First off thanks to everyone who sent me birthday wishes, presents, etc. I had a pretty good birthday this year. Dyed my hair stupidly bright orange and purple. Went to the Turtle, met up with some friends for drinks and then headed on over to ZeroDegrees for yummy pizzas. Checked out the new Rising landlords too. They’ve cleaned the place up a lot, but insist on having all the lights on full brightness all the time and they’ve taken the side shades off the strip light above the table football table. I spent most of the time blinded and my mates were all silhouettes.

Got most of my OU stuff through. I’ve managed to read all my set texts, in fact I only have the DVD of ‘Bhaji on the Beach‘ left to watch. Looked through my Assignment questions and got terrified! Looked at the student forums and saw almost everyone doing AA100 is equally terrified – felt much better! Got my Tutorial dates through as well, was a bit miffed at first as I’m meant to get to Oxford (for the record, bloody miles away) for 09:30 on a few Saturdays which is never gonna happen. Luckily an e-mail from my Tutor confirms these aren’t mandatory – phew! I’m hoping to OD on the on-line aids provided so I don’t miss out too much from not attending the day schools.

Went to listen to my iPod (5.5G 80Gb) on Saturday and it refused to play. It whirrs up but just sits at 00:00. Video seems to crash it completely. Reset it about 8 or 9 times with no joy. Did a full restore, still dead. Found quite a few others have had this happen since the latest firmware update (v1.3). Downgraded the firmware to v1.2.3, still no joy. Going to try putting RockBox on it and see if that works. It’s out of warranty and getting it fixed would cost as much as getting a new one. I don’t mind getting a new one so much, but I hate the thought of getting rid of this when everything except music/video works on it! Even if it’s just an expensive Mah Jongg player, it’s something!

Dying my hair (pink blue & purple today).

Your Hair Should Be Blue

Wild, brilliant, and out of control. You’re a risk taker with an eye to the future.

What’s Your Funky Inner Hair Colour?

I dyed my hair all blue :oD

It still has Atomic Pink at the bottom which is why that’s a bit purpley. It seems to be very intense blue under natural lighting and a bit more purpley under artificial lights.

I managed to do stuff so my day off didn’t feel entirely wasted :oD

I only did a little hoovering in the end. Just couldn’t be arsed for the most part. Didn’t dye my hair at all, so it looks like I’ll either have a mad rush to do it on Friday before I go out… or I’ll just spend another week with bad roots & no bloooo :o/

So, what I did manage to get done was:

I had a HOT lavender bath to stop me being so stressed.

Feeling much better now, but must go to bed. So very, very tired.

I have to get everything ready for the Scissor Sisters gig tomorrow \o/

Gonna be a mission, I have to get home from work, pick up all my stuff, have a bath, pack stuff up, get to Rivermead all by 19:30:os

I managed to get dye stuck in my glove & dyed my finger purple. It looks like I’ve had a nasty accident :o(

Got bored with CupCake Pink. Now Atomic Pink!

It’s still UV:

OK, the pictures are awful quality, I know that, I just can’t be arsed though and by the time I can, it will have changed.

Well, I was blonde for a week:

(I’m miserable, I know)

Then I went pink!!

but, I couldn’t ditch that gorgeous blue, it contrasts sooo well:

This is about as good a UV picture as I can be bothered to get. I may get another one down the pub later, this dye is very UV:

Well, that’s enough for me. I’m tired and off to bed. I have to be Big-Bad-Boss-Lady tomorrow *evil-grin*

It’s been a strange old week.

The Sasser Worm hit work very hard. I managed to work a fairly standard day on Tuesday, but Wednesday was 07:50-21:35 with no break and Thursday was 07:50-19:30 with a short break in the morning, but I only got that because I got a call from my Mum, who was in floods of tears. Our cat, Puss, had to be put to sleep. :o( She had kidney & liver problems that hadn’t shown up on her blood tests. She wasn’t well at all. She made it to the grand old age of 18 though. Seems so weird to think we got her when I was 9 years old. Purdey is gone… Puss is gone… I feel so cold, alone, catless for the first time in my life :o(

I’m also blonde. Which is weird for me… it’s not lasting long though, planning on CupCake Pink tomorrow, maybe with some blue and purple thrown in somewhere. I love that blue too much not to keep on using it.

Anyhoo, back to the Sasser Worm, looks like my long hours and hard work have got me noticed at last. The Technical Director of Scorpio Net gave me one of their work-shirts and told me I was now an honorary member of the Scorpio Team. Awwww…. bless :o) Shame I don’t get their pay too…

Well, it looks like the Wedding Invitation never turned up. I imagine that Bex & Crofty are married now… Oh well. It’s James & Cheney’s turn tomorrow. I’ll be glad when it’s over and I get my boyfriend back to be honest. He’s been stuck to James like glue for the past couple of months!

NOTE:

I am currently blonde, so anything stupid I say or do…. the bleach takes the blame for.
