This April Fools Day is not quite as good as last years which continued to amuse me right up until the end of October (check out the comments). Of course this year we do have a wonderful round of people making jokes that just. Aren't. Funny. and getting heavily flamed for their troubles.
Ah the jolly lives we lead.

From Neil Gaiman's blog (copied in full because I can't direct link):
I turned on the news.
Male newsreader: "It looks -- for now -- like the Iraqui missiles have stopped dropping on Kuwait, although the all-clear sirens haven't sounded. Tonight should see the beginning of Operation Shock and Awe."
Female Newsreader: "And the Big Question on Everybody's Lips is -- How will all this affect the Oscars?"
Male newsreader (realising that this may be a slight gaffe, trying to fix it): "Er, the big Entertainment Question, you mean."
Female Newsreader (irritated at being interrupted): "Well, it's all we're thinking about in LA."
I turned off the news at that point, feeling like I was living in a rather broadly written satire.
Was also playing around with Luke and the sloganizer we came up with:
The Best Snellios A Man Can Get.
Nothing Comes Between Me And My Hnk (awww from Luke)
Strong Enough for a Man, Made for a Snellios.
Have You Forgotten How Good Hnk Tastes?
Double the Pleasure, Double the Snellios
Would You Give Someone Your Last Hnk?
Who Would You Have A Snellios With?
I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for Hnk (*ahem*)
and the epitomizing slogan: Happiness is a Cigar Called Snellios!

I've been saying this all day, and then some last night too. But isn't it wierd that we're at war? At 2am (GMT, 8pm EST) we went to war. As someone who's never really experienced that it's well, wierd.
It's also odd that this almost silent war, which (they claim) will only affect and endanger those of us in that part of Europe. It'll never "touch" us. One of my friends commented they "don't know if it's worse if they're right, or if they're not".
AB2 linked me to this. Funneh cartoon with an amusing comment to go with it. (I'm stockpiling pancake batter.)

Mark your calendar or Palm V. You can expect to die on:
February 25, 2083
at the age of 95 years old.
On that date you will most likely die from:
Cancer (21%)
Alcoholism (12%)
Alien Abduction (9%)
Third Degree Burns (8%)
Homicide (8%)
Suicide (7%)
Contagious Disease (7%)
Loneliness (7%)
Drowning (5%)
Interesting stats from the DeathTest:
12680327 people have taken the DeathTest.
Of those, 55% were female and 45% were male.
The average life expectancy of test takers is 67 years.
10% of test takers have hairy nipples.
4% have had team sex.
8% work in the porn business.
And 234291 people claim to have leprosy.
Btw, for those complaining about the text body being too small, your screen resolution is too low. Nick made a special "flexible design" for my site which means for instance if you minimise it then you can still read it. For me my blog looks like this and if it hasn't for you before than bah. Yes it's small, it's called a design. Oh, and you can quite easily change the size of your text body on LJ Barry, if you actually tried :-p.

So you've got this open source organisation (that means their software is free and available to everyone) who have "customers" (or users) all over the world using their super!makical!wonderful!text editors. Then you've got this other, non-open source company who are sending out threatening letters to people claiming that the free software they're using is Microsoft's and they'd better remove it quick. Under the mistaken belief that the open source software was their own.
Of course they didn't actually check such trivial things such as what the software actually was before sending out such disturbing amusing emails.
Nick got one of them too.

Yesterday's entry was my 500th (w00t) and looking back have found about 40 unposted entries. Shall now post them sporadically. This one is from the 7th of April, 2002. I'm guessing I'd just put up that crappy little shrine I'd made for Lij. Remember that? With the awfulness? Yeah? Well, we liked it then.

Yes, my life is like an IM chat. Only with more chicken.
Speaking of IM chats, let's never mention the one I just had with Luke ever again.

