I am still alive!

Wow, it's been so long since I actually posted a journal entry, I just though I should so people know I am still here... even though I don't have much to write about, I never tend to, which is why my blogs are usually few are far between.

I am feeling kinda hyper and giggly right now... I dunno why, maybe it's this delicious banana and strawberry smoothie I've been drinking all afternoon, so I just feel the need to type about anything.

I guess I could write about my birthday, which was a while ago, but I forgot to post a blog about it at the time, and it's about the only slightly interesting thing that's happened to me lately, so I might aswell do it now.

My mum made me a DELICIOUS vegan chocolate birthday cake, with vegan chocolate buttons on it, it was heavenly! ...I really should have taken a picture of it. I got a whole bunch of Doctor Who stuff, including a radio controlled Dalek and Cyberman, and TARDIS model, which lights up and makes noises. Heh, I am such a geek :P

Oooo! Also, I went to a Doctor Who exhibit in Cardiff, which was pretty awesome. It has this amazing life-sized Dalek which moved and talked and everything... was kinda creepy actually! Also stopped off at the Millennium Centre there to see where Torchwood was filmed. I've been to Cardiff many times, but that was before Torchwood, so it made it all the more exciting this time than ever before.

I've also got a new kitten, who I hope to post photos of sometime. I named her Cerys (after Cerys Matthews from Catatonia, it's also a Welsh name for Love)... and then I found out she is actually a he! Ah well, I'm gonna keep the name anyway, I've got used to it, and it suits him. Besides which I already have a female cat named James, and a female rat named Rick XD

Speaking of Welsh I have started trying to learn Welsh again. I have always wanted to learn Welsh, I tried once in my teen years, but ended up giving up after having too much other stuff to do. I recently found some free "Learn Welsh" podcasts on iTunes, so I've started again. Only on the 2nd lesson so far, but I'm in no rush.

Well, that's about all for now. I should post blogs more often... although I always say that, so I make no promises :P

Stay Beautiful,

Aissa.

If you want to learn Welsh try http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/catchphrase/thelloyds/lessons1.shtml or http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/catchphrase/catchphrase1/lessons1.shtml
They're both great. I started recently to learn it and I understand it very quick.

Good luck with the learning.

Oh great, thanks so much for those links, they're really gonna help. I've never been great at learning languages, so I need all the help I can get :P

Manic sorry it has taken me so long to reply to your comment on my blog! It's wonderful to see another vegan member of the community here. I haven't heard of that book but I will check it out.

Currently I am reading the Sexual Politics of Meat - which shows the intersection between feminism and vegetarianism, it's fascinating, I highly recommend!

That's no problem, thanks for the recommendation. I have read "The Pornography of Meat" by Carol Adams, I have not read "The Sexual Politics of Meat" yet though, but I'll be sure to check it out :)

I have not heard of the Pornography of Meat but the Sexual Politics of Meat is also written by Carol Adams.
