A big hug and kiss to everyone to cheered me up yesterday, and reminded me that I really need to stop being so paranoid about the way I look. *grins*
I know I'm so silly somtimes, I really do appreciate the way you all put up with me. *hugs all round* :)
And Tanya, if you're reading this -- call me! We definately need to meet up, I miss you girl! *squeeze*

I saw one of my favourite animals on David Attenborough's The Life of Birds tonight -- the wonderous Kakapo.
I've been in love with these poor, adorable creatures for over 10 years, ever since I read about them in Douglas Adams' best and least well known book Last Chance To See. The Kakapo is the world's largest flightless parrot, and lives in New Zealand. They are one of the most endangered species in the world, with only about 70 of them remaining, none of whom live in their original habitat in the fjords on the southern island. They have mottled green-brown plummage and enormous eyes, and are absolutely beautiful. One of the most amazing things about them is that even though they are completely flightless, they seem to have forgotten they can't fly. Kakapos have the amusing (if alarming) habit of climbing up into a tree and leaping off, blissfully unaware that they will not soar into the sky, but plummet to the ground with an enourmous thud. How can you not love such an endearingly hopeless creature? :)


Am very annoyed that I am going to miss seeing Andy Serkis (aka Gollum) at the Two Towers Event in Piccadilly Circus tomorrow because I'll be in rehearsal all afternoon. Grr. I'll try and make it for the lecture from The Art of Lord of the Rings and The LOTR Companion author Brian Sibley in the evening, but I may just miss it, or not get in because of overcrowding. Wish me luck!


I feel like I should join all this NaNoWriMo nonsense just because everyone else I know is doing it, but then I also know that there's no way in hell I would EVER finish a book this month, especially when I can't even finish the paragraph or two needed to complete my lesson for Hogwarts Online. God, I am such a lazyarse. *laughs*


Oooh. Forgot to mention for the benefit of eyre_lasgalen and lady_luiniel that I watched Return of the Jedi tonight. Yay Wedge! *cheers for the only X-Wing pilot to survive all three films* :D


Here is another informative questionaire, this time made by scarletmacaw. Go on, click it! There's new stuff in there, I promise. *grins*
(And remember, I only do FUN quizzes that actually tell you interesting things about the person. So click it, dammit! *glares* *laughs* ;-)

I can't believe I always worry about my journal entries being too short. *lol*
