Free fruit and nuts by post if you go to https://www.graze.com/ and enter this code: GWB4H8C
It's an upmarket healthy snack enterprise which is giving out freebies - someone at work gets it and I can confirm that the food looks delicious!

Anyone seen Cath's signed copy of Stardust? You'll know it's hers because it's dedicated to Catherine. Looks like this:
Thanks!

| Wishing I hadn't just deleted my 'grr' icon |
[04 Jul 2008|10:32am] |
Emotional rollercoaster!
Teary-eyed joy at news that pregnant transguy Thomas Beatie just had a healthy little girl, rapidly followed by rage at the comments on this article.
Not ONE positive comment. Not one person who wanted to offer congratulations. I've commented, but there's obviously a lag and it hasn't showed up yet, while two other negative comments have.
Please go forth and comment, people. I suggest we don't engage with the transphobes but simply blitz the article with joy and congratulations, so that if and when the new parents get to it, they won't be met with wall-to-wall hate.
Edit: Just called the news department and told them to keep an eye on the comments on there. :)

Thank you all for the multi-person virtual pounce that descended on my last post. I'm flattered and slightly bemused that people remain that pleased to see me. I do indeed exist but I'm afraid I have VERY little internet access until some time in September.

I'm sure most of you are aware of this, but I'm feeling the need to spread the word. Apparently LJ is now permanently deleting what they consider 'questionable content' without warning and banning the users. This doesn't necessarily mean illegal content. Two people were banned on Friday for posting Harry Potter smut art (smut between consenting adults, no less.) The LJ management are basically reserving the right to delete anything they consider too sexual if it 'has no artistic or literary value.' They're also refusing to define 'questionable content' or how they're judging literary and artistic merit.
A lot of useful info can be found here:

and here:

and there are links to more useful info within both.

I'm in Cambridge this weekend and am free Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning/afternoon and would like to catch up with people. I'd also appreciate crashspace on the Saturday night should any be going spare. :) Please drop me a comment/email, or anyone wishing to make arrangements after 5pm tomorrow, please call me on 07778 505468.

And here we have my LJ Christmas card to all of you... I hope at least some of you go as bonkers over this as I did, and I'm sure all of you will at least be able to see why I went bonkers over it:
The Snowdog.
Hope you all have a fantastic Christmas, Yule, 25th December, thing. :)

I'm just rearing my head briefly to discuss the topic of Christmas. Feeling awkward because I haven't posted in so long. I have had a fairly solid excuse for being absent from LJ for a while as I don't have internet at home and the computers at my previous job blocked LJ. However, they don't here and I've been here for about a month so I should really have got off my arse and posted at least once.
I'm doing well, holding on to my current job (admin for a mental health trust in Uxbridge) without any difficulty and enjoying sharing a flat in Ealing with Cath and a cute rat called Thingol :) I'll have internet at home in the new year, shortly after I get back from Bardcamp (the now-traditional weekend away doing Shakespeare readthroughs in the first weekend in January.) For those of my friends who are going, I'll be giving out Christmas presents then rather than before and am happy to wait until then for mine. It's sad but what I'd really like is a toaster, or in second favourite place, a kettle. As always, I'm also up for theatre tokens, book tokens/Amazon gift certificates and charity donations, but I'm really not expecting much - this is more of the order of an 'if you do happen to be thinking of giving me something, here are some ideas' rather than any kind of demand for presents.
It depresses me how bonkers and twitchy I sound on LJ when I really, honestly have become much saner. Or maybe I don't and it's bonkers and twitchy of me to think I sound bonkers and twitchy. I think I'll post this before I go round any further in that little circle. :)

Oh boy, it's my birthday in 2 days and I haven't even remotely posted or thought of a wishlist... I'm gagging for book tokens/Amazon gift vouchers more than anything (or theatre tokens, which you can get from http://www.dresscircle.co.uk/ .) Not really expecting a lot though! I'm not having a party right now because I'm absolutely not in the mood... not feeling unhappy at all, just unpartyish. But I do believe I shall throw a belated party when I feel like it. :)

Thanks everyone, we more than made 4000 dollars so I'm happy.

My birthday is coming up soon (I'll be 29!!) and if anyone does feel the urge to do something for me, I would love, love, love donations to this, please.
http://lilij.a.org.tripod.com
Okay, I think everyone knows I'm nuts about Julie Andrews. :) This charity is a favourite cause of hers because she lost her singing voice, and there is a massive fundraising effort going on by fans to make a big donation for her birthday, and there's going to be a birthday card presented to her with the names of everyone who donated. They are $302 away from $4,000 at the moment, with three days to go before the deadline for the end of donations. That's about 160 quid and I can't spare that much.
I know that some of you have issues about giving to charity for my birthday, and maybe especially in this case since I'm essentially asking you to give a birthday present to someone else as a birthday present to me. But for those of you who are okay with it, this is absolutely the thing I want the most and that will make me most happy. For those who aren't okay with it, I will be doing a bit of a birthday list nearer the time and I am quite capable these days of appreciating material possessions given to me for my personal pleasure and enjoyment, so don't worry. :)
There are only three days left to go on this - Sunday is the last day when people can donate. Please do consider it if you were thinking of getting me anything for my birthday. I know I continue to have odd taste in presents, but I'm not asking for this because I'm trying to be unselfish, I just want it really, really badly. :)