Joss Whedon answering 100 questions for SFX Magazine = teh funneh
26. Which actor gives you them most backtalk? The one I fired.
27. Which writer never agrees with you? The one I killed and ate.
28. Which movie would you loved to have written? Revenge of the Jedi.
31. What's the most irritating question a journalist have ever asked you? "Angel is a vampire?"
47. For budgetary reasons, you have to do a "clip" episode of Angel. How would you make it different from the norm? It would only be the clips of Wesley falling over.
48. What was your nickname in school? "Who are you again?"
58. Do you feel Saddam Hussein might become a better person if he watched Buffy? Couldn't hurt. Bush could use it, too.
67. How did you vote in the last election? Against that ass-wipe, thank you.
71. What story will you never tell on Buffy, Angel, or Firefly? "Wow, smoking pot is wrong, I see that now!"
78. Have you ever broken the law? Mostly just kidnapping ...
79. Which car do you drive? Mine.
85. Which show on U.S. TV at the moment do you love ... other than your own? There are other shows?
100. Are you pleased this questionnaire is over? Sweet muscular Jesus, I never thought I'd get through it. I mean, no.

I downloaded 12 songs in the space of 20 minutes and half way (or so I though) through the last one Kazaa started to run backwards, as in the amount of song downloaded started to decrease.
That was wierd.
Anyway, now I have practically the whole of the Josie and the Pussycats soundtrack (only 24mb!) which will go nicely in my wenching folder. (Which I should not listen to whenever communicating with Luke.)
On a darker note, people like this make me feel quite ill. Can we set MsA on them?
at 07:18 PM
I just can't resist it.
Yes I'm evil, and I probably should have warned MsA that I'm from fandom_wank and therefore full of The Snark.
I've also had to send many apology mails to prreciousss about previous incidences (not involving me, but my wanking friends). I am the side of Evil.
Oh, but look, Very Very Gay updated!
And eeeeee! The card! Oh Martin it's lovely ^_^ (Well not 'lovely', 'awesome' XD) The pic you did is so great *eeps* And a letter! I got a letter! It has the word 'meh' in it! And like, dude, you have nicer handwriting than me. *jumps around squeeing* It rocks, and although without glitter is far superior to the one I sent you (slightly less pink though).
And Luke's card! Hugs and kisses! Tis I! And it says Ent on it! And is like all sparkly an' stuff.
Keziah and I gave a load of guys (beautiful) homemade cards complete with packets of love hearts and (saucy!) messages. That was of The Funneh.
So yeah, Valentines Day is to be made fun of *pokes it* Did I do a good job already?

hee. Although it you have to realise that Bailey is a true domlijah fan. Which is..... a viewpoint.
In a discussion on Fandom Wank today, someone mentioned this link as the best way to advertise your viewpoint in a flame war, or whatever. If you scroll down you may see 'Clark + Lex 4 Eva'. When is MsAs birthday? The fandom should so club together and have 'Domlijah 4 Eva' in orange and yellow.
Today was cold and wet, yet again. There's not really anything more to say about it except that the girl I sat next to in English managed spectacually to drink ribena throughout our English lesson without our teacher noticing, despite the fact we were sitting in the front row.
Ya know though, if you really love me you'll buy me Sean Bean's pants. Am so glad this is an English charity, pants means one layer further here! They've got Graham Norton's too.

Sean Bean has also mentioned that he will play Odysseus in one of Orli (and Brad!) s new films 'Troy'. It's about, well, Troy. Bean and Orli, together again! That would rock.
Oh, and, my mistake. Those wierd little teenies who write into magazines about how Elijah Wood has ruined their lives because they can't be with him, they do go online....
Did I mention how much AB2 rocks? Because, squeee! Hnk + kitteh = gooooood.
at 07:08 PM
wellllll, that was rather a bizarre one. and snape isn't right, but it could be worse. the plot's rather worth following alone, though i think that what with being generally unremarkable, this story would have been better shorter. you know, sort of like when the trailer's more interesting than the movie? oh god. am using movie examples. send help.
or viggo.
mmm.
Whee! Dom was on uk Drama in Hetty Wainthropp Investigates, that was 9 years ago when he was only 18 and in sixth form! He was kissing this girl on one of the episodes (they showed 2) but I knew he was really thinking about Lij *nods* DOMLIJAH 4 EVA!!!!!!!111

