Just some things I fell over in my random questing around the internet I thought might amuse and or confuse.

This apparantly is a kitten-huff - as many people have been telling me RE:reborn babies - whatever floats your boat, if it makes you happy then I’m sure you’re a very normal, stable person.

Dolphins showing more intelligence than some humans can even start to dream of (if they were cognitively able to create abstract thoughts such as dreams!)

Everybody loves the story of the three little pigs - what could be cuter than pigs in building hats?! Well obviously not. I was pointed to this article by Simon, saying how the Three Little Pigs

“could not [be] recommended - to the Muslim community”.
- also - the story might ‘alienate parts of the workforce (building trade)’.
It went on to say
“Is it true that all builders are cowboys, builders get their work blown down, and builders are like pigs?”

Well actually when you look at some builders bums you do begin to wonder…
But seriously, next thing they’ll be saying is Cinderella is not suitable because of people who don’t have any shoes to loose, and what about snow white - adulterous bitch - 7 men?! What kind of a message is that giving?
This story actually made my blood boil. Honestly, what kind of madness is this that my children and my children’s children may not grow up with the legendary phrase “not by the hairs of our chinny chin chins, we will not let you in”
I’m all for cultural diversity, but can we please be sensible and think how many builders and Muslims have actually complained about this harmless children’s story - I think its an insult to these groups to believe they would be so petty.

In other news which isn’t
The coffee which makes you fat
and in reply I say
No shit sherlock, coffee, with cream, full fat milk, lard, chocolate syrup, chocolate sprinkles and marshmallows with a muffin has a lot of calories in?

Had my General studies exam today, and cleverly managed to get ‘teacup’ into my answer in which we had to respond to the arrest of tree huggers who had been camped out in a tree which was to be knocked down for the development of houses (I kid you not, that was the situation we were given, and we had to identify the problem, whose fault it was and what to do about it…) I said that it was
“Irresponsible and hypocritical to leave litter such as crisp packets, cans and teacups, laying around as these could all be environmental hazards.”
I also gave my examiner a little :) and a “Have a Nice Day” at the end of the paper.

Lotsa Love

:) Have a Nice Day too

You know its going to be ‘one of those days’ when you try and use the soap pump on your tooth brush.
You also know you really do need to go back to bed when you try to make coffee, but the milk mysteriously wont pour, and on closer inspection you notice you never took the cap off.

My eye…is twitching. It has been twitching since Monday I think now. its driving me mad! (maybe that’s why its twitching,like a horrible cycle of spasms)
*twitch twitch*

My photoshop serial code came today *eeep*
As you can see, I have a new theme *double eep* So now I can play around with the header and make it a little bit more to my taste.
Although this new theme doesn’t allow comments on pages, which is a shame because on my ‘life a little bit snapped’ page, I used to have a few stories from other people. :( I’ll try and work out a way to get that back I think….

I was watching TV today (a lot of my posts seem to start with that…maybe I just watch inspiring television…maybe I’m easily inspired…) when I saw an advert for a tooth brush which has led me to the sad conclusion that mankind is indeed doomed. Not through global warming or war: but our stupidity.
It was one of those toothbrushes that have a little display telling you how long to clean each tooth and what side of your mouth to brush, when to spit and how to make your failed soufflé rise. I wonder who exactly these toothbrushes are aimed at - who can afford these ridiculous machines but seriously cant brush their teeth? If we cant even get that right, how are we meant to carry on surviving in the ever evolving world.

All my nails have been broken, my hair is a mess and I’m freezing cold; this usually would be cause for miserable winging and sulking (especially my broken nails!) but I could not be happier! Yessums, my first riding lesson in 3 months – beautiful. I was on a strange little pony called Daisy-Mae (who thinks of these names?!) She was strange because she had a really long back and therefore the most bizarre trot in the world. It’s very hard to describe it – especially to non riders, but it’s like you’re moving and you know you’re moving but it doesn’t feel like you are. Yeh, told you it was weird. I think I prefer Sexy Saxon. We didn’t do any jumping, just flat work; working on walk to canter transitions and reigning backwards. We also did a fair amount of theory too which was defiantly good.
Oh, and on my previous post, I now really dislike Wikipedia and their policy, because apparently the might Wikipedia don’t use spoiler warnings (bullock anyway, I’ve seen plenty) because you just have to assume they will have it. Great now I’m never reading anything about any TV programme I enjoy just in case. When I tried to put a spoiler warning I got some git message me explaining how ‘it just isn’t wiki policy’. That policy (or lack of) can bite my ass!

(I finished my history essay)

Man I hate the internet - some information is just too readily availiable! Don’t get me wrong I dont want it censored. I want warnings though
For example, say there was a die hard fan of CSI - slightly obsessed some might say. And say, in England series 8 isnt out till TUESDAY. (9:00pm, channel 5) but has been out in America since like, September or something…Yes, and say that die hard fan was innocently looking to see whether one of the characters had had a child cos she totally looked pregnant in one of the episodes (turns out she just ate too many hamburgers that day). Anyway, say she went onto wikipedia, looked this character up, only to find THE END OF THE CLIFFHANGER BETWEEN THE TWO SERIES JUST SPLATTED IN THE FIRST SECTION WITH NO FRIGGEN SPOILER WARNINGS Bearing in mind this fan has had to wait since…MAY…
Bastards
Just cos its shown in one place doesn’t mean its has been shown everywhere else.

