Birthdays...and Lolcats...

Ok, so I haven't blogged in a while, and to be truthful, it's because I couldn't have been arsed...I had a week off work, and I spent it relaxing and doing other stuff...


The week off was taken because I was turning another year older...yes, I am now 23 and I needed a week to get over that fact :P. Really though, there was other stuff happening, so it made sense to make a week of the holidays. Thursday was my birthday, and on the Wednesday night before, I gots me some pressies and shopping vouchers. I had big plans for Next on the Friday, but we will come to that later. I also got a 'birthday cake' :) (I don't care that it wasn't really a birthday cake, but I picked it and it was nummy - It's my party and I'll cry if I want too!)

Thursday, I done very little and on the Friday, mum and I went on a girly shopping spree. First was Peacocks then it was up to Next... I had gotten Peacocks and Next vouchers, so I wanted to use them. Into Next, picked some nice clothes, done some trying on, some switching sizes, switching colours, switching styles and finally, a nice outfit...time to pay. Up to the checkout, beeped through the clothes, girl tells me price and I hand over my vouchers...girl replies "Oh, sorry, we can't take vouchers today. We had a power cut and our tills are not accepting them at the minute..." So...............
Kylie had to pay one item by cash, one by my card and another with mums card!!! Good job we where able to do so, or I would have been going out the next night naked! We decided then to go to Primark and go home. Saturday night was a charity gig at O'Brien's steakhouse for Alzheimers, where we partied, sucked helium and sang songs, and had a great night, and Sunday was hangover day, and an anniversary dinner for my uncle... :)

In between all of these goings on, I had myself a laugh some nights on my computer at Lolcats...I do not care what anyone says, some of those pictures are friggin' hilarious and can give you a good laugh when you are in need of it! Then I had an idea (not really on genius level)...make some Lolcat pics of Chewi! I am proud :D

I am NOT sad :D

The other day, I came across stuff that goes by the name of 'Wow...I didn't know that'...but they were facts. Admittedly there was some things I did know, but most of it was quite...strange, so I decided to stick some on here....for the sake of a blog really...

My cat is trying to kill me...

Recently while using google for god knows what, I came across a page on how to tell if your cat is trying to kill you. Yes, you read that right, trying to kill you, and as I thought it was good, I thought I would throw it on here...

How to tell if your cat is plotting to kill you by Matthew Inman


It was a look at what cats usually do on a day to day basis and how this contributes to them plotting to kill you. I thought it was quite funny...

So, when I look at all of the things Chewi does, it makes me wonder.While she doesn't knead on me, she has a habit of walking up and down me, or over the top of me during the night. Sometimes she stops and sits down, while staring at me. Maybe this is a sign that she has found an epic weak spot and is contemplating her next move! This would also contribute to the staring contests she puts on while sitting usually in high places with eyes that look like two little slits in her face. The bringing of pressies and throwing up grass doesn't happen with Chewi as she doesn't go outside on her own. However if she did, I doubt any would occur as she is lazier than your average cat and is a very fussy eater, putting the grass out the window! Therefore, there is a lot more shovelling of kitty litter, which I have to brush up from all over the room....does this mean I am helping her dig my grave :o.... Hiding in random places is a Chewi special, from which she usually jumps out landing on an unsuspecting passer by's leg! Its not really 'hiding' either as her ass, tail or ears is usually stickin out from somewhere! I have already mentioned what she does while I am lying down, or asleep and rudely awakened by her, but Chewi usually konks out beside me and sleeps there until she is woke. She does like to sit right in front of the computer screen while it is being used and again, do a bit of staring...as for the sprinting out of the room, this happens all the time, and it is more of a bolt instead of a sprint, so there are many failed ambushes in Chewi's case. This also leads to a session of darting at high speed from room to room while I just..watch. So either she is confused or is pretty useless at trying to ambush anyone.

So after taking all of this into consideration and knowing that my cat can be pretty lazy, I reckon I am quite safe and that this particular cat is not plotting to kill me just now. Either that or she is just not making a very good job of it. Anyway, I will love her until she succeeds, but I loved the How to tell if your cat is plotting to kill you webpage! Great job :D