2003 does not appear to be the year of good will and pleasantries. In fact, with the news of impending war, less snow (in the uk) and Angus Deaton's sad removal people seem to be getting in the mood of hate.
Let us look at this; about a day ago I discovered this comment in the seemingly harmless and amusing comments of my review from the 5th viewing of Fotr:
The "Elves are gay" comment leads me to believe that the commenter hasn't read the books, and doesn't have a firm idea of what Elves are. Or maybe not even an idea of what Lord of the Rings is about. Grow up and try again. :: Bill :: LOTR #5
This person obviously hasn't read about Fingon and Maedhros who went around rescuing (with much batting of eyelids and cuteness) and then sending each other presents, just because. Or actually looked at Haldir. Or in fact, learnt anything about the elves and all they stood for. And the 'grow up' insult? So passe.
Then there was this pleasant little note left in my LJ concerning my decision to destroy Amazon due to them recommending Bakshi to me on my wish list:
im just wondering, not that ive seen bakshi so i dont actually have an opinion, but do you not like bakshi because it isnt very good or are you just being a bit pretensious about it?
there are always open-minded people who have very wide tastes and amazon has to keep them in mind, probably more so then the less open-minded people. :: Phil :: Comment 12.
I'm just wondering, is the bitterness showing much here, or is that just me? *snerks* Only one who has not seen the film could say such a thing.
*skips off to be a pretentious wench*

In one respect, this case presents no difficulty. Never in all my years on the bench have I seen such an clear-cut case of irreconcilable differences that neither time nor counseling will cure. The litigants are of widely different backgrounds, ages, species, social classes, time periods, technological understanding, educational levels, and life expectancy. They wish to reside in different time periods and civilizations; Ms. Sue wishes to resume her pre-marital consumer lifestyle, Prince Legolas wishes to remain a hunter-gatherer.
Mary Sue may have snagged her elf, but one quest, two children, and three years later it's DIVORCE COURT!

Thinking back today I was wondering. When did it happen? When did we stop talking about GW. When did we stop playing Petz. When, oh when did we become Lotr furikus? If I really wanted I guess I could trawl through my old blog entries, but they just tell the facts, not the reasons.
I suppose it must have happened gradually, we went to see the film for my birthday, 3 of us had seen it before. All of us liked it. I had read the books. Elvea went and read the books. We all quite liked the guys.
We went to see it again. Went through a few websites. ff.net was a goldmine. Livejournal I had only touched upon, not realising what it was. Quickly dismissing it.
Note: After writing that decided to thoroughly research this subject as I am now v. interested in our obsessional Lotr history.
Looking through the archives of my blog, I can see that in late Jan. I posted something which mentioned far too many people hogging the screen in The Faculty. Now I recall, that (maybe?) my friends came round for my birthday (Thurs) to watch the Faculty, and we went to see Lotr the next week as my birthday weekend I went to my aunts (shopping, squee!). I also recall now that I had been wanting a Lotr poster for some time before that, but that shopping weekend was my first chance to get one. That was Jan 13. Orli's birthday.
Very soon afterwards (around the 20th) I mention that I had read some hilarious spoof diaries of Lotr, namely the VSD's. Also about seeing the hobbits, Orli and Liv on TRL.
Just gently scrolling through I can see things like lots and lots of Lij pictures, talks with people about how crazy for Lotr we are and things like (I cannot believe it was 7 months ago) me telling 'Faith' it was too a bush. By March 25th Izzi had an LJ. (I remember the convincing I had to do to get her not to have her username as 'Poppy', which means that nickname was around.)
Now I've gone a-searching, the first time that 'Poppy' is mentioned is early february and Elvea is late february. Kym is mentioned late Jan, but that was a carryover from GW.
More scrolling and I see squeeage about the TT trailer, fanfic reviews, me gradually loving Orli, getting those TT posters, Franka, Mary-sues, that large cluster of Mary-sueites who seem to have taken up permenant residence in my my Figwit post, the Gap ad, some tuely beautiful Viggo quotes, finally joining the Rings Thing, Orli lots of Orli, DVD excitement, that fanfic and quite a few icons.
Looking through our emails (of which there are alot) I see Izzi worrying about becoming obsessed with Lij (hee.) lots of talk about when next we will see the movie and alot of talk about the Viggo soundbite ^_^
All in all I can only conclude that once we saw the movie that was it. We were hooked. Never even thought to look back, never thought there was any other way. I see no gradual change, no small steps into obsession. Just Lotr furikus all the way. And that makes me very, very happy.

