Some random news

lishesquexI should be sleeping, but I can't sleep. Mum recruited me to work in the cafe tomorrow, which means an 8am start. Pfft. I haven't gotten up that early since high school.
Over the last couple of days I've had a lot of dreams about Stormy coming home. It's quite torturous. Because he hasn't.
I miss that stupid cat. I miss his stinky cat breath when he yawned widely right in my face. I miss how he'd attack my hand with his claws out but gently enough that it (usually) didn't hurt. I miss the warm dent he left at the foot of my bed after sleeping there for hours curled up in a lazy ball of fluff. I miss how he liked to hide around a corner and then jump out and playfully attack my feet as I'm walking down the corridor. I miss how he'd follow me for as long as he dared when I left the house to walk to the train station and how he'd sit on the pavement looking at me while I walked away. I miss how he'd lick my tears away when I cried.
*sigh*
I finally checked my uni results... 10 days after they came out. The delay wasn't for any particular reason (such as dread), but because I tend to lose track of the time rather easily these days. I don't think it's WoW's fault. It's more that I don't have anything to mark the time that passes by. Anyway, my results for last semester were:
Violence and Gender in Europe 1400-1900: H1
Second Language Learning and Teaching: H2A
Language and Culture: H1
Syntax: P
That's the first P I've ever received. It looked markedly alien next to all the Hs. But I deserved it, considering I stupidly overslept that morning and only finished 1/3 of the Syntax take home exam. Heh.
In other news, I watched Loving Anabelle the other day. I enjoyed it muchly. Erin Kelly is hawt.
In other, other news, all the Christmas decorations in the World of Warcraft remind me of the Discworld MUD Hogswatch (Christmas) festivities, which make me feel a bit nostalgic. I have some good memories amongst all those lines of text. Such as kissing![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
quew for the first time under the mistletoe... and making a Wizard character purely for the reason of magically producing a bouquet of flowers to give to random girls whenever I wanted... and repeatedly getting thrown out of the Assassin's Guild as a result of repeatedly trying to kiss the Assassin's Guild bath attendant (an NPC). Those were good days. :-)
...And when my LJ entry descends into a pointless reminiscing of my geeky and lecherous past, I think it's time for me to go to bed. *nods*
Godnatt.

Date: 2006-12-18 01:05 am (UTC)i'm really sorry to hear that Stormy still hasn't come home. My cat Splash disappeared a good 6 years ago, and I still have dreams that he comes home. They always seem so fucking real, that each time I dream it i really believe it's not a dream this time - and that he really is home. and every time i wake up broken hearted. I know what you are going through girl. and I'm really really sorry. *huge hugs*
My cat Honkey died just over a year ago as well - he's the one that I can't remember life without - he was more than a cat, he was my little man. I don't have dreams that he comes back because i know that he was about 22 years old and it was his time. but I had to take a day off work to deal with his disappearance. Just because they're animals doesn't mean we don't love them with all of our heart. Lil I hope Stormy comes back. I'm sorry to go on about it... animals - especially cats mean a lot to me.
I love you babe, Merry Christmas.
