1:52 pm	wheeeeeeeeeee - Bang! Heyas everyyoonnnee! dunno how long this post is gonna be .. but here goes ^^ hmmmm well .. i decided my bike wasnt the best mode of transport no more.. i quit riding to work back in May.. and thaught i would rather get to see canada this year than be dead o.o .. when i came back from canada - i thaught "ya know what? maybe i wanna go next year too...." ... so i havent gone to work on my bike since.. instead, i found i hate public transport more than anyone could ever imagine :) .. better than being dead i guess though hehehe.. and just this last weekend gone.. i declared my bike SORN (statatutory off road notification).. no £400 chunk of money going out next march for insurance!!! wooooooo!! .. 400 / 52.. i get an extra £7 a week to spend ^^ wooo hmmmm .. OKAYS! since i think everyone knows imma wannabe canadian 'coon, looked into the whole immigration thingy - points wise im all good! yey!.. Holiday this year was real good too, got to have a nice TWO WEEKS!! in canada, seemed soooo good after only the one week the previous year.. wont do one week again for main holiday.. and finally .. on the 4th year of going to canada - i went up the CN tower in toronto hehe.. I'm not a city coon.. imma rural sleep in a bail of hay type coon .. so i generally avoid cities.. too loud.. busy .. dangerous.. you know? - But i promised rabid we'd go .. so i stuck to my word o.o .. main thing was we had suuuuuch a nice relaxing holiday.. and it's really feeling like home from home now ^^ .. even if technically we've only been there 7 weeks in total .. cos its spread over 4 years - seems like so much more.. and i guess when you're only there for a specified time, you soak in more than you probably would if you were there for extra time ^^ OH OOH and GOOD NEWS!! ... well kinda.. next year me and rabid are off to canada a month earlier than usual... usually we go first two weeks in june, but next year - its first two weeks in May.. sooooo .. it means its a whole month closer!! .. only 162 days to go!! .. hehehehe .. only sad thing is .. on 10th june - every year for the last four years, we've always been in canada.. hehe and it was kinda wierd to think "this time last year.. we were here .. and the last.. and the one before that o.o" hehe.. oh well! .. will have to cope with the first two weeks of june in the UK next year ^^ hmmmmmmmm other news.. I GOT MY BANK ACCOUNTS SORTED! heehehe .. i'm now saving money! ........ i got a Dell XPS 420!.. yeeeeey! .. anyone who dont like dell - fiiine, but my customer experiance with them has been great.. spare bits and everything sent out with no problems .. so this coony now has a computer which can EAT SECONDLIFE!!! .. yes computers that can do that do indeed exist o.o (was news to me! . . . SL .. coded by monkeys) talking about secondlife .. i started RPing again, after a gap of a fair few months.. whole gap happened cos of me getting a full time job and not having time to rp... oh .. and that small thing that gets me peeved off so much .. canon species rule for the star wars community on secondlife (opt in for sims) .. Basically if you own a sim - you can set your own rp rules on a notecard within the community on your sim. This means you can say "no furrys" .. as some originally did when this bullcrap rule came in .. BASICALLY it was ammended to saying "you can rp with furry av's but you have to use a canon equivelant species name" so in the star wars universe there's a species called Amaran - and effectively they're anthro Fox like people. GREAT! if you're a fox.. example suggestion for raccoons were - "bothan" .. which is a canine type species who look butt ugly .. and seeing as these rules came in 2 years after i'd started RPing.... i was sticking to my guns. Why should i change the species of my character, that i've RPd for two years - just to please some noobs.. screw that!.. so yeh.. a few months later, michan showed me The Wilds [still in second life]. It's not everyone's cup of tea.. there's no COMBAT SYSTEM.. ((which is one of the main reasons i love it so much)) which means ALL Role play is absolutely text based.. characters can't have abilities unless they are approved by admin for fairness .. there are some overly powerful characters, but to be honest - there should be some.. There's the best examples of text based role play etiquette there that i have ever seen .. some very very skilled players o.o hehe i've learnt pleanty ^^ THEN YESTERDAY I FOUND THIS: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Skandit yep - a canon raccoon character. Now, im still a raccoon - but if it comes to banning - i'll jus say - 'look, raccoon, skandit - same thing. if you want to say its not cannon fine. but i'll jus say that my character decided to call his species raccoons, and then it's canon. cos they're actually skandits - but they call themselves raccoons' ... so im still saying i'm raccoon ;) .. not that ive had to cos .. i only found out yesterday .. and only the crap RP sims enforce that rule anyway :P well... this post ended up longer than i thaught o.o .. hugs to all my new friends from the wilds .. some being: rein, shadow, tellus, sora, kala, rad, tyshawn, autumn, meeka (raccoon!), willow, gnarl, nova, jeduh, ayra, terra, drake, beatrix, brad, tali, vickie, haraku, glen, nau, heceta, vox, azure, thorne, kiba, lillith, theo, and more i cant remember off top of my head but i know you know i know who yous are ^^ and extra hugs to all my current friends!! - especially the ones who took the time to read all my post ^^ hehehe... cyas soon everybubble!!

