hathycolI have just watched the appeal for Earthquake Relief. I get paid tomorrow, and you can bet that I'm giving everything I can. Still doesn't feel like enough, but I will do what I can. The number in Britian is 0870 60 60 900.
With all this in mind, I am making my opinions of what I am going to term the OSA Splooge public. Once in a lifetime offer, and I will explain that why in the little speech.
1. I enjoy OSA. I have made many friends - Splooge and otherwise - and I consider myself honoured and lucky to have found both them and the website.
2. Despite my nasty, bitchy tendancy, I am also a coward when it comes to people and things that I care about.
3. People and things that I care about have recently come into conflict.
4. This makes me incrediibly sad. I believed that if I ignored it I could remain loyal to both - if I just stayed quiet that I might somehow let it all wash over my head.
5. Just call me Switzerland. I'm staying out of this one. My opinions - which have not changed in either e-mail - have been sent seperately, and privately, because I didn't want to be dragged into this publically. I'm sorry this has happened.
I just want this whole argument to stop. It's demeaning to either side, and people are getting HURT. Now stop and think a while. Go and look at BBC News 24. See the pictures in Indonesia, in Sri Lanka, in Thailand.
If the argument continues, it continues - that's everyone's right. The people concerned are good friends of mine and an archive that I still enjoy visiting, whatever has happened. I have defended people privately over e-mail because I am desperately trying to remain non-controversial, but this is my public statement.
Comments and discussion are welcomed, but ONLY on this post. I am trying not to hurt anyone. I'm sorry if I have. Deeply and genuinely.
Now for the LOVE of GOD can we get back to the pr0n? Please?
This morning, I arose at 11 and bellowed downstairs "CAN NO ONE IN THIS HOUSE CONVERSE WITHOUT THE STAIRS IN THE MIDDLE?" possibly proving my point as I did so. There is no need to bellow up and down the stairs when I am trying to sleep into the early hours of the afternoon!
Foiled again, I wandered downstairs and decided to go and hunt for a mobile hpone, having seen an advert that I could get a pay-as-you-go for £9.99. Hmmm, I thought. As I about to leave, Andrew phoned. I neded up going shopping with Andrew and not getting a phone - the hidden part was the £15 credit you had to get each month. I am far too tight to spend that much on my phone per month. Oh well. I will get a nice phone in the summer, as I originally planned, as well as a magazine and another spare tongue bar. Andrew and I then spent the rest of the day generally arsing around. A good day, despite the fact I am vaguely panicking about my workload now. Tonight, since due to late rising I will be going to bed late, I plan to at least do the additional reading and tomorrow and Friday day will contain something in the way of Real Revision.
*wibbles*
We have new mugs. This makes me happy, as they are rather cool and studenty, and unless I find better ones I may nick them in September. I've started to mentally assemble a list to Stuff To Steal - right now it includes the grater, at least one breadboard and a casserole dish. Fingers crossed, El Parento won't notice until I've crossed the border...
Anyway. I have nothing else of interest to post, although I do have Colleen Show fanfiction... *is tantalising* Appalling piece, to be enitrely honest, but there's nothing else to compare it to. So NYEH.
