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! |

I love that despite I have a bloody bad cold and I felt I could have collapsed at work earlier, I get home and all is good again. Well actually it’s probably because I had a driving lesson earlier, and she said it was a lovely drive and I did really well. I felt then, that I’m waiting now for my re-test. Because I can pass it. If only I could drive as well as I did this evening in the drizzly rain and the near darkness of 6:30pm in September. I even managed two reverse parks without pissing them up completely. Which is quite the achievement for me! I watched Jamie Oliver’s Ministry of Food and that made me thankful for my mum. My mum took me into the kitchen as a child and taught me how to cook fairy cakes and lasagne and mac’n’cheese. Some of these people buy their children takeaways and have never cooked. How can you never cook? I mean, I don’t feel that shoving pasta in hot water and adding a jar of tomato sauce to mince is cooking particularly but apparently it’s better than some. I could cook a roast dinner minus the meat (Being a veggie that doesn’t apply to me!) And I thought it was terrible that I couldn’t cook. According to Jamie, that’s cooking! I am so glad my mum taught me that at least! The other thing that’s made me chirpy is that darling Nat has finally emailed me and is returning for a weekend from Uni to see us. Perhaps to see Blood Brothers but that may be stretching her budget too much. I think it’s the ‘love you’ on the end of the email that’s made me happy. I have no man in my life. My friends are everything to me and to have her say that makes my heart lighter, because I love her and Becca and some of you lot on here as well. Canis darling, you’re one of my favourite people, I should perhaps say that more often and not let it go unsaid. So love you guys and bless you for putting up with me! *Cuddles* |

I was fine and then I get a text from Helen, who hasn’t contacted me in over two years and I’m sat here in tears because I hate it. Hate the fact that everything is brushed over, like the last time we spoke we were on good terms. Hate the fact that when asked how I am, what have I been doing, that I freeze and my eyes burn. Hate that my answer is nothing. Nothing has changed since I last spoke to you. My life is the same. You walk out of it and it hasn’t bloody changed now you’ve decided to come back into it again and hey look, nothing’s changed. I want to escape. I want to smile and say yeah I’ve done this, thins and this and you’ve missed it all. But no. I’m still that same person, who is insecure, who has no boyfriend, has a few friends, half of which I only see once a year. Please. I can’t be who my dad wants me to be. I can’t be who any of you want me to be. I’m a big fat failure and I want to run. I don’t want to speak to people who pretend they’ve been there for me when they haven’t and I don’t want to fake smile and come up with clever remarks. I want to walk out the door, leave work, leave my phone, leave everything because I despise having to keep looking back over my shoulder and still have those jeering voices shouting at me. I’m going to California in nine days. Wish I could stay there and never come back. |

So I failed my practical car test. Which wasn't really surprising. Though I would have passed if I hadn't cocked up the parallel parking. Which I suck at. Ugh. Anyway, to cheer myself up, I am reminding myself how soon my holiday is.  *Takes a deep breath* I am soooo excited! We may be going up in a balloon in Palm Springs, which is terrifying and brilliant all at once. I need to loose this bloody weight so I can fit into my clothes. Why, when getting into adulthood must we put on the pounds? I have a distinct tummy and hips and I don't like it! So exercise tape, badminton twice this week, Hot!Latino Aerobics and being starving half the day seem to be port of call. Oh and perhaps aquafit if the girls are up for it! I'm still excited! |

Hello all, As I haven’t updated in some time, I thought I should, before I go back to lurking again. I am going back to America. Exactly the same date as last year so 5th September to 18th. Flying into San Francisco and going to Monterey, Santa Barbra, Palm Springs and then San Diego. (The order of those middle places is probably wrong… I need my inventory!) This is a similar trip as we did last year but we decided we liked the smaller cities and towns rather than the sprawling urban-ness that is LA. What I wanted to ask as I know that I have a couple of people from California on my flist and people must have visited these places; where are good places to eat? I have a feeling that ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small} lilyseyes recommended Little Italy in San Francisco but more recommendations would be greatly appreciated.Hope everyone is ok. :) |

I passed my theory driving test first time. Thank god! A girl at work took four times to pass it so I was really worried I'd muck it up. 49 out of 50! Squeee! Now all I have to do is pass the practical and that's going to be a bloody nightmare. Well I'll bask in my happiness for today at any rate. Hope you are all ok. Japs. |

It is finally finished. Three or more years since I updated and longer still since I actually started writing it. But it's bloody finished. Just thought you ought to know... Chapter Eight - Homecoming I'm never writing anything long chaptered again. That proved I can't do it, my brain takes a long, long holiday and it barely gets finished. I'm not even happy about the end chapter either. My enthusiasm got lost somewhere over the time taken spent trying to write. Eugh. Safe to say I'm sticking to being a reader and reviewer from now on. *Huffs* |

First things first, as I haven’t updated this in a while, for any of you wishing to know, my 21st birthday went fine. Funnily enough I had nothing planned and everyone came up to me and said “Ohh what are you doing for your birthday?” like I should have some sort of lavish party planned. But I didn’t and in the end a girl from work said that ‘everyone’ has to do something for their 21st so decided that such and such persons were going for a meal to celebrate me being old. However, I had three people cancel out of the five who were going, so I cancelled the whole mess. Not to be a bloody downhearted cynical sort but I ask; what’s the point? I was rather upset in the end but I did go out with my family on the actual day so I suppose that’s ok. In regards to the ‘Holidays’ as everyone these days seems to call it, hope everyone enjoyed themselves and were safe and sound. I watched ‘A Life In the day of J K Rowling’ and remembered once again how much I like her. It’s odd because I do disagree with her so thoroughly at times, and yet she’s so genuine. She came from the street I went to school for, for six years and then lived in Winterbourne which is a mile away and it’s so nice to have someone so ordinary I suppose come from round here and make something of herself. By the way I love love love that she named Lily jr, Lily Luna Potter. IE the best name! That is, if we must have an epilogue in the first place. James Sirius Potter, Albus Severus and Lily Luna Potter. *Giggles* I can’t believe Ginny agreed to those names, I don’t know if I would! Now I think I’d better stop rambling and let you dears get on with it. |

Another meme this one from lilyseyes Free-IQTest.net - Free IQ Test Obviously I didn't do half as well as lilyseyes did but hey ho we can't all be clever!I blame my 'ehhh' ness on the rain. I can't think properly when it rains, I want to go out with my umbrella and walk in it. J'adore the rain. I need to go on the hunt for such an icon. I really want one all of a sudden! I'm rambling again. Still. :) |
