My housemate gave me a birthday present today...a clapper board! An actual clapper board that I can write on in chalk and everything and use to professionally mark footage that I film! ARGH!

Another housemate also bought me a little thing, a little lump of softish rock, which contains therein a model of a dinosaur. You have to chisel it out with a tiny sharp stick and a tiny brush. It's amazing, I dig a little more every night before bed and am slowly unearthing a dinosaur!

And an ex-housemate just popped into the shop while I was working and told me he'd left my present in our fridge...it was a fake severed hand and that his present to me was the fear of whoever was first to find it unexpectedly in there.

My friends all know me so very well.

Well....that sounds....interesting, Hoopy, to say in the very least.....

ahem

I HAS INTERNETS NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

finally
though I'm going to have to keep an eye on the postman - my modem got sent to the butchers!

[Ursa major]

Was it sent there by misteak...?


(My modem was put in my recycling bin, presumably to keep it safe from the elements; luckily, I found it before recycling day.)



And regarding postal workers: No Biting.

Yeah, but does it have a clock?

With - erm -- a wrist-watch, maybe?

Sorry, I seem to be fixating for some reason ...

And, Happy Birthday, Hoops - sorry I'm so late catching up with things.

I almost have enough to buy myself a DSLR, or a car. At the rate I'm going I'll have enough for a DSLR by Christmas, and enough for a car...a long time after that. But I'll pay it off week by week, so I'll have a good start.

forget the car!

Changed my mind...I'm getting a laptop instead. I'm in year 12 next year, so I'll need it more than a camera, particularly with my sisters being all 'I want the computer for 5 hours a night because I have crappy time-management skills'

Yay its a girl! And she is due on Valentine's Day (Feb 14).

We are thinking of naming her Raelee Michelle.

Everything seems to be fine with her, she doesn't like ultrasounds and so we have no good ultrasound images (I was going to scan and share them), and we are pretty sure that she is a girl but not completely sure.

Yaaaayyyyyyy!!!!!!!

Rae. A name that brings sunshine into your life and betokens musical discernment, Ultrasounds notwithstanding . *pompous nod* I approve.

[Karn Maeshalanadae]

That's awesome, DG. And that sounds like a wonderful name.

Thanks! Manarion was already taken so we had to improvise.

[Karn Maeshalanadae]

Ooh, believe me, DG, you wouldn't want to name a child Manarion anyway. He's an evil water dragon with the power of mind possession. Hehe.

Then he would fit right in with my heathen brood.

[Karn Maeshalanadae]

Well, in all cases, congrats, DG, and here's to having a wonderful, healthy baby girl. *Nods and lifts can of soda*
