There's reason to celebrate, people. I have just officially squared off ALL my outstanding debt, and bought myself some cds I've wanted for an age. Misha is going to secure us some tickets to go see the Stereophonics in June, I've bought M his birthday present, and I am on the lookout for a new mobile phone and plan, as my current contract is OVER. Woo!

(saved here so I could watch the news)

I wrote a HUGE tirade about the Alvarez woman, wrongfully deported to the Philippines. Dad was on the news speaking about it, thus the title. Why was my dad on the news talking about the Alvarez bird? Well, she's my half-aunt, and I wrote a fair bit about my family that was quite (rightly so, IMHO) caustic. While I wouldn't normally pull something like this, I am doing it out of respect for my sister, who I love to pieces, whether she knows it or not. Not only that, but my parents would probably sue me for slander or something ridiculous.

If you want to read what I wrote, email me.
