Went to town today, posted some letters, paid in some cheques and spent a hideously large amount of my Christmas money. I bought:
The third and fourth Lemony Snicket books
The collector's edition of the extended FotR DVD, yes the one with the Argonath bookends. And, yes, they do ROCK! :)
Lots of clothes: 3 jumpers, two tops, a dressing gown.
A cute little murder-mystery-dinner-party-in-a-box thing for Paul. The box is about 7cm x 7cm x 3cm and it was only about £3 or £4 (I forget). We just need to rope some people into playing now! Hehehe...

I've done some revision this evening, not very much because I can't seem to concentrate. But it was just enough for me to realise that I am woefully un-prepared for this exam at the moment. As per usual, I can cope with the basics no problem, but as soon as it gets complex it all goes pear-shaped. Damn it. Well, back to work, I guess.

Oh, I resisted buying Rogue Leader: The Clone Wars second hand from Game. I was v tempted, it's like Rogue Squadron but with more levels and some multi-player stuff. We wants it, we do...

I've been spreading the word about Farscape as much as I can on the web, but today I've made my own first contribution to the cause. Operation Schmooze Sci-Fi is well under-way, with me on board. I don't have a fax machine and I'm not sure I can afford to be calling the US every week - but my letters are written, ready to be sent, and my emails have been sent too. Plus I've signed an online petition which has over 16000 signatures and rising.

Here are some more links if you're interested in helping:
Operation Schmooze Sci-Fi
Farscape World
Save Farscape Central
A petition to save Farscape, the one I've signed.
A petition where you can also say how much you would donate to help save the show, to prove to sci-fi how much money they will be losing if they drop the show

If you love Farscape then please please please give a little of your time, we can do this.

I put some extra touches on my PHP coursework today. Now, if the search returns no results it gives you a message saying there were no hotels/sites found rather than an empty table. Plus, I was reminded by Sara and my Dad that I'd not sorted out the case-sensitivity issue but, with the help of a few handy built-in functions, you can now use any random case and have whitespace at the start and the end of your search string and it will still work. Go me! :)

I'm still impressed with myself for having the PHP cswk basically finished yesterday, a whole week before the deadline. I was kind of hoping that I'd finish a coursework more than 24hrs before the dealine before I graduated. It seems I can graduate a happy woman :)

So this evening I decided to have a think about my presentation, even though I really ought to do my essay first, but essays suck and this one is really boring. Anyway the presentation is supposed to be 7 mins long and a max of 5 slides, so I thought I'd start off by working out what I'd have on each slide and then I can work out what I'll actually say from there.

And now I have my presentation basically finished! I need to cut it down loads because it's currently 10 minutes long! Unfortunately, I'm not one of those people who can never think of what to say when public speaking. On the contrary, I tend to ramble. In case you hadn't noticed! :)

I'm going to the library tomorrow to get some books for my essay so I'll print my slides off while I'm there cos I don't have any acetates to print them on to them on at home.

You are a great buzz to be around and inspire people to actually get things done. Thing is people tend to miss their meals spending alot of time with you and sometimes they get paranoid and think they are spied on by the secret services. It's very difficult for people to sleep with you around and sometimes you just make people outright nervouse and anxious. As stimulating as you are, people sometimes complain of headaches, as they dont nessesarily want to go to bed with you and some people may actually become hostile and aggressive with you.

Having given up on it ages ago, Paul and I were very surprised that we both got a phonecall from Jacksons today offering us both an interview on Wednesday. Shelf-Stacking Till-Monkey I shall soon be, it seems.

I love Natwest! The bank have given me another £200 on my overdraft and I've got a few days of envelope stuffing for the university set up for the rest of this week, although the money may not go into my account for a fortnight because the uni tend to pay 2 weeks in lieu. It's something, though.

2002-08-18T01:24:00.000Z

I put a few things up for sale on Ebay about a week ago, in a desperate attempt to get some cash together. I've managed to sell a book on one N64 game thus far and I'll be sending them out on Monday. It's made me about £15, not hugely impressive but better than nowt. Ho hum.

I'm going to the bank on Monday to beg for more money, life doesn't get much more glamorous than this...