Lotsa…anger and venom

(By the way, I do not fail to see the irony that I needed the internet to tell you how much it pisses me off. So don’t tell me.)

There I was struggling away with a history essay when I realised; oooh, I could make a blog post. So, would you look at that I am! Procrastination Queen, that’s me; when the going gets tough, do something else for a while until you absolutly have to go back and face it again. The title is “which of these sources is most useful as evidence for the way in which bladi bladi bla” and all I can think of is that sesame street song “which of these things is not like the other, one of these things just isn’t the same…” and then….”oooh evidence; I have a CSI recorded and waiting for me!”
It amazing how quickly you forget to do things, like write a clear, succinct essay with valid points and a flowing argument. You can spend your whole schooling life trying to hone the technique to perfection, and yet two weeks after not doing it and its like beating your head on a wall. Such is life’s continuous uphill struggle. *sigh*
Its also amazing how much you can get done when you’re avoiding something. Things you never knew needed to be done, but now that they are your life feels a little more complete; I’ve uploaded photos to facebook and carefully tagged everyone in it, giving each on a witty caption. I’ve organised iTunes again. I’ve drunk 3 pints of tea (I know its 3 pints - the massive ’starbucks’ mug I own contains one pint and I’ve drunk 3; I did the math!)
On other totally unrelated things, I’m looking for a new theme. I’ve got one or two lined up mentally, but my favourate currently isn’t really working (isn’t it always the way!) and Its gonna need customisation anyway because the header is a bit dull. So, watch this space!
Ok, I don’t think I can put it off any more…
Back the essay

P.s Riding tomorrow :D I’ll maybe even get some photos!

I just finished watching a channel 4 documentary (so you know its gotta be quality :p) entitled “My Fake Baby”. Its about People who collect plastic baby dolls which have been (very very skilfully) made to look as lifelike - you would swear some of them were real. Some even come with ‘heart beats’, they ‘breath’ suck etc (just like baby Annabell for those who know what I mean). Each one is a true work of art - really really incredible.
But…its so weird (if I’m honest a bit creepy). Some people spend so much money on what are, effectively, toys.
I mean I can start to understand the reasons, and it is harmless enough - for one woman she said she didn’t want children but liked having a clean perfect baby (Still, a little bizarre, but harmless). Another woman had a mock-up of her grandson made when he was a baby because he and his mother had moved to New Zealand and so she couldn’t see him much.
Its also sad…I imagine some of women have them who cant have real babies…and that really really is absolutly tragic.
Some of the models are just freakin’ weird - they look dead
For example
Yet, it is harmless, and I guess if I applied that to “you can have a real looking pony that neighs but doesn’t shit or die” hell, I get it completely!!

*EDIT*
I do not think these women are mad, I just think its creepy - and am I not entitled to my own opinion?

*EDIT EDIT*
Haha! I had no idea this would cause such a stir (okay, so not really a stir more a niggle in the grand scheme of things, but for this blog it really is an almighty whisk!) I have no idea how many of my commenter’s have found my blog but I naturally appreciate the interest.
I just found a ‘reborn baby nursery’ with what I think is a rather…inept name
Still Moments Nursery

*EDIT EDIT EDIT*
No, I don't know here you can buy them etc, dont ask, you could try here.

Another year has started - my 18th year. The year I have to grow up; the year I go to university; the year I start my future properly it feels.
Okay, so maybe I wont grow up so much - maturity doesn’t just appear one day, but who wants to grow up anyway?
So New Years eve was a party at my dear friends and it certainly was eventful. But This party wasn’t as good as others simply because I felt a lot of people didn’t have the same respect for her house as they have before, which was a shame, and I’ve decided that I’m defiantly not having another big party - I’ll host my 18th and then I think that’s it. Its too stressful for one.
I passed the minutes adjoining the two years in a hugging frenzy, squeezing all my friends and being squeezed in return - its good to start the year with a bit of love between friends seeing as before there had been some hostility.

So now is the time everyone looks back and decides what they would have done differently then and how they’re going to do differently now. They make themselves promises that by April have been forgotten and life carries on - or that’s my attitude to new years resolutions. I think I’ll keep mine as
“Make it like before, but better.”
Pretty much covers all eventualities, and I was gonna tag “and blog about it everyday” but I’ve already broken that one.
Retrospectively, 2007 wasn’t bad - it could have been worse anyway. Onwards and upwards right?

It seems fitting, because the hospital gave me a clean bill of health on December 31st, so I am now officially healed. So I’m all fixed and ready to ride (which I will do so next Sunday at 11:30) in the new year
I managed to get pictures of my x-rays for your viewing pleasure (or disgust)
This first one is on the day of the break. (October 5th)

See the way the bone on top tapers to a point? You can feel that - thats my nobble. Attractive stuff!

So here is my last Xray taken Dec 31st














As you can see I have some new lovely bone grown between the two halves - I’m whole again! Although now my brother calls me Z-Bone
Its a bit creepy to look at these and remember that these bones are inside me. Bizarre!
So like I said, gotta get back on that horse. I’m so excited because as most of you know, horse riding is my passion - so Just imagine being physically unable to do the thing you love most for 3 months! That’s how much I’m looking forward to it.

Happy New Year
May it be better than the last one but not as good as the next

Lotsa Love
