Randomocity in OD

I’ve just made an appointment to give blood. Still waiting on hearing exactly what time I have to go. Why am I mentioning this? It’ll be my first appointment using my shiny new silver card!

(Not that I’ll actually get to use it, cos they sent me the health check form so they’ll just use that instead.)

Thinking about getting a new badge for my rucksack.

Also need to see about getting a cork board for my room. Getting sick of having to hunt around for important documents.

Also really wish I could afford OD+. I miss the longer notes and I really, really miss not being able to search my diary.

Went to see Scott Pilgrim last weekend. If you haven’t seen it yet, why the fuck not. Go. Now! (I don’t care if the cinema is actually shut. Wait outside till it opens then go see it.)

Got some writing done yesterday. I finally got my article for 9:06 written (and was surprised to discover that I’d written about something I hadn’t thought I had) and a couple of articles for TTZ including one which references both World Wars (and a fictional third one), The Time Travellers Wife, Donnie Darko and Watchmen. To be honest, I think that one is the strongest article I’ve written yet. Two morw to write including, for those of you who read the zine (and if you don’t, you should, cos it’s awesome, download it from the link above) another Tweet Vortex, which I’m looking forward to writing greatly.

Had a couple of fun afternoons this week. Wednesday, met up with the folk from my creative writing class. I did think I’d have to pull out due to a lack of fundage, but someone kindly offered to pay for me. We were in the restaurant for about 4 hours just talking random nonsense, just like we do in class. It was great meeting up with everyone again.

Though I think I may have been talked into a night out with two of them. Both of whom smoke on nights out. Looks like I’ll need a big pouch of baccy then…

Yeaterday, met up with a couple of friends for a pint or five. Again, we talked random bollocks (mostly football). Annoyingly, we went to one place that had selected drinks for £1. When we tried ordering these drinks, we were charged full price. Until the manager came along and I pointed out the mistake to him. Then it got corrected. The person serving us claimed that there was nothing she could do despite the offer starting at 6 and us getting there about 6:15. GRRRRRR!

Still not heard back from SFX. Keeping those fingers crossed.

Currently having fun with the priority inbox in Gmail. Tis a good idea, wish they’d done it before.

Have a fun pic of me, taken at a friends house with her hat:
