Listens: Poison - Alice Cooper

As tis the season to be jolly (I HATE the word Jolly!!!) I'm kindly going to intersperse this entry with groovy pix... (unfortunaetly I've forgotten whose icons they are, so i can't credit. Sorry!!!)



Hahahaha!!!!! There are some very .....interestingly, shall we say?... shaped boxes under the tree - I would almost swear one is the EXACT SIZE AND SHAPE of the TTT Extended Cut - ie it's the same size of my Fellowship one.... Ho ho ho!!!
Valar, don't you just love the whole Christmas circuit? Especially the end of school? Watching all the Christmassy concerts I have to go see cuz my lil bro's in, it's really funny just catching Annie or Fiona's eye, because they fall about laughing... then Mr Fraser always does his 'Youth of Today' speech (speech in INCREDIBLY thick Aberdonian accent where he goes on about how 'these young people' have proved that all the bad stories about the youth of today are not true). Just glancing round the stage, I can see one person who regularly smokes all sorts of illegal drugs, many who definitely get pissed on a regular basis, at least one who self harms, a thriteen year old who cheats on her friend's boyfriend in quite a serious way, and that's just the choir... ;) No offense meant!
Then there's Church Bingo... I invented this, very proud... You compile a list prior to any church service that the minister is likely to say, and each participant chooses 8 easy words and 2 hard words. (My choices were Jazz Band (hard), Quiet Please, Christian, church, war, Iraq (hard), manger, holidays, Christmas and beard, maybe? I forget) I got seven!!! (If you get all of them, you have to shout BINGO!, and if you don't get any, you can't leave until the minister has left.) Bonus points are given for certain words, such as Mr fraser or Johnny Bunion. Tres fun.



Okay, these are my first proper icons - I was sucked in by the festive spirit. I know they're pretty bad, but frankly when it comes to computers I suck proverbial cock! ;)









Also, I was trying to make a banner, but failed miserabley, you can see where I was going, so if there's anyone who would take this banner on and fix it I will love you forever (and possibly send you a Christams Ecard) Here's the unfinished banner - The caption is " 'Damn the free people of Middle Earth' thought Santa. 'There'll be no presents unless I get my elves back!' "
