Whilst I would like to say that I vanished on a New Years birthday bender and its taken until now to recover, my new year was crappier than a Glastonbury portaloo, and Ive basically just had no internet access. Im also still not back in Brighton, but I will be tomorrow (and very much looking forward to being back).
Thank you lots to everybody for all the birthday wishes, I hope everybody had a fantastic new year and that youve all put on as much weight as I have.

Sowhat have I been doing all this time?
Not much.

New Year was a bit of a pisser as I couldnt go back to Brighton, and all the people up here refused point blank to go into Nottingham with me. So we went to the Tavern in Long Eaton (I should point out that this particular group of friends spend on average 3 days a week in this pub, apart from Tim who goes there Every. Single. Day. Its not even a particularly great pub. Weve started referring to it as the Winchester). It was a nice night but we did have to suffer the entertainment, in the form of some guy singing assorted hits from the 60s-90s and making them all sound exactly the same. In his break he gravitated over to us, as more or less the only group of under 50s in there, and set about trying to persuade us that Im a goth really, I sing in a different pub in Chesterfield on Tuesdays, its all Guns n Roses and stuff, I have New Rock boots and everything! I dont normally dress like this, like a *looks around nervously* chav I point out that he is dressed more like a matador than a chav. He looks confused and fiddles with his mullet. We have to promise to come and watch his act in Chesterfield before he will leave.

I went to Bakewell (where I went to school) to meet a friend, and had an enjoyable time feeding the ducks. Until the geese got a bit rowdy and I had to beat a hasty retreat if I wanted to keep my hands. Had a nice little bonding session with some Japanese tourists as we vied for position to take pictures of swans. I forget that its so pretty around here.




I played the Sims 2 far more than is strictly healthy. My laptop cant cope with it so I have to get my fix when Im up here.

I got painfully addicted to Harry Potter I say painfully because I borrowed them all off my sister and now I cant find the 5th one and Ive been dying to read it since Saturday. And the 6th is sitting there all shiny and tempting.

Ive been catching up with these guys

Who I miss very much. Ill have to make do with the ones Im stealing in Brighton, but theyre not as good.

I've been marvelling at the wonder that is Pete Burns' lips. Scary.

I am in desperate need to get to a comic book store for the next installments of the ones I got for xmas. My eyeballs are itching for the next issues.

I narrowly missed getting shat on by a battalion of attack birds. Twice. I was standing at a bus stop and heard two little *splat* noises - they'd obviously been ganging up on me, one just missed me by about an inch on the right hand side, and one just missed me on the left. Bastards.

And to show what a spoilt brat Ive been, heres a selection of my favourite gifts this xmas. Not that youll be able to tell what half of it is. I should turn it into a game and get you to spot things, but Im lazy and the only person who cares what I got for xmas is me.



Tell me of exciting things.
