Meme answers and shizzle
Guess whose just made it back onto the first page at FF Net :-D
That made me grin a little too much, maybe.
I've booked a driving test, but it's in Cannock (allegedly Jeremy Clarkson's second-least favourite town in the country) instead of Lichfield, where I've done all my lessons with my first instructor and where apparantly it's easier to pass. O well. I'll just have to try harder.
Neither of my parents' insurance companies will insure me for the month tho, WHICH IS SHIT!
Sorry, an outburst at insurance companies that really aren't helping people to pass tests seemed appropriate. Bastards.
Been watching old videos of me and my brother when we were little. Like his third birthday, when we went to a pirate-themed play area (y'know those things like Wacky Warehouses, but not actually part of the Wacky Warehouse trademark), and this guy in a huge pirate costume came in and made half the kids cry. There's this one screaming "I WANT MY DADDY!" while my cousin, who was two at the time, was crying her wee eyes out, while her dad tried not to let her see how funny he was finding the whole thing. And my face at Christmas when I first saw my gymnastics (read: extra from Flashdance) Barbie. Pure hilarity, I swear.
And I finally finished 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' earlier. Definitely my favourite book ever. Yes indeedy.
