girlofpreyI learned a new word today - "snurkling". Which is apparently a 'gypsy word' to describe what men my dad doesn't like do around other men's women. Every day I marvel a being granted such of font of esoteric knowledge as he. I love you, dad.
I'm making a Fandom Diary. It now contains pretty much every film, book and DVD release I'm excited about over the next year, as well as Livejournal/con stuff. And family birthdays because, y'know, as many reminders as possible are for the best. It is silver and vaguely professional looking. I'm quite proud of it :)
Also it has maps of the British rail network and London Underground on the back. I did not realise Preston deserved a bigger circle than Lancaster. And there are nice little quotes in the corner of every page. I'm not quite sure why it wants me to put all the details I have on the front page though. Everything except 'I am generally alone during the week at...'. And a nice little note saying 'Please stalk me!'. I'm not sure how much my National Insurance number matters to my fandom schedule anyway.
The kitten/dog swap is happening today. It's going to be a bit odd without the dog around, after 7 years. I still remember the night we got him - mum, dad and Katie went, while I stayed home and discovered Spike in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Another William. But there will be kittens, so it's a pretty fair trade I think. For names I have decided on Kell and Jasmine, or possibly just Jas. After finally deciding against 'Sloop'. Probably there will be pictures later. Probably of them being terrified and not knowing where they are.
There is a woman who has apparently gotten back to my dad saying she might be interested in one, and since we were only taking two to hurry things along mum and dad seem to think we should let her have it. She can't until August 25th though, so we are taking both to 'see how things go', and I am pretending there is no woman at all. And planning to - cry, if they still want to give it away by the 25th. Surely that will work.

Kell and Jasmine are names of greatness. Kittens are well better than dogs, dude. THIS IS POSSIBLY NOT A SURPRISING THING FOR ME TO SAY TO YOU, PLEASE DO NOT BE JUDGEY.

Date: 2006-07-30 03:56 pm (UTC)Your diary sounds like THE BEST THING EVER and I love it already.
I hope you get both cats. Maybe you could murder the 'woman'. I put her in commas in the air, because possibly your dad made her up because he doesn't want two cats, this is my current suspicion. Sorry to be suspicious of your DAD but I cannot help it, you shoudl have TWO KITTENS GOOD.

I would be suspicious of dad, except that he'd have nowhere to put the kitten if he got rid of it. He is slightly odd, but not the kitten-abandoning kind, I think. I WOULD NEVER MURDER THE WOMAN! Tell me a plan how
