and i am KNACKERED and i have no idea why....

it could be my new noisy neighbour-what-lives-in-the-flat-above-me... he was hoovering at half nine on sunday morning, and when i knocked on his door to let him know there are people living below him (he's only just moved in) he was really rude and nasty! since then he's been up at 7 and walking his elephant around the flat...
bastard...
and i'm too scared to complain about him incase he breaks into my flat and kills my kitten or something...

so yea. i'm terrified of the elephant hording kitten murderer.

um dee hum dee huim

OH MY ZOIKS my eldest sister is pregnant! woop woop huzzah!

and i have nothing else to day for now. although i was sure there was something...
ooh! we'll have tv on friday! (we dont at the moment, because none of the wires coming into the flat seem to be connected with any aerials =s aw that's a great song...) but friday is sky-is-coming day so huzzah for friday.

and now i shall go with the hopes that who-ever pops along and reads this goo is good and finds that i have cheered them up for the day, and maybe they'll come back ^^ (and find that i write in this, like, once a month? mwahahaha...)

http://www.pupforum.com/store/intro.cfm?category=Calendar&searchterm=Pyrenees&shoptype=category

but i'm in a rush to go to class and i need this website later for my dad!

so yea... it's been awhile no?

lots has happened, what with living the high life in carmarthen.
we have a kitten! she's a tiny ball of fluffy evilness. woop woop. i have evidential scars.

yes evidential is a word. shuddup.

we were unable to get the net though - no-one had lived in the property for over six months, so BT wanted to charge us £130 just to connect. so i said hell no we'll do without, and now we're moving again anyway! woop woop! we'll still be in carmarthen, but it will be DRY, WARM, and it will be far more spacious. we're moving in a week and i am bouncing off every possible surface with excitement ^^ http://www.thehomerentalcompany.co.uk/propertyDetails.php?pid=48055 --> my new flat!

and i still dont have a teapot. but at least now i'll have room for a christmas tree which is EXTREMELY important in my books. love christmas to tiny incy bits.

hokay, off to a lecture now, and now that i've remembered my password i can come back! so yea... buh bye

and i'm being imaginative as far as titles go.

10.25am, and i'm waiting for 11am to roll by so's i can watch To Buy or not To Buy.... i'm addicted to that show, i loves it ^^

but yea, tis only 10.26am and i've already done lots of complicated-owwy-my-head stoff =D i filled in a form for housing benefit, and i filled in another form for the council because i'm a student, and i phoned the water people, the council tax people, the gas people and the electricity people to let them all know that i'm going to be living in my cottage next monday so i would like all their services pleasies. then i phoned student finance to tell them i'm moving.

now i'm taking a break, and later, my father's taking me out to see if we can find any cheapy sofas! huzzah!

my parents are buying us a new bed, because it's doubtful whether the one we've got will fit - the new bed, when we get round to ordering it (need to measure stuff first) will take FOUR WEEKS to arrive.... so we're going to borrow the matress so sleep on the floor with. but it's all good, cos we'll be living in our own space, and i wont have my father bossing me about anymore *happy sigh*

*sniff* Whitards have got a clearance sale on (in my carmarthen branch anyway) and it took all of my self control yesterday not to buy all their teapots. and then kenj said we wouldn't need a teapot anway!!! it's true.... i make my tea just in the mug.... but still.... they were cute.... and half price....


i'm going now cos i need to print off a map for my sister to know where i'll be living ^^

It my last week at home!!!! Monday 25th June we get the keys for the house we put a deposit on today! well, i say house, it's more like an open plan cottage - http://www.swiftrelocations.co.uk/indexfull.php?PrRef=71

it's newly done up, and it's very cozy and cute. i'm excited but also really scared - i'm leaving home for the first time! *sob*

well . . . i've finished uni . . .

my parents have gone on holidays for two weeks . . .

i've got two weeks off work . . .









