driving back to LAX and taking an internal flight to Boston • Wheee new place! • Staying at Back Bay for I assume another 3 days. Heh. So I need a proper plan of where I’m going which would help but! Does anyone want to meet me if you are in the area? I’m not too scary. Scatty perhaps but not scary. I’ll even bring treats of your choice. Malteasers and proper Cadbury chocolate are good ones but I am capable of bringing anything like that across the pond. Anyone interested? *Cuddles and kisses and joyful excitement* |

My dad has once again asked if I want to go on holiday with him and his partner Jen. They are planning on going to both American and Australia and I can only go on one of these trips. Australia will cost over £7,000 for 3 weeks and US £2,500 for 10 days BUT! I’ve been to America for 2 years on the trot and I do love it. Especially San Diego which if I could live anywhere, it would be there. It doesn’t change the fact however that I’ve been there already and I should travel when I’m young and can do so. I need your help. Pro’s and Con’s anyone? A decision needs to be made and mph! Can’t I win the lottery and just not have to choose between the two! |

I know that you can read a lot of yourself into quizzes like these but hey the results are pretty spot on: *Smiles* Apparently I'm: Aesthetic Original Warm Understanding Scrupulous Tender Empathetic Emotional Innovative Competent Which is a lovely list of things to be. Oh and another thing. I've seen two NASA space shuttles over the garden this week. Weirdly I keep putting on the local news who warn me and the sky is clear enough to see them! Wow! |

Do you ever just sit there pressing refresh, waiting hopefully that the next chapter of your new addictive fic is up? I know full well there will not be another chapter up today.... But I wants it now! *Shoves the laptop away and trys to go to sleep* On a completely seperate point - Lookie I haves a gold dragon! I couldn't believe I was quick enough to snatch it off the 'Abandoned' page!

It may not come as any surprise to anybody but I’ve found that the people make the job. I used to enjoy my job. It may not be exciting or mind blowing or anything but it’s usually good. Now however, as soon as I passed my car test, my supervisor hates me. I used to go in and out of work with her and give her petrol money but now she doesn’t get that. She talks about me to my colleagues, whinges and badmouths me, not only when I’m not there but when I’m bloody sat there on the phone. But her problem is not how I do my job, or how I treat people or anything remotely whinge worthy. No. She was talking about me. She deliberately is trying to get me to do a juniors job (IE. Filing for a different department), despite me being there for 4 years in October and being an Account Hander and dealing with more bloody work than she seems to do. I don’t swear often but all the words in my vocabulary in regards to her start with an F. God sake. My other, nice colleagues, say I should go to the director but I don’t think I want to go above her head and her say horrible things about me to him. Are there any jobs in the San Diego area? Perfect for a tall, paler than pale, English, 22 year old? I’d give anything to go and live out there. The only thing that stops me is my mum. I can’t leave her, her heart would break. Listen to Shine by Laura Isabor and that first verse is me. Honest to god. |

I haven’t got to work today… There’s 4 or more inches of snow and the council hasn’t grit the roads. I left the house and nearly hit a car and I’m bloody terrified of driving in snow now. Some people got into work but I’ve spoken to a couple of people in my department and it’s not safe out there. I may be able to get to work (in the end) but how am I supposed to get home? It’s still snowing! I haven’t seen snow this thick here, I live in South West England and usually it’s the North East and Scotland who get this weather so I’m not used to it. Beautiful and dangerous but it’s given me a day off work and I’m not going in! I’ve never taken a sick day so this is my reward!  Anyway, it's pretty and I'm tired so I'm going to have a nap now! |

My newest eggies. Two are my own bred one's and the other two Seasonal eggs, I just had to have. You know how it is...! ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ Hatch little ones, you know you want to. On a completely different note, despite eating Christmas Dinner and chocolate and whatever else all day, I'm starving! Mind you it's twenty past midnight and I'm always hungry at this time of night. Talk about tempted to wander downstairs and see what I can find, but the thought I'd have to brush my teeth again stops me. Eh, hope my dear flist is enjoying the holidays. I don't have to work until next Friday so I definately am! |

So, I've now got quite the brood. Mind you, out of 7 adults, only 1 of them is a boy! Doesn't really help with the breeding programme really!  *~* *~* *~* I haven't posted them onto the 'Dragon Spam' community as I haven't had time to click on everyone else's and it'd be unfair to ask people to click on my little guys when I haven't (yet) clicked on theirs. My flist I will poke at, just because I'm under no such obligation here. Of course if you post yours, I click. Though as I've been told, I do need to comment more often so people know that! Canis sweetheart, I will reply to your post. I will! I just need to get some sleep first and go to work in the morning. I should however, spend lunchtime in work, so will reply then! My Scroll for anyone who get's amused my getting stuck on a naming theme. Naming them is difficult! And my male! God his name is Bluebell! Poor lad would be teased if he ever met Norbert! I'd like to defend myself by saying I was sure I'd get another girl! Typical Sod's Law! Anyway! To sleep! |