Day 170: Found a sweet little stray tabby kitty with white markings on it's nose and tail outside our house this morning. In hopes that it was Legolas, took it in and fed it. Now to wait for him to turn back.....
Day 173: Still waiting.
Day 174: Mother gave kitty to a friend to take to vets. I know Legolas will come back. And as soon as I manage to get off this chair I'm tied to everything will be fine.
Day 175: Apparently kitty died. Maybe not Legolas after all.
Day 176: *bounces around* PANCAKES!
Day 177: Recieved flyer in mail this morning: 'Missing! A tabby kitten with white markings on nose and tail. Call this number if you have any information'. Ah. *shiftly look*
Day 178: Westron is possibly the stupidest language ever made. Sadistic westron-speaking poets especially. Am commencing plan to force everyone to speak Quenya. Valina.

I felt it necessary to find a word to explain the type of people who are really, online townies. (Don't you just love the way you always have to use words to explain what other words mean? So that really they support each other?) They type of people who write 'I LUV ELIJEH WOODE SOOOOOO MUCH HE IS MY NOE TUER LUV' OR 'u suck u stupdi himopobic wench, lOL!!!!11'
They are so named because they are the type of people prone to writing long, gushing reviews to other mary-sueites such as themselves, saying how much they loved the story about a girl from the 20th century who magically falls into Middle Earth, is raped by Boromir and marries Legolas because it's 'so real and true to Tolkien' (I wish I was making that example up, I really do.)
You know who I'm talking about, they're everywhere; flaming you because you didn't write their OTP, or throwing a fit on a message board or (dare I say it) writing Mary Sues themselves. Fortunately (unlike in real life) they are very easy to spot, usually announced by their lack of punctuation, spelling or basic manners. Less fortunately, they are very hard to avoid.
I feel the only thing I really can do with Mary-sueites is ignore them, knowing they will never go away, but that however, they will one day die. Until then I shall sit here: reading my fanfics, chatting on my forums and updating my blog/journals, safe in the knowledge that if a Mary-sueite utters one 'LOl!!!!!!111' anywhere near me, they'll get their ass flamed off.
But I never take flames very seriously anyway, they're put to much better use toasting my muffins. Want one? (The bunny does.... )

There's one born everyday. Usually they just contend with shovelling on hidious amounts of makeup or hanging around Watford, but sometimes they grow up to do something like that.

