Iesus Non Amat Me

My old journal theme was depressing me. It wasn't bad or ugly, it just didn't fit with the sunshine and flowers of springtime that I've been seeing a lot of lately. So now I have a shiny new journal theme to look at and enjoy. And hopefully encourage me to post more because I am yet again neglecting this place. I'm a bad person.

Of course my other problem is that I have nothing to talk about. My life is very boring. And with Battlestar Galactica over I'm currently without an ongoing obsession to squee over/complain about. Of course Prison Break should be back soon, maybe I can get back into writing about that.

For now I will share my pain with you. And by that I mean my physical pain because I appear to have done something to my back to make it hate me. Ow. I assume I did something at work but it didn't actually start hurting until this morning, so I don't know.

Every time Livejournal changes something, people complain. It's a fact of life and I understand how annoying that must be for the people who run the site. Often they'll do something in the hopes of making the place better only to be faced with comment after comment whining about how stupid it is.

This time, however, I think the complainers have a point. The new profile page is fuck ugly. Why would you do this to us, Livejournal? WHY?!

In other news, I am never going to get anything done again because I'm spending all my time watching this link. Too cute.

Hello everyone. I know it's been quite a while since I've posted here. I just haven't felt like saying anything for ages. I also haven't checked my email in a while. Hopefully it's not too infested with spam.

So, the main things that have been going on in my life:

Lily died last Monday night. She was my last rat. I now have a lot of small animal treats that I don't need and am trying to find someone I can give them to.

Fury is making the most of his new access to my room. It's actually quite sweet. He's not as evil as he used to be, which is good.

My brother and his girlfriend are in Greece right now. I am so very jealous.

I completely missed the deadline for the Geekfiction elements ficathon. I might still try to write the story, but I'm also still trying to get Sara/Snoopy done. I'm really bad at this!

I went to London on Saturday, which was fun. Hot, but fun.

I'm going to try to update more regularly and comment on other people's posts more. (Not saying I'll be successful, but I'll try...)

Last night was excellent. Lots of pretty explosions. We burnt Parliament and the conspirators. Strategic firework placement meant that it looked like the building was actually exploding for a while, which was very cool.

The only downside was that every time there was a particularly loud firework I would worry about the rats, so I didn't enjoy it all as much as I would have liked. They seemed ok when I went to check on them though, which is good.

The rest of the evening was great as well. I hope everyone else had a fun time, too.

Today I have written a few more words for NaNo. Not nearly enough though. And I miss the Progress Report where you could compare actual and expected word count. I can't find it this year. Do they not have it any more?

Also, I really wish this LJ email notification problem would be fixed. I'm far too simple-minded to remember everywhere I've commented and go back to check them all for replies.

Account type: Permanent Account

Yes, I did it. I decided that it was worth it considering I use LJ pretty much daily. And it's not like I have a buzzing social life to spend my money on.

I still have 85 days of paid time left (with 78 days of extra userpics) which I can now give away to someone. Anyone want it? after_thought16 - want to experience the joys of a paid account?

Now I just hope I'll be able get a job soon and start making some money. Preferably working with children. For the past couple of nights I've dreamt about being back helping at primary school. I'm so happy to be there, but then I wake up and feel very disappointed that it was just a dream.

Livejournal has gone pink... Fortunately it's not TOO offensive a shade, otherwise I might have had to hurt something.

Also, being a vegetarian doesn't make you intelligent, but being intelligent makes you more likely to be a vegetarian:

Bright children are more likely to reject meat and become vegetarians when they grow up

Good to know. =D

I have added three new icons to my extensive collection, including the one I'm using for this entry which is one of my favourites.

Should be a new Prison Break tomorrow. Although since I'm no longer in Canada I'll have to download it in order to see what happens. Sara and Michael have been apart for far too long, it's about time they found each other again and head to Baja to have hot monkey sex talked.

In other news, after many years of saying I'd do it when I had time, I have finally signed up for NaNoWriMo. All the years previous I'd been too busy since it fell right around the same time essays were due in, but this year I do not have that problem. The problem I do have however is that I have absolutely no idea what I'm going to write about. Maybe Sara and Michael...going to Baja...

I have such a one track mind, it's terrible.

I am looking forward to writing it though, simply for the typing. It's strange how much I missed it. My hands feel like they have a life of their own and just want to type things. It's just that other than livejournal entries and emails I haven't really felt inspired to write much at all. I know I should get around to writing up the entries about Canada, but strangely they feel really hard to do.

(Also, my back has decided it hates me and wants to cause me pain for absolutely no reason I can see.)
