My cactus is finally flowering.

I thought I should post a wee update as it is now May & I’m aiming for at least once a month. Not a lot, I know but I’m busy & I’m not that great at sitting down to write stuff. That’s why I love twitter. 140 characters, takes no time at all and you can do it on the bus.

So! My Birthday eh… it was pretty brawsome. Had a few folk round to the flat on Tuesday night (actual birthday was on Wednesday) and we had some drinking and chatter and music etc. I didn’t have the memory card for my new camera(woop) yet so don’t have any photos from the party, I thought I took some on the internal memory but alas I cannot find them!
It was just after midnight and I heard the “haaaapppy biii…” flowing round the living room door and I could see candlelight reflecting off the wall and I was like YAY CAKE! and then Kerry came round the corner holding my ukulele with a satsuma on it, and 4 candles in the satsuma. Nae cake but it was HILARIOUS! It was awesome. So that’s why I should always make myself a cake. lol. I did make a bitchin’ chilli for everyone to munch on though.
Then we all went to Split at Cabaret Voltaire for some healthy drum & bass. Did a bit of a dance, scared some dancers… came home! There were only about 1 girl to every 10 guys so it was a bit annoying. Guys seem to take up a lot more space when they’re dancing and are well rude but it was fine. Finally got to bed about 5.30am… had been awake since 6.30am because Dean had been working in the morning!! Crayzee. My Dad thought I would be at work and so phoned me at 9am to say happy birthday. Which was very nice of him but I was soooo tired. I don’t think he quite believed it was me on the phone because I’d lost my voice a bit.
Eventually we were all some kind of alive and went for breakfast/lunch (brunch I suppose eh?) at Moo Cafeteria. It was soooo tasty. I got the veggie breakfast stack but with bacon too. mmm the red onion chutney was delicious. Highly recommend any locals head along there! Once our hungers were satisfied, we headed down the the Botanical Gardens and the glasshouses were all free that week!! Yay! We couldn’t get into the victorian palm house though because I think it was being repaired. We saw 2 cats and took lots of pictures.
The day ended with party hats & a Nintendo cake and me falling asleep on the sofa about 8pm. Totally lovely day!

Some pictures:

Then on Friday some friends and the fam went for a meal & drinks down in Leith at the Waterfront, and once the “grown-ups” went home the rest of us went to the Rose Leaf. COCKTAILS IN TEAPOTS!!! I ♥ it there. Really want to go back soon. The speakers had hats on!!! Plus the landlady has the same birthday as me. It’s meant to be!

Still addicted to playing Fallout 3. If you’re on raptr feel free to add me as yer pal username: robotlove

My mate Chris has been staying at mine for a few days and we made this amazing chocolate pudding last night. It was like a mini soufflé and all gooey in the middle. I want to make more but I have no eggs! Need more eggs. Eggs are amazing ♥

Spotify link aye it’s awesome.

Apologies for any mistakes now. Cat is on my left hand so I’m skilling it up with my right.
He’s so *soft*

So I feel like I’ve done nothing recently but that’s not true. I’ve just finished a six day week at work. Finally got the stocktake figures updated, it’s only taken me 2 ½ weeks! That’s apparently a record! Woop! It’s only because the rest of the staff are so not geeks and I am. Only 2 have facebook, one guy has only JUST got rid of his dial up connection. It’s not the nineties pal. I’ve also started putting pictures of all of our jewellery onto the till. We have so much, it’s going to make things so much easier in the long run. Trying to decide what a “Bracelet, 4 stones + links” is can be tricky when you have about 10 things that could be that. AND I’ve started building a new website. The current one www.oneworldshop.co.uk is ok, but it could be way better. I’m using Joomla, took me days to get my head round it but I think I’m enjoying it now.

I also recently inherited a new motherboard from my friend. My old one couldn’t handle more than 526mb ram. This one comes with 2GB so I’m like, yes way. Only thing is, my Nvidea graphics card won’t fit in it!! :< And now I can't play The Sims 2 (after spending about 3 hours installing it + expansions & stuff packs) It's so crap.
I am so confused about which card to buy. I need something that is a pcie card (??) and also recommended for the sims!! Any help would be appreciated.

It's my birthday soon! Yay! I will be 23 on Wednesday. Which isn’t old so shut up. Some of us are going for a boogie at my favourite drum & bass club on the evening before and then a bit of a meal & drinks on Friday down at the shore. Check me out, I’m a grown up.
This is Oreo 2 seconds before a claws-out-high-five.

Big up to Sarah & Blitz for their comments.