Imagine if instead of cryptic, geeky text strings, your computer produced error messages in haiku...
A file that big?
It might be very useful.
But now it is gone.
Yesterday it worked
Today it is not working
Windows is like that
The Web site you seek
cannot be located but
endless others exist
Chaos reigns within.
Reflect, repent, and reboot.
Order shall return.
ABORTED effort:
Close all that you have.
You ask way too much.
First snow, then silence.
This thousand dollar screen dies
so beautifully.
With searching comes loss
and the presence of absence:
"My Novel" not found.
The Tao that is seen
Is not the true Tao, until
You bring fresh toner.
Windows NT crashed.
I am the Blue Screen of Death.
No one hears your screams.
Stay the patient course
Of little worth is your ire
The network is down
A crash reduces
your expensive computer
to a simple stone.
Three things are certain:
Death, taxes, and lost data.
Guess which has occurred.
You step in the stream,
but the water has moved on.
This page is not here.
Out of memory.
We wish to hold the whole sky,
But we never will.
Having been erased,
The document you're seeking
Must now be retyped.
Rather than a beep
Or a rude error message,
These words: "File not found."
Serious error.
All shortcuts have disappeared.
Screen. Mind. Both are blank.
heh.

Another year. That scares me, alot. More than the impending GCSE's, more than the fear that my mind might have tuned to mush, more than the thought of more Haldir come Christmas time. (Although less than the thought of Viggo singing come Nov.) Ah, two LOTR references in just as many sentences of my first 'AH SCHOOL I HATE LIFE but love Orli' post, life is happy again.
I took a break from blogging because it was the holidays, the summer holidays people. Spending most of Christmas on Neopets to colect all the free gifts, fine; spend almost of all your time on The Forums leading up to and after new years night, perfectly reasonable; spend the whole of your summer glued to the screen, you're in trouble.
The break helped me to update my site (see it in all it's shining glory!), helped me clear my head and made me realise how much I use my blog, just jotting down random, silly ideas or ranting about the newst Josh Hartnett *spits* movie.
Whilst away on one of my holiday adventures I got this little thing made up! That's Tigger on the right ('cos I'm so bouncy an' wonderful) and a gecko on the left, (because.) What happens when you eat too many pies... (actually just when you angle the camera too low.)
Then just took a few random photos of me right now!
Me (I hate braces)
Me (making sure my eyes didn't fall into the heavily-lidded-look they always get, no I'm not on drugs *glares*)

Virus Warning
This virus warning is genuine. There is a new virus going around, called “work.” If you receive any sort of “work” at all, whether via email, internet or simply handed to you by a colleague.... DO NOT OPEN IT. This has been circulating around our building for months and those who have been tempted to open “work” or even look at “work” have found that their social life is deleted and their brain ceases to function properly. If you do encounter “work” via email or are faced with any “work” at all, then to purge the virus, send an email to your boss with the words “I've had enough of your crap... I'm off to the pub.” The “work” should automatically be forgotten by your brain. If you receive “work” in paper- document form, simply lift the document and drag the “work” to your garbage can. Put on your hat and coat and skip to the nearest bar with two friends and order three pints of beer (or rum punch). After repeating this action 14 times, you will find that “work” will no longer be of any relevance to you and that “Scooby Doo” was the greatest cartoon ever.
Send this message to everyone in your address book. If you do NOT have anyone in your address book, then I'm afraid the “work” virus has already corrupted your life.

The things you'd really like to say...
I can see your point, but I still think you're full of it.
I don't know what your problem is, but I bet it's hard
to pronounce.
How about never? Is never good for you?
I see you've set aside this special time to humiliate yourself
in public.
I'm really easy to get along with once you see it my way.
I'll try being nicer if you try being smarter.
I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message.
It sounds like English but I can't understand a word
you're saying.
I like you. You remind me of when I was young and stupid.
I'm already visualizing the duct tape over your mouth.
The fact that no one understands you doesn't mean you're
an artist.
Any connection between your reality and mine is purely
coincidental.
I'm not being rude. You're just insignificant.
This isn't an office. This is hell with fluorescent lighting.
I started out with nothing...and I still have most of it left.
If I throw a stick, will you leave?
Errors have been made. Others will be blamed.
Whatever kind of look you were going for, you missed.
Too many freaks, not enough circuses.