8:26 pm	*Looky! its a special rocky coon post!* HEYAS EVERYONE! yesh i'm still about hehehe.. SO .. Its march, aaaaaaaaand the time that all animals long for for all those long dark hours through winter is almost here.. MY BIRTHDAY!!... nah but really 21st March, first day of spring ^^ (also my birthday) SOOOOOO i'll be 23 this year.. what's happened this year? NOW - following this is gonna be nice and honest :) so here goes Well i guess.. its been a pretty eventful year.. lots of highs and a couple of downs.. good things.. well i started the 22nd year all fired and unemployed - BUT got a job at the place i still work, which i enjoy working at - aaannd so yeh! good thing ^^ I got a motorbike! [.. good? and bad i guess.. First - good .. its almost fun. though i have to say - its more scary than fun. I guess, its brought me a bit closer to my dad who i've always kinda been distant from .. he has the same bike as me so its interesting heh.. It cost a lot of money.. sooooo i'll put this in good but theres a lot of bad in this one] I went to canada again this year (march 07 -> march 08) tho for only a week this time.. I had Michan come over ^^ - bestest foxy ever.. finally got to meet him - he came over twice, once in summer (which was great cos we got to do lots!.. i mean you saw the last entry right? and that was jus the day he came.. the first time round)... AND THE SECOND TIME was new years! New years with rabid and foxy michan! didnt have much time to plan, and unfortunately pluto couldnt come over for new years evening and day .. we had bonfirenight! .. thats an achievement as my mum was wanting to basically cancel it .. [and for anyone who doesnt know - bonfirenight to me is more important than christmas... NO not for any religious reasons. . . jus cos its completely unique.. and it jus happens that i love fire.. i love fireworks.. i love food.. and i love the night and being out in it.. ] WE MOVED FROM DINNINGTON!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO into a house that allows sunlight through these strange holes with glass in them. Theyre called Windows!!! ... cruddy house in dinnington - we lived practically without sunlight for ...way too long. tiny windows and east-west orientated with practically no windows at the back and a dull decrepid street to the front... If your gay or furry - dont walk down that street without your Chav-away(tm) [it works by melting their brain cell which completely incapacitates the chav for ever. Chav-away keeps the chavs at bay.] Intersting thing: i traced back my mum's family tree and found out who my .. great great great great great great grandad was! I set up http://sonichaven.furry-info.com -- yey! OK there are some others but im getting bored typing now o.o (like finally getting to hampton court palace) Bad stuff -- uhm .. bike accident.. disbanded furry-info.com main site cos.. well it sucked aaaaand i never updated it... disbanded my VERY FIRST internet thing... Knuckles' sonic club on yahoo (clubs)groups. BUT i have sonic haven now... so yey! ok so yesh.. furryness.. Maybe its my age -- i dunno.. i've always been spiritual about my fuzzyness but in the last few months ive been even more so.. And since the accident back in july - i did something what a lot of raccoons didn't do - survive a car. I realised you can get way way too focussed on the future - and if you do that, what about today? No sooner than you know it - your almost 23. What happened to the years between when i thaught "i'm in double figures now! ^^" on my 10th birthday as i walked round to school.. Its easy to critisise the whoooooooole "human state of being" ... your born, you get forced into school, you leave school, you go to work, you retire - and by then? what can you do? Your body is dieing. Where's childhood? Where's life? ... hehehe before anyone starts thinking i've gone emo or depressed? WRONG i've always been this thaughtful, but i only took hold of it truely after july 5th.. And you have no idea what its like being me - having to get on my bike once again every morning to go to work - every evening after work. Yes! I'm scared. every morning i more or less say good bye to the house - to bowser and to rabid and always say i love you to the important people before setting off just in case.. SO back to furry - Some people maaaaaaaybe .. maybe - jus once - a while back wondered why they never really saw me at meets no more.. there was a breif period where i went out of my way to go to jus about every one :) ... well like my friends know - i keep out of my inter-friend issues. But what is furry? Well - in its raw form, its a group of friends with a common theme. Problem is - my friends had lots of fallings outs. The friends who thought more about self preservation decided to withdraw from public meets.. the other parties then went to other furs and spread the tales.. tales become rumours and rumours become lies. So, with almost all my friends avoiding meets, including one special friend - what am i going for?... I go to Sheffield meets, i'm welcome of coarse :) -- but i feel wrong now, i go and feel fairly uncomfortable - yes i know some people, but mostly its