AND I'VE GOT A PUPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
she's the most adorable ickle thing in the world! well . . . hardly ickle, she's a pyrannean mountain dog ^^ there're photos of her here - http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2337&l=3e996&id=505794435
*bounce*

Today i had my oral presentation for Visions of Society! (Cultural representations in C19th Lit..)
i did mine on Victorian childhood and the child, as represented by Lewis Carroll in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. i am so hooked on that book, as well as Through The Looking Glass. and the stuff we've been learning is soooo interesting. i hadn't realised that in Wonderland was the first children's book of its kind - it released children's literature from the didactism that suppressed it; it was the first children's book that did not attempt to teach a moral.

so yea that was all good ^^

all i've got left to worry about is Thursday, when i've got a timed essayfor my Romanticism module. i'm not entirely sure what i'm doing for that yet . . . but i know i've got excellent lecture notes (due to my excellent lecturer ^^) and i took loads of books out from the library =(^*^)= -mew

my parents are going on holiday to Corfu for a fortnight on friday!
and, i've got the next two weekends free from work as holiday!

so i've got a looooot of relaxation ahead of me. which, i reckon, is well deserved.

i'm actually seriously looking forward to the opportunity of cleaning the house. when my parents are here, it's impossible - my father is such a lazy ass, if you clean you guarantee he'll make it a mess again in two seconds, and wont even have noticed that it was clean to begin with. sigh.

so yea

i'm patiently waiting for kenj to write a list of the stuff he wants for his birthday. i'm not a bad girlfriend - i know the kinds of things my hunni would love to have. but i AM obsessive, and unless he gives me a graded list i'll be terrified that what i get wont be good enough, and that he'd have been secretly hoping for something else which i didn't get him. so, to save a ickle bit of receding sanity, i'm making him write a list. yey ^^

so, bye bye for now *hugs*

. . .


i miss cookies . . .

but i have no money . . .































I SHOULD STEAL SOME!!

and now i'm bored of doing tests . . .

which means i've handed in my portfolio for business of writing *dancey dance*

i also took 15 books out of the library for two of the other things i have to do ...

i am *so* tired today! i've been driving around here there and everywhere, and for some reason i'm just absolutely drained.

i watched shakespeare in love last night! what a great film!! and omg gwyneth is *hot* in that film lol. only problem - some parts weren't acted very well, it was a bit like a panto =\

ech that £80 a week flat i posted up here not so long ago; we're probably not going to go for it, as it is a bit much. we'll probably end up having to move to llanelli, which is not at all good cos it's further away (but possibly better travel arrangements what with the train). i keep meaning to fill out those forms for the council . . . or, y'know, i could just win tonight's euro millions *sigh*

if i did win £35,000,000 though, i'd like to open up a cat rescue centre =p what would you do with that much money? i'd also go on a massive holiday - probably a cruise around the world, there're so many places i want to see . . . like Japan and China, and Egypt . . . i'd probably buy a holiday home on the continent, as well as a really big house in britain. did you know you can buy a chateux in France for a million?

anyway i'm offt to go and fill in those bloody forms

MORE QUIZZES!!

i was surprised with this one, cos i guessed most of them. i wish it would show me which ones i dot right etc -

my lecturer wasn't happy that my poem didn't rhyme... didn't have any metre... in fact, didn't have anything about it that suggested it was a poem except for its hyperbatons. whoops. so he suggested i turn it into a prose piece. which i did. and i think is rather boring, but hey the whole damned place was boring so i'm not sure how i could have made this better.
enjoy (pah)

