They say a picture is worth a thousand words.


Post a picture in my comments of what you think describes me when you think about what/who I am.
Give no written explanation though. Just an image.
Macros are ok :)

Copy and paste into your own journal and see what others think about you in pictures!

1, 2, 3, go!

Dear All

It would seem that an evil chinese company decided to make use of my hotmail account yesterday. If you got a message from me which was a little odd and very NOT me, it's because it was them;

( What you might have had via email )

Needless to say, I'm not impressed. I've changed my password, am changing my security questions etc and will soon be opening a different account. In the meantime, message me on lj or through lj's email forwarding. I will be ensuring it's always kept up to date. The address is my user name at livejournal dot com.

For the techies, it was sent through the autoresponse / vacation response system. The message is sitting in my 'sent' emails!! Quite how they got in, I don't know but I was probably careless with a password somewhere. It seems that they've not done much else but at least I can give everyone else a heads up. If you can think of anything else I can do, let me know.

Sorry everyone!!

I have, of late, rediscovered the joy and randomness of last.fm.

Having gone through and selected lots of songs and bands I approve of, it can now play me recommendations based on the music I like. And it just tuned me into this, which I found amusing, hence I'm posting it here;

ThouShaltNot - If I Only Were A Goth
(sing to the tune of 'If I Only Had A Heart')

I'd be thinner, I'd be taller
Go clubbing in my collar
With skin pale as a moth
Dressed in black, I'd go creepin'
While the normal folk are sleepin'
If I only were a Goth

With my hair up, I'd look fancy
Like Siouxsie and the Banshees
With silk or velvet cloth
Dressed in boots, never sandals
And the room would be lit with candles
If I only were a Goth

( Yes I'd wanna die... )

Class! What's even more amusing is that last.fm chose to play me Chopin's Funeral March just before it.... someone somewhere has a brill sense of humour.

So it occured to me that it's been forever since I checked lj to see how you all are. The problem is, when you do finally check in after a while it takes far too long to play catch up so a cheat is required.

If anything of note has happened to you and yours over the past... erm... 3 months (!) please comment / leave a link to where it's at so we can all go and take a peak.

Other than that, much love to you all - being offline during the week is hellish, having 2 weeks off work is wonderful, spending some of that with family and friends has (so far) been wonderful and you all ROCK.

Thanks to everyone who's been in touch either yesterday or today to wish me a happy 28th... I've been inundated! Normally that would be wonderful but it's super specially good as I'm away from home until tomorrow and am really missing my chappy.

I've texted the fab four to announce this evening's plans in Leicester (Debi, Fuzzy, John and Jen) so hope to tell you all tales of drunken debauchery, mid hangover, tomorrow.

Whilst I'm on the subject, Happy Birthday to all fellow Gemini's. There are LOADS of us here in el-jay land (and quite a few more over on Facebook).

( Why I need you all to comment / text me with your name and number )

Please can you assume I've not got your number (unless you're devalmont). Text your name to me, or comment (I'll leave them screened). MY number hasn't changed, just the phone!

Mine is here if you've not currently got it - viewable to my lj friends only :P.

Thanks.

Dresden Dolls - Sing

There is this thing that's like touching except you don't touch
Back in the day it just went without saying at all
All the world's history gradually dying of shock
There is thing that's like talking except you don't talk
You sing
You sing

Sing for the bartender sing for the janitor sing
Sing for the cameras sing for the animals sing
Sing for the children shooting the children sing
Sing for the teachers who told you that you couldn't sing
Just sing

There is thing keeping everyone's lungs and lips locked
It is called fear and it's seeing a great renaissance( ... )

Just seemed very appropriate tonight.