familiar faces who know me though i cant remember their names (which is embarrassing) and a whole new bunch of faces.. And is this typical? I'll be furry for life and i support ALL furries in everything they wish to do. I dont CARE if some furs are only in furry for the sex. GO FOR IT! If thats what you want - do it, your only here once after all! Jus please remember everyone has emotions - including your friends' friends. If your a suiter (of which i'm a proud member of ^^) Be brave, be yourselves! If your spiritual - which as you already know, i'm in i hope you find better ways to get closer to your self.. Furries need unity - EVERYONE has arguments.. just be adult about things people.. IF you hear a story about someone, even if its your best friend telling you.. you dont have to make your mind up about someone before you have had chance to meet that person. And when you do? FORGET what people have told you about them, or you'll be looking for evidence to support it.... its called being biased.. And bias doesnt always have to exist.. heck the media are even getting a grip on this: http://www.timeout.com/newyork/articles/i-new-york/22922/to-fur-with-love Furry can be just about anything and none of us can truely say whether someone is or isnt a fur.. If you believe your a fur - then you are one and no one can say anything otherwise. WHO WOULDA THAUGHT A RACCOON COULDA SAID ALL THAT?! .. hehe well maybe its the same thing huh? stories.. rumours ... lies? ;) All you fuzzies who could be bothered to read all this? i loves ya all :) and even those who havent hehe .. be proud to be furry!!! Well! hopes for the year coming.. big hope is i get to have more contact with pluto - missing you pup ;.; - aaaaaand that canada is 2 weeks holiday again ^^ .. oh and maybe i'll eventually work out how to move from bike - to protective metal box with four wheels .. maybe. CYAS SOON EVERYBUBBLE!! [please forgive spelling and grammar..] Current Mood: thoughtful (4 Comments |Comment on this)

9:18 pm	bestest week evers now... where the title of this post maaaaybe a lil off... i have a hard time actually putting a finger on my favourite anything.. im generally pretty vague and say i like it all.. that being put down to life though is jus dumb -- so i guess last week was ONE of the best weeks of my life.. prolly the longest period of my life where ive felt so happy all in one go ... For those of yas who dont know -- ive been on secondlife foooorrr... well almost two years -- 11th november 2005 i joined up :D .. ANYWAY i met lotsa friends, two friends specifically who ive really got close to. One being a super mouse called Steel, and another being a fluffy fox called Michan. noooooooow.. it may sound wierd but i call them both dad in sl.. anyway a month ago, my dad Michan started talking about how he should book his trip over to visit me which hed been talking about for a year or so. We set dates, i got time off work and stuffs.. and tickets were booked. (for the plane) ... only bad thing was rabid couldnt get the time off work :( ... anyway Monday 13th August - - rabid heads off to work - i get up and hop on my pc to wake up my dad ;) - that done we start talking about how each of us are preparing to meet up and times and things.. at 11:40 michan set off for the train station.. and me being me - i set off to my train station.. even though it would technically get me to Manchester airport 4 hours early.. 'i can keep myself entertained' i figured... now.. i was setting off in the expectation that the railway between sheffield and lincoln was closed due to the flooding we'd had over a month ago.. according to the website it was still closed but on the news in the morning they reported it had opened... sure enough i saw a train come from the opposite direction... so - line was open! .. i'd recieved a text from michan saying "and so our great adventure begins" ... great adventure for him i guess.. i was jus heading to manchester airport and back hehehehe.. still emotionally i thaught maybe this would be a great adventure.. especially as after the hours and HOURS.. i'd spent talking to my dad online (who is by the way 2 years younger than me irl!), it just didnt seem real that i was ACTUALLY GOING TO SEE HIM!.. my train came, and i got on - - and the train fare was less than i thaught, which is always good! - I got pleanty of texts from michan giving me updates on his whereabouts, and i texted back in a similar fassion.. finally - sheffield train station.. I was starving.. i went to burger king -- like usual ;) - and got myself a meal and sat down next to the window and looked out watching the trains while i waited for my train to manchester airport.. still it all seemed like a dream, except for the yummy food! - Then i got up and headed to my platform... it was busy... too busy.. i hate crowds and i have a habit of when i get on a train and stand... im stood up for the whole journey - no matter how long.. UNLESS the seat right next to me becomes available.. the train comes.. and its not big enough . . . so i watch everyone pile on . . . and it leave. Im 4 hours early... whats another hour? - so i went and sat in the station