I have always been curious about Merlin’s Hill, and the stories my father’s told me about Merlin when I was growing up. And so I took the opportunity one morning before lectures, seeing as it was my turn with the car, to visit the Merlin Hill Centre.
As I threaded my way along the narrow country road, my expectancy grew with each glimpse afforded through the high hedgerow. Merlin (or Myrddin as my father would demand) has always been a link for me to the myths and legends that make up my heritage. Therefore I was surprised when I drove straight past the place; a hint of an ice-cream sign in my rear-view mirror alerting me to my mistake. I’d thought it was just a farm; one of those farms which spread out on either side of the road, making you feel somewhat like a trespasser. Dodging the two border-collies, I reversed and pulled into the farm proper.
At half past eight on a February morning, the place was quite deserted; but there was evidence that at the right time of year it would be busier, with a picnic area, gift shop and play area. Having supposedly seen me pulling up, a woman appears, still in her slippers, and informs me that the centre doesn’t open until ten. Yet she kindly takes my entrance fee of three pounds, and switches on the lights in the museum, when she discovers I’m a student trying to do a task for class. I figure business must be slow. After inquiring if I intend to walk up the hill, which I affirm, she asks if I have brought wellies. I decline her offer of borrowing a pair, as for some reason the thought repulses me. I tell her I’ll roll up my jeans and hope for the best.
On entering her “museum”, I soon discover that the Merlin Hill Centre is more a centre on the history of farming than it is on Merlin, and I find myself very disappointed. A corner is reserved for various snippets of information concerning Merlin, and bits of poetry. There is a pair of antlers on the floor, something about Merlin using antler to protect… I become disinterested and move on. Opposite this meagre display is something which immediately attracts my attention; an artist’s impression of an iron-age hill fort. I was pleasantly surprised on discovering the unknown fact that Merlin’s Hill was once a fort, and decide not to bother reading the information or studying the drawing; but to put my archaeology a-level into practice when I reach the top of the hill.
I cross the road, and immediately discover just how muddy it is here. I try to pass through a gate, but my trainer gets stuck. It’s released with deep, slurping squelch, and I grasp at the hand rail for balance. I glance to my left and am surprised at how steep the hill really is. I pause, and to my right Carmarthen is spread and across and down the valley. I hadn’t realised how large a town it actually is. I marvel at the view, and am not even half way up yet. My hand flies for the rail once more as my foot slides in the mud and I panic. Slowly, tentatively, I ease my way up the hill in the sliding mud. But the thought suddenly occurs to me – if it’s this difficult to climb the hill, how am I going to be able to get back down again? The path is just getting steeper, and I notice there’s even mud on the wooden hand-rail.
I decide to make good my retreat, and to return in the summer (or at least when it’s drier). But will this magic still suggest itself then? Or will there be rubbish garlanding the roots of these venerable trees, discarded by sticky schoolchildren on a trip. Right now, it’s peaceful, it’s misty. The grass is sparkling with dew, and there are crows in the adjoining field, crying to the morning. I can hear the sheep in their barn. You could almost imagine Merlin’s snores as he sleeps, supposedly, beneath the hill. I buy a book on my way out, to ease my disappointment.

hey hey everyone

everyone being all the three people i know of who read this =s

i'm nearly at an end of Austen extravaganza (i'm sure i put too many a's in there). i finally ran out of stuff i had to read for college, so i was able to start on my own reading list. i read northanger abbey first - which was brilliant because it mentioned a whole load of stuff we'd just been studying in my romanticism course. i then read emma, the film (with gwyneth paltrow) of which i have literally just finished watching. i thought paltrow did a brilliant job as emma ^^ i am now reading mansfield park. i havn't got persuasion yet, and i read pride and prejudice, and sense and sensibility years ago.

waiting on my shelf also are
alice hoffman
haruki murakami
jasper fforde
nick hornby
mary shelley
george orwell
william thackerly
franz kafka
james barclay
david eddings
steven erikson

. . .

lets hope i can get through them all before my next year of college =(

i have completely and utterly fallen in love! just down the street is a woman who breeds siamese cats! and steph has been looking for a kitten, so we knocked on her door to see if she had any currently available, and she has four! two girls, and two boys - and they were the most beautiful cats i've ever seen. but she's selling them for £200 :O and as kenj keeps telling me, i should be perfectly content with my gwen and crooks =p

we're still looking for a flat in carmarthen, and have expressed interest in this one - http://thehomerentalcompany.co.uk/propertyDetails.php?pid=30997
it's £80 a week, which we might just be able to afford; but we need to see if that includes any bills, because otherwise we might not be able to. and we really need to get on the housing list with the council. gwen and crooks wont be able to come with us when we move, and hopefully we'll be allowed to get pets. kenj has fallen in love with these mice-things we've seen in pets-at-home; they're called degus - they're larger than mice, more like chipmunks, but smaller. also, hopefully, we could get a kitten. most flats advertise "no pets", but surely that's as in no great big dogs? kittens and caged rodents negotiable? lets hope so =p

i'm offt to bed now. i've not been well this week, i can't get rid of a cough and sniffle i've managed to catch. and i have to work bank holiday monday =( still, get paid time and a half so it's just possibly worth it...