2002-08-18T01:23:00.000Z

Here are a few posts from the last few days that I didn't get around to actually posting:

Wednesday 14th August
Little Paul came back yesterday, Tom's still around and both Dave and Phil turned up so we had a nice little reunion. We went to Omar's for a curry, but Paul and I didn't buy much because we'd already eaten a little at home when Dave rang to invite us, plus we're still skint. Then we went to the Biko for a couple of drinks and some games of pool.

Little Paul was pretty tired as he'd been up early that morning for the fitting of the cable internet at their house. Plus he's still recovering from his bug so he didn't want to go on to Rios. Paul and I weren't too fussed either so us 3 went home and left Tom, Phil and Dave to their own devices.

I had a *huge* chat with several different people on AIM, some of whom I don't get to talk to very often so I really enjoyed catching up with them.

All in all, an excellent evening.

Friday 16th August
Paul and I went to the Neil Gaiman signing in Sheffield today but, sadly, Bel couldn't make it. I made us late so we had to run to the Interchange, which was pretty hard for me as I wasn't wearing my trainers. I now have three huge blisters and a big chunk of skin missing because my sandals tried to eat my feet. But despite that, and the heat of the day and our coach on the way back being about 40 mins late picking us up it was a great afternoon. We got Good Omens, Brief Lives and our copy of Coraline, that we bought at the book shop, signed. Good Omens now has a complete pair of signatures and I shall never read it again for fear of it getting damaged or something - it's a pretty old and battered copy as it is.

I read Coraline on the coach on the way home and I loved it. In many ways, I wish I'd been able to read it as a child - I think I would've loved it even more!

2002-08-14T14:28:00.000Z

One of the 5 jobs I applied for online yesterday has sent me a rejection. Ah well, better a quick 'no' than no reply at all.

I got the details for 4 jobs from the Uni JobShop. One of them (secretary/receptionist) had already been filled. I've given my details to apply to be a packer dealing with returned goods at Next in Bradford. I'm going to apply next week to help out at sessions that encourage unemployed, single parents and the over 50's to get online. I've sent my details to the JobShop to help in fresher's week with showing students to their halls.

Lets hope one of these works out...

2002-08-14T02:23:00.000Z

Sent Bel a text about the Neil Gaiman signing on Friday as I haven't heard anything definite from her yet. You don't need a ticket or an entry fee or anything, so we can just turn up. Little Paul should be around on Friday so I'm thinking I might try to persuade him that he'd like to drive to Sheffield for the afternoon ;) Me, Bel, and my Paul would easily fit in the car. Maybe even Tom too, if he's around and wants to come. I'm really looking forward to getting my Good Omens signed by Neil as it's already signed by Pterry.

2002-08-14T02:20:00.000Z

No word at all about any of the jobs I applied for last week. I've found a good online recruitment agency and applied for 5 or 6 temporary receptionist/admin type jobs. I've also requested the details of a few good looking jobs on the university's jobshop website.

Little Paul came down yesterday but had to go back to work at the pub tonight. He and Tom came over and played some games yesterday but had to leave mid board game because Paul wasn't feeling well. He's had a really bad stomach bug since Thursday and he had been feeling better but had a bit of a resurgence yesterday.

Phil is back from his dig in Shetland. I didn't think he was back till September, which is kind of weird. Anyway, he might be moving in as soon as the landlady has decorated his room. That would be cool as we really need the help with the rent. Also, Phil might be coming down to visit us quite soon, which will be nice.

Paul and Tom will be back round tomorrow at some point, I assume.

I really hope one of these jobs works out...

2002-08-08T15:39:00.000Z

So we went to Rios last night and had a really good time! Paul's cousin Hannah and her boyfriend JP were there, which was a pretty cool surprise. Nathan (Hannah's brother) was there too but he left before we got there. It was the Queen Adreena concert that night, but we forgot or we would've realised they were going to be there. Dave was his usual drunk self, but little Paul got absolutely wankered - I've never seen him that bad before. He's going to be regretting it today, I can tell you.

Still no news on the job front :(

Dave, little Paul and one of Paul's friends have come down to see us today. We had some food and played a board game. They've gone out to the pub for a bit now. My Paul and I are going to join them either at the pub or at Rio's later cos we're too poor to be out drinking all night.

