First of all:
A (ridiculously) belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO
trueroyalty and HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO
neverwinter for the 23rd.
Best wishes to both of you and I hope you have (and had) a good time celebrating.
Second of all (yes, it seems this post will be in crazy list format):
I have been on half-term break since last Thursday, and somehow I manage to make even less time for the internet, if that were even possible. FAIL.
Third of all:
Very sadly, on Sunday my guinea pig, Carrot, of four years (she would've been five on January 30th) passed away. She'd been suffering from water retention for a couple of weeks, so she proabably had liver or kidney failure. We'd taken her to the vet and gotten medication (although the outlook was bleak anyway) and she seemed to be improving a bit, but unfortunately on Sunday she looked really ill, and passed away in the evening. It was especially sad because she was a guinea pig I bred (I still have her mother), so I've known her whole life. RIP Carrot ♥
Fourth of all:
On Saturday, my parents are taking my friend D and I to London for the
MCM Expo. It's in Canary Wharf, and we'll be staying over night, going to the Expo again on Sunday, and then going home. Although I don't seem it, I am crazy excited about this, mainly because I have never been to a convention before, and because the list of guests includes Tom Baker, Craig Charles, Angel Coulby and Katie McGrath. I can't really comprehend the fact that Angel Coulby and Katie McGrath will be there, at a Merlin panel, so I think I'll probably dance around and scream a little bit when it hits me properly. I've been trying to plan this for weeks, and little obstacles kept popping up, but finally, about a week ago it all got sorted. I love visiting London, and I've not been since August 2008, so YAY ME really.
That was all. I still feel incredibly guilty about how much of a sucky LJ friend I am, but on the plus side none of you guys have defriended me yet, so I am eternally grateful for that.
Peace out y'all.