Air DOS
Everybody pushes the airplane until it glides, then they jump on and let the plane coast until it hits the ground again. Then they push again, jump on again, and so on...
Windows Air
The terminal is pretty and colorful, with friendly stewards, easy baggage check and boarding, and a smooth take-off. After about 10 minutes in the air, the plane explodes with no warning whatsoever.
Windows NT Air
Just like Windows Air, but costs more, uses much bigger planes, and takes out all the other aircraft within a 40-mile radius when it explodes.
Mac Airlines
All the stewards, captains, baggage handlers, and ticket agents look and act exactly the same. Every time you ask questions about details, you are gently but firmly told that you don't need to know, don't want to know, and everything will be done for you without your ever having to know, so just shut up.
UNIX Airways
Everyone brings one piece of the plane along when they come to the airport. They all go out on the runway and put the plane together piece by piece, arguing non-stop about what kind of plane they are supposed to be building.
Linux Air
Disgruntled employees of all the other OS airlines decide to start their own airline. They build the planes, ticket counters, and pave the runways themselves. They charge a small fee to cover the cost of printing the ticket, but you can also download and print the ticket yourself.
When you board the plane, you are given a seat, four bolts, a wrench and a copy of the seat-HOWTO.html. Once settled, the fully adjustable seat is very comfortable, the plane leaves and arrives on time without a single problem, the in-flight meal is wonderful. You try to tell customers of the other airlines about the great trip, but all they can say is, "You had to do what with the seat?"
Please tell me you found that funny, if you didn't then I'll have to force feed you keyboard keys one by one until your l33t skillz grow ^_~

Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!
JERRY: Tonight on the Jerry Springer show we have a particularly interesting episode! HnK is here to finally confess something to a long-time friend of hers Kym. So everyone please put your hands together for HnK!
Jerry: Okay, now HnK you're here to talk about someone aren't you?
You: Yes.
Jerry: And what is this other persons name?
You: Elvea.
The crowd SQUEALS with delight.
Jerry: Okay, okay, well Elvea, is actually here tonight -
The crowd SQUEALS.
Jerry: But first we have a surprise for you HnK, because as it happens there is someone else here to see YOU! So let's bring out... Poppy!
You: What the HELL!!!
Out of nowhere you pull out a Flame Thrower. Poppy reaches for the Marshmellow Stick. Out of the shadows Pagan-Gerbil appears.
Pagan-Gerbil: Wait everybody wait!
Jerry: Yes, everybody let's just calm down for a moment here. First tell us why you're here Poppy.
Poppy: Because I saw HnK and Pagan-Gerbil making out at Legolas' secret lurrrrrve shack!
The crowd goes absolutely INSANE.
Pagan-Gerbil: That's a lie! I was home watching Aragorn's Guide to.... *cough* fencing !
Jerry: (raising his hands) Hold on, hold on, I'm missing the problem here...what exactly IS the problem Poppy?
Poppy: Because I've recently been taking part in a sexual relationship with Kym who has recently become engaged to Pagan-Gerbil.
The crowd hollers, screams and whoops in an orchestra of orgasmic excitement.
Jerry: Okay, okay. Well why don't we bring Kym out here because HnK had something that they needed to tell them anyway about... Elvea that's right!
Kym: (enters onto stage and saunters over towards you) What's the deal? I saw you outside getting it on with Elvea! You know I'm how I feel about Elvea!.
Pagan-Gerbil: (screams) What? Why the hell did you ask me to marry you if you're in love with Elvea!
Kym: Because I knew that I could never have Elvea. But HnK promised me that they'd never hook up out of respect for my feelings!
Pagan-Gerbil: What about respect for MY feelings!
Poppy walks suddenly across the stage, embracing Kym.
Poppy: Don't worry baby, you don't need any of them now that you have me.
Again the crowd SQUEALS.
Pagan-Gerbil: Oh my God! Are you SICK!
Pagan-Gerbil runs across the room and wraps their arms around you tightly.
Pagan-Gerbil: HnK take me away from all of this!
You: You see? That's the thing...I'm...well, I'm married...
The crowd does its bit.
Pagan-Gerbil: Married?
You nod.
Pagan-Gerbil: Who the hell are you married to? When...when did this happen? I don't understand!
You: The other day. In Vegas. I'm married to Elvea.
Kym: (screaming) WHAT!!!
Jerry: (grinning widely, makes an enquiry) So...did you have a nice wedding night?
Elvea: (stepping back out onto center stage) Well we had sex 0 (you know why, because we didn't HA! *mutters* stupid perverted script) times if that's what you mean.
The crowd squeals.
Jerry: Okay, okay. So let me get this all straight... HnK is married to Elvea who Kym has secretly been in love with for years and years. Now Kym has recently become engaged to Pagan-Gerbil who was recently spotted kissing HnK in the Legolas' secret lurrrrrve shack. Now on top of this Poppy has just admitted to being in a sexual relationship with Kym.
Elvea: That's right Jerry.
Jerry: (looking sternly into the camera) It is times like these that one has to wonder, whether or not these people are aware that they are quite clinically insane. Perhaps we should be spending more on psychiatric health funds in this country, perhaps we should just ban Vegas to cut down on impulse marriages. Perhaps I should get a new job. Thanks for watching folks it's been great but for now...it's goodnight.