night xxx

the way i could get this one to work, was to put welsh words into the "3 adjectives" thing. and even then, it seems to think i've been in loads of long-term relationships, which i havn't - i've been in one =s and a fine divorcee??? i bloody hope not!

Underappreciated The Battleaxe Deliberate Brutal Love Master (DBLMf) Sharp. Hardened. Dominating. The Battleaxe sweeps all before her, smiting and what not. You've had a number of serious relationships, so you obviously have many attractive qualities. You're well experienced in dealing with other people's weirdnesses, and it's likely you're good in bed by now, too. Also, like the drunken housewife chucking Heinekens at her no-good husband, you've got a lot of energy. People can tell you're sophisticated, and so you find yourself the object of infatuations quite often. But it's how you handle yourself in your relationships that gets you the 'brutal' tag. Controlling? Imperious? Overbearing? Yes, please. Your exact opposite: The Nurse Random Gentle Sex Dreamer Remarkably, you don't mind the same from your men. You've experience enough to take whatever you dish out. Overall, you're a very good person and a capable lover, and when the time comes you'll make a fine divorcee.

i had to retake this test twice cos the first two times it was a spider! i'm an extreme arachnophic (however it is you spell it)

How evil are you?

that wasa bit of a strange quiz ... the questions didn't seem 100% relevant and canada is not a european country :O

i'm bored again!

There's a 55% Chance That You Need Therapy

If you think you need therapy, you probably do. But there's a good chance you don't. Like everyone else, you have your fair share of problems. And unlike most people, you're fairly good at solving them yourself.

You Are Basic Panties

You are a laid back chick with a real natural beauty. You can make unwashed hair and minimal make-up super sexy. Men tend to notice you show the "real you" - and they appreciate it. And while basic makes boring for some, it looks classic on you.

Your Famous Movie Kiss is from The Princess Bride

"This is true love - you think this happens every day?"

Never Date a Capricorn

Somber, demanding, and freakishly logical. Emotions? It's not clear that Capricorn has them. And while it may be flattering for a Capricorn to be serious about you, bad news: they expect you to be super serious in return. Instead try dating: Aquarius, Gemini, Leo, or Virgo

You May Be a Bit Histrionic...

Dramatic and over the top, you crave attention. And you'll do anything it takes to get noticed. You love to be seductive, even when it's inappropriate. If you're ignored, you're easily hurt ... and act out even more!

You handle stress well - and you are a master at relaxing after a hard day. Overall, you are modest, talented, unselfish, and very reliable.

You Are Impressionism

You think the world is quite beautiful, especially if you look at it in new and interesting ways. You tend to focus on color and movement in art. For you, seeing the big picture is much more important than recording every little detail. You can find inspiration anywhere... especially from nature.

Your Rising Sign is Sagittarius

Happy and upbeat, you are always optimistic. Even when you're in a bad mood, people find you friendly. On the flip side, you're very restless and bored easily. You've been known to pick fights just for the fun of it. You've got a great sense of humor and a quirky outlook on life. Aggressive, wild, and unconventional, no one knows what you're going to do next.

You Are Best Described By...

Landscape With Butterflies By Salvador Dali

Exotic Dancer Name Is...

Diablo

You Are a German Shepherd Puppy

Your Bumper Sticker Should Be

Gettin' humped at the pump

--> i dont have a bumper sticker, but i do have one of those "baby on board" sings which says "my other car is a yoshi" =D *loves her yoshi sign*

Your Ideal Pet is a Big Dog

You're both energetic, affectionate, and a bit goofy. And neither of you seem to mind very slobbery kisses!

