Quiz





You Are the Individualist



4




You are sensitive and intuitive, with others and yourself.

You are creative and dreamy... plus dramatic and unpredictable.

You're emotionally honest, real, and easily hurt.

Totally expressive, others always know exactly how you feel.

Quick Update

I've got so many projects on the go at the moment I'm not doing a very good job keeping up with much.

One quick thing though: Hermit crabs are Evil!!!

It happened a couple of days ago. Mancub (son) comes downstairs crying that Tret's (crab) legs are falling off (we read earlier on the net that this happens to them in times of stress) and that the other one - let's just call him Evil - was trying to get into Tret's shell (apparently they also fight over shells). So up I go to have a look and there Evil was, pulling Tret and eggs out of the shell. I don't know whether he was already dead or Evil killed it but either way I've had one miserable 10 year old on my hands because Tret (named after his sister and her boyfriend) was his favourite.

Sometimes mother nature sucks.

Random Ramblings

Methinks this post is going to jump from one topic to another with absolutely no connection whatsoever.

I must admit I'm having a bit of trouble navigating this site. I don't normally have this problem ... maybe it's just where my head is at the moment (no it's not up my ass tyvm) although there are a few people who immediately come to mind when I think of heads up asses.

Like the person who suggested to me that a proper discussion cannot take place unless emotion is excluded. Sorry asshole but I wasn't programmed from birth to be an emotionless robot the way you and your cronies were and showing feelings does not replace rationality, in normal people they can co-exist quite happily.

Ok rant over for now.

The hermit crab still hasn't moved into its new home and now we think it may be laying eggs ... I guess we'll find out soon enough lol.

Think I'll go and have some retail therapy now. Hmm what's on the list I hear you not ask? I'll tell you anyway!

Tomato plants (there's that gardening theme again lol), a leadlighting kit, some sample paint pots, maybe some light fittings ... and a shitload of chocolate 'cos I sure as hell need something at the moment.

Nuffin muffin

Another cold, horrible day out there so here I am again.

Nothing much to report although I'm not happy with the evil birds around here at the moment. They've stolen my lily of the valley that I planted a few weeks ago ... and I don't just mean leaves or petals or heads ... I mean the whole damn thing, roots and all!!! There's absolutely no trace of it being there :/

Hmmm there's a bit of a gardening theme developing here but I'm not really a green thumb. It's just that I recently moved into this house and I'm going through a phase at the moment of being obssessed with getting everything the way I want it.

I've been through this gardening phase before but don't worry ... once I kill everything it'll pass and I'll move on to something else lol.

Had a bit of an emergency this morning with one of my son's hermit crabs. Ugly thingie has grown so much it was hanging out of its shell and couldn't fit back in.

Of course he was devastated thinking it was dying soooooooooo off we went to the pet shop before school and sat there till it opened.

10 buckaroonies for two freaking shells? Guess what I'll be collecting next time we hit the beach lol. I haven't checked to see whether it's crawled into one of the new ones yet. Guess I better do that now.

Ciao for now
