Li, Regina, Rhiannon.
Phoebe’s (my cat—in the header 
) daughter Pandora gave birth to her kittens last week. She had two: one black and one black and white. They’re both girls, I think. I really want one but a) my dad said no, and b) they’re both spoken for. 
It was Phoebe’s birthday on Monday, she was two. I can’t believe it’s been almost a whole two years since we got her. 
Talking of birthdays, it’s my dad’s tomorrow. I didn’t know what to get him for a present so I’m taking him out for a meal (and my mum and sister).
My sister is currently in Paris on a school trip, she gets back tomorrow morning and my parents have to pick her up at 4am.
Next week my other sister (and my nephew and brother-in-law) is coming to stay with us from Tuesday until Sunday, then n Sunday my aunt and uncle are coming down to stay with us overnight because we’re going on holiday together the next day.

I’m serious, what is the point of them? ‘To hold your toothbrush’, you might be thinking. But who has a toothbrush that thin? I was brushing my teeth a few minutes ago and noticed there was a new holder. My mum had placed my sister’s toothbrush and my old one in it and both were miles too wide to actually fit. About half a cm of each one were in the holes and they were just balancing on the rims awkwardly. BTW, the reason my old brush was in there is I have a new one and leave it in my room, and I haven’t thrown the old one out yet.
And why were my parents’ toothbrushes not in the new holder? Because they’re electric, and wouldn’t fit in a million years. There is also another holder in there, which was bought to match the bathroom when the new suite was fitted (about five years ago), and it has never been used, it’s just there.
So, now toothbrushes are either a) electric, or b) wider than a pencil, why are holders for them still being bought or even made? 
I forgot to mention last month that I ‘won’ Script Frenzy. I completed it with 177 pages, woo! Here’s my little award :
Hehe, yay. It was fun, but I preferred NaNoWriMo.
On the subject of yayness, I passed an assessment at college, with distinction. Woot!

OK, so I found someone using a set of my smilies on their site. But there was no credit. Not a big deal, of course, I would simply ask politely for credit, which I did.
The person in question, however, is an infamous troublemaker in the whole ‘website world’. I don’t like this person, never have. There was one point I felt sorry for her, but that pity vanished quickly when I realised what a nasty piece of work she is. But still, I don’t have a problem with her using a resource I distribute freely on my site.
Knowing that she was likely to delete or edit the comment I left asking for credit, I print screened it:
That is a cropped version of the screenshot. The full version has this person’s site on it. I’m not going to post that now, however, I will be calling her out on it.
Call her out on what? Well, I’ll tell you. I visited her site yesterday to see if a) she had credited, and b) if she had deleted my comment. The answer to a is no, and the answer to b is yes. But what I hadn’t banked on was c. C is a whole paragraph in her blog dedicated to me. This paragraph which I won’t quote, but will merely sum up, says this:
- I asked for credit in a nasty way
- I said she could not use anything from my site
- I should have been nice about it
- I am ugly and look like an ‘old lady’
- I will get credit but not a link back because I was ‘nasty’
- She will credit me when she wants to
- Next time I should be nice and not a total *insert several swear words*
- I should not worry about credit but instead concentrate on the forum I “run” that “lets 11-year-olds talk about giving head and ass fucking”
What. The. Fuck.
At first I thought she was talking about someone else, that coincidentally someone else had asked for credit for their smilies. This was mainly due to the fact she said they were ‘cloud’ smilies, when mine are ghost. It was only when I got to the forum bit I realised she was talking about me.
What I don’t get is why the hell she lied. Seriously, I am completely and utterly baffled as to why she would do it and what she could possibly gain from it.
OK, so obviously she dislikes me because I am a super moderator at a certain forum (I do not ‘run’ it), but there really is no need for her to lie or insult me. She clearly has severe mental health issues, though that was obvious already, but seriously. She really does thrive on all the dramuh she creates. She really must love it, despite constantly claiming she doesn’t, and it’s very clear that she is 100% at fault during every argument she starts or involves herself in.
But seriously, is it really that difficult to fulfill a simple request without lying and trying to start an argument?
EDIT: An update on the twattery—Barbilee has banned my IP from her site. Oh noezz!!!1one If only someone could invent a website that could hide your IP. Oh, wait…