waiting area on the platform and looked at the photos of the train station from way back .. all the steam engines and old diesles .. i couldnt believe it when i next looked at the time, 20mins til my train came.. That passed soon enough and i was on my way on a slightly less busy train to manchester airport. I arrive - and send a text to michan telling him i'd beaten him to manchester airport :D - i went on my mission to find a distinctive meeting spot where there wouldnt be a crowd - but where michan, who hadnt seen much of me would find me easilly.. Sure enough i found a spot in termial one arrivals. Opposite the area that the arrivees pop out - is a burger king (yey!) - and just infront of it is some kinda gaming area - with a bob the builder tractor ride... perfect. I Texted michan to let him know i'll be stood next to the ride ;) - i looked at the arrivals and according to the boards, his plane was due on time at 6:30 - so i sent a text to michan saying its on time according to here and headed up to top of terminal 1 carpark (level 13) and walked out towards where everyone was watching the planes taking off and landing.. looked out as i walked towards the area.. then i got a text. Michan texted me saying "over here it shows as 15mins late now :(" - it was 4pm.. plane should land at 6:30, now if it says 15mins delayed - that means 6:45pm.. oh well not so bad i can watch the planes i guess. i texted back in that fassion and looked out at the planes. . . looking for an SAS plane... couldnt see any.. I then noticed the planes landing were touching down somewhere behind the terminal which you couldnt see from up there.. its a pretty poor viewing area if i cant see my dad touching down! - so i wandered to the opposite end of the carpark roof. i could just about see a plane touch down... but it wasnt much good - and i noticed another carpark much closer .. so i was on a mission. Find out which carpark it was ... and get to it! I looked about trying to find clues and finally i saw it was terminal 3's carpark. And off i went to terminal 3 carpark. I got over there eventually and stood at the very far corner so i could see as much of the runway as i could.. and sure enough it was THE perfect spot to see planes land that day. So i stood there... and i got a text from michan saying boarding starts any minute - - that came on time.. so i thaught - yep 15mins late.. and i thaught - ok - thats his last text before he gets on the plane.. so i waited.. watched sooo many planes land.. then 40mins later .. i get a text.. i thaught - oh it must be from my mum.. or rabid (who was selling his car) -- but no ... its michan..... >.< -- it read "still waiting to borde they are changing a busted transistor on the plane..." i'd just waited 40mins ... thinking he would be landing soonish... and that came >.< merf.. OH WELL i thaught --- no maaaaaaaajor probs... i just hope that he actually flies soon... we have to get a train back! .. so i got up and thaught.. best thing to do when you need to pass time.. go down into terminal one viewing area (and food coart) and look for food.. and also gave me a chance to look for where i was going to get my dad some sandwiches, drink and crisps for when he landed!.. So i headed down WHSmith was the first place i went into ... mmmm yummy looking sandwiches.. but expensive! i looked at the drinks and they were also idiotic prices... so i got a bottle of water (1l) and a chicken sandwich .. which came to some rediculous price over £4... next door was a boots.. and as i walked passed .. it suddenly clicked.. boots usually do a meal deal.. ANY sandwich, ANY crisps and ANY drink all for £2.99... i thaught ... "naahh they wont do it" but my curiosity drove me in .. and heck.. they did.. i jus got completely ripped off.... so .. me being me ... i got a damn meal deal anyway.. first thaught was michan can have the chicken sandwich..... but that soon changed to ... nah ... i'll eat both sandwiches ;).. i got my food and then headed down to arrivals again to see the progress of the flight.. It was now due to arrive at 7pm... so yeh 30mins late now.. ok.. so i wandered back again to the food area - also viewing area and sat and munched on LOTS of sandwiches... i had got from boots, a triple sandwich (prawn and mayo, BLT and chicken salad), a packet of cheese and onion crisps and a bottle of coke. . . so i had al that plus my chicken sandwich.. and saved my bottle of water.. 5:31pm - i got a message from michan saying "Ok bordeing in 5 hopefully".. after my food i got up and checked the boards again.. plane due 7:30pm -- so it was right - he'd got on the plane and was going now.. thank goodness for that. i was getting worried his plane might have been cancelled all together.. and that would have messed up everything!.. SO i went back up to the top level of terminal 3 carpark.. and sat on a low wall at the far end.. i got a perfect view of the planes landing.. i put my water on the ground and just waited... I got a text.. for a moment i was scared.. 