More snow.

Had a really tedious time at work today. We were looking for people aged 16-24 who wear glasses and do not wear contact lenses and would consider wearing them! Huh. I found one all evening.

I suppose I was due a tedious time at work after the excitement I had getting to work. Today's discovery: the snowstorm that looks very pretty from your bedroom window is highly dangerous to walk in. Well, I'm sure those of you who live in places where it snows frequently know this, but in London we get something like 2 inches of snow every 5 years - blizzards are not a common occurrence! I'm thinking this snow has fallen as a special treat for me 'cause I didn't get round to making a snowman with the last lot, but I'm working for the next two days, so won't get a chance to. If it's still here on Sunday, I'll go out and make one while Tim & Peter & Richard laugh at me through the window.

I have made some new userpics, bringing my total up to 14 (of 15 allowed), with a space for the octopus pic I still don't have. I finally have an angry picture! Contemplating doing artistic things with some of my old pics which have been around for ages, but I don't know what yet.

I am currently an interesting mix of tired, pissed-off and excited. The excited part is winning, so I'm bouncing up and down listening to music and occasionally dancing round the room, despite having no energy. Got about 100 things to do, but I can't be bothered to do any of them. Ah well.

My favourite band in the entire world ever was on Top of The Pops tonight!! Extreme copyright violations can be found here, for a few days anyway.

I realised last night that I swear too much. I remember being told when I was a kid that it's okay to swear when you, say, hit yourself with a hammer by accident, because you need some way to get the anger out - but not okay to swear as an adjective, because it's just a sign of a limited vocabulary. Now, I know my vocabulary certainly isn't limited, but I definitely swear in ordinary conversation, rather than when actually frustrated. So I tried to write my last entry with no swearing at all, and it was really bloody hard! The problem is I already overuse the words "really" and "actually" and put things into italics - I'm not sure how many other ways there are to add emphasis! Hrm.