The other day, in town, my mum and I were stopped by a gypsy. When I say gypsy, that’s what she claimed to be, but she was really just an oldish woman in jeans with a lot of hair on her face.
She held out a piece of ‘lucky’ heather to my mum who, against her better judgment, took it. The gypsy then took us aside and started talking to us. She gave us each a little plastic star painted gold and told us that it was also lucky etc.etc. She went on a bit about how she was related to Gypsy Rose Lee and that we would have luck now, blah blah.
In exchange for this good fortune she wanted money from us. We each ended up giving her £5 ($10), just for a little star that would have cost her, at most, about 10p (20c) and a piece of ‘heather’ (I think it was actually lavender) that she probably stole from some field.
However, and I don’t really think these are connected, but it is slightly coincidental, a few months ago I lost a ring. ‘Lost’ is a bit strong a word, it fell off a shelf and landed on the floor, down the side of my bedside cabinet. I couldn’t see it immediately, so I decided to wait until the morning to look for it (as it was quite late at night). I couldn’t find it, there’s quite a lot of stuff in the small space where it fell, and eventually gave up. I’ve had a look several times since and still couldn’t find it. Yesterday, I put my hand in my jewellery bowl (a little ceramic bowl I put jewellery in) to pull a different ring I wear sometimes, when I picked up the one I lost. It was right at the top of little pile, and I would have definitely seen it if it had always been in there. No one else would have found it (although I did ask my mum if she had) and I definitely saw it drop down. So I have no idea how it got there.

Pandora, daughter of Phoebe (my cat), sister of Diego, Binky, Tallulah and Muffy (also cats, OMG) is pregnant. At least, her owner thinks she is. She (the owner) also owns Phoebe’s mother (the grandmother of Diego, Binky etc.). I so badly want one of these kittens, my mum so badly wants one of these kittens and, when she finds out, my sister will so badly want one of these kittens. Upon hearing the news, my dad immediately told us we will not be having one, however he said it with an “I know we will end up with one” tone. If we did have one, we would have three generations from the same family, which would be awesome. 
The owner believes they will be born in June, which would make them ready for rehoming in August. Which is not so good, as we are going on holiday then. I actually told myself that our last holiday (in April) would be the last time I go with my family but I’ve changed my mind and I’m going on this one.
So if we get a kitten in August (and I really hope we do), it will be a bit awkward when we go away, so I’m not quite sure what we’ll do about that, should the situation arise.
I have been pretty much internet-less for over three weeks now. It started with the router playing up at the beginning of April. This continued until I went away on the 14th. By ‘playing up’ I mean that the internet kept disconnecting every now and then. It would work occasionally if I switched it off and on again, but only for a few minutes, or up to half an hour if I was lucky. While it was on it would, most of the time, be incredibly slow. So of course, it was very frustrating, especially when I needed it for work. So this continued until I went on holiday, and presumably during, until the Monday after we got back when it went completely. That was the 21st, I believe. We gave it a couple of days until we phoned our phone/internet company (TalkTalk). We had to phone them about four days in a row at sme point to get them to take notice and to actually do something about it. They actually finally called us back while I was writing this (just after ‘needed it for work’, if you’re interested :p), and I have plugged the router in the main phone line (downstairs) and at the moment it’s working. I have to leave it on overnight and they’re going to call back in the morning. At least, they say they will…
In the meantime I have gone crazy with no internet. I used my aunt’s a few times but I didn’t want to take advantage. I even bought one of those ‘broadband on the move’ things, a pay as you go one (I didn’t want to pay £10-15 a month for something I wasn’t going to use). Its speed is an impressive 7.2 Mbps. 
So yeah, I have pretty much neglected everything web-related, and I hate it.
