Hey, I'm back...Sort of...

I wasn't really gone to be honest but I have been less online lately and this is due to a few things which I'll explain.

First off it's summer so I've been enjoying the sun as most people are. Ooo my arms feel like they're on fire.

Second I lost interest of the same routine: Go on TWHL, Interlopers, check emails, go on MSN and other stuff I can't remember. So I just took a break from all this really.

Thirdly on Sunday last week me and my parents went to a cat shelter to adopt a new cat. It has been a year since our last cat died and we felt it was time for another. Only...We fell in love with two very special sisters who we think are pedigree...They have a tabby appearance but their main coat is sort of gold with many black bits. So now we?re getting two?

It was kind of sad to see these cats locked in although unlike most cat shelters this one had a sort of open area where the cats could walk around and sit outside (keep in mind it's all caged).

I went up to this really nice black cat who turned out to be 17 years old. S/he was very friendly and it upset me to see it stuck here. Rarely anyone wants an old cat so most likely it'll die there.

Anyway I have got to wait a week because a small cat infected the whole shelter so these two new cats called Roxy and Tia are being drugged and injected. Supposedly the previous owner was some tart who was evicted and couldn't keep them hence their names...Sort of Essex like XD

Lastly yesterday my Dad as per usual worked too hard on building our garden pond and ended up tripping on some stairs. He twisted his ankle and from what I heard, it sounded painful...Anyway he said his eye sight was going and he felt sick...He then passed out and my poor Mum thought the worse because my Dad's family has been known to have weak hearts at his age.

We called an ambulance and as we did he came back to consciousness and said he felt alright. It turns out he passed out from the pain but at the time myself and my Mum were none the wiser. We were very traumatised but everything is ok.

It's hard to believe something like this would happen to yourself because you see it on TV and hear about it but you never fully comprehend it happening to your own family...

Well that's my story really so far. I got a 3ds Max book to learn for my second year at university and my course results come in tomorrow. Apart from that I ended up reformatting my PC yet again as my NVIDIA driver corrupted and a system restore just didn't do much good so I opted for a fresh start and I'm glad because it's nice and fast again and clean.