Ok so I finally got myself eggs....   I'd appreciate any kind of help I can get. I have no idea if just viewing them will allow them to grow up or what I need to do. Do I need to get an incubator? Like I said, any help or comments would be much appreciated. |

So sometimes we pass along memes at work and have a laugh and a chat and try and whit away at those eight hours that way. So for my dearest American friends (and those who aren't but want a giggle): MESSAGE FROM H.R.H. THE QUEEN To the citizens of the United States of America from Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II In light of your failure in recent years to nominate competent candidates for President of the USA and thus to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective immediately.(You should look up 'revocation' in the Oxford English Dictionary.) Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths, and territories (except Kansas, which she does not fancy). Your new Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, will appoint a Governor for America without the need for further elections. Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire may be circulated next year to determine whether any of you noticed. To aid in the transition to a British Crown dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect: ----------------------- 1. The letter 'U' will be reinstated in words such as 'colour,' 'favour,' 'labour' and 'neighbour.' Likewise, you will learn to spell 'doughnut' without skipping half the letters, and the suffix '-ize' will be replaced by the suffix '-ise.' Generally, you will be expected to raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. (look up 'vocabulary'). ------------------------ 2. Using the same twenty-seven words interspersed with filler noises such as 'like' and 'you know' is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication. There is no such thing as U.S. English. We will let Microsoft know on your behalf. The Microsoft spell-checker will be adjusted to take into account the reinstated letter 'u' and the elimination of '-ize.' ------------------- 3. July 4th will no longer be celebrated as a holiday. ----------------- 4. You will learn to resolve personal issues without using guns, lawyers, or therapists. The fact that you need so many lawyers and therapists shows that you're not quite ready to be independent. Guns should only be used for shooting grouse. If you can't sort things out without suing someone or speaking to a therapist,then you're not ready to shoot grouse. ---------------------- 5. Therefore, you will no longer be allowed to own or carry anything more dangerous than a vegetable peeler. Although a permit will be required if you wish to carry a vegetable peeler in public. ---------------------- 6. All intersections will be replaced with roundabouts, and you will start driving on the left side with immediate effect. At the same time, you will go metric with immediate effect and without the benefit of conversion tables. Both roundabouts and metrication will help you understand the British sense of humour. -------------------- 7. The former USA will adopt UK prices on petrol (which you have been calling gasoline) of roughly $10/US gallon. Get used to it. ------------------- 8. You will learn to make real chips. Those things you call French fries are not real chips, and those things you insist on calling potato chips are properly called crisps. Real chips are thick cut, fried in animal fat, and dressed not with catsup but with vinegar. ------------------- 9. The cold, tasteless stuff you insist on calling beer is not actually beer at all. Henceforth, only proper British Bitter will be referred to as beer, and European brews of known and accepted provenance will be referred to as Lager. Australian beer is also acceptable, as they are pound for pound the greatest sporting nation on earth and it can only be due to the beer. They are also part of the British Commonwealth - see what it did for them. American brands will be referred to as Near-Frozen Gnat's Urine, so that all can be sold without risk of further confusion. --------------------- 10. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as good guys. Hollywood will also be required to cast English actors to play English characters. Watching Andie Macdowell attempt English dialogue in Four Weddings and a Funeral was an experience akin to having one's ears removed with a cheese grater. --------------------- 11. You will cease playing American football. There is only one kind of proper football; you call it soccer. Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which has some similarities to American football, but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like a bunch of nancies). --------------------- 12. Further, you will stop playing baseball. It is not reasonable to host an event called the World Series for a game which is not played outside of America. Since only 2.1% of you are aware there is a world beyond your borders, your error is understandable. You will learn cricket, and we will let you face the Australians first to take the sting out of their deliveries. -------------------- 13. You must tell us who killed JFK. It's been driving us mad. ----------------- 14. An internal revenue agent (i.e. tax collector) from Her Majesty's Government will be with you shortly to ensure the acquisition of all monies due (backdated to 1776). --------------- 15. Daily Tea Time begins promptly at 4 p.m. with proper cups, with saucers, and never mugs, with high quality biscuits (cookies) and cakes; plus strawberries (with cream) when in season. God Save the Queen! |
