In the General Chinwagging thread Minxy said the little baby is due May 18 or sometime in the middle of May. So the baby will either be a Taurus or a Gemini depending on when she is born in May. Just saying.

For the last few years, I have been teaching myself how to use tarot cards and that has led me to learn a little astrology too.

I adore your signature, that is what I'm trying to quote. I love the German cast of Wicked, although I'm a little ify on the Glinda, (she's a bit too pinched for me) and the Fiyero scares me to death. But! The Elphaba, my goodness, is the best Elphaba by far I have ever heard!

(Just thought I'd share that.)

Rant: I went to the doctor for a check-up. Doesn't sound too bad. Right? Wrong. As I have said before I am deathly afraid of needles and blood. So I ended up getting 2 shots, which wasn't all that bad, and a hemoglobin test. When they pricked my finger for the hemoglobin test, I wouldn't bleed. So they ended up pricking my fingers 3 times. Not fun.

Rant: I cannot for the life of me do this one piece of work. I have to reduce energy consumption and get my stupid u values below certain levels, and the only way I can do it is to reduce my glazing. Basically, to meet requirements, I can have 5.9m^2 of windows. That's one or two windows. In a four bedroom house.

It's just so stupid and such a waste of my time. It can't be done. Unless my walls are 2m thick with insulation.

I've actually heard of that! But you're right, that was a very long time ago. 1600's. I'm pretty happy that's still around though, because my house has many windows, and I don't want our taxes to be stacked up because of that.

rave: Minxy, BEAUTIFUL name. for your baby girl. i am very excited for you!

rant: yero, that sucks. i give you an A+ in window displays and awesomness.

rant: i have been sick since wednesday because on tuesday night i waited 45 minutes for my bus home. in the cold. very cold. i woke up wednesday morning sick. as. a. dog. i was hoping to rest up all weekend, but it ended up being a very busy weekend and it went far to quickly.

rave: got 2 new pairs of shoes. one is a pair of black, paten (sp?) leather pumps. very sexy. and i can walk in them, which is great.

rant: cannot wear said shoes until tuesday because i wasnt able to get a pedicure done today. now the reason i need a pedicure is not for my tootsies to look nice, but becaue (sorry if this is gross) i am prone to getting ingrown toenails once in a while and i have to get pedicures to fix them. so i cant wear sexy shoes until i fix my toe.

rave: i will be fixing my toe tomorrow on my lunch break. there is a nail place in the mall where i work. i should have enough time on my lunch break to get it done. cannot wait, toe is very sore.

Plus the thing with my Grandmother which I signed by the way. It's just been a bad week.

I think that's why I slept till 5 PM. The stress is burning me out. Eeep. I feel better today though.

I've never heard of window tax, but I bet it was around the time people used to take windows with them when they moved house! Glass cost so much that only rich people could afford it and they wouldn't let anyone else have it... there's a bizarre fact for you!

Rave: I feel lovely today. My hair is lovely and my skin is lovely and I just feel very very nice.

Rant: work. Lots of it. I kind of thought of a way round the window problemo but it's a bit difficult... might just do something different today!

I have to go to bed, I have an exam which I can't afford to fail. I've been trying to ring her for 3 hours, sent her messages, rung the hospital and lied through my teeth to get them to give me information (she's not there). There's nothing I can do apart from go to her flat, and 1. I'm not walking down my dodgy street alone in the middle of the night, 2. I don't know her flat number so I'd have to buzz all of them and 3. Who answers their door at 3am anyway?

I just so worried, but I can't realistically do any more than I have. I'm annoyed at myself for not being there to answer the phone in the first place, but I can't change that now. So, I'll just try again in the morning. I have to try and get some sleep.

Night everyone

***************************

So she's at home and OK. I had a text from her a couple of hours ago. Still have no idea what happened, but at leasts she's OK now.

Rant: it's really annoying me that the Rent countdown is different on the site than on the adverts on BWW. I know it's stupid and it shouldn't bother me (why do I even know that they're different?!) but it does. What point, exactly, are they counting down to?

Edited to add a huge rant.

Months ago a childhood friend of mine was killed when he was hit by a man's car while he was out of state being the mascot for our local college. We all believed it was an honest, tragic accident. I just heard differently. Apparently the man who came forward as the one who hit him lied. He wasn't driving. His son, who had a *suspended license* was the one who hit and killed him. The son now faces up to 5 years in prison while the father up to 18 months. Not enough time, but I sincerely wish both leave that place with a significantly enlarged ... well, I'm sure you know where I'm going.

And JenM9, I would do that, only my last laptop came with Windows XP installed on it, no disc needed. So I would do that if I could. I think I'm getting used to it, and I'm having fun playing with all the gadgets and whatnot. It's just the incompatibility that's frustrating.

I found out in my chemistry class. We were flipping through channels and CNN was on, and Heath Leger was all over the screen. The juniors sitting around me all broke out their cell phones, and were rapidly telling anyone they could think of. It really disappointed me, the way they broke it to everyone. "Picture Heath Leger. Yeah, the guy from The Patriot. Okay? Yeah, he's dead. I know! Okay, bye I need to call [insert name here]".

Last week I probably slept an average of two hours a night. I couldn't stop thinking. My body was exhausted, and my mind was still going.

The article goes onto say:

quote:

---

Ledger told The New York Times in a November interview that he "stresses out a little too much" during the Dylan film and had trouble sleeping while portraying the Joker, whom he called a "psychopathic, mass-murdering, schizophrenic clown with zero empathy"... He said he took two Ambien pills, which worked for only an hour, the paper said.

---

I'm speculating that he tried taking a few extra pills before he was supposed to, to try to get some more sleep and it backfired on him. Like I said, maybe I'm being naive, but then again, I don't know him.
