Notes from the road and virginity

OK, so I lied in yesterday’s post and I won’t post pictures today. I’m lazy. But while I’m waiting for my frozen dinner to get ready I though I could just type these notes up and post them for your entertainment.

Thursday 7:55

I’m in the waiting room, obviously waiting for my plane to board. I’m sure that this is the time when I should get all excited but I’m not. I’m twitchy but that might be because I’ve had gargantuan amounts of coffee. Can I just chalck it up to being nervous? Can I, can I, please?

The drive here was...well, a nightmare. Being stuck in a car with mum and dad is no one’s idea of a good time. Frankly, sticking needles in my eyes would have been so much better. And add the fact that we left way too early so we got to the airport at 5AM. For an 8.35 flight. Awesome, ain’t it?

Still Thursday, 9:30 AM, airplane

I think people think I’m insane. Of course, it doesn’t help that the first thing I did once I got in my seat was to check the twisty knob thingy on the tray(it has a name, I’m sure it has a nname but...meh) and see if it breaks off. I’ve seen Final Destination one too many times, me thinks. It also doesn’t help that I giggle every time the plane shakes a bit because I’m reminded of the way too many Final Destination conversations I’ve had with a friend. Why, yes, we are obsessed. Oh, and if I look out the window at the wing I remember the stupid scene at the begining of(no, not Final Destination this time) Urban Legends 2(great series, you should definitely watch at least Urban Legends 1 and maybe even 2....skip 3 though...that one went from not-so great like 2 to just-shoot-me-now-have-they-even-seen-the-first-films-make-it-stop! bad).

Yeah, so nothing too exciting, but then again when have I ever been exiting? Well, maybe just now, when I announce that I’m no longer a virgin.









A Cherry Coke virgin...what did you think? You people have filthy minds, you know that, right?You see, we don’t have Cherry Coke back home...how ever did I live without it? Tomorrow I’m going to end my Dr. Pepper virginity as well.

By the way, the frozen dinner was disgusting. Now I’m hungry.

Cheerio, mates!

Greetings from jolly old England! Did you miss me? Did you, did you? Well, fine then, I didn’t miss you either. I really don’t have that much to report, it’s all still a blur and probably going to keep being this way for at least the first 2 weeks. I’m meeting loads of people, my flatmates are...quiet. Well, one’s quiet, one’s really nice and the third one is barely ever here. My room is decent, I’ll post some pictures tomorrow after I take the trash out. The city itself is like a postcard, especially now with fallen leaves everywhere and the walk to uni is really pretty(not that I’m gonna walk that often, it’s a good 45-50 minutes walk). Lots of red brick houses, but I expected that and I love them. Most of the people are incredibly nice, everyone’s smiling and happy...it’s odd. I’m just going to go to bed now and I’ll be back soon with a more complete account of my journey and adventures so far.

How do I pack my life in a suitcase?

How do I decide what stays and what comes with me? Do I take the Coca-Cola metal signs that I’ve looked for in 5 shops and then dragged them all the way back from Paris with me? The Martini glass print that never quite fit anywhere but which I love nonetheless? Which one of the metal tins I’ve gathered do I take? The teddy bear I’ve had for as long as I can remember? Do I take any of the countless greeting cards I’ve gotten over the years and that I’ve kept for no apparent reason? What stays? What goes? How do I pick from the piles of memories? And more importantly…how do I pack a giant puppy in my suitcase so that no one notices?

I’m not really sentimental. I will probably leave most of these things behind(although gosh, darn it, I am taking the Coca-Cola signs and the Martini print…I love them way to much). I just felt like being mushy for a bit.

So, this is it folks. I probably won’t have time to post anything else before I leave and I’ll be offline for a few days until I buy a laptop. Wish me luck…I’m going in!

And on a completely unrelated note…how awesome were the new Heroes episodes? Spoiler ahead:

Sylar and Peter and Nathan are brothers! How great is that?

Also am I the only one disappointed that Sylar doesn’t eat the brains(not only because if he did eat them that would killed Claire, but it would have been so much cooler)? But still… "That’s disgusting”? looool

You missed him, right?

You know that as a proud fur-mommy it is my sacred duty to kill you with pictures every once in a while, right? Well, I have some free time and I can't sleep right now so I've decided that there's no better time then the present to fulfill that duty so without further ado, here is puppy!



He almost looks small here, doesn't he?




Well, maybe not so small...




I give you the "I'm innocent! I didn't do it!" look...how can I punish him when he does this to me?




Either he has big paws or I have really small hands...




And my favourite picture of all time...how can you not love him?

