    <content type="html">Damnit, I missed the one year anniversary of my last LJ post by a matter of days! Would have been so cool.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, still around. And by making this post I get to use this icon, which is the best icon of all time. OF ALL TIME! I still play WoW, I still slash, I still watch far too many TV shows and I'm still a benefit-receiving slacker who sits at home all day doing the things listed above. However my cat Monsa passed away in December and I still miss her so much it hurts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yep that's pretty much my life right now. Hope everyone here in LJ land is doing well!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;edit: OMG I wrote slasher instead of slacker, Freudian slip of DOOM!</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;a href="http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/economics/article5329762.ece" target="_blank"&gt;Here&lt;/a&gt; is a really good article written by a British journalist about the economic crash in Iceland, and Gordon Brown's part in it all. It's not as dry as it sounds, it paints a really nice picture of Iceland and its people and how we're a nation of extremely unlucky but hard-working folk. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I highly recommend reading it, it's so cleverly written that even -I-, with the attention span of a gnat couldn't look away.</content>

    <lj:music>Britney Spears - Quicksand</lj:music>
    <content type="html">Mostly updating to show off my shiny new icon. I made it myself! I'm on such a Britney kick right now, constantly listening to her new album. I didn't much like it on first listen, but it grew on my really fast and now I hearts it. To further prove my obsession, I got up at 7:20 in the morning to secure tickets for one of her London gigs next summer. Which I did! Not as good seats as I could have gotten if the goddamn website hadn't rejected my credit card, but row Y from the stage isn't that bad. I guess. *sigh* My sister is coming with me, should be a blast.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Less happy news, my great aunt just died and I'm going to the funeral on Friday. I didn't really know her, I'm mostly just going for my grandparents' sake. And since I'll be doing that, I doubt I'll make it to HAG that evening. =( Sorry girls, if you're reading this. Funerals just take a lot out of me, even when I wasn't close to the person.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm leaving for London on the 19th to spend the holidays with my parents and my sister. Should be a nice time, and I finally get to see the bungalow I'll be moving into next year. But I REFUSE to walk up the HILL OF DOOM AND PAINFUL DEATH. My mom hates it too so hopefully we'll find a bus that takes us to my sister's.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, I dinged 80! Omigod! I can finally raid and do heroics and raid... Eugh. Raid. It's really only fun sometimes. I specced into some cookie-cutter frostfire spec that all the mages in my raid are using. I just do as I'm told, man. It's going to be painful now to go back and level my other toons, with no flying mount. D: Oh well. And the rep grinds and the dailies... Yay, 80. x_x</content>

    <content type="html">Happy birthday to meeeee! I'm going out to dinner tonight with the family and Luke, should be a really nice time. ^^ And I do believe the new Sims 2 expansion came out today, so yay! Awesome birthday present right there (even if I can't afford to actually buy it 'til next week).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, one thing I think I should clarify: In my &lt;a href="http://irda.livejournal.com/246944.html" target="_blank"&gt;last post&lt;/a&gt; I completely forgot to mention that I'll only be staying in London for 6 months, like it's not a permanent thing. Unless of course I have a FABULOUS time and don't miss Monsa at all and just decide to stay there....but we'll see.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I dreamt last night that I had a boyfriend. He was oh-so pretty, all tanned and athletic and clean-cut, kind of reminds me of this guy I went to school with only my dream boyfriend was much better looking. And he was only 21, and he was quite shocked when he learned that I was 27. Which I now officially am. Oh, and in the dream I cut my hair shorter and dyed it a really cool dark red colour, mostly so that my boyfriend's mother wouldn't recognise me from when we met on holiday in Florida. Go figure. *sigh* It was fun to have a boyfriend. Maybe one day, when/if I'm straight again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did I mention that I saw &lt;i&gt;Mamma Mia&lt;/i&gt;? Eeeee what a fun movie! The best, or at least the most entertaining movie I've seen this year. It's the kind of movie you could watch everyday. Girliest movie EVER. I haven't been in a theater that filled with estrogen since I saw &lt;i&gt;Sex and the City&lt;/i&gt;. Which, you know, also fantastic. Can't wait to get them on DVD.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WoW life has been pretty good lately. I have three 70's now and Taini has entered Outland. Last night I attended my first Kael'thas kill. Didn't get any loot but I got that really shiny ring from being exalted with Scale of the Sands, and having completed the Vials of Eternity quest. Still a ways to go for my damn title. I don't even have Champion of the Naaru! How pathetic am I? -_- Can't believe I'll go to Northrend with nothing but my old Stone Guard title. But hey, content patch soon! EEEEEEEEEEEEEE. My hunters are going to be SO happy. *runs around in circles*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay, that's it. Need fooooooooood.</content>