'i hooooooooooooopppppppppppeeeeee it isnt michan' - it was rabid - to my relief - who had sold his car for the top price! more than he sold his sports car for!! was awsome!.... but just as good a news as it wasnt michan!... time went by .. and every 30 mins i walked down to the boards. . . checking on the progress of the flight... i walked down about 3 or 4 times.. 7:30... 7:30... 8:06pm ... EIGHT O' SIX?! that really was bad.. i thaught we'll miss our last train!! .. so i went back up .. waited some more... 30mins later (at 7:30) i walked all the way down again and checked.. 7:56pm.. 'better' i thaught.. I went back up .. now .. id been sat up there for well over 2 hours waiting there... i knew roughly how long it took for a plane to appear as a speck of light in the distance to get to land.. and worked out that it would be about 5 planes away before michan landed.. first plane landed... second... third... ..... ..... ..... wheres the fourth? ... damn .. no fourth ... or fifth... time was getting on .. it was 7:45.. i was thinking.. 'next one has to be him' ... 'where arree youuuu' .. i was scanning the skies above the pennines looking for any dark speck.. any light speck.. ANYTHING that could be a plane... and suddenly .. bling!!! a tiiiiiiiiiny pin prick of light appeared on a cloud... 'THATS HIM! its got to be!' i watched it avidly.. not taking my eyes off it ... then as it got closer.. it braught its landing gear down.. its wing lights turned on .. so there was now 3 lights in a row coming towards us.. only the second plane i'd seen do this all day.. two more pricksof light appeared in the sky behind it .. i looked .. and searched my feelings.. and decided the first one IS the one michan is on .. the person i'd talked to for two years and never seen, the person i'd sat 4 hours at an airport waiting to see -- finally on a plane thats about to land.... It was confirmed as the plane lowered down aiming for the runway - an SAS plane. . . it landed and little tufts of blue smoke shot from its wheels as it landed, and when it vanished from view i was on a mission! i grabbed my phone and texted michan a welcome to the UK message and that i was off on my way down to the meeting spot via getting him his dinner cos he couldnt eat on the plane (meals not included ¬.¬) .. i was so preocupied texting him this message - when i finished i realised i'd gone past the closest lifts to where i was and was halfway up the car park.. never mind - i took the furthest lift and went down to boots in terminal 1 - about the 7th time id passed it.. i got the food and texted to michan asking if there was a big line at customs.. and then headed to the place, stood next to bob the builder and his tractor in terminal 1 arrivals.. my heart beating quick from the rush down and the excitement.. i got a text from michan - the first since he said he was bording "HOPEFULLY" in 5mins .. i had visions of it saying "the flight was cancelled" @.@ -- but it didnt - it said "thanks ^^ and sorry for keeping you waiting" .. hehehe -- i then got a text saying about the customs queue "not at all now im waiting for my bag and stop texting so much its costly :P" hehehe - so i stopped and now all it was ... was waiting.. 15mins later.. i look left and theres my dad - in a black t-shirt saying "Michan the fox" ^^ .. Me being me - no awkwardness - i get straight on with stuff. . . and in a way .. it felt like i'd known him for years anyway! - i asked him bout his flight and we headed for the lift - me trying to make a decent conversation .. as i never really know how to start conversations hhehee.. we went in the lift and others got in .. it fell silent.. i really felt i should say something.. but couldnt think of anything that would be suitable while in presence of others!... we got out at the top and wandered over the sky walkway towards the train station - still talking about random things - mainly about the faulty plane! When we got to the station, there was a queue for the ticket people.. stuff that - we went to the automated ticket machines and michan got his ticket from there .. i looked at the time - we'd made it for the best train back easilly. - we wandered out and saw it was already at the platform and destination was cleathorpes.. so we got in and sat at a seat with a table.. we'd done it.. the train journey home was nice.. it was going dark - but it stayed light enough for michan to comment on how all the houses looked like houses from harry potter.. and it was then how i realised . . . michan was going through the EXACT thing i did when i first went to canada... all the sterotype houses .. and barns ... and trucks... ^^ Later in the journey i texted rabid to see if he could pick us up .. we were due at kiveton park train station for 11:15pm ... he said that was fine -- and so he was sat there while we got off the train.. perfect timeing! thank you so much rabid ^^ . . so we got back.. showed michan the house... and his room ... and then he gave us our pressies which hed been tormenting me about for almost a month!! mine turned out to be an awsome plush of Anubis - the egyptian god, and he'd got rabid a custom piccy of him!... then it was time for bed.. my dad.. who id talked to for hooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrs while at uni .. while at home.. while i was upset ..while i was happy ... everything over two years.. now in the room right next door ^^ .. and now the week is set to be awsome..... (i'll post the rest of the week when my fingers have recovered.... ive been typing since 9:18pm and its now 10:27) *wavies!!* Current Mood: giddy (Comment on this)

