Union meetings are great because you're allowed to shout things and you get to vote on issues and then feel like you've actually made a contribution. And I got a free pen! Life doesn't get much better than that.

Saw the google news update of The Man Who Can't Be Named and saw gossi's post which made me spasm as I thought it was real. Divvy.

Well, it's Friday and so here is part 4 of the Writer's Block mini project..

If you knew it was your last day on earth, how would you spend the time?

Well that all depends, I mean, do you find out on the morning of that day or the week before or what? If I knew well in advance I would have an all day party where everyone had to do things I like. In fact, I would have a one day Kirsty Con, where I would subject everyone I knew to a lot of nonsense that only I (mostly) am into. Here is the programme of events :