    <content type="html">I'm on my way to bed (early, right?) but I wanted to pop in here and let you all know there's been some progress in the whole moving-to-London deal. I talked to my dad tonight, he's here in Iceland at the moment, and he said that he and mom are aiming to move to London around November 1st, and that I could move out there at Christmas. I'll be spending the holidays there with my parents and my sister, so it'll be pretty handy to just, you know, buy a one way ticket. :O That is so HUGE. I've never lived abroad before! I'm really glad that I'll be staying with my parents and having my sister around, 'cause that gives a little security in a big new city. I'm actually excited about it. Nervous too, but I'm already planning like, what I'm taking with me and such. So far I've got:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Computer&lt;br /&gt;- Computer accessories&lt;br /&gt;- Clothes&lt;br /&gt;- Pillow&lt;br /&gt;- Hair dryer + curling iron&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...and that's about it. I feel like I can just buy a new desk chair, and I'm sure my parents can hook me up with a lil' computer desk. I thought about my books but hell, I'll just buy new books in LONDON. One downside of that city is they apparently have crap internet, or so my brother in law tells me. But ah well, so long as I can download WoW patches and my TV shows, it's all good. At the moment I'm mostly worried about how much I'll miss my Monsa. =( She'll stay here with Luke obviously, and I just hope she won't be too mad at me for leaving, for then there will be POO.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But wooo. London baby, yeah!</content>

    <lj:music>Hell's Kitchen season 2</lj:music>
    <content type="html">So I was hanging out with my friends tonight, and as you do, the topic of nipples and uvulas came up. I can't remember exactly what was being talked about, but the resident Englishman, might I note the only native speaker, delivered this gem:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"If you think your uvula is on your chest, I don't want to know what your gynecologist has been telling you."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He's never, ever living that down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh and will those godforsaken American networks PLEASE stop bleeping out naughty words on Hell's Kitchen? Why even make a show with Gordon bloody Ramsay if you're going to bleep all the curse words?! That is entirely illogical. For fuck's sake, how juvenile. Excessive swearing is childish, yes, but BLEEPING and BLURRING the mouth of the person saying the words is equally immature. Grow the fuck up or move the show to HBO.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, and here: FUCK SHIT ASSHOLE CUNT FUCKER FUCKING FUCKED AAAAH!</content>

    <content type="html">Two people on my MSN contact list have Joker quotes after their names. Lawl. I saw DK on Wednesday, it was really good. I might be the only person on the planet who was more entertained by Batman Begins, but I think maybe I just need to see DK a few more times. After all I've seen BB like four times, gives a very different overall impression.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, the roommate thing is starting to clear up. The Swedish guy is willing to move in this Friday, while the girl dropped out since she doesn't need anywhere to live 'til the end of August. So, once I get Luke's final approval I'll call Andreas and tell him the room is his. I'm so relieved we managed to find someone for next month, and someone who seems really nice at that. He's willing to pay for August and the extra month's deposit and everything. My dad will be mighty pleased. So yes, roommate crisis averted!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Monsa has been SO needy since I got home. Every chance she gets she plants herself next to me, purring like a jet engine and poking me if I dare to stop petting her for ten seconds. I think it's because &lt;span  class="ljuser  i-ljuser  i-ljuser-deleted  i-ljuser-type-P     "  data-ljuser="deppo" lj:user="deppo" &gt;&lt;a href="https://deppo.livejournal.com/profile/"  target="_self"  class="i-ljuser-profile" &gt;&lt;img  class="i-ljuser-userhead"  src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/userinfo_v8.png?v=17080&amp;v=923.1" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="https://deppo.livejournal.com/" class="i-ljuser-username"   target="_self"   &gt;&lt;b&gt;deppo&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; has moved out, she loves the Deppo so she's needing that extra bit of attention while she's getting used to her being gone. Luckily Andreas has lived with cats all his life so he'll be good with Monsa (and maybe I'll get a little break when she has someone new to bother).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm playing LOTRO again. For those not in the know it's Lord of the Rings Online, a LotR MMO. I got a trial subscription, just to see how the game's changed since it first came out. I'm having lots of fun, although it's such a BITCH that they don't have any addons. I mean I have to actually LOOK for the quest objectives, and SEARCH for things in my inventory! What the hell?! I kind of want to buy a subscription so I can play the game properly, a trial account can't send mail or trade with other characters or use the auction house. Pretty shitty. However I know that it'd most likely be a waste of money, since I never stick to any game other than WoW. I could buy a lifetime subscription but that's $200, which is 16000 IKR. That's nearly half my rent money! I'll wait and see if I'm still interested in the game after my 14 trial days are up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm supposed to be a reserve for a Kael'thas raid today, but Luke called and invited me to come to the mall for some free hot choklit so I said 'fuck it'. Haven't been feeling the raid vibe much lately. Could be 'cause I suck. I'm one of the, if not THE worst DPS'er in the raid. That's pretty disheartening. I swear I'm doing my best, but. *shrug* I just can't see WHAT I'm doing wrong. I guess I need +haste gear? Maybe I'll reroll for WotLK end game. Maybe even play a healer or a tank. Could be a fun change of pace.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My alarm just went off, I meant to wake up now, but because I didn't take sleeping pills I woke up a bit earlier. Which is nice, I don't like sleeping too late. I mean 14:30 is late enough as it is, amirite?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want this month to be OVER. So broke. Need money for fooooooood. ARGH.</content>

First a couple wanted to rent the room, and we're really not interested in renting with two more people, plus they hardly spoke any English at all, let alone Icelandic. Then this Czech guy got in contact with us, seemed really nice but after we emailed him back he never contacted us again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And today, I get TWO emails. An Icelandic girl and a Swedish guy, and they BOTH seem really promising. Both highly educated, used to living with people, the girl loves cats and the guy has a house in Sweden that he rents out so he fully understand the importance of good tenants. I mean come on! When it rains it pours. Good roommates. D:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hopefully one of them has highly infectious boils or something. Amirite?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And oh, just one flaw shared by both of them: They can't move in 'til the end of next month. =/ My dad won't like that too much. But maybe Luke and I can pitch in with the rent 'til then, I dunno.</content>

    <content type="html">I went to see Paul Simon tonight and the show was fantastic! He and his band were so damn good, talk about a group of amazingly talented musicians. Not dissing the newer artists but there's something to be said for a guy who's been going strong for decades. You've got to be something special to have that sort of staying power. He played a few old favourites like &lt;i&gt;Sounds of Silence&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Graceland&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Mrs. Robinson&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Boy in the Bubble&lt;/i&gt;. My ultimate favourite performances though were &lt;i&gt;Still Crazy After All These Years&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;You Can Call Me Al&lt;/i&gt;, both of which he sang during the first encore. SUCH a fun show. And the audience was so damn considerate. At so many concerts people are being loud and obnoxious so you can hardly hear the band, but for Mr. Simon everyone was completely quiet while he was singing. And, the music itself wasn't too loud either. You know when music is so loud you can't even hear it anymore? Hate that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I ended up going with &lt;span  class="ljuser  i-ljuser  i-ljuser-type-P     "  data-ljuser="olgzz" lj:user="olgzz" &gt;&lt;a href="https://olgzz.livejournal.com/profile/"  target="_self"  class="i-ljuser-profile" &gt;&lt;img  class="i-ljuser-userhead"  src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/userinfo_v8.png?v=17080&amp;v=923.1" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="https://olgzz.livejournal.com/" class="i-ljuser-username"   target="_self"   &gt;&lt;b&gt;olgzz&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; and she had a brilliant time too. I'm so glad, especially since for a while there I didn't think I'd find anyone to go with! Gotta say man, people have lousy taste in music if they don't like the Simon. *shakes head* Just wish my dad would have been able to come, he loves Paul Simon as much as I do. If not more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh and how cool is this &lt;span  class="ljuser  i-ljuser  i-ljuser-type-C     "  data-ljuser="livelongnmarry" lj:user="livelongnmarry" &gt;&lt;a href="https://livelongnmarry.livejournal.com/profile/"  target="_self"  class="i-ljuser-profile" &gt;&lt;img  class="i-ljuser-userhead"  src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/community.png?v=556&amp;v=923.1" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="https://livelongnmarry.livejournal.com/" class="i-ljuser-username"   target="_self"   &gt;&lt;b&gt;livelongnmarry&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; comm? Everyone should check it out and bid on stuff. California is seriously fucked up. Seriously. Did you know that gay people in Iceland can get legally married in -church- now? GET WITH THE TIMES, ARNOLD.</content>