You Should Be a Film Writer

You don't just create compelling stories, you see them as clearly as a movie in your mind. You have a knack for details and dialogue. You can really make a character come to life. Chances are, you enjoy creating all types of stories. The joy is in the storytelling. And nothing would please you more than millions of people seeing your story on the big screen!

AND FINALLY....
the best till last

You Are an Oatmeal Raisin Cookie

On the surface, you're a little plain - but you have many subtle dimensions to your personality. Sometimes you're down to earth and crunchy. Other times, you're sweet and a little gooey.

omg i really want cookies now =(

night all

it's been insane lately.

~ my grandmother's brother died. so i've been trying to be there for her, and i had to go to the funeral t'other day. quite an awful affair. the minister, in his service, said "and Kerrie was the ninth of ten children... and now only Enid [my gran] and Muriel remain" ... what  a LOVELY thing to say  =| idiot...

~ a week last thursday, my mother won £1,500 in bingo. luckily we were on shares so she gave me £750 ^^ AWOOHOO

~ that same night, while we were out, part of my bedroom ceiling fell down. and the insurance won't pay out because it's "wear and tear" - we tried to blame the workers who re-tiled our roof not so long ago, and say there was a leak ... but it hasn't bloody rained in AGES so it's bone dry up there. no sign of any leaks. so since then, kenj and i have been sleeping on our mattress, on the floor of the living. the kitchen has been turned into a living room/kitchen, and the conervatory is now a /dining room. and our house is SMALL. it's mega squished here now. especially seeing as we also have to empty our damned room cos they're going to have to pull the entire ceiling down and re-do it.

~ i've also been obsessed with tracing my family tree ^^ i've managed to go back quite far on some sides, but have hit dead ends on others. i'm awaiting a letter from my grandfather in Canada about his parents, and my mother and i are going to go grave-hunting ... some time ...

~ i also really need to email my lecture about that poem to see if it's suitable... but i dont want to email him out of the blue, i've nearly done my proof reading task so i can send that to him at the same time.
 
~ on a plus side i'm reading catch 22 at the moment and it is AWESOME =D it's sooooo funny...

" ... Know what i mean? You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours".
Yossarian knew what he meant.
"That's not what i meant," Doc Daneeka said, as Yossarian began scratching his back.

there's just something so simple about how its written, it's wonderful after all the Victorian novels and Romantic poetry i've been reading.

right, i'm going to go make myself a cup of tea, and read some more ^^ i've got a whole load of austen waiting for my after this, then there're those Hoffman books to be read... and by then i might have next years reading list =D

night night x
 

!!!


did i post on here about my trying to find my friend????

SHE'S FOUND ME!!! ARGH YEY!!!

she's on facebook,  and now we talk through msn again, and text, and stoffs ^^ aw it's so great to here from her again. she's not changed at all though, which is scary cos i can compare myself to how i used to be around her and it's so different.

ooh ooh and also mega yeyness for my hunny who's applying for uni in september! he's applying to do english and creative writing, so fingers crossed that he gets in (*rolls eyes* i'm sure he'll get in but i'm not allowed to get my hopes... pfft).

so yea ... not sure what else to write really.... should i put more poems on here? it would of course mean writing more poems... i've handed in my poem about the merlin centre (it's the entry called Myrddin Y Merlin) but i havn't heard back from my lecturer about it yet. i'll let you all know when i do... so... y'know, you can kick hish ass or whatever if he says it's bad ^^
if more poetry on my behalf is required, what kinds of things exactly? more about my area? because as my lovely friend "anonymous" said , "... and the content is of some life i feel detached from... thanks for taking me to this world. :)" ... so what could i write about my world? i'll think of something, i've got three weeks off coming up (AWOOHOO as becca mac would say)

so i guess thats enough for now...

just, also, a quick AWOOHOO to facebook, which i'm slowly getting used to and which enables you to make random lickle groups up! yey =p

love you all, whoever you "all" may be xxx
