If this is not the end of oblivion...
Ten things you probably haven't done.
(Wouldn't say these were exactly my best moments, but at least they're unusual...)
1. Written (and performed in) a successful Fringe show and then guest lectured about it at Edinburgh Uni.
2. Gone to Ljubljana.
3. Performed in a circus.
4. Been on the radio in Spain, aged six, composing 'weather ditties'.
5. Gone to Cambridge to attend the funeral of my longstanding imaginary boyfriend.
6. Done silversmithing & screenprinting and had pieces commissioned.
7. Contrived to be sent to A&E just to get out of lectures, and been given a temporary certificate of sanity by a doctor.
8. Painted murals on my wall.
9. Tapped the vein.
10. Been possessed unintentionally. Twice.
I had to leave my Wolf in the land of hats this eve; I was not allowed to steal him even when I offered to steal his work books too. Feh. The world is rather good at sucking in mundane and stupid ways, isn't it?
As usual my life is good if I stick my fingers in my ears when at home and sing 'la la la' so as to ignore my heart-broken brother, my solipsistic sister, my forgetful mother and my hideously-overworked father. Blergh. Perhaps I should be thinking of improving ways to spend £460 I don't really have on them instead? The question is, what the hell could I get that would help? Blergh again. I need a vast amount of money. Or magic of the sort that completely and utterly kicks the world's arse. *sigh*
My keyboard is now broken as broken after my brother took it apart and cleaned it. He is lending me his as temporary compensation.
So. Do I try to buy a new one off ebay? Do I wait on the grace of friends who have one spare? Or do I bludgeon my Barclay card into remission by buying a £550 white transcended Neuron?
Yeah, you can tell I'm edging towards the last one can't you?
*Tries to think impartially and financially. Goes to talk to James and poke websites. Returns.*
I have been asked why I want to buy a new computer and what I have against my strawberry hued and tattooed imac. Nothing at all is the answer; Neuron is meekle and little and holds all my stories and pictures and music without complaint (mostly). But on the down side Neuron is a bit slow, has 100M of memory left and is amazingly incompatible with lots of things as its brain runs OS 9. (Which oddly is also a kinda plus since I hate OS X.)
Hmm. It is possible I can get a Transcended Neuron for £460, if I buy one that came off the production line wrong-in-the-head and was fixed. This is very tempting. Any thoughts?
