Nonsensical Ramblings

So I'm bored and haven't updated for a while.

Hi. :)


I've just been watching this, actually, which looks quite amazing: switching off traffic lights and seeing the difference when people have to sit up and take note of what's going on. It made me smile and even hope a little. :) It reminds me of the story I heard in passing of a roundabout where they removed the majority of the signs, to see if people were simply not reading them because there were too many to take note of while driving, and it became so much better as people took control of their own safety and slowed down, became more aware. Who knows if anything will follow it up, but it sounds like it has potential, depending on circumstances etc., I guess.

Anyway, off to watch the rest of QI XL. :) And sleep at some point, lol.

In memory of family and friends who have lost the battle with cancer; and in support of the ones who continue to conquer it! Post this on your LJ if you know someone who has or had cancer.


I keep hoping to post more often, but then I don't know what to say. I'm attempting to fill a meme in at the minute, though, so I'll see if that helps.

Merry Christmas &
Happy Holidays, Everyone! :)

Hope you're all well, and having a great time. *Hugs* Take care.

Happy Birthday, Nikki! :)

I hope you have a wonderful day. *Hugs*

Flying visit, again, sadly, but Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays if you don't celebrate Christmas. I hope you're all well and having a fantastic time, wherever you may be. Take care and keep warm (or cool, lol). :):)

Anyway, gotta go and sleep, but I will hopefully be emailing everyone to say thank you for the awesome cards and presents tomorrow. :) *Hugs*

So things kept getting crappier and I kept getting grumpier all of last week. Which means I've not been doing very well at cutting back on chocolate. And things aren't looking all that promising for this week, especially since the weekend wasn't that great either. I have a dentist appoiment Friday morning as well. Damn.


Anyway, maybe this'll cheer me up. A meme, ganked from elethoniel:

Reply to this post, and I will list three things I love about you. Maybe more than three. Then repost to your own journal and spread the love, if you want, but you totally don't have to.

What's your favourite cookie/biscuit/brownie/truffle/slice/whatever?

Mine's double choc-chip and orange cookies. :)

Happy Birthday, nakeisha!! *Hugs*

Hope you're having a great day, especially after all that happened last week. :)

P.S. I tried sending you an email on Friday, but Postmaster sent it back saying it was delayed -- has it reached you at all? I have a feeling it's failed completely and Postmaster has just decided not to tell me. :P

I made cookies some time during the week, using the Starsky and Hutch Cookbook that Kimberly and Moon put together so long ago. I couldn't decide between oatmeal or chocolate, so I took the oatmeal cookie recipe and swapped the walnuts for chocolate chips. I still need to cut down on eating so much chocolate and crap, though. Much as the idea makes me automatically crave chocolate.

Anyway, I'm hoping to update a bit more regularly from now on, too. Not that I think I'll have anything interesting to say, but you never know. :)

Definitely feeling at a bit of a loose end now that I'm suddenly no longer busy, but I'm also feeling kind of restless and already thinking about all the work I have to do before the end of the holidays, lol. And all the telly programmes I'm looking forward to watching. (Episodes from Season 3 of Due South! I still can't believe my luck at finding that out. :P) Anyway, I'm hoping that I'll be able to kick myself into gear and reply to comments and emails over the next two weeks as well, which I was horrified to find go all the way back to the end of October. I'm so disorganised. I stumbled across a great website, though, so I'm already bookmarking possible ideas for gifts for people next year. One year I will actually get everything sorted out on time. The apocolypse will probably be right on its heels, but still.

I really need more sleep (and fewer strange dreams) so I'm going to go and crash now, but I just wanted to wish you all a very Merry Christmas, or a Happy Holiday (if you celebrate something else or nothing at all). :):)