    <content type="html">I hate olives. My cousin used to hate olives, but then he ate a whole jar of them, just ate and ate and ate until he liked them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wish it was that easy with other things. Like het! Reading or watching het is an unpleasant experience for me. I don't like it, not one bit. If God had meant for men and women to be together, he would have given them both penises. Mmkay? But there's so much POTENTIAL there. So many interesting pairings, so many great women to PB. It would open up a whole new world to me. And I wouldn't be squicked over movies and TV shows half as much, 'cause all the het wouldn't be icky anymore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess the same goes for f/f. I'm not -as- squicked by that as I am by het, but it doesn't interest me. WHY can't I just like everything? Why am I this 100% m/m slasher? It's so LIMITING. And if there's anything I hate it's having limited interests.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Late night rambling and woe-is-me'ing. Also does anyone read my journal anymore? I never get comments. It doesn't even seem to matter if I post about RL or random crap or a fear meme or a "This is my life right now" meme, nada. I'm not exactly a comment whore but I'm getting paranoid. Am I -that- boring or irritating or something? I am puzzled. Please don't see this as some sort of plea/demand for comments, I'm just wondering. I mean, a few dozen active journals are listed as watching my journal. Is it 'cause I'm not that good at commenting? Could be. Tit for tat. But I swear I comment a lot more than I receive, so there! I'm not that bad!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm hungry. Paul Simon concert tomorrow. Wuiiii.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh I just got hit by the salmon bot and the person was SO rude. They had this huge black font so I bet they're like, a teenager. Ewwwww.</content>

Splinters freak me OUT.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I didn't go to bed 'til, well, really early this morning and I got up at like half past six pm. That's so annoying. Another thing that's annoying is that I can't get into WoW. I have like nothing to do except watch some more Monk. I love Monk and all but I wanted to play some WoW, damnit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also have no money for food and my body is CRAVING meat.

    <content type="html">Þetta er alveg þvílík bjartsýni en ég var að vona að kannski vildi einhver hér koma með mér á Paul Simon tónleikana 1. júlí? Ég keypti tvo miða af því að ég var alveg viss um að einhver af vinum mínum myndi vilja fara, en svo er ekki. Þannig að núna er ég með einn aukamiða og engan til að fara með! Það liggur ekkert á að borga mér fyrir miðann, mig bara langar ekki til að fara ein og að aukamiðinn fari til einskis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Endilega látið mig vita ef einhver vill skella sér með mér.</content>

