Fuck. We've gone and done it again.

L. Ron Hubbard
Went to the cupboard
To give his dawgs what they worth.
When he looked inside
All that he could find
Were copies of Battlefield Earth.

Lieutenant-Colonel Tim Collins is under investigation following allegations that troops under his command mistreated Iraqi civilians and POWs.

This is the guy who made that poetic speech while the US Vice-Admiral I'mAnAsshole whooped, "It's hammer time!"

I've got myself a job interview at WHSmith, for a trainee supervisor's position.

I applied a while back, but was late handing it in, and didn't hear anything back so I assumed I hadn't got it. Then yesterday afternoon, I got a phonecall just as me and Anny were about to get on the bus to campus, and a woman told me I had an interview at 2pm next Thursday.

Cool. Looking forward to it. Need to get my suit dry-cleaned, and might have to buy a new shirt.

Thought I'd give the Color Test another go:

Your Existing Situation
Persistent. Demands what he feels to be his due and endeavors to maintain his position intact.

Your Stress Sources
Wishes to be independent, unhampered, and free from any limitation or restriction, other than those which he imposes of himself or by his own choice and decision.

Your Restrained Characteristics
Willing to participate and to allow himself to become involved, but tries to fend off conflict and disturbance in order to reduce tension.
Wants to broaden his fields of activity and insists that his hopes and ideas are realistic. Distressed by the fear that he may be prevented from doing what he wants; needs both peaceful conditions and quiet reassurance to restore his confidence.

Able to achieve satisfaction through sexual activity.

Your Desired Objective
Longs for tenderness and for a sensitivity of feeling into which he can blend. Responsive to anything esthetic and tasteful.

Your Actual Problem
Does not wish to be involved in differences of opinion, contention or argument, preferring to be left in peace.


Interesting, and as accurate as ever.

Hmm, another visitor who came via a search engine.

A while back I made fun of Craig in his blog's comments page when someone found his blog by typing 'Friction burns on penis' into a search engine. (I'd just like to point out that while the words did appear on the same page of his blog, they weren't in that order.)

I've been found via 'fuck's sex supplies'. Presumably, this is an online dildo shop.

I made a few comments the other day on Lucrecia's blog, after she put up (and then removed) a semi-rant about the way LURPS and Pulsar don't do themselves any favours when it comes to dispelling the stereotypes the rest of campus have of us. (For the record, there was nothing offensive in that semi-rant, so don't direct any self-righteous anger at Lucrecia.)

Various people seem to have gotten it into their heads that I have something against live roleplay. Odd, really, seeing as how I never said anything against it.

All I said was that the rest of campus has the inaccurate impression that live roleplay is roleplay, and haven't a clue that tabletop exists, and this is a prime misconception that needs remedying if we're going to get more people (from the mainstream) interested in LURPing.

8pm, County Bar, buy me a drink (please).

I can't guarantee there'll be any cake left, since I seem to have invited more people than there are servings.

So far, I've celebrated my birthday by tidying my room for the first time this year.

Here's to wild, wacky spontaneity!

I've got to try and organise something for tonight. Vaguely agreed to pop along to campus at 9pm to meet the jugglers, but should really try and grab people before then.

Happy birthday to me,
Happy birthday to me,
Happy birthday dear Archie,
Happy birthday to me.
