I have come to the conclusion that babies and cats must be able to communicate quite nicely; because the sound the neighbors cats outside my bedroom window are making, sounds an awful lot like a baby crying. :/

And it's 2 am and- Just as I wrote this, the cat made the scariest sound I've ever heard. 0_0 Up until recently I had no idea cats made so much noise, and there's always been heaps of cats where I live. I don't know what's up with this one.

Well yeah - 2 am. In the words of the great cieling cat's (lol cat) language I must say: I can haz quitez naow plz? Kthx.

I almost wish I hadn't heard about it yet, because the movie is not coming out until 2010. Such a long wait for an impatiant fool like me... :(

BUT STILL THIS IS GOING TO BE SO AWESOME. IT HAS TIM BURTON DIRECTING IT! STEPHEN FRY(CHESHIRE CAT) AND ALAN RICKMAN(CATERPILLAR) ARE IN IT, AND BEST OF ALL GUESS WHO ELSE IS GOING TO BE IN THE MOVIE? (AND I CAN'T BELIEVE I DIDN'T ASUME HE WOULD BE IN IT SEEING AS HE'S BEEN IN MOST OF THE MOVIES TIM BURTONS DIRECTED) JOHNNY DEPP! AS THE MAD HATTER!!! COULD IT BE MORE PERFECT?! THIS MADE MY MONTH AND LAST MONTH AND TOTALLY DISERVES TO HAVE CAPS LOCK PARAGRAPH ABUSE DEDICATED TO IT. A WHOLE PARAGRAPH OF BAD GRAMMER IN IT'S HONOUR. I'M NOT MAKING SENSE NOW AM I?

Well it's almost four am now and I'm way to hyped up to sleep :/ Excuse me while I role away in my little insanity ball ^_^

Yesterday my brother told me that gay men can't give blood. I sat frozen for about ten seconds and then, after confirming that he was in fact NOT joking was than like: WHAT THE FUCK?

So, today I went on the internet to check it out. At first I found a bunch of American sites,
but I wanted to know about the UK. Finally I found this site:

https://secure.blood.co.uk/c11_cant.asp

with a list of people who can't give blood. on the list is men who have had sex with other men. So it's not strictly all gay men.

Here is what they actually said word for word:

2 You're a man who's had sex with another man, even safe sex using a condom.

Although I don't suppose they have any real way of moderating it, you could just lie, but that's really not the point. Apparently they screen blood too. Which is supposed to be quite effective.

In fact look at this here taken from the site above:

Every single blood donation is tested for HIV (the virus that causes AIDS) and hepatitis B and C.

Now I realise that some viruses may get through the screening, but some gay men, bi men may have rare blood types and could save a persons life. Shouldn't that person at least be told that there is someone out there that could possibly save their life. Can't they be allowed to make the dission about their own life, instead of just dieing anyway because the only donor was turned away because they had sex with another man!?

Apparently they're trying to elimenate risk groups. Which includes men who have had sex with other men. But to be honest, I think everyone's at risk for numerous STD's etc nowadays; and there's apparently a shortage of blood. Well, yes. I wonder why that is?

hmm... Can't remember where I got this from. It's probably rather sad that I've seen movies and TV series based on half or more of these but not read the books. E.g: Tess of the D'Urbervilles(it was a great tv drama too), Watership down, Wind in the willows, the chronicles of Narnia, the three musketeers, Lord of the rings, The hitch hikers guide to the galaxy, Memoirs of a Geisha etc... I've only read 8 of them myself, just over the ammount where I'm apparently supposed to be forced to read lol. I have read some of Shakespeares works, but I'm never going to read all of them lol, and I've also read part of the bible, does that count? Or does it have to be all of it? Meh, whatever.

Oh and Enid Blytons famous five series should have been here. I read all of them when I was younger and they were great. :p

This is copied and pasted exactly as I found it (with my alterations to the list obviously.):

was just looking at adverts that were deemed universally inappropriate on msn and came across this one (see link):

http://entertainment.uk.msn.com/tv/galleries/gallery.aspx?cp-documentid=8397520&imageindex=7

Or if you don't want to view the link I'll post the caption -

"Heinz Deli Mayo - This advert depicted 'mum' as a Robert De Niro-type character. As the brand fell foul of Ofcom's guidelines relating to products that are high in fat, salt and sugar, it had an 'ex-kids' restriction meaning that it couldn't be shown in or around children's programming. But that didn't stop around 200 complaints from viewers who deemed the smacker between the two men offensive and inappropriate. After less than a week on air, Heinz withdrew the ad in June 2008."

The salt and sugar thing is understandable but 200 viewers saying that a kiss between men was the reason it was inappropriate. I'm sure it wasn't graphic and I'm willing to bet if it was between a man and a woman no one would have cared in the slightest. But I guess, I already knew that. There so many really stupid people out there. I'm glad it was only 200 I guess, it's not a a lot of people when you consider how many there are in the world but still if you are that insecure just don't watch television - that's my recomendation.

Ok and I just watched the video on Youtube - no it wasn't graphic it was a peck on the lips for fucks sake.

So I just discovered (by looking through the FFVII manual) that I share the same birthday as Aeris (or Aerith) Gainsborough! Yes I am hideously late with this and all, but I've never looked through the manual before.

I am so happy, I know it's sad, but finding out that I share a birthday with a character from one of the coolest games I've ever played has me jumping off the walls.

My dad and brother don't really share my enthusiasm though lol.

Oh and I find it hillariously ironic that Vincent Valentines birthday is October 13th. It's like halloween month (although it probably isn't in their world.) and it's on a number which is in some cultures (mine included) considered unlucky...

Ok I'm going to go now, and if this comment made no sense at all it's because I'm going through something of a fangirl moment. It doesn't all that often so I guess I should indulge myself. Or something.

I always end up procrastinating at the worse of times. It generally comes from putting work off until the last minute. I even made a to do list this time. I really suck at being a student. Really badly.

Relativly bad day today. One of the fish died, it seemed to fight against the fact that it could no longer swim upright but alas I guess...

I'm seventeen now, that kind of freaks me out. Normally I don't think about this, in fact I think this is the first time I've thought about my age so much. Time's ticking and I'm kind of left thinking at the moment:

What the fuck happened to my youth?

I know it's my fault that I really don't have a life right now in anything other than the literal I-am-a-living-organism sense. Still I feel like bitching because what else if this journal for but my thoughts?

Of course I still have life left to live, it's probably quite sad that I'm moaning about my lack of life at this age. The thing is though I can't see it changing. I realise that I only have myself to blame.

Of course I noticed before now, although before now it wasn't so bad. Since I've started college though my life has gotten more boring and unlife like. I'm ready to be born now. Can I start living yet?

I don't suppose studing courses I'm beginning to hate helps. Esp' IT. So school kind of killed me, and now I'm being reborn... As a Zombie? Oh the joy of that.

I'm probably repeating myself, I know there's a dozen or more spelling mistakes here and I'm not using full sentences. Right now but I actually don't fucking care.

It was the first day of spring a couple of days ago... And now it's snowing! lol :/

The weather around here has been really freaky lately.

I meant to make a post about this a while ago, but other thing's got in the way...

I really feel upset about what happened, I love Camden; it's a really great and culturally diverse place. I hope things get back to normal for the people who live and work there as soon as possible.

I went up there the other day, the whole loch area was blocked off and there was a sign post saying that the cost of the damage was around 30 million I think... I didn't stick around to stare at the buildings but some of the nearby one's looked pretty bad inside, they were all black...

Anyway I just had to ge that out because I have some good memories there and the whole place means a lot to me.
