My life seems to be full of... erm... interesting occurrences at the moment. For starters, tonight was Guy Fawkes' night, meaning me & my youth group all walked down from the church to the local park to watch the pretty whizz-bangs. Of course, due to the fact that 12-15000 people turned up, which is about a quarter of Guildford's population (fact!), the town centre was pretty congested, and the firewrks were so disappointing to me that I spent the whole display thinking about what compounds turned the fireworks such pretty colours, and how much like a P-orbital some of them looked. Call me a loser, I proably am.
Something about bonfire night that I have noticed, however, is the fact that it seems to have been devised not around the tradition of remembering Guy Fawkes' plot to blow up Parliament,but just a rouse to scare all the cats in the country away for a good while. Speaking personally, due to the fact that I have a pet cat (who is none too bright, it has to be said) fireworks are particularly stressful because if you're holding the cat when they go off, you basically end up looking like you've just been through one of those paper-shredders. The problem's got worse this year, because a gew months ago we replaced the sofas in the front room, and because the new ones go straight down at the back there is no longer a space for the poor cat to hide in. Instead, she's taken to hiding behind the footstool (HOW she thinks this will help I do not know) and a few minutes ago in the bathroom she just crawled under the stool and curled up, even though it was quite obvious she wouldn;t fit in it. Bless.
Anyone heard of a game called "Gay Chicken"? No? Good, let's keep it that way. I'd rather not relive those mental images either. *Wince*
Another incident worth noting is the fact that someone who is reading this blog happened to have taken the wrong locker key from me. I now need my current key back or I can't get at my new calculator for mechanics tomorrow. You know who you are, you system-hacking Google-crashing lunatic (it's only a matter of time before you get bored of winding me up and need another hobby...)