    <lj:music>cat licking itself....noisily</lj:music>
    <content type="html">I got this meme from &lt;span  class="ljuser  i-ljuser  i-ljuser-type-P     "  data-ljuser="crazylike_afox" lj:user="crazylike_afox" &gt;&lt;a href="https://crazylike-afox.livejournal.com/profile/"  target="_self"  class="i-ljuser-profile" &gt;&lt;img  class="i-ljuser-userhead"  src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/userinfo_v8.png?v=17080&amp;v=923.1" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="https://crazylike-afox.livejournal.com/" class="i-ljuser-username"   target="_self"   &gt;&lt;b&gt;crazylike_afox&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; and I thought it seemed like a cool idea. I'm so bad at keeping track of everyone so please fill this out!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;You know how sometimes people on your friend's list post about stuff going on in their life, and all of a sudden you think "Wait a minute? Since when are they working THERE? Since when are they dating HIM/HER? since when???" And then you wonder how you could have missed all that seemingly pretty standard information, but somehow you feel too ashamed to ask for clarification because it seems like info you *should* already know? It happens to all of us sometimes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please copy mine below, erase my answers putting yours in their place then post it in your journal! Please elaborate on the questions that would benefit from elaboration! One-Word-Answers seldom help anyone out :)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;1. First Name:&lt;/b&gt; Eva, Eva Rán to be more precise. Only my dad and my favourite cousin call me Eva Rán though. Some call me Irda.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;2. Age:&lt;/b&gt; 26, turning 27 in August. On the 27th! Ho!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;3. Location:&lt;/b&gt; Seltjarnarnes, Iceland. It takes approximately two minutes for me to walk to Reykjavík so don't worry, I'm not in the middle of nowhere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;4. Occupation:&lt;/b&gt; Aumingi á launum. I'm on disability benefits so I get paid for being a shut-in and overall loser.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;5. Partner?:&lt;/b&gt; Hahahaha. No.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;6. Kids:&lt;/b&gt; I see my own nephew like four times a year. Like hell I'd have a brood of my own, I can't even take care of my cat properly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;7. Brothers/Sisters:&lt;/b&gt; I have a brother who's 33 and a sister who's 32. My brother lives here in Iceland with his lovely wife and son, my sister lives in London with her boyfriend. She runs a shop called Beyond the Valley, right next to Carnaby Street. My brother works with troubled teens and competes in strong man competitions. My siblings are SO much cooler than me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;8. Pets:&lt;/b&gt; An epic kitteh, Monsa. Right now she is cone kitty, but just as adorable. All wish her a speedy recovery!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;9. List the 3-5 biggest things going on in your life:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;a) My cat's surgery. She's my first ever pet so it's all new and terrifying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;b) Maybe moving to London later this year. That's gonna be a huge thing, I've never actually lived abroad. And I'll be away from Monsa which is the worst part of all. She'll be so pissed when I leave.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;c) Trying to change my lifestyle. I've been working on my diet and I bought a swimsuit but I still haven't gone swimming. I mean the pool is like right next door and I get in free, what am I waiting for? I actually -like- swimming and public showers don't scare me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;d) RP! &lt;span  class="ljuser  i-ljuser  i-ljuser-type-P     "  data-ljuser="sanspantalons" lj:user="sanspantalons" &gt;&lt;a href="https://sanspantalons.livejournal.com/profile/"  target="_self"  class="i-ljuser-profile" &gt;&lt;img  class="i-ljuser-userhead"  src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/userinfo_v8.png?v=17080&amp;v=923.1" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="https://sanspantalons.livejournal.com/" class="i-ljuser-username"   target="_self"   &gt;&lt;b&gt;sanspantalons&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a class="i-ljuser-badge i-ljuser-badge--pro" data-badge-type="pro" data-placement="bottom" data-pro-badge data-pro-badge-type="1" data-is-raw hidden href="#"&gt;&lt;span class="i-ljuser-badge__icon"&gt;&lt;svg class="svgicon" width="25" height="16" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 33 24"&gt;&lt;path fill-rule="evenodd" d="M19.326 11.95c0 2.01 1.47 3.45 3.48 3.45 2.02 0 3.49-1.44 3.49-3.45 0-2.01-1.47-3.45-3.49-3.45-2.01 0-3.48 1.44-3.48 3.45Zm5.51 0c0 1.24-.8 2.19-2.03 2.19-1.23 0-2.02-.95-2.02-2.19 0-1.25.79-2.19 2.02-2.19s2.03.94 2.03 2.19ZM7.92 15.28H6.5V8.61h3.12c1.45 0 2.24.98 2.24 2.15 0 1.16-.8 2.15-2.24 2.15h-1.7v2.37Zm1.51-3.62c.56 0 .98-.35.98-.9 0-.56-.42-.9-.98-.9H7.92v1.8h1.51ZM18.3802 15.28h-1.63l-1.31-2.37h-1.04v2.37h-1.42V8.61h3.12c1.39 0 2.24.91 2.24 2.15 0 1.18-.74 1.81-1.46 1.98l1.5 2.54Zm-2.49-3.62c.57 0 1-.34 1-.9s-.43-.9-1-.9h-1.49v1.8h1.49Z" clip-rule="evenodd"/&gt;&lt;path fill-rule="evenodd" d="M2 8c0-2.20914 1.79086-4 4-4h20.5c2.2091 0 4 1.79086 4 4v7.9c0 2.2091-1.7909 4-4 4H6c-2.20914 0-4-1.7909-4-4V8Zm4-2.5h20.5C27.8807 5.5 29 6.61929 29 8v7.9c0 1.3807-1.1193 2.5-2.5 2.5H6c-1.38071 0-2.5-1.1193-2.5-2.5V8c0-1.38071 1.11929-2.5 2.5-2.5Z" clip-rule="evenodd"/&gt;&lt;/svg&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; and I are trying to get some Arr Pee done every day, which is quite a big project for me.

