Oh, bongo drums

Hello, my friends. I have done not nearly enough work but this is more important than that. I am in a very strange mood today - I have 2 weeks of solid exams that I haven't revised for coming up and yet I'm in a kind of a happy-yet-very-stressed mood. 'Tis tres bizarre. Kind of like the strange pleasure you get from putting your shoes on the wrong feet. Does anyone else get that or is it just me? I think it might just be me.

It is my mum's birthday today. I got her Angela's Ashes - the book, not the film. It's my dad's birthday tomorrow. I bought him the Penguin Concise English Dictionary, aren't I a good daughter? He will LOVE it. No I'm neither thoughtless nor extremely unimaginative, he asked for it. Not in the sense of "My dad annoys and provokes me so he deserves a dictionary for his birthday." I stole his a while ago and he needs a new one for crosswords. I reckon he's just going to look up random (not rude) words for fun like I used to do at school though, that's all anyone ever wants a dictionary for. Yay, it will be my birthday on 24th June, and Alex's on 25th June - I think we might be doing exciting stuff on my birthday (Thurs week 10) as a joint birthday thing, although we're not sure what yet. Everyone is invited! Yay! It's a long way off but it's one of the few things I have to look forward to at the minute, what with exams and other annoyingness. So I will continue to go on about it for a while.

I like this poem. It describes my present mood perfectly - the utter joy of having chickens around, combined with the panic of out-of-control pecking and general chaos. Oh and while I'm at it, here's Phil's recommendation.

I might set up a new poll soon, not sure what on though. Maybe I should set up a poll about what subject I should set up a poll on, hmmm...

Let me leave you with this advice: do not eat too many Starburst Sea Monsters, they make you feel hungry and yet unable to eat without feeling sick.

Est-ce qu'il y a un eglise pres d'ici? Je veux faire du praying, oui. Continuez tous droite puis tournez a gauche? Ah, merci beaucoup.
Au revoir mes amis x x x