12:01 pm	Posting! and stuff.. RAR - well ... was october since my last post.. since then there's been halloween.. bonfirenight.. christmas... my 22nd bday ..... aaaaaaaaaaand somewhere along all that has been me moving into a house with rabid annnnd the sheffield christmas meet >.> oh yeh .. and i had a job :D.. had.. Theres various problems at the mo - but why should i make the first post back after a .. long time away from LJ moany :P .. even if no one is likely to care lol ^^ SO .. october.. halloween - i went down to rabid's home in london, even if he'd moved up - we needed to sort some of his stuff out cos his parents were moving to canada, which meant we needed to find a place of our own.. - his parents said they'd get us a place, and we'd pay them the mortgage - so - yeh! great idea -- and we went along and said yes. - Also, my applying for jobs came up ok when i got accepted to be a Medical receptionist at a local GP - yey! November - Bonfirenight - everyone knows i love bonfire night >.> i really reaaallly do .. better than christmas... i dunno why .. i jus do :P - ANYWAY - we managed to set the hedge, which has been there all my life, and seen 20 bonfires before this one that I know of.. on fire... so that was fun .. a big 12ft conifer hedge on fire.. which goes by the side of 2 sheds, one tree and a garage... so we had fun putting that out >.> - - quote of the night "THE HOSE IS ON FIRE!!!" I started work at the GP on the 6th of november.. aaaaaand i loved the job :D - training was on job training, but was still kewl.. better than my previous job at sainsburys :P ooooon the 18th, we moved into our house.. well . . . yeh . . . which was great oooon about the 28th November, rabids parents did something idiotic. They happily told us this was THEIR investment. THEY were going to re-value the house every year, and if the price went up, re-mortgage it - and make us pay the higher rate. In effect, ****ing us over. My and Rabid's wages wouldnt get a mortgage anywhere near 75k - the value of the house, and they want to simply make money from us - they said "we dont want to be loosing money" LOOSING MONEY?! your rabid's frickin PARENTS!.. so yeh - making money from us. suffice to say - we switched saying "our house" to "thier house" - and made plans to get out of here as soon as possible.. in effect they completely ruined the fact we have a house to live in. December- job going ok, but im beginning to notice theres some VERY petty crap going on. Im new, ive been there a month, and things are being said about me behind my back - for example "hes not doing this .." "hes not doing that .." - stuff i might add, ive not been trained to do yet. - Also various other reports coming to me by my one and only true friend there.. The job is great - the hours are great.. the holidays are great.. the people i work with seem to be cold hearted bitches who dont give a crap about me (with the exception of 2 people). Christmas! - YEY .. .. yeh .. christmas.. you know the routine. 27th December. Worst day at work - ever. Day after boxing day - no im not hung over - i dont drink :P - but - i wasnt feeling well at all.. semi-flu thing.. i was getting dizzy spells - aaand some people wanted to bring their kid along to their appointment to quickly be looked over by the doctor- i said it was ok (twice - two people) -- and apparently - that was just COMPLETELY unacceptable. as i found out in a meeting on the 28th.. I was told i needed to improve - i asked "what do i need to improve on?" - and was told by the practice manager "....... well i dont know, im given this information in a package" ..... FOR FRICKS SAKE - how a m i spose to improve if i dont know what im doing wrong?!!! PROFFESSIONALISM FOR HECKS SAKE! .. so ... yeh.. wonderful end to 2006 - im told i have to improve on some mystery qualities :P New years was fun tho.. had the family round at THEIR house and stuff :) January - 02nd ish - finally get word of more specific bullying towards me at work - reporting for more things i dont know yet - various crap being thrown about. I went to the practice manager to report the bullying - i got a wet lettuce response from her - "wait 2 weeks, im sure they dont mean to be offensive, and we'll talk then" - complete bull. So - irresponsible management too ^^ 25th January - im called in the office - and told "its not working".. this is i might add 13days before the 14day deadline to go back to talk again about the bullying. They do this i might add, while my manager is on holiday - and has no idea whats happening (i rang her when i got home) - then next thing they hit me with - they want me to leave immediately... go get my stuff and leave ... THEN they say they dont want me to work my notice. - well as i did enjoy the job - i was pretty damn hurt. Also there was the question of bills for the house- paying