It's back

Thu, 10 May 2007 22:39:35 GMT

*waves to anyone who does actually read this* hey I'm back, and Comet are quicker than PC World which is good so now I have a fully working laptop and lots of bunnies so I'm off to work on them

Laptop

If there is a god of computers which in this day and age I would not be surprised if someone somewhere does not worship Microsoft - I mean Jedi is a religion so why not computers - then they really do hate me.

My third laptop in as many years has gone off to be fixed here's hoping that Comet and Acer are quicker than PC World and Packard Bell were the last two times! Anyway me with no laptop is not a good thing, I can't write due to a lack of privacy on the home comp. and can only check a few websites a day - lets not get onto the games. Positive side I can now finally catch up on the DVDs I've been meaning to watch for a while, not sure why I started with LXG though. Thank ITV for Midsommer Murders don't know how I would cope without that in the afternoon! On the plus side at least I'm at work on friday.

Well it's been a while since I posted here, but oh well. Yesterday was my first day at Boughton House, won't get into the long and complicated story involving my boss. Anyway I now have heard more about French furniture than I ever wanted to know but it's all good. Here's to next friday being a little less stressful!

First post.

Okay well here's to hoping that this works. First time I've ever tried to use LJ for myself. Anyway if you've found this then you probably already know who I am. Student of Archaeology and Ancient History in the midlands. I write a lot and I will be posting everything on here at some point. Write quite a bit of slash but also gen and het fic. So feel free to add me to your friends and lets see if this works right
