number crunching...

Left arm - 13
Right arm - 8
Face - 1

Thats 22 Midgie Bites from this evening.
That can't be good! They don't normally show either, but these must have been some killer mutant ones so I have lots of itchy as anything pink bumps on my arms! Arrgghhh!

Must itch, must itch, must itch.

In other news the boss has actually moved me on to some design! After a year of being the company mule and doing the boring jobs, I get two days to comp up some ideas for a client, and then should they be chosen I get to design the site for them. I am competing against an experienced pro, on the down side, but even if they don't choose my design, hopefully they will be good enough to show the boss that I can do it, and get me more of that. It is after all the reason I spent three years at uni...

I had an allergic reaction to some midgies last Summer i sat out by my pool too late at night with a glass of vino, watching this bat fly round my house! My colleagues thought i had love bites which made me embarrassed at the time. Anyway the itchin drove me bonkers! I don't sit out late at night now so no more ickies

  - 2005-09-08 @ 11:27:17
  Ouch! That sounds really painful Jessica, you should get some of those candles that keep them away, and give off a nice warm glow for your late night vino.. hehe, i can imagine hickies would get some comment

    Fnar fnar....that made me chuckle. Bats are evil - little beady eyes. And they make squeaky noises like a small rubber ball...

I've been pondering it since my last post....
But I feel I've always known....somewhere, deep down

Yup, strange thing to be tapping into though....
Isn't spam nasty? Especially the weird "jelly" bits in it....eeeooch.
- - SgtPeppers
  - 2005-10-10 @ 21:51:25
  Well, of course its strange its your feelings, isn't it
  
  And spam is kind of gross if you think about it, but sometimes you can eat a bit and its quite tasty, as long as you never ever try to grill it!

        Research on cyber-hugs, huh...? Is this for a special paper you're writing...?
        
        I'm easily persuaded, so, ****HUG****

    Meh, kinda average...just stayed in and overplayed my PS2...oops. Fear I may go blind now...
    
    Ooh, and I danced around my flat with my ipod. Always fun
    - - SgtPeppers
      - 2005-10-10 @ 23:00:15
      Ahh, don't go going blind now Helly, it'd take some of the funout of the games then!
      
      Oooh, glad I'm not alone in dancing around with the iPod. I wonder if there is anyone who actually doesn't do that?

        There probably are some who are "too cool for school" and only use it as a posing item...
        
        Me however, (and apparently you too ) will not give a tiny rat's ass and dance around like loons...
        
        I have trash on my ipod. I own up now.

Hmmm, I doubt it boy!!

Okay....I have *gulps*

1 - Sabrina "Boys, boys, boys"
2 - MC Hammer "U Can't Touch This"
3 - Destinys Child "Bug-A-Boo"
4 - Prince "When Doves Cry" + "Gett Off"
There are others but I'm truly ashamed....
- - SgtPeppers
  - 2005-10-10 @ 23:22:26
  Hey, whats wrong with MC Hammer?!?!?!? All the cool kids have that track, including me
  
  I have to admit, they're are some truly dubious choices there, but then I frequently find myself jumping around to none other than house of pain 'Jump Around'
  
  and I may have Mark Owen four minute warning too...

Hey, House of Pain were good!! That song's top notch!!

You may have Mark Owen, huh? Aaaw, I used to love Markie in his Take That days....but that song's rotten!!

But can you do the whole MC Hammer rap and dance at the same time...?!
- - SgtPeppers
  - 2005-10-10 @ 23:35:10
  I'm SO sorry Helly, that Mark Owen song is unforgivable. And reminded me that Blondie 'heart of glass' lurks in a forgotten corner of the iPod...
  
  And I do that whole rap dance thing so well people thought I was Hammer and had just got Michael Jacksons skin thing going on
  - - (Visitor)
    - 2005-10-10 @ 23:39:54
    *shocked* I will not hear a bad word about Blondie. Any Blondie song. Debbie Harry's my hero....
    
    So, got the whole pasty skin thing going on have you? Me too - don't mind though, would rather be pale than orange...!! x
    - - SgtPeppers
      - 2005-10-10 @ 23:43:38
      Atomic Rocks too, I have to draw Debbie Harry sometime she was an icon!
      
      Hehe, not really sure, I am pale, but my grandpa was from eastern europe, so sometimes people say it has a bit of a tint to it, I don't see it myself tho And good on you, orange isn't a good luck!

Aah Debbie Harry was gorgeous when she was younger, always wished I looked like her.

Eastern European hmm? Now you mention it, you can see a little something in your picture....only slight, mind.

And I don't think I'd use fake tan - it only seems to come in two shades for me, Satsuma and Tangerine....
- - SgtPeppers
  - 2005-10-11 @ 00:03:05
  Debbie was indeed, but I have to say, you should wish you look like you, you're fab!
  
  And yeah, I've noticed that with a lot of people who use fake tan, I prefer the natural look, so am an obvious fan of your choice