The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not "Eureka!" (I found it!) but "That's funny."
-- Isaac Asimov
COURT DOCKET - CASE OF THE PREGNANT LADY
A lady about eight months pregnant got on a bus. She noticed the man opposite her was smiling at her. She immediately moved to another seat.
This time the smile turned into a grin, so she moved again. The man seemed more amused. When, on the fourth move, the man burst out laughing, she complained to the driver and he had the man arrested.
The case came up in court. The judge asked the man (about 20 years old) what he had to say for himself. The man replied, "Well your Honour, it was like this..
When the lady got on the bus, I couldn't help but notice her condition. She sat under a sign that said, "The Double Mint Twins are coming" and I
grinned. Then she moved and sat under a sign that said, "Slogan's Liniment will reduce the swelling", and I had to smile. Then she placed herself under a
sign that said, "William's Big Stick Did the Trick", and I could hardly contain myself. BUT your Honour, when she moved the fourth time and sat under a sign that said, "Goodyear Rubber could have prevented this Accident"... I just lost it.

Driving to the office this morning on the Interstate, I looked over
to my left and there was a woman in a brand new Mustang doing 65 miles
per hour with her face up next to her rear view mirror putting on her
eyeliner! I looked away for a couple seconds and when I looked back
she was halfway over in my lane, still working on that makeup!!!
It scared me (I'm a man) so bad, I dropped my electric shaver, which
knocked the donut out of my other hand. In all the confusion of trying
to straighten out the car using my knees against the steering wheel,
it knocked my cell phone away from my ear which fell into the coffee
between my legs, splashed and burned Big Jim and the Twins, ruined
the damn phone and DISCONNECTED AN IMPORTANT CALL!!!!!!!
Damn woman drivers

*grin* I love this little spoof things, especially with Star Trek. I'm not a trekkie or anything although I do know more about it than the average person. I blame that on one of my old best friends being a trekkie and sky showing them every other program!
Not that I'm trying to explain anything away, don't look @ me like that! Stop it!

OMG we just won tickets to the TWO TOWERS PREMIER in London!!!!!!!!!
Ok so we (well my Mum) were listening to some boring radio 4 programming when it came on that they were doing a prize draw for the TT premier where you had to phone up with the answer to some question about the archers.
Now my Grandma is an archers freak and although I've never done this before I prodded Emily enough to phone up and we got them!!!!!!!
I'm so excited we're actually going to be in the cinema with like Elijah and Orli!!!!!
I can't believe it I'm just happy, WE'RE GONNA SEE 'LIJ!!!!
SQUEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
I have to go and dance around some more now, I can't believe it!