of rabid's parents etc... so yeh - i left - i wanted to know why i'd been let go of - and they replied SEVERAL WEEKS LATER saying i had insufficient aptitude - and it was only a probationary contract. In otherwords - they didnt want me, so told me to **** off - and theres nothin i can do about it. - SO now im back to looking for a job. February - early - me looking for jobs.. applied to loads.. rabids parents say we dont need to pay this month for the house payments.. soo my savings could cover for a couple of months like that.. no luck tho with the jobs.. end of february - start getting very annoyed that im having to stick to bus routes to look for jobs. March - early - randomly pick up a drivers licence application form from a post office ... - few days later.. my mum says she'll lend me the money to get a motorbike (NOT A MOPED) ... soooooo i put in my stuff for prov.)licence.. got it .. went and ordered the Honda CG125 (red) brand new >.> .. and passed my cbt - the day the bike was delivered ^^ .. Im now a biker coon :D thassit.. not got any pics of mine yet - but its exactly the same :P YEY ^^ - also this month, rabid's parents said we didnt have to pay this month, but we would next month - or they'd put the house back up for sale. Effectively kicking us out .. we werent too bothered.. cos next month we could pay cos of what we've saved from not paying these last two months.. HOWEVER.. we decided as his parents were basically moaning to us all the damn time, we'd pay this month and not next month instead.. so we let the payment go through - and now rabid's parents are saying we still have to pay next month or the house is going up for sale.. FOR FRIKS SAKE.. ANNNNNND now im jus tryin to contact pluto .. who im missing cos i aint seen him in weeks.. so i can actually pick up my spirits a bit.. In general.. yeh - my last job screwed us over. and rabid's parents have screwed us over.. Plan of action: Get ANY BLOOMIN JOB .. find somewhere else to live WITHOUT the knowledge of rabid's parents.. then jus tell them "hey, we're moving out next week... have your fooking house. Now deal with it. Enjoy selling it from canada." :P in better news - my PERFECT job has jus come up - so im currently in the middle of writing out the application form ^^ - ICT technician.. hopes so much i get this job.. will solve probs ... and be better pay than my last job ;) (by 5k >.>) SO yey for the finger salute to my old employers ;) SO YESH.. sowwy for the essay .. jus had to go through everythink i missed :P CYAS SOON!!! *watches for any comments* ^^ Current Mood: amused (5 Comments |Comment on this)

11:11 pm	Sugar Cubes Mystery Finally Solved... I've been doing some experiments to work out once and for all - why sugar cubes vanish when raccoons wash them... i'll detail it... BUT i DID FINALLY WORK OUT WHAT HAPPENS! So - we wash a sugar cube.. and its still sticky -- then again -- and again -- then it vanishes!... so ... i decided to trick the sneeky sugar cube... SO - - Method 1 - aparatus: 1 sugar cube, a large net, and a running tap of water. First i put the net under the tap.. so that if the sugarcube tried to escape it would fall into the net.. - i washed it.. sticky ... and again ... sticky ... and again.. sticky ... and again .. AND IT VANISHED AGAIN! -- i searched the net for 4 hours.... even feeling it incase the sugar cube had some kind of sneeky cloaking device... but! - it wasnt there... SO - i come up with another method Method 2 - Aparatus - 1 sugar cube, 1 Stainless steel air tight pod with a water pipe plumbed in and a tap inside. First i got in the air tight stainless steel pod and closed the door and sealed it. Then i turned on the tap - - there was no plug hole so i got some wet foot paws.. THEN i started the washing procedure! - wash - it gets sticky .. wash - still sticky -- wash -- and still sticky ... then wash again. . . AND IT VANISHES AGAIN!.. SO - as i'm now knee high in water.. i turn off the tap and start searching through the water for the sugar cube!... SO ... finally after 1hour and 23 seconds, the air ran out so i had to get out of the pod. CONCLUSION. The reason why sugar cubes vanish when raccoons wash them - is that raccoons must have a special super secret ability of being able to teleport sugar cubes to a new descovered dimension which i call Dimension S (for shiny). ^^ Hope that finally sorts it out now - putting the mystery to rest :) Current Mood: satisfied (1 Comment |Comment on this)

