…but sometimes I do 🙂 1] Who was your FIRST prom date?Harry Johnston. The Number 1 Geek of our class (I was Number Two). I didn’t really want to go with him (we were friends, but that was definitely it as far as I was concerned), but it obviously took him so much effort to…
(FutureCat slinks back into the room after a long silence. Life’s just like that sometimes.) Yesterday a very rare occurrence happened – I actually caught a book in the wild. I of course pick up books at meetups and conventions all the time, and through various forms of controlled release, but if I can’t count…
8/8/08 today, so of course I had to release 8 books at 8 am (well, around 8 am – actually I released them between about 7.45 and 8.30 on my way to work, but releasing all 8 on the dot of 8 would have been a bit impractical): David Copperfield by Charles Dickens Surfacing by…

It’s been threatening rain all morning, and started to drizzle about 20 minutes ago, but it’s suddenly turned into snow – and quite heavy for Christchurch, too. I don’t know if it’ll…
On Friday night, lytteltonwitch, rarsberry and I went over to Lyttelton for the Festival of Lights (which I kept calling the Firelight Festival – I’ve obviously been watching too much Gilmore Girls). After getting there too early last year, so that they hadn’t even set up the stalls, we decided to go over a bit…
Thank you everyone for your comments and hugs. I’m actually feeling a lot better about it all, now that it’s all over. When the vet gave Ming the injection, and I heard him take his last gasping breath and then was still, I felt such a feeling of relief – the stillness was such a…