This entry will mark the 100th post made by me (and Kym) to my blog. Sure some of them haven't been released yet, they're waiting, lurking in the misty backwaters of where-ever it is that I type this *cue mystical music* just praying for the day when it's 3am and I'm too tired to think of anything to type so I stick that in instead.
So yeah anyway !:D:)100th Post Aniversarie:):D!
You may be intrested to know that although this is the 100th post, 932 comments have been made (that's almost 10 per blog entry!) and I've only been blogging for 68 days!
I guess I talk too much or something *grins*
Since it's Easter now I'll probobly be averaging about 3 posts a day as being on the computer 24/7 tends to give you something to talk about ;-)

Ok so first thing on a Monday morning we have games....... first thing on a Monday morning.
You know Mondays, you wake up after your wonderful exciting/relaxing/fun (etc.) weekend @ (horror of horrors) 7am, drag yourself out of the most comfortable bed there's ever been, throw on some clothes and stumble off to school/work. You want to sleep, you want to rest, you want to not think or move for the next 2 hours...... and you have games. Games in the cold and wet, games in the cold and wet and mud, games in the cold and wet and mud with sadistic teachers screaming @ you when they're all wrapped up in their nice little fur jackets.
Well thankfully we had a break from that today with the house matches, house matches for netball. I haven't played netball for a year, I kept my head down and (suprise, suprise) wasn't picked for the A or B teams. Which meant that I and Faith (and Kym and Izzi if you wanna know, but they're in different houses so they are of course, the enemy) got to play with the Tolkien Quizbook for an hour whilst stupid little people ran around chasing a mock pigs bladder.
After that we had maths, and not just any maths, mock SATs maths. I hate maths. I know all those people who are doing GCSE's, A levels and degrees don't think of SATs as a big deal, but they are, for me. Anyways after writing complete rubbish for an hour (why did they put me in the top group, WHY?!) we then had history. History was fun, I have no complaints there, let us move on.
Ok so every Monday after History we have an English 'library lesson'. This is basically where we get to read books for 35 mins (1 period) in the library instead of our English classroom. This has been a weekly tradition since year 7. But not today. Nooooooooo no today, they had to choose today to break the tradition of a life time (I never said it was my lifetime, it's the lifetime of a small possum with only 1 day left to live *sniffle*). Because we're preparing for our SATs (don't you just love Shakespeare?!) instead we had to do other stuff, other stuff not involving relaxing with a comphy (LOTR) book for half an hour to escape the drudgery of school and drift into the magical world of snooty, poncing elves and small men with hairy feet.
Then it rained @ lunch, all lunch, and the library was closed. Moving on *twitch* we had a science test, a long science test, next to 'Max' who kept copying my work. Quite amusing really, to check someones doing this you put the most stupid answer ever, work forward a few pages then sigh, go back to that question cross it out and put something else. Then wait. The copier will almost immediately do the same, works every time *grins*
Went back to Kyms house and teased Samwise (Sammy) her cat, with long pieces of string.
We were supposed to collect our french exchange @ 5:30, they were 45 minutes late, we had to wait 45 minutes @ the school. Joy of joys.
Then we had fencing, and our first test for the One Star award. We didn't know we would be having it today, then we did. But we (Faith, Kym and I) all passed YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That concludes my day. *waves a little flag*

Anyway for some seriously cool fun (this does not sux0r5) check it out!
at 07:21 AM
ned.com is gonna hate me for doing this. Taking up space on the server, bandwidth, slow (er) page loading time, maybe slightly illegal, the general tackyness of this stuff, possible hatred of the song.... *grins*
They made me *points @ 'friends' who are trying their best to look innocent*
Anyways, now May It Be is up for all to hear and if ya don't wanna hear it *mutters* furi-ku, you can turn it off.
