At some point I'll have to put up photos of my beautiful new desk (see last entry for details ^^)
I actually built furniture myself, it was fantastic!
For my birthday weekend I went to visit my parents who presented me with an A4 Intuos3 graphics tablet, possibly the most wondrous thing I've ever owned! (aside from the desk, Mikael) I look forward to becoming the best artist in the world now.
They also drove me to Arundel Castle to ogle it and plan how I might marry the Earl of Norfolk who I think is the guy who owns it. I still desperately love all things medieval and would love to live in a castle.
Then this week signing up a customer for membership I read on his driving license that his address was Compton Castle. 'An *actual* castle?' I rudely enquired. 'Uh..yeh...It's my parents' castle, I moved out a couple of years ago' came the response from Walter Raleigh Gilbert, whose name I slightly mocked as a heavy one to live up to. Turns out after I googled the castle that he actually is related to the actual Walter Raleigh. OOPS! But he was only a year older than me and I could so marry him. His castle isn't remotely medieval looking though. He sold lots of rubbish Xbox games, for those of you who are fans of the little details.
Today I started a new medication for bipolarity which was originally for epilepsy and it feels like a trip so BRILLIANT! It should subside after a week though and make me normal and chilled. Wicked!
Also this week I investigated the National Debt Line and found myself eligible for a free Debt Management Plan which has saved my bacon a bit, but also scuppered it a bit as I was hoping to get hair extensions next month and if I start the plan then I won't be able to afford it. It will be a year and a half before I can buy any luxuries again in fact. Gutting. But who needs luxuries?
While nobody in fact needs luxuries, I still feel I need more hair.

Thanks for the 'add' m'dear! I was looking for your profile earlier but couldn't find it!! I still have your old profile (Teela) on my friends lists, hehe!
Wow, a fun time you've been having, and a belated happy b'day to you! What a coincidence that you were at Arundel castle - i drove past there on Friday twice on my way to a and back from a work meeting at our Hampshire office.
There's a nice pub in Arundel next to the river that we sometimes go to...the Black Rabbit I think it's called, or something. Gimmie a shout if you'd like a trip out there again one weekend! I need an excuse to get the Z4 out....(I'll mail you my contact details...).
Great news that you've had a positive breakthru with an appropriate. medication..sounds good! Positive also that you've come to a good arrangement with your debt management plan, but it saddens me that that brings with it a period of austerity for you. Likewise, If you fancy a night of champagne cocktails let me know...another thing for which i seek any excuse....
Home built furniture rules, how awesome are you!?
Living in a castle would be cool. I now live in a victorian asylum....hehe!
Anyways, spk soon
luff,
mark.

It's still the Howard family of Catherine Howard-Henry VIII fame. If you ever want something to illustrate just how ancient Britains nobility is that's it in a nut shell.
Arundel Castle is utterly beautiful and totally fake. Rebuilt in the 19th century after Cronwell had flattened the original back in the 17th. In a siege the current castle would be as much use as the first 2 little pigs houses.
Pointless history lesson over. Sorry about that, it's the sort of thing I can't resist talking about.