    <content type="html">So, a Monsa update. She got home on Friday and was in a terrible state. She was unhappy and drugged and miserable, and it was awful just to watch her go through it, so we called the vet and she told us to bring her back. Thankfully the vet offered us to have Monsa stay at the hospital overnight. I'm not kidding or exaggerating when I say that I wouldn't have been able to take care of her. It's exactly what I was worried about when I first got her, I am in no state to take care of -anyone-, not even an animal. I just barely brush my own teeth for f's sake.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Saturday we got her home again and she was SO much better. She just has her cone now, on Friday she had this bandage thing which was the main reason for her extreme discomfort, the cone is nothing compared to that. She's eating and drinking and using the litterbox, she even cleans what little of herself she can reach, so I'm sure she's on the mend. There are approximately 24 stitches on her bald belly. I don't even know a human who's had that many stitches done at once! I'm just so glad she's better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh and randomly, a favour: Could those of an icon persuasion go and vote &lt;a href="http://community.livejournal.com/snape_lims/32390.html?mode=reply" target="_blank"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;? Yes I'm taking part and no you can't know which ones are mine. =P Thanks!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OMG today in WoW we downed Teron Gorefiend, and it was just our second time attempting him! Couple of wipes and then BAM! He was dead. I think we only managed it 'cause I wasn't turned into a ghost. I just know I'm gonna suck at it. x_x But woooo! I also got my dagger from the badge vendor AND a new shiny offhand. I have way too much +hit now so I'll have to regem some stuff. Fully buffed I hit +1300 dmg. YE BABY.</content>

    <content type="html">Monsa is coming home very soon. They had to cut her open from head to tail, so she's quite the mess poor thing. She needs to take three pills a day, which will be an adventure. I'll have to play nurse and pamper her, which will be no problem, but I'm wondering how she'll deal with going to her litterbox and such. Man, I've never dealt with stuff like this before, and as it is I can barely take care of myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wish me luck? Any tips?</content>

    <content type="html">I'm a spammer omg. GNCP means Gratuitous Name Change Post, and I may have made that up. How d'you like my new name? :D Nice and short. Like me!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm on a name change kick, I also renamed my main character in World of Warcraft. It used to be Fagur. Which is just a stupid, random name I came up with all those eons ago when I created him. It's Icelandic and means 'fair' as in pretty (meant to be ironic since he's basically a zombie), and I didn't even notice that the first three letters were Fag. Now I like fags, I don't take it as an insult when people call me Fag. But I just never felt attached to the name. So instead, I chose &lt;u&gt;Arcuballis&lt;/u&gt;. I realise that almost has 'balls' in it, but I like it SO much better. It's from a Dragonlance trilogy I love, and I think it's such a cool name.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Arcuballis was actually a gryphon, but that's neither here nor there.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bed now!</content>

    <content type="html">I took &lt;a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/irdamajere/monsa-1.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;Monsa&lt;/a&gt; to the vet today to take a look at some lumps she has on her belly. Turns out there's a 90% chance they're cancerous so she has to go in next week for an operation to have them removed. There's only two at the moment that the vet could find, but there might be some more that haven't been detected yet. There's a good chance she'll come out of this just fine, but if it's spread to her lungs then it's hopeless. There's also a chance that after these tumours are removed that more will pop up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm just keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for the best, and preparing for the worst. I mean she's only 9 and frisky as ever, so odds are everything will go well. Keep your thoughts and/or prayers with my kitty, will you? Thanks.</content>