Not even exciting things…

…can make my life exciting. You’d think that with less then a week left before I move my life would be the least be interesting. Not so much so. Actually, in the past weeks it’s been mostly shopping, starring at the rain outside, more shopping, wondering when the rain will stop, some more shopping, bad films, really bad films, it can’t be possible for a film to be this bad(this honor goes to Bats: Human Harvest…oh, yeah), Monty Python, more shopping in case I wasn’t already bloody tired of all the shopping. Oh, and some sleeping in the downtime. Exciting, right? Almost as exciting as me buying giraffe jammies. It’s sad. Other people have going away parties and cakes that say “We will miss you” .Oh, and other then giraffe jammies(why yes, I am proud of them, why do you ask?) I bought a huge stack of hair clips and then decided I might just cut my hair after all. Or I might not. It’s still up for debate right now. Sheesh, I’m talking about hair cuts and jammies. That’s how boring life is. Thankfully Heroes starts in a few days and if the spoilers are right, the first episode might be the most exciting ever. Heck, I could watch them cut grass and still be happy because damn, I miss Heroes. As long as they do it naked. Cut the grass naked, in case my thought process isn’t clear for everybody. But just the boys and Ali Larter.

Who knows, maybe the hit man will come kill me after all today!

The greatest spam ever!

This is the last time you will hear from me because I am apparently going to be dead in 48 hours! I’ve gotten all types of spam over the years, many of them offering me tons of money, telling me I won a lottery I never even heard of and offering to help me enlarge my you-know-what naturally. Of course that after taking them up on every single one of these offers I am a gorgeous billionaire with a giant tinkle so someone wants me dead. But no problem because the nice hitman(or hitwoman, I don’t want to be sexist) sent me an email to warn me about it! Isn’t that sweet of him? And for the low, low price of 15000 dollars I can live! What a bargain. So now for your reading pleasure I give you the hitman’s email. I just have to live on the wild side and tempt my fate, right?

This email is intended for you.I am very sorry for you, it is a
pity that this is how your life is going to end as soon as you don't
comply. As you can see there is no need of introducing myself to you
because I don't have any business with you, my duty as I am mailing you
now is just to KILL you and I have to do it as I have already been paid upfront
for it.

Someone you call a friend wants you Dead by all
means, and the person have spent a lot of money on this, the person
also came to us and told me that she wanted you dead and she provided us
with your name ,picture,home address and other necessary information's we
needed
about you. So I have sent my boys to track you down and they have carried
out the necessary investigation needed for the operation on you, and
they have done that but I told them not to kill you yet,that I will like
to
contact you and see if your life is Important to you or not since their
findings shows that you are innocent.

I called my client back
and ask her of your email address which I didn't tell her what I wanted
to do with it and she gave it to me and I am using it to contact you
now. As I am writing to you now my men are monitoring you and they are
telling me everything about you.

Now do you want to LIVE OR
DIE? As someone has paid us to kill you. Get back to me now if you are
ready to pay some fees to spare your life, $15,000 is all you need to
spend You will first of all pay $8,000 then I will send a tape to you
which i recorded every discussion i made with the person who wanted you
dead and as soon as you get the tape, you will pay the remaining
$7,000. If you are not ready for my help, then I will carry on with my
job straight-up without any remorse.

WARNING!!!!DO NOT THINK OF CONTACTING THE POLICE
OR EVEN TELLING ANYONE BECAUSE I WILL KNOW.REMEMBER, SOMEONE WHO KNOWS
YOU VERY WELL WANT YOU DEAD! I WILL EXTEND IT TO ANY OF YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS,
INCASE I NOTICE SOMETHING FUNNY.


AFTER PAYMENT,I WILL MAKE OUT TIME TO SEE YOU IN A SAFE PLACE AND GIVE YOU
THE TAPE OF MY DISCUSSION WITH
THE PERSON WHO WANTS YOU DEAD THEN, YOU CAN USE IT TO TAKE ANY LEGAL
ACTION AGAINST HER.

I AM GIVING YOU JUST 48HRS TO PAY UP OR ELSE YOU ARE DEAD,THERE IS NO WHERE
YOU CAN RUN TO.

IF YOU REPORT THIS MATTER TO THE POLICE,WE WILL NOT FAIL TO KILL YOU WITHOUT
FURTHER DELAY.THE POLICE CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.I ASSURE YOU,THIS IS
NOT A MERE THREAT.

REPLY US ON THIS SECLUDED EMAIL ADDRESS TODAY.IF YOU DON'T, YOUR DAYS ARE
NUMBERED TO HOURS.

Does posting it on this blog count as telling someone?

So long, farewell, Auf wiedersehen, goodbye!

It's official

As of a few hours ago I’m officially a University of Leicester student! *happy dance* I’ve registered online and I even got a cool UoL email address. How cool is that? Other then that nothing much to report. I have a big shopping spree planned for tomorrow so keep your fingers crossed that it doesn’t rain again and ruin my plans(I’ve already postponed this twice…at this pace I won’t have socks at uni).

Also George Takei(of Star Trek and Heroes fame) got married this weekend to his long time partner. Check out an article online here (and how cute is the third picture?).
