It's that time of year again

Tomorrow, it's my birthday (yay). 23 years ago, I was born. (I've lived in four decades, two centuries AND two millennia. Are you jealous? Yeah, I thought so.) So I thought I'd post a BIG LONG blog to celebrate this fact!

Except I couldn't think of anything to write, so instead, you can all enjoy the first LOLcat I find on Google that actually makes me lol. 

We could be here a while. You might want to grab a coke, Dr Pepper, Pepsi or whatever you drink while you wait....

Oh, you're still here.... Sorry, I had a nap and forgot to look for lolcats..... 

One Lolcat as promised. (WELL, sort of - I went AWWWW instead of Lol so really it's an AwCat.)

See you when I'm older!

Anne Inez McCaffrey (1926 - 2011)

Two days ago, Anne McCaffrey, author of (amongst others) the famous Dragonriders of Pern series, passed away after suffering a massive stroke. She was 85 years old, 

Her book, the White Dragon, was one of the first Science Fiction books to be featured on the New York times bestseller list. In 2005, she was named the 22nd Grand Master of the Science Fiction Writers of America. Her work won her the Hugo Award and two Nebula Awards.

I must admit, I haven't actually read any of her books. While I enjoyed looking at the covers of her books, I never took the time to pick one up. The reason I am writing this is because Mum absolutely loved them. If she wasn't working or making meals, chances were good that Mum was reading one of her books. Some of my earliest memories are of her talking about the Dragonrider series. They gave her so much joy, so I say "thank you" to Anne McCaffrey.

Rest in Peace

Damn, I've got to read one of these books!

The "You're still here" blog

In fact, loyal readers, it's been so long that I've actually managed to work myself out of the habit of coming on here every day. I used to check here, to see my friends' blogs (all of which have been silent for months) and to check up on figurine collections I've stopped collecting.

Why, I hear you asking?

Because I was bored of it. That's right. I was bored of blogging because, frankily, nothing happens to me very much. I go out with friends, watch dvds with my Dad and occasionally socialise with my brother. You know, the same old things we all do(which explains why my house is so crowded)

But this isn't a blog announcing I'm closing it down! No! This is a blog to say I intend to return to blogging whenever I feel like it. More than likely, this blog will continue with whatever the Frak* I feel like writing. In the future, my loyal readers, you can expect short stories, reviews of figures, video games and books or just general rants about whatever.

I hope you enjoy reading my entries as much as I enjoy writing them, folks.

Sadly, still not me
