The Random Ramblings of Ciderbutwider

I sparkle, I feel like a sunbeam! Tracy gave me an awesome present yesterday, some body oil with gold sparkly bits in. They're really fine so I probably shimmer more than I sparkle but still, I feel girly! That's why she bought it for me, apparently we don't get enough opportunities to feel really girly! Its gorgeous though and smells amazing!

I had a really lovely day actually, the weather couldn't have been better, which is really quite an achievement for British weather! Most of us got a bit sunburnt (my scalp in particular is feeling rather tender!) but it was lovely to spend a chilled time with everyone. It wasn't a huge gathering but that was quite nice.

Amie made me a Birthday cake :) It was lovely, and had a nutella filling! She also got me awesome presents - a really tacky plastic cat for the garden being the best one by far!! My main present from her was a gorgeous purple top that her mum had embroidered with butterflies with her sewing machine - so clever! They have a row of teeny beads for their bodies. Lemara got me a great book, its full of paper for different types of lists, things to do, shopping etc - I love my lists!!! Its got a lovely brown leather cover, its really great and I'm sure to put it to good use!

Today I hosted student lunch to use up the rest of the bbq food. It was nice having people over, I should do it more often but its difficult with my housemates not knowing them, I don't want to put them out. Still, when its sunny and we can all be outside I don't feel as bad.

Anyways, should be off to a meeting now xx

...Roxy broke... I know have the lovely decisions to make like:

How do I get back to Bristol tomorrow?
When I'm back in Bristol how do I get to work?
Should I buy a new car or fix the one I have?

ARrggg... This wasn't really what I needed... I know I need to buy a new car soon, possibly this year before its MOT runs out (as its unlikely to pass it again) but I'm still really attached to the one I have. Only problem is it now overheats in less than 4 miles because the radiator is leaking. It also doesn't blow warm air anywhere, which in February, as the whether is just supposed to be getting wintery and to top all that it started making really not-good-sounding rattly noises every time I turned a corner driving home from Robin's tonight.

yeah, my baby is sick. Problem is she really isn't worth that much, her equivalent (only healthier presumably) are worth about £500 on autotrader. She's been running really well but is rusting and now this.

Main problem being: I'm quite attached to this car and really don't have time to buy a new one tomorrow.

Yays...

Still, at least i had a nice day with Robin today :)

I hate saying goodbye to this place. Everytime I come I have such a great time I don't want to leave, I'm only going away for three days but it still feels like ages!!

Definately getting harder to leave Robin.

Still, three days of work then its New Years :)

I didn't have time to play around with this too much as I need to get rolling little sausages in bacon and the like, but the sentiment still stands!!!

Have a great day!!!

Gotta love how creatures of a different dimension, which you get to by a porthole opened by reading out something with no vowels, can speak perfect English...

I love Angel, especially these few episodes where they go to the hosts dimension - the Gruselug! Ah!!!

Mmm, need a drink, but also need to carry on working...

Right, time to work. I got new brake pads put on my car this morning and planned lots of my literature review while I was waiting (and didn't get too many odd looks) so now I should be settling down and working hard! I might disconnect from the internet and just be alone with Angel and the joys of relaxing using Snoezelen...

...look at me go yay...

Tee hee, I need to start introducing my friends to each other more :) Still, this kinda makes me feel popular :) I have friends ^^;

And yeah, I am easily pleased.

You Belong in London

A little old fashioned, and a little modern. A little traditional, and a little bit punk rock. A unique woman like you needs a city that offers everything. No wonder you and London will get along so well.

heh, thats great, except I NEVER want to live in London!

*just knows she'll only be able to find a job in London now shes said that and will actually end up living there*

>.< Please, no!

I made a mask!

Never underestimate a determined OT who has glitter and superglue ^^;

On a slight negative point, I may have superglued my thumb to its nail... meh. I'll cope :)

...Ok, so I thought that my uni library stocking 'the journal of refridgeration' and not 'international journal of rehabilitation' was bad, but they really make the strangest journals... something for everyone I guess...

My personal favourites:
Journal of sandwich structures and materials
Journal of Social Archeology
Journal of Vibration and Control
Security Dialogue
The shock and vibration digest
Journal for the study of the historical Jesus

I guess everyone has their own jargon and stuff... but really... vibration and control???? I didn't actually look that one up to see what its content was...

(and by the way lilliebeth I'm not bored at all, am keeping myself very entertained putting off doing anything useful!! ^^;)

conspiricise, what a great word... :)

You are Belle. Intellectual and self assured, you
may catch a lot of flack for your disdain for
being like every other girl out there. Love, to
you, must be something very special to capture
your attention, and you are likely to be strong
willed and not easily dominated. All the same,
family (and this includes close friends) mean
the world to you-- you'd walk through fire to
help the ones you love, and you have the
strength and courage to weather any storm.


The ULTIMATE 'Which Disney Princess Are You?' quiz

Ok, I really hope this doesn't offend any of you americans, but its pretty funny...

1- Go to Google (http://www.google.com)

2- Type in the word "Failure"

3- Instead of clicking "Google Search," click "I'm Feeling Lucky."

4- Giggle

5- Spread the word before the people at Google "fix" it.

Aw, I have a pet ^^;

Thanks lilliebeth who has been using LJ for about a week and already introducing me to things!!! :D

Tee hee, I'm copying wynoah and adopting an egg... I chose a different colour though - this one looks exciting! (So does hers of course... its pink ^^)

Ok, so having series downloaded on your computer isn't always a good thing... when the series reaches its stressful climax you don't have to wait a week but have to watch the next one, even at 1am... doh...

Right, off to watch more Buffy...
