...It always reminds me of the real king. RIP.

NAYS:

Looks like we've lost the battle to the cats -_-  Sadly the bunnies will have to be indoor-only *sigh* They were just too terrorised and tormented whilst we were out at work today, Sora had reverted to her former self, growling, boxing and trying to bite me...she hasn't done that in months, she was just so scared. It's not worth the risk...but even bringing them inside the cats stand against the french doors glaring at them and scaring them through the glass, which it's absolutely ridiculous to not only be confined to our own house but also to have to shut the curtains all day. However.... removing the bunnies from the garden now opens up a whole new type of weapons.....24/7 deterrants!  I can install rape-your-fucking-ears sonic posts in the garden to hurt the cats ears without having to worry about the bunnies, and at least keep them away from the house. To be fair, 3 of the cats (Jasper, Fudge and Squirrel) have pretty much buggared off for the most part so I have no war with them. It's just the neighbour's two new cats ¬_¬

I also had a bad day at work today. My boss has decided to blame me again to save face and I don't know how much more of that I can take ¬_¬


YAYS:

On a happier note, indoor bunnies means that I get bunnies inside all day and all night ^_~ I can even creep down in the middle of the night and curl up next to them and fall asleep. Er, not that I ever do that already of course <_<;; >_>;;

Also got new home insurance ~ Previously was costing us £17.83 a month, it's now costing us £10.23 a month *_* It means we're insured for another £25,000  worth of stuff than before, the Wacom Cintiq's are under special declared items, and best of all...tenant's cover is automatically included for free so if the rabbits ruin the carpets and they cost £X,000 to replace when we leave the house, we can claim it on the insurance 8D

Also, today I bought Christmas *_* Beat that~! :D

1. Finding hay in your hair or stuck to your clothes or carpet is no longer a bother to you, more of a daily ritual.

2. Your hands always smell of cucumber, celery, nasturtiums or other typical strong smelling bunny food which you feed because you know they love it.

3. You no longer hesitate to pick up little bunny poops from the floor that have strayed from the litter tray, in fact, you now call them affectionate names like 'poopsies' or 'raisins' rather than poo and even inspect the poopsies daily to ensure they are all a regular size and shape, if they aren't, more fibre (and fretting)!

4. You find yourself having many discussions about rabbits to your friends, it is one topic you always want to talk about, and can't understand why people get bored of your endless bunny chat.

5. You chat more about rabbits than your work colleagues talk about their own kids

6. You spend most of your time when doing the weekly shopping at the vegetable section, trying to remember what veggies are safe, and what would be a nice change for them.

7. If you forget your favourite food whilst shopping, you will do without, but if you realise there is not enough fresh vegetables for the rabbits, you rush down to the shops.

8. You will happily put off getting those new jeans you wanted or those shoes that would go so well with your blue top, if its the only way you can afford to get the bunnies their vaccinations, their favourite big bale of hay or some new toys you saw on that bunny online shop.
9. Overall, you probably spend more money on your rabbits than you do yourself

10. You have been nodding and agreeing to everything said on this article!


...Eh...I was nodding all the way down ^_^;;

May have gotten slightly carried away with Banana Bread...

( So it seems that I need to devise some way to keep the goddamn cats out of my garden before they kill my bunnies (and therefore before I kill them)... )
I realise that a large number of my LJ friends are cat lovers and/or cat owners, and I’m sorry if you find my view on cats to be upsetting and you don’t approve of it, but imagine if you had to constantly keep your cats inside the house because of a pack of dogs who go for your cat in its own garden every time it steps out the back door :\ It's hardly fair is it?

But if you ARE a cat owner, can you tell me how you deal with neighbours complaining about your cats? Do you:-

1) Get angry at other people for scaring your pet/throwing water at it, because nobody has the right to scare someone else's pet away even if it's causing a nuisance. Your cats can go wherever they want and do what they want.
2) Allow other people to scare your cats off their property as long as they don’t physically hurt them

I’m genuinely serious about this one, I want to be prepared for potential backlash from my neighbour :\ (who never talks to us anyway...)

Little mouse, who lived under the garden decking. You sat with me in the spring sunshine eating berries as I ate rice talking to you. Luna had just passed away, and I was glad for a little friend. That was the only time you came out whilst I was in the garden, though I saw you frequently from the house scuttling around on the decking as little mouses do.

I was so sad to find you this afternoon, tucked up in a little ball, having been attacked by a cat ;_; You couldn't have been there long before I spotted you, but I'm glad that you made it to the safety of the rabbit run to pass away with the bunnies without becoming cat food. Rest in peace, little friend x

Remember this entry from March? tigerangel-hel.livejournal.com/120722.html

Well I ended up buying both pairs and I have absolutely LOVED the gold pair. They were so comfortable I wore them around the house as well as random places like going to the gym, tescos, friends houses etc.  They turned out to be even more comfortable (and more funky) with socks *3* Unfortunately though, as I have worn them every day without fail since March, they're now a bit worse for wear. 2 of the straps have fallen off one shoe and the soles have holes in from overuse. I looked on the brantano website a whiel back to buy a new pair and was sad to see they no longer sold them, eventually I knew I would one day have to buy a different pair and so today, with a broken shoe-heart, I set out to find that pair.

However!!