I've applied for two more jobs for the (fast disappearing) summer. Temporary receptionist jobs, both of them. I should hear something within 7 days, hopefully.

Keep your fingers crossed for me. Otherwise, things are pretty quiet here.

2002-08-04T19:50:00.000Z

Well, it's been a while since I blogged - due to crazy busy life and then no 'net access. I'm back online now, sadly with only dial-up, but it's better than nothing at all.

Currently it's raining. Lots. It's been raining for days. But it's also stupidly warm, so it's not too bad.

I'm still trying to find a job for the summer but I'm not having much luck. Which is very bad because I now have close to no money. Not good. I've applied for a job at Jackson's (think Spar if you're British, 7-11 if you're American. Otherwise, I have no idea...) but there probably won't be much, if any, work until September when the students start coming back.

Ho hum.

We got our group project done in about 4 days and got it handed in on time. We won't get 100% but I reckon we've done OK.

My exams start way too soon for comfort and I have my placement interview on Monday. I'd scream if I wasn't so tired.

I met Tad Williams at the weekend which is just too cool for words! And Neil Gaiman answered a message I sent him in his blog!

I have an interview soon for a placement in Nottingham. That's really scary. I'm not convinced I'm going to get it. But I've ordered a suit and some shoes so I can at least look the part.

We have to have our group project done in just a few days. We only started coding today! I think we can do OK. But it's going to be hard.

Exams start on the 27th May. It was going to be the 24th but one got moved back. Which ought to be a good thing, but it squashed all the exams really close together; 27th, 28th, 30th, 31st. Ick.

In other news, we shaved the heads of three of my four housemates tonight. It was a joint effort between me and them and it was pretty good fun. Photos to come :o)

I know I haven't posted anything real for ages but I'm so busy with coursework and revision and working out what I'm going to do next year. Currently both my parents are finding out if their respective employers will take me for a placement next year. If neither will then I'm staying in Bradford next year to do my final year. I really want a placement because it's good experience and I need the pay and I want a break from Uni before my final year. And I want out of Bradford for a year. But if I have to stay I've found a lovely house. If it's not taken by the time I find out whether I have a placement or not.

I've revamped the Discworld Library a little recently and added an online Community so go check them both out!

A RED Dragon Lies Beneath!

I took the Inner Dragon online quiz and found out I am a Red Dragon on the inside. Remember Smaug? Yep, Red Dragon. Oh, my friend I'm in good company. Red dragons are the most vile and crafty of all the dragons. They are also the most dangerous of all dragons. As such they are the Fire Elemental dragons. Reds have a nasty tendency towards luring you in with quiet words and soft emotions, then wrapping their scaly tails around you and biting off your puny little human head. Fun, no?

But of course, Reds aren't all about killing and treasure hoarding. I like to invent creative traps, relax in the mouths of volcanoes, fly over vast forests looking for men ...er... sheep (yeah...), and pick fights. My favorable attributes are Summer, the sword, fire, courage, passion, will power, and leadership. If dragons went to war, they'd rally behind me in a snap. Well, me or a Copper Dragon. But those Coppers are wusses anyway, and I could beat one up to take command. In fact, I probably would considering my breath weapon is good old fashioned Fire, and plenty of it. Oh it's good to be the king.

2002-03-20T03:29:00.000Z

Went to give blood today (my 4th time, I believe) and for the first time they didn't get a full bag out of me. I don't think I'd eaten/drunk enough before I went so I didn't feel too good. Nothing drastic, I didn't pass out, but I was a little warm and slightly faint so I thought it best to stop.

I did get a free keyring with my blood type on as I've never remembered before. And they were giving out little soft toys of Billy Blood Drop. I think it's a student thing.

I have to finish my DSA coursework tomorrow, it's due in on Friday.

I've not posted for ages as my coursework pile is <-----------------this----------------> big and I got my new N64 and then my brother came to visit, and he left me lots more games and Paul and I are trying to find a flat/house for next year etc...

But I'll try to be better. Honest!

	Which Classic Book Are You?

