Last night I had the best pizza I've ever had in my life. It was from the balti house near me that does the best pepperoni pizza I've ever had, and it was called Sweet and Sour. It was barbeque sauce, chicken, onions, green peppers, pineapple, and jalapeno peppers. I had to remove the jalapeno peppers because that was too much, but other than that it was amazing. And I felt like telling you guys about it.

At the moment I am annoyed, because there are a few things coming up that I'd really like to go to, and one of them is the Riverside Festival in Nottingham. I used to go to it back when I lived in Nottingham, and then after I moved back in with my parents I still used to go back for the weekend and go there, but I've fallen off a bit in recent years. But I remembered that I loved to go it, and this year's looks really good, even though if the weather is like it is now it might kill me. But then I realised it was on from the 3rd-5th of August, and the Pretenders are playing on 3rd August. Which I also really wanted to go to. The Pretenders, I didn't even know they still toured, and how often do they do that? And this date was in Leeds, so I could literally come out of work, get something to eat, and go to it. But to get to Nottingham for most of the Festival, I'd really need to get the train on the Friday night - and doing that after a concert isn't really. I don't think it would be something I would enjoy, and I don't even know if it would be possible, with train times. So that's a shame. And now I must choose and time is running out, I really need to either buy a ticket or book a hotel room soon if I want to go to either of those. The Pretenders are playing in other places. But that's - something else. So that's annoying. But Scarborough is having a Sea Festival next weekend. And I'm planning to just go to it.

I've been following the story of the Arenanet firings, and yesterday they talked about it on the Rooster Teeth/Achievement Hunter gaming news show, The Know. And I watched a guy who always seemed pretty nice - a bit obnoxious, but nice when it came to people - say that he thought gender was 'an unfair card to play' in that situation. And just about how what the initial guy said wasn't a gendered comment - like I don't know, "I'm going to rape you, bitch" - so you couldn't 100% say it was sexism, so it was unfair to bring it up. And just like wow. I felt like leaving a comment about it, but then it's like, do I want to possibly invite bullshit into my life? So in the end I didn't. But it's just such a weird shame. People are so disappointing sometimes.

I've gotten into Critical Role recently, because apparently I love D'n'D games. Each video is about three hours long, and there are three years' worth of them. Hurray?

Currently I'm on a Critical Role video that doesn't have Laura Bailey, WHAT IS THE POINT?

There are a lot of fucking assholes living near me with incredibly loud engines in their cars/dirt bikes, which makes it difficult to listen to anything with the windows open.

Just. Saying.

I forgot I hadn't put the hedgehog food out and changed the water in the bowl earlier tonight, and I cleaned the water bowl out recently and didn't want it to get crusty again, so I went out to quickly do it now. I couldn't really see anything except where the water bowl was, and when I reached for the food bowl I felt something large on it. I thought maybe it was a branch that had fallen off the tree. I tried again and still felt something, and it felt like maybe a pine cone, and I didn't like touching something when I didn't know what it was. So I left it a minute, and then just reached out with my foot and tried to scoot the bowl over to me so I could see it, and I felt something with my foot. Something sort of soft but solid. And then I finally, definitely thought maybe it was an animal, and I thought maybe it was a hedgehog, and I made a series of odd noises, and then called my dad out with a torch. And it was indeed a hedgehog. Hunkered down away from us against the wall.

So. Hopefully I haven't scared that hedgehog off from coming to our food bowl ever again. But it's nice to know something's using it at least, and the thing I intended to use it in the first place.
