Ok this is positively the Last Quiz I'm ever going to post

You Are A: Pony!

Who doesn't love a pony? You are one of these miniature horses, renown for your beauty and desired by many. Full of grace, you are a beautiful and very special animal, with a long, flowing mane that blows in the breeze.

You were almost a: Lamb or a Bunny
You are least like a: Frog or a ChipmunkThe Cute Animals Quiz

What I did on my first day of freedom from that awful job.

I'm doing too many of these damn tests

The Peach Random Gentle Love Master (RGLMf) Playful, kind, and well-loved, you are The Peach. For such a warm-hearted, generous person, you're surprisingly experienced in both love and sex. We credit your spontaneous side; you tend to live in the moment, and you don't get bogged down by inhibitions like most women your age. If you see something wonderful, you confidently embrace it. You are a fun flirt and an instant sweetheart, but our guess is you're becoming more selective about long-term love. It's getting tougher for you to become permanently attached; and a girl who's in a different place emotionally might misunderstand your early enthusiasm. You can wreck someone simply by enjoying her. Your ideal mate is adventurous and giving, like you. But not overly intense.

Work and the lack of it

I've not worked for an employer now for 15 months, so imagine my surprise when I was phoned by the temp agency I registered with 3 months ago offering me customer service work at £7 per hour.

"I'll give it a go" I said, secure in the knowledge I'm shit hot at that and not too bothered either way.

Ten minutes later I get another call - they don't want me after all. Fucking time wasters. My day is now officially ruined.

The 2-Variable Intuition Test

Very Well-Rounded You have: 62% SCIENTIFIC INTUITION and 62% EMOTIONAL INTUITION

The graph on the right represents your place in Intuition 2-Space. As you can see, you scored above average on emotional intuition and above average on scientific intuition. (Weirdly, your emotional and scientific intuitions are equally strong.) Your Emotional Intuition score is a measure of how well you understand people, especially their unspoken needs and sympathies. A high score score usually indicates social grace and persuasiveness. A low score usually means you're good at Quake. Your Scientific Intuition score tells you how in tune you are with the world around you; how well you understand your physical and intellectual environment. People with high scores here are apt to succeed in business and, of course, the sciences.

My test tracked 2 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 99% on Scientific You scored higher than 99% on Interpersonal

A useful warning.

what a fucking waste of time

life is, relationships are.

So who gives a damn anyway.

Going to France

Off to France tomorrow. Lots to see and do. Scared as hell of the travelling as usual, so feel sick and anxious.

And I'm going to miss everyone. Not seen the family for days and won't see them for another 10 at least.

Waterlily

Look what I found in the garden...



Seems I broke a few picture links when tidying up my flickr account. Well, what the hell, it's only art.

I went to see this with Bahareh last night - It was pretty good, but the bar was a killer, the temperature in the theatre was roasting, and it was mostly material I'd heard before =)

Walking back in the rain cooled us off tho'

Some people are at Glastonbury

but I'm not one of them. It's cold and wet enough here for me.

Gone but not forgotten

Since living Cix - the account was terminated on 1st July - I've been tormented by a desire to know what's been happening behind my back...

We're planning a move to France, big garden, country house, no money. It's such an administration effort though. If only I were rich enough to get someone else to organise the papers.

It would be nice to get a large enough place that all the family could have a niche of their own but financially I think we're not going to be able to do that.

It's confirmed

I'm leaving Cix.

Wonder what happens next?