Book:	Lady Murasaki Shikibu's *The Tale of Genji*.

Synopsis:	Widely acknowledged as the world's first novel, this astonishingly lovely book was written by a court lady in Heian Japan and offers a window into that formal, mannered world. Genji, a man of passionate impulses and a lover of beauty, is the favorite son of the Emperor, though his position at court is not entirely stable. He follows his wayward longings through moonlight-soaked gardens and jeweled pavilions, with mysterious women such as the Lady of the Orange Blossoms, the Akashi lady, and his own father's Empress.

Excerpt:	Next day Genji wrote a note to Tamakatsura in which he said: 'How did you get on yesterday? Were you able to see the procession properly? I am sure that, if you were, you now take a very different view about my recent proposal...' She was at first amused by the notion that a fleeting glimpse through the window of a palanquin could have altered her decision about serving at the Palace. But after a moment's reflection she realized that this was precisely what had happened. How clever he always was at guessing what went on in other people's heads!

I taste like Peanut Butter.

I am one of the most blendable flavours; I go with sweet, I go with sour, I go with bland, I go with anything. I am practical and good company, but have something of a tendency to hang around when I'm not wanted, unaware that my presence is not welcome. What Flavour Are You?

Mario Kart arrived today - woohoo! :D Plus I found out that my brother is coming up to Bradford in two weeks. Not to visit me, you understand, but to visit a friend of his who's girlfriend is on Paul's course. But as he'll be in the neighbourhood he'll probably drop by to see me. You know. lol :) Plus he's playing the Old Vic in Nottingham in the first week of the Easter holidays so I'm going to drag lots of people to see the band.

My new printer arrived today!! I've spent all day printing lecture notes, coursework outlines, module handbooks and Smarch episodes. You wouldn't believe how much stuff I've wanted to print, but been unable to, since just before Christmas. I've gone through tons of ink and paper. I hate not having a printer, it drives me mad. So now I've got one again I'm v happy :D

I'm not too sure this test is accurate...

Wow, it's been quite while since my last proper Blog entry. Lots has happened since my last post. I think. Lots of work, lots of not going to lectures, lots of spending on eBay. I've bought an N64, with Zelda, Goldeneye, Mario and Mario Kart. I really should stay off eBay.

Today I was supposed to demonstrate my UID coursework (a calculator programmed in Java) but it seems I ate something dodgy yesterday as I woke up at 7am feeling like my stomach would explode and/or I would be violently sick. I was feeling better by 10am and managed to get to the lab OK. Despite still feeling sick and, periodically, close to fainting. But I waited the whole two hours and in the end I gave up and went back to bed. Apparently, Tom, Dave and Paul all got theirs marked just after I left. Oh the humour. So I have to get mine marked next week. I'm throroughly ill and pissed off.

I'm sure all kinds of other exciting things have happened since the 15th of February but, to be honest, I can't think of any right now.

Ho hum.

I got a tie between these two:
See what Care Bear you are.

I Am A: Lawful Good Elf Bard Thief

Alignment:
Lawful Good characters are the epitome of all that is just and good. They believe in order and governments that work for the benefit of all, and generally do not mind doing direct work to further their beliefs.

Race:
Elves are the eldest of all races, although they are generally a bit smaller than humans. They are generally well-cultured, artistic, easy-going, and because of their long lives, unconcerned with day-to-day activities that other races frequently conccern themselves with. Elves are, effectively, immortal, although they can be killed. After a thousand years or so, they simply pass on to the next plane of existance.

Primary Class:
Bards are the entertainers. They sing, dance, and play instruments to make other people happy, and, frequently, make money. They also tend to dabble in magic a bit.

Secondary Class:
Thieves are the most roguish of the classes. They are sneaky and nimble-fingered, and have skills with traps and locks. While not all use these skills for burglary, that is a common occupation of this class.

Which Sesame Street Character Are You?

Life is fairly pointless to for me. It's a constant cycle of getting captured by Bowser, getting rescued by men who lust after me either due to my looks or wealth, and baking cakes. Any involvement I have in a game is fairly limited. I reinforce the bad stereotype that women are helpless beings. I am made of sugar and spice and everything nice, yet incapable of inteligent thought. Such is the life of Peach.

