I moved out of my old property almost two calendar months ago and have yet to receive the full deposit back, plus the landlord owes me over £200 for electricity. He hasn't been responding to contact from me or Mr8 and I've just had confirmation that our deposit wasn't protected. By law, landlords and letting agents have to do this and if they don't they could be ordered to repay up to three times the original amount of the deposit to the tenant. I'm giving him until Wednesday to respond to my most recent contact however if no response is forthcoming we'll send him a very clear letter stating that he can either pay us what he owes or we'll pursue it legally.

We're still waiting on the return of our deposit from our old flat. We moved out in January but only got the final bit of info they needed to them at the end of April. Still, it's been over a month - we should've had the check by now.

My town is having a big 350th anniversary celebration this weekend. Yesterday, there was a huge parade down the main street. I was there watching it with my mom and my mom's friends. Suddenly, one of the clowns in the parade broke off from his group and ran up to me. He stopped right in front of my face and said, "Are you afraid of clowns?" It was so random. I said "No, I'm not." He stood there for a minute, staring at me in a really creepy way, and then said, "Are you suuure?" I wasn't sure at all at that point, but I said yes. He said "alright," handed me his card, and walked back into the parade.

It as really really strange. I have no idea why he singled me out like that. If I did have a clown phobia, I would have been shitting myself!

^Random.

My new roommate and I (we basically BFFLs and we've only known each other a week and a half) decided to start doing a drunk advice youtube show. Send us your advice! We did the first video last night.

eta: it's in a similar vein to pot psychology or my drunk kitchen.

I love yous! So cute!

awww! thanks! We have fun.

Yes! cuteness in spades!

Chimamanda Adichie, Nigerian writer: "I've always felt that it is impossible to engage properly with a place or a person without engaging with all of the stories of that place and that person. The consequence of the single story is this: it robs people of dignity. It makes our recognition of our equal humanity difficult. It emphasizes how we are different rather than how we are similar."

He wants to date you?

Don't want to go to work tomorrow :/

What the hell?

I don't know you guys. I don't think I ever want to see a clown again, though.

There was a huge rowdy party going on one street over all day. They had a whole sound system set up outside, and they had it turned up so loud that even in my room with the windows closed and ac on, I could still clearly hear the music. It sounded like there was a stereo inside my house playing at full volume, and this was from one street away. They apparently hired buses and bussed tons of people in, and they also had cars parked all over the street, completely blocking access. We eventually called the cops because the music was too loud to even watch tv in our house. The cops went out and told them to turn the music down and move the cars that were blocking the road. So they turned the music down, then turned it up again after the cops left. And when they moved the cars, they moved them to block other people's driveways, so then neighbours were calling the police saying they couldn't even get out of their own driveways. The cops went out a second time and told them to turn the music down again and that they couldn't block other people's driveways, and that if they had to go out one more time, they would shut the party down. Do you think the people listened? Nope. The cops had to shut it down. Even after that, the people stayed outside shouting at each other for a good while. I just don't understand how people can be so entirely inconsiderate.

I mean the following in the least porn-y way possible: does anyone want to hang out with me via video while I carve a lino block? It's 12:30 am and I just want someone to hang out with me.


I asked a friend and she thought I was spam :(

this is sort of an impromptu call for a ppkchat:video edition!

I'm home alone with the cats for 2 days. Excellent crazy cat lady practice.

It is the night before my last full day of the school year, and I ought to be going to sleep, but instead I'm sitting on the internet, looking at Doctor Who episode lists as I try to decide whether I think Russell T. Davies or Stephen Moffatt wrote better episodes.

I have an exam tomorrow and I'm really scared.

Oh man, I know JUST what you're talking about! This has always been a struggle for me. I LOVE Russell T. Davies but I went back to look and most of my favorite episodes were written by Moffatt, and this is still when Davies was doing Doctor Who. I came to the conclusion that I think Moffatt does the best single episodes and Davies does the best story arcs.

A couple of my friends said the same thing. It was also pointed out to me that Davies is better with large scale, planet-wide action, while Moffatt tends to be really character-driven, so Moffatt's episodes tend to be more emotional and more likely to break your heart, which I do believe is true.

I think Moffatt's episodes tend to be my favorites, but I like Davies' episodes for getting people hooked because they are so exciting.

I was in the laundromat waiting for my clothes to dry when a woman came in, washed her hands in a puddle on the floor of the laundromat, and then proceeded to take her clean clothes out of the dryer and fold them.

One thing is simultaneously the best and worst thing about my day. Sigh. Bittersweet.

My dad just got a new computer. "What does this mean? Can you fix this? I think I broke something. How do you get on the internet? What's a browser? I don't understand this." Aaaaaargh.

I had to try to explain what a browser is to my dad this weekend! Many wishes for patience. I actually had to cut him off last night as he read his email to me asking what he should delete. "Dad, I love you, but I really want to go to bed."

I laughed so so hard at this!

Good Luck!

I have an exam too, but I will fail cause I basically didn't do any of the required homework for it.
Too often too tired to do that after a day at the office, which is the reason I signed up for the course.
