So, I was walking home today, and I see these kids who have laid out a long strip of white plastic on the embankment and made themselves a slip-and-slide. They're all laughing and having fun and there are some older kids watching and eating sandwiches. So I'm thinking how nice it is to see kids in South Leeds actually being kids and having fun and not stealing shit or breaking windows or getting pregnant or doing drugs. And then I get closer, and I realise that strip of plastic? It's the recruitment banner from outside the House of Gas.

HAH! Oh, my fellow Beestonites, while I deplore your vandalistic tendancies in general, I must applaud them in this one case.

And now, a meme:

A. List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself.
B. Tag seven people to do the same.
C. Do not tag the person who tagged you or say that you tag "whoever wants to do it."

Tagging: chibimarchy, imbeiaiel, snithy, alt-baie, ladydemando, ravenbell and incandescens.

Habits/Facts/Quirks of me...

1) Quirk: I used to be really ashamed that my middle name is Jayne with a Y. Then Firefly came out and Adam Baldwin made it awesome. So thank you Adam Baldwin!

2) Quirk: All my dinnerware is Halloween-themed and I use it all year long. I even have Halloween cutlery. Not just a holiday, it's a way of life!

3) Fact: Werewolves are cooler than vampires and could take vampires in a fight. With ease!

4) Fact: I have three brothers, two of whom are charming wastrels and the third who is a psycho-killer in the making.

5) Fact: I also have three rabbits, two of whom are dimmer than a five-watt lightbulb and the third who is a psycho-killer in the making.

6) Habit: when I'm thinking about something, I chew biros. When I'm really concentrating or something is stressing me out, I bite them so hard they crack and I get ink around my mouth.

7) Fact: I am wearing a pirate hat as I write this post. For no reason!

So, today I'm sat there watching Miracles (shut up, I am not obsessed with Skeet Ulrich, I have just... developed a slight appreciation for him that I didn't have before) and dudes. Dudes! The guy playing Alva Keel is that crazy government dude who tries to set up Batbale's character in Equilibrium - not the guy played by my least favourite smug fuckwit Taye Diggs, I mean the one who was Father's Voice but then actually it turned out he was the secret king all along! And then I was watching Scream (shut up!) and I got to thinking about who would win in a fight between Batbale and Skeet Ulrich, and okay, in a serial killin' contest, clearly Batbale, but if there really was an Apocalypse, Skeet would be all, fixin' tractors and putting out fires and saving the day using only SALT and JAMES REMAR, and Batbale would be all like, "Le fuck! The economy is destroyed and without my money I actually can't do anything!" and Skeet Ulrich would laugh and kick some radioactive Denver Dust in his face.

Also, Sheriff Constantino is such a beardy fucking retard. He's all like, oh no, George Hearst, you can't have Skeet Ulrich and your other loser son back, because I'm the Secret King of Kansas, and George Hearst is like, I think you should give me Skeet and Reject Son back, and Sheriff Constantino is like, I said no, and I'm like, FUCK YOU SHERIFF CONSTANTINO, IS GEORGE HEARST GONNA HAVE TO CHOP SOME FINGERS?! BECAUSE HE'S DONE IT TO BADDER BADASSES THAN YOU, MY BEARDY FRIEND! And then George Hearst is like, Tank! For you! In your face! and that's no more than he deserves.
