*hack, hack, wheeze*

Just a quick post before I go to sleep, mostly to apologize for not keeping up my usual posting habits, This is partially due to it being the end of a half-term at college, so of course this means that there's 4 assignments due in and 3 more to be set to do over the "holiday" week.

And partially because I've contracted the common cold, or perhaps swallowed a medium size die-cast train, that would explain how my throat feels right now!

Truth be told as far as colds go its pretty pathetic when it comes to the running nose, more of a light jog, or even a brisk walk! Sneeze wise this illness doesn't even try to compete I think I've sneezed twice, and I'm not even sure that was due to the cold (Sneezing in a chemistry lab that 16 year olds have been in isn't necessarily a sign of illness, people who think its amusing to press the emergency power cut button before leaving can certainly find ways to amuse themselves with poisonous chemicals)! But when it comes to sore throat, bring out the blue ribbon, there's no competition, this is the winner!

Listeners to the BRK podcast know I don't have a strong voice at the best of times, but right now I can't guarantee at any given hour whether I have a voice at all, I seem to be rotating in ability to speak, much to the amusement of everyone around me, and naturally with being unable to speak I've been unable to write this blog... because I use voice to text software... sure... that's a convincing enough excuse right?

So while were on my RL... its valentines day coming up, and I have big plans. Not romantic plans, well not really even my plans, more Danielle's plans truth be told, but plans and big.. well medium sized, about 8-9 foot, so bigger than me, but not bigger than both of us put together. I know its a cliche to say this on valentines day, but size isn't everything, so you can all stop being bogged down in the size of my plans!

So a couple of single women on valentines day are doing something very stereotypical, we're proving we don't need men by using power tools to build things, because that's the only thing men have ever proven useful for in the history of the universe, and lets face it women can do it better since we know how to measure and think!

I figure the BM rebuff will have gotten rid of half my readers, and this will have gotten rid of the male part that remained! Right, time to watch sex in the city and break out the strawberry flavoured drinks which are considerably more proof than the existence of god, and only slightly less proof than the existence of earth!

I'll try and remember to ask for some photos so I can show you all our dabbling with carpentry, I have to say considering my friends rather... direct approach to design (blue prints? I think I might have a sketch on a hanky somewhere...), its coming out very well.