We finally got the 2nd part of group project finished, when Tom finally got his ass in gear and came back from Erica's. It looks pretty decent, so we just have to make sure we get up and hand it in tomorrow.

Ewwwww. I am sooooo not Jesus. All I are is a mock-savior, a wannabe-Jesus. I don't even know why I bothered taking this test. I am quite possibly a homosexual... or Jewish.

Take the What Jesus Would You Be? Quiz

So apparently I am not Jesus. No shit. :)

Neutrino was excellent - in some ways it was stereotypical amature theatre (I know, I've been there :) ) but it was very amusing nonetheless.

Got up v late today (went to bed v late, as usual) and went food shopping. We spent a hideously large amount and we were there for ages - I'm not sure why it took us so long. I did some work on the group project when I got back and then got convinced into going out to Rios. I'm really glad I went though, it cost me and Paul £6 between us for entry, a bottle of water each and to put both of our hoodies in the cloakroom. It wasn't a huge rocking night out but it was good fun and we danced to some sweet tunes.

I'll finish the group project tomorrow and get Tom to read it over and correct any mistakes etc.

I guess that's it for today, it's been pretty quiet.

What Pattern Are You?

2002-02-12T15:49:00.000Z

Today is a good day.

We finally caught a mouse in my room last night - the one that seems to have been in my room every night for the last four/five days! It didn't get stuck in the trap, but it must've got a mighty blow to the head because (according to Paul, I wouldn't look) it staggered around for a bit then just fell over and didn't move again. Poor little mite was only tiny, but it had to go.

I got my prolog coursework back today - 96%!! Pleased is an understatement :D

In the last few DSA lectures we've been doing some stuff relevant to the coursework I got a really bad mark on and now I know why I got such a bad mark and what it was I did wrong. This is reassuring - I might even go back and do the questions again for my own benefit.

Nishka wants to send me a cheque for the LotR CD I sent him so I went to check with the bank to see if I can bank a cheque drawn on a Canadian bank account. Apparently, as it is only for ~$6 it will be fine :D

Paul and I are hopefully going to the Theatre in the Mill tonight to see a show called Neutrino, which looks really interesting. That is, if there are any tickets left...

Oh, I forgot - Rob brought me a graphics card on Wednesday, it's great! :D It turns out that the Harry Potter game still wasn't detecting my card due to some problem with a .ini file. I went onto the EA website and they told me that, and to just delete it. Now the game plays fine. My sound card is pretty crappy so the sound isn't brilliant, but otherwise it's all good.

Things are still mad hectic. We've got to get the 2nd part of our group project in on Friday and we've not started it yet. We got our UID coursework not long ago and I've finished it already! It's a calculator programmed in Java - ick. I got the GUI done on Wednesday and the functionality done last night. Now I just need a couple of pages of write-up and I'm sorted.

Out mouse problem is getting worse. I saw one in my room twice yesterday evening and then it kept me awake when I went to bed. Didn't get to sleep till 6am and even then I had the light and the stereo on. I had enough trouble sleeping as it was because Paul is away and I can't sleep when he's not here. Today, I heard it an hour or so ago. It seems to be coming in under my window (where I can't see because my curtains reach the floor), running along the wall (under my desk) till it meets the adjacent wall, running along there behind my bedside table and the bed and out under the door. I heard it squeaking (which it always seems to do when it comes up under the window) and them some scrabbling so I threw a can of deoderant over there pretty hard and it seemed to fuck off back to wherever it came from. Plus Tom saw one in his room today which is a first. The main problem is that none of the carpets are laid properly, there are no carpet grippers at the edges of the rooms so the mice are just coming up through gaps between the floor and the skirting boards. If the carpets were laid properly then at least they'd have to chew threw them and we'd know for sure where they were coming up to set traps or block up gaps. I'm going to get Dave to ring the council tomorrow and if they're shut over the weekend then Paul will do it on Monday.

I really hope Paul comes home tomorrow. It's all up to his mum who's giving him a lift. I don't think I can sleep here another night without him. I don't want to tonight, but I have no choice. If he can't come back tomorrow I don't know what I'll do.
