Me: I drew a fried breakfast yesterday.
Bronagh: What for?
Me: For an advert for a cafe.
Bronagh: Oh, I thought you were going to say to eat it or something.
Livy: What? It doesn't come to life after she's drawn it. She's not Penny Crayon.

I have had face-to-face social interaction with only two other human beings today: one was a man who works for Orange giving me my new phone, and the other was Impossibly Hot Guy from upstairs (!!!) who got the lift at the same time as me and gave me a smile and a wink.

A nifty and slightly amusing little tool to determine with which of the parties running in the European elections you most align. It clearly has some truth in it, but then descends into utter bollocks, as my top three recommended parties were the Lib Dems (*eyeroll*), the Greens and then….the Tories. *shudder*
I like to think I did my bit for anti-fascism today by glaring at the BNP...
Technology is brilliant.

– the reason why I love the name Olivia so much.
Possibly the most powerful speech of longing ever made from one woman to another (technically!). I don’t buy that Viola/Cesario was directing it to Orsino really, she was totally hot for Olivia. :P

I hope I’m going to like it here.
I worry about others when they try to escape their problems by running, but I run too. I’m always running…though I tend to run towards things with a great big fuckoff grin on my face instead of running away screaming in terror. Having said that, I’m running away from this city soon; I ran away from my home town, vowing never to go back; I...
