OMG YOU GUYS I JUST GOT TICKETS TO SEE STEPHEN MOTHERFUCKING HAWKING DO A LECTURE AT THE ROYAL ALBERT HALL IN OCTOBER!!!!
We each exist for but a short time, and in that time explore but a small part of the whole universe. But humans are a curious species. We wonder, we seek answers...

In an extremely rare public lecture, one of the world's greatest ( Read more... )

So, tomorrow is my last day at the HPA.  It doesn't seem like only a year and 3/4 I was just starting there.  Seems like I've been in London forever.  I found out today who's buying my leaving present.  Pros: It's my best mate in work.  Cons: It's my best mate in work...it's been mentioned that there's a sale on in Ann Summers at the minute.  I don ( Read more... )

So the funeral went about as well as a funeral can.  The church was full, there was about 70-80 people stood at the back too.  The wake was well attended, there was about 250 there.  There was copious amounts of alcohol drunk (pernod oh sweet jesus why? it's rank!), and I staggered the mile home in heels and a skirt with a broken zip (which spent ( Read more... )

The title of this entry makes me titter like a loon.

So far today I have not physically spoken to one person.  It's a bizarre yet quite nice feeling.  I've cleaned and tidied the front room and am in the process of making a pretty good bloody lamb casserole, if I do say so myself.  Haven't actually tried any yet so it might be vile, but it smells ( Read more... )

Maff took a video in which you can see me and Grace suicide-pacting it when we realise we're in the final few, but we're having ~technical issues with cropping it.  We were planning on doing the whole back-to-back Charlie's Angels deal, but we turned on eachother approximately 3 seconds in.  The story of our ( Read more... )
