Kate’s allegedly a human (although increasingly right-wing bigots would say otherwise). She’s definitely not a vampire, despite what some other people claim. She’s also mostly built out of spite and overcoming oppositional-sexism, racism, and other random bullshit.
So she’s either a human or a lizard in disguise sent to destroy all of humanity.
Either way, she’s here to reassure that it’s all fine.

It’s 5am in Amsterdam…
well, probably not, actually. It’s 8:32, or 8:30, or 8:35 depending on which of the local (to this room) time display devices you choose. And I’m ready for uni. Which is odd, because this morning I’ve done some exercise (not much, my knee decided it’d had enough after about 10 minutes, which was a bit…

Examy Doom (now with Crunchy Doom Flakes!)
So, exam. 13:30 is exam time. Oooh, just thinking that made me all stressy. Which is odd, because I’m reasonably happy that I know enough material to get a good pass. Which is oddly relaxing. I feel a bit shit though, stomach wise. I didn’t ring Trey last night either, we were watching Mystery, Alaska.…

Did I get out of bed on the wrong side this lifetime?
So… There I was doing some revision. And the post came. And lo, I’m stressed. Another unpaid bill; this time it’s the electricity from our old house, and this time at the level of debt collection agency. Gah. Where are they all coming from, and why did they leave it all till now to do…

Partial successes
…which sounds better than big stinking failure; which is how I felt, or sort of half feel. I managed to change the rear shocks/springs, and the new ones are *lush*; and changing them was dead easy. Putting on the new exhaust was easy peasy. Then there was the front forks….

Frustrate-a-kate
Stress! Today I found another bill which had managed to escape unpaid. By found, I mean we got the debt-collection-warning-bill. 80 quid on the debit card and that at least is avoided, but I’m beginning to think we need some different method of bill payment. 78 quid also seems a bit steep for uh, 1…

In the past month:
… my bike has started having brake problems … my car’s engine has died … the student loans company have started taking payments, despite the fact I’m paid a whopping 2400 quid a year … the credit card payment I made was delayed (meaning a fine and a nasty letter) … a new income tax…

Some bits arrived.
The first batch of (bike) bits arrived today. Am trying to locate enthusiasm to take apart brake caliper, clean it, and reassemble it, pending arrival of other parts. Not succeeding. Still, had a fabby ride today; although Claire had a bit of a laugh with jumping out of gear at exactly the moment that the…

And 170 pounds later
I have a congential inability to spend money on myself. By which I mean, clothes (even underwear!), books, cds, televisions. I can’t buy these things for me easily. This is because I’m broke. But vehicles? My minor’s just eaten 271 pounds (that I don’t have), and will need a further 50 plus petrol to go…

Future imperfect
It’s a bit of a scary time at the moment. Scary, frustrating, good, fun, bad stressful…. With the money situation, I suppose, actually having remained static – insofar as I worked for half my bloody holiday just so that I could…. spend it all on repairing Rebecca. So, my attempt to get back into credit…
