I got a couple of large spots and my hair was a mess and I looked into my handmirror and said to Felix mournfully, 'I look ugly. I'm not pretty...'

'Don't be silly, of course you're pretty. You didn't think I went for your personality  did you?!'

I didn't know whether to hit him or kiss him.

On a different note, I'm ill. It's really annoying. It's ( Read more... )

I am sitting on a £3000 chair (currently in use as the office chair) and just got an email from a woman whose family own an oil well. Yesterday a friend of my boss popped in and impulse bought a £900 vase. This job is a bit surreal.

Apologies for going on and on and on about kittens. 
They've taken over my brain and are controlling it with their tiny little paws. 
Miahahahahahaha. Mew.

Mistou and Crayon are getting much more settled now. They're a lot more relaxed, are sleeping more, eating more. They ran around the downstairs bit and went behind the piano and got all dusty. I think seeing most of downstairs was a bit too much excitement in one go for them.

They're also getting more CUDDLY. Especially Crayon, he really loves ( Read more... )

We met them on Thursday and we took them home this morning. 
They are ragdoll cats: http://www.tbrcc.co.uk/
So called because they are friendly and love being held and relax and go a bit floppy.

My kittens are both boys, brothers of the same litter. They are 17 weeks old. 
They are called Mistou and Crayon. Mistou is a lot smaller ( Read more... )

The evening Felix first told me he wasn't sure about our relationship, I was at Louise's during the day and I'd decided that I'd cook us mussels for dinner. I'd decided to go straight to the supermarket from Louise's and then go home so I looked up the recipe using Louise's internet. She got quite excited at the prospect of my cooking mussels for ( Read more... )

I don't want to have to tell everyone individually etc so here it is: felix has split up with me for good. No there is no particular reason, things just don't feel the same apparently. 
Don't post any consolation messages; they will just irritate me.

Thank you to Alex Shaw for keeping the channel on MTV2. That was sweet in a funny way.

I've decided not to go on livejournal for a while. I'm not sure if it will last; it probably won't. 
But for the time being please email/phone if you want to tell me things.

Oh good god why on earth did I even bother to borrow 'An Analysis of Syntactical Patterns in Old English' with such exciting Chapter headings as 'Prepositional Phrases: Patterns in the Clause'  and such elucidating senteces as 'The third is elliptical with the includer not expressed for the second clause in a series'  ?

Sometimes I despair.

WHY are people so bloody incompetent???
The guy that is annoying me most at the moment is the new Old English seminar teacher - he's not a proper staff member as such, has a one year teaching fellowship. This year the only 2 staff members who are specialists in Old English are on research sabbatical and were replaced by two one-year teaching fellows ( Read more... )