I went onto the website and what did I see? THESE SHOES!!! reduced to £12!!! Only available in....Size 8!!! *______*

I just bought 2 more pairs, feeling SO lucky that today must be a lucky day ^___^ However I know the luck will run short because they have a 2 week shipping wait but with Royal Fail's strikes I probably won't get these until Christmas (but what an awesome Christmas present it will be *_*!)

"Not everyone has a free choice about controlling their weight."

Did I miss something, or is there some reason why overweight people wanting to loose weight can't do so if they put their mind to it?

...I have joined Facebook. Yes, the apocalypse is upon us, frogs are raining down from the heavens, cows are jumping over the moon and pigs have advanced to flying in space.

Please remember though, my privacy is important to me and I normally only share it with a select group of friends who I trust to keep things private, so don’t be offended if I don’t add you back as a friend if we rarely speak or if I don't really know you that well. It’s nothing personal.

(Except for the people I don't like, then it's personal XDDD)

Happy birthday mithrandir2k !!!!  Hope your day is filled with cake and sparkles~! ^3^

I made pizza for the first time today and, whilst it wasn't huuuge, IT WAS DELICIOUS!  It also had 5 cloves of garlic on this little thing so nobody can come near us for at least 36 hours 8D guess which side was mine XDDD

Not feeling so great today -_-; woke up with an aching head, aching joints and sneezing. To be fair, I’ve been sneezing for 2-3 weeks anyway without it coming to anything and my joints have ached since Thursday because of playing rounders with work colleagues without warming up properly. So I know it’s not an onset of flu/etc, but generally just a bit of a run-down feeling. Maybe it's just because it's Monday? XD

I think I just need more sleep, yeah that’ll do, but until I can get to my bed this evening I think it’s time to break out the painkillers and dose myself up on caffeine-rich tea...

At least I get to have home-cooked Pizza Express this evening ^__________^ they're sat in the fridge waiting to be omnomnom'd *3* and I plan to buy my first ever clove of garlic today to add to it and see what happens 8D You would think that, being a  garlic-fiend I would have actually bought it raw before now but noop, never have. This shall be fun *3*

This still cracks me up every time XD I love the Wallflower so very much.

Never make a bet against me over the contents of a Dominos Pizza menu :D I always win so it would be hugely unfair on you ^_~

*win*

I eat Yorkie bars
I love McCoy’s crisps
I reheat pizza for breakfast the following morning

These are all 'man things' and therefore according to my colleagues, I must be a man o_O;;

Lame title XD but it sure beats Facepalm Friday :)

Here's another YouTube vid, celebrating what were (in my eyes anyway) the better years of anime...

I twisted it good :(

This actually happened this morning on the way to work, I went over sideways on it (like what happens sometimes if you’re wearing heels that you can’t quite walk in…) and normally it doesn't hurt too bad when that happens but oh god the pain this time!!! I wish I could say -  the ground was uneven, or there was some other reason why it happened. But no, my mind was preoccupied plotting something in Makenai with Scott and I guess my brain’s auto-pilot for ‘simple walk on flat ground’ just failed epicly. I was even wearing flat trainers FFS...

I gritted my teeth, carried on walking as if nothing was wrong and the pain kinda went away a while later but since I went out at lunch it’s come back with a vengeance >_< I know full well that I should be doing the R.I.C.E treatment for it (rest, ice, compression & elevation) but I’m at work and don’t really want to draw attention to myself. May just have to do this when I get home...but I have a hill to climb to get there TT_TT

(Minor note: They really need a 'PAIN' mood option, since 'sick' doesn't really cover all physical pain)

Sitting here at work, marginally hungry, when someone came back from holiday and brought me back a foriegn chocolate bar that looks an awful lot like one I used to buy, but sadly they no longer make them. It got me wondering.

Does anyone else remember Cadbury’s ‘Top Deck’? It was dairy milk chocolate with a layer of white chocolate on top. You could only buy it in large bars and it was a bit more expensive than regular Dairy Milk, but mmmmm it was scrumptious! *_* I think they still make it but you can't ever seem to find it in shops :\ which is a shame as it was really my favourite cadbury's bar...

There was also the Nestlé 'Secret' bar, which was yummy too. It had fine strands of chocolate woven horizontally across a creamy nougat centre. One end was always, always empty of nougat and you got to crunch the wonderfully delicate chocolate strands on their own *_*

Anyone else remember the deceased chocolate of the 90's with such fondness, or am I on my own? ¦D

So, in a week(-ish) of using Firefox rather than Internet Explorer, I have accumilated 6 keyloggers and 1 trojan. Hmm!!!  Think I'll head back to IE8.

Also I realised, I have fallen out of practice at drawing guy's arses (with clothes on, I mean - not naked XD) so I may spend a portion of today drawing male characters from behind. It's the clothing creases I'm failing on rather than anatomy, but all the same, such a damn shame to have to draw bishie butts all day... 8D 8D 8D

(BTW everyone, I'm not dead from chlorine gas inhalation! Woo! 8D )

I would be lying if I said half of my inspiration didn't come from this as a teenage artist-in-training *_* This may possibly be why I drew super huge eyes in my earlier work 8D But anyway, my soul cries for anyone who has not seen the Ranma OVA.  (Not the TV series, that was a bit....beige...)
