Hiya
Sorry about the lack of entries.. it goes like this:
My dad was trying to sort out something on his computer. I mean, he's always trying to sort something out, but this time, he messed around with the network connection. Now this was rather foolish, as the network was already rather temperamental without anyone touching it! The inevitable happened, and now the network is a "not-work". hehe, man i'm funny..
So yeah, ANYWAY, it just means that i haven't been able to get online because my internet connection was connected through the afore mentioned network and therefore didn't work either. I have resorted to taking my laptop downstairs and plugging it directly into the router to which the 1MB connection is fed. This means that i'm sat next to George. Everybody wave to George.
It's SO sunny. I mean, record temperatures, fires in Portugal, sunburnt penguins, the works! Well, ok, i made the penguin bit up.. but i'm sure that it'll happen soon!
I need to get a passport-sized photo done, so i can get a railcard. Oh god, how bloody awful. Laura phoned me just now, and she agrees that it's a huge conspiracy. She thinks it's the government, trying to make us more susceptible to manipulation by reducing our self-esteem. Whilst this is a good argument, i think that it's a careful marketing ploy by shops like Bootstm and Superdrugtm. Since passport photos always look like you've just had a rotting fish passed under your nose, people generally think "oh shit, do i really look like that!?". If someone thinks they look bad, what will they do? They'll try to look better! And what do Bootstm and Superdrugtm sell? Things to supposedly make you look better! It's all a very cunning plan backed by subliminal messages sent to the person as their picture is being taken. You know, hidden in the flash or the little "click" they are secretly telling you that there's a 3 for 2 offer on anti-frizz shampoo and conditioner, or eye cream supposed to reduce dark lines. But, having said all this, it's just too dodgy a scheme for the Government not to be involved in it! Maybe they're getting £1 every time someone goes there. So if you hate the first set of prints, go back to get another set with your eye cream in place and your anti-frizz shampoo working it's magic, and discover that you look even worse but suddenly you have a strong desire to buy facial hair removal cream and toe separators, then not only has a top Beauty retailer gained a large sum of money from your ever emptying purse, but the government has also gain a couple of extra ££ to spend on covering foreign countries with bomb detectors.
Anyway. Enough ranting about that. I should get ready; i have to meet Val at 4:30pm.. and no, you can't see the pictures, so don't even bother asking!!