8:28 am	Ode to a keyboard - I Will warn you, this is probably one of the saddest posts, and lamest excuses for a live journal entry you will see -- ever.. LOL - and you are allowed to laugh at it :D - im just sentimental :P The keyboard used to type this - was the keyboard i typed everything for university on.. it was used in canada for all the over the hedge games played.. it was used to talk to michan for the first time.. and steel.. and lucky ... and basically all of second life - everything to do with the jedi stuff was typed on here.. but it was probably the dissertation of about 25,000 words that mainly killed it... the paint is coming off.. the space bar is hanging off and is insensitive.. the B key is loose, the f key didnt seem to want to work last night... and it needs a clean... but even for all of this - and even though its only a keyboard, and an identicle one is on its way to me right now.. i will kinda miss -this- keyboard - so due to dell wanting to swap new parts for faulty parts, this will probably be the last testimony for it... but considering the solid work its been through - morning, afternoon, evening and night - of just about every day since the 4th of November, plus as ive said - the dissertation.. i guess its not so surprising.. and laptop keyboards arent exactly known for being robust.. So i guess that all that is left, is for this keyboard to hand the torch to the next - and thats that. SO YEH... :D i horde stuff ;.; for no real reason o.o - jus sentimental value... OH and -- im not so bad as to be crying or nothing :P - im jus gonna miss it ;) on the plus side... im getting A NEW KEYBOARD WITH NO LOOSE KEYS!! YEEEEEEEY!!!!!!!!!! =========end of one off the saddest posts ever :D============ Current Mood: contemplative (Comment on this)

3:33 pm	Lightning is .... SHINNNNEEEEEEEEYYYYY YEY had a great night last night .. went with pluto -- doing sometink i dun tink many people would advise doing >.> .... STORM CHASING ^^ Basically.. we were watching stoof on pluto's computer - and both me and pluto had been feelin and hearing funny things for a few hours - and then when the stoof had finished - i padded outside at about 1:30am, and there were some uber amounts of lightning going off in the distance... SO -- time to do somethink i always wanted to do... storm chasing! - so what if it was 1:30 in the morning ... im a raccoon!!! :P So we hopped in a car, making sure george (my cat) was in the house all fine with food and water (he wasnt even slightly bothered o.O .. but this will be explained later) - and jumped into pluto's car for a bit of chasing.. we ended up following it right up to on the top of a hill, where just over it - Tuxford layed - and we watched.. there were more than 30 strikes in a minute... fork lightning, sheet lightning (though not much) - horizontal lightning .. and something ive never seen before ... which im not even sure the proper name for.. the cloud lit up like it was a lighning strike - it was bright blue, but instead of flashing and vanishing... it just stayed there o.o - it was lit for a good 10 seconds before going off ... it was IN the cloud i think - but its somethink i never seen before.. one of the most charged storms ive ever seen... the wind started picking up and some MEGA bolts started coming down and across... lightning with about 15 forks in it - going across the sky and down to the ground - it was getting more rapid and a lot louder - sssoooo - as pluto was getting a lil shook up - we were wondering when would be a good time to set off... THEN somethin really wierd happened.. now im sensitive to lots of climatic changes and various unexplained stuff - but last night somethin i havent had too much happen to me -- happened .. We were sat, watching the lightning and then - i went dizzy for no reason.. it felt like it was the front of my head - and things became distorted in vision momentarilly -- i said when it happened "oh i gone dizzy" then pluto said somethin similar - it happened to both of us at the same time .. but from what i remember - there didnt seem to be any lightning actually happening when we had the dizzy spot.. now if it was jus me it would have been wierd enough.. but both of us got somethin - so that means somethin actually happened.. but what it was i dunno.. maybe some kinda static build up? i dunnos .. if anyone knows jus tell me :D -- so yeh we stayed there for a few UBER lightning strikes more - before pluto and me decided that it may be a good idea to head back (mainly pluto's deciding ... i woulda been happy to sit there and ride it out ;) ) SO YESH - we headed back to my house.. and like always - no thunder had been here.. only distant rumbles.. anston bearly ever gets thunder... like once in 7 years is about the average currently... it can be all around anston - but it never actually happens here.. well nearly never... so thas why george was like "meh" with the thunder ^^ SO YESH - essay over ^^ -- it was fun tho :D YEY SHINY Current Mood: bouncy (3 Comments |Comment on this)

2:13 pm	The purpose of Corn Flies... What is the purpose of cornflies??? 1) theyre too small to get any nutrition from eating them 2) too small to even notice they're there til they start tickling your arm.. head .. neck... back.. legs... 3) what do they actually do?! - they sit under leaves in the corn.. and when corn is harvested.. they fly into the nearest town.. and cover ANY surface.. my window at the moment >.> hasnt got 2 square inches without at least 1 corn fly on it o.o - and now i have to go get washing in - and put more out .. thats bound to be covered in cornflies... and when i come back in? i'll be covered in them >.< And for anyone that dont want to kill any animal or insect .. you get a tickle - you scratch.. and without even knowing it - you jus minced one of them cos they so small and fragile!
