Does anyone else have those moments of sheer lunacy when they're sitting in a meeting and say something that seems like a good idea at the time but actually just winds you up with a load of funny looks and chairs being shuffled not so subtly away?

Or when something pops into your head and out your mouth before you can stop it? Thought snot.

Sneezes.

How about when you're just sitting quietly minding your own business and something funny occurs to you and before you know it you're in hysterics and once more your colleagues are staring at you in horror...

Its not just me is it?

Race for Life

2009-05-07T13:56:11Z

You'll be glad (or indifferent) to know that I managed to hit my target of £100 raised for Cancer research UK and completed the Race for Life Sunday past. I'm not sure how much the girls raised together but I believe it to be in the region of £150-200 but shall have a more accurate figure after the next meeting for those of you who are interested.

In other news. Wedding stuff - still going, house - forms forms forms, work - still have a job

Life = Good
Work = Bad
If Work(time) > Life(time) then Kaz(mood) = Stompy.

Raaaargh.

Great Scott!

2 posts in 2 months! "What on earth is going on?!" I hear you cry. Well I shall put you out of your misery and tell you. Quite frankly, I'm only here because I want your money! Thats right all of it, just put it in the bag, back away slowly and tie your wrists with these zip ties..no? Ok so moving swiftly on...

In the coming months I shall be running the Race for Life with the Norwich St Albans 23rd Girl Guides and I'm asking you lovely people out there to dig into your pockets and sponsor myself and the girls. Because if I'm going to be dragged into running 5k with 20 shrieking teenagers I'm not going to be doing it for free...

But seriously, its for a good cause. I'm sure everyone out there reading this knows someone who has either had cancer, has cancer or has been adversely affected by cancer. My godfather is fighting it as I type, so please, it doesn't matter how much, just show a little support. Mug your colleagues and get them to show some support, mug your families and friends..hell mug the back of your sofa cushions because, as that irritating woman in the Tescos ads says, "every little helps"

I'll nag no more,

Still here

Soo yeah..hi. Still alive and stuff for anyone that still bothers checking this what with my incredibly slack postings.

Got marriage date/venue/dress n whatnot with minimal fuss but I shalln't bore people with details. Suffice to say invites shall be going out to the family over the next few months/as soon as I pull my finger out and get em sorted.

Buying a house, see mchicago and his numerous pictures. If you want more images you'll have to ask him more questions :D

Got an iPhone which I'm currently posting from, rather nifty though a bit yupiesque but Ive found some useful molecule manipulation and periodic table programs linked to an all you need to know chemical data reference program, which make me feel less dirty.

Uhh that's about it really, recovered from appendicitis, still have that chemical analyst job, still haven't won the lottery or blown myself up.

Bye then :)

Not as uncultured as I like to think I am it seems...or maybe I am since I was forced to read and hated a large portion of them. Damn school English lessons, why don't they let you read decent books?

I strongly object to some absolute legends being missed off there. Wheres R. Feist, D. Eddings or even T. Goodkind not to mention Rob Grant and his absolutely hysterical "Incompetence" now those are good books. Not that absolute load of tosh they make you read in school or you're compelled to read in order to become a "cultured well rounded individual"

By choice I wouldn't have read a single one of those books short of Hitchhikers. Isn't reading supposed to be an enjoyable recreational passtime? So why bog yourself down in that load of antiquated rubbish. Bring on the trashy novels! and bring on the flames and disowning by mchicago

Jeeeeese. H. You-know-who on a unicycle that bloomin' hurt (*awaits lightening blot striking her down*)

Well given the way my lucks been going I'm sure I can be excused for the blaspheming, I like to think its all of my piss poor Maltby luck deserting me before I join the lucky ranks of the Taylors.

See mchicago for various details on what precisely hurt. I'm off to take more pain meds.

Thank you all for your kind concern and well wishings, I am on the road to recovery and shall be drinking your tea again soon.

1. What bill do you hate paying the most?
Council tax. Thus far I've not seen anything they've done that merits the copious amounts of my hard earned money they steal from me.

2. Where was the last place you had a romantic dinner?
I don't remember.

3. Do you regret losing your virginity to who you lost it to?
Not in the slightest.

4. If you could go back and change one thing what would it be?
I regret a lot but I woudn't change it. Was asked the same question recently, reeling off the "i'd do this this and this.." made me think and ultimately decide I really wouldn't bother.

5. Name of your first grade teacher?
I don't remember.

6. What do you really want to be doing right now?
Reading a book at the fort.

7. What did you want to be when you were growing up?
A research scientist..and lo and behold I am..just not in my chosen field.

8. How many colleges did you attend?
College? 2 Yrs 6th form at the grammar school and 4 years uni at UEA.

9. Why did you choose the shirt that you have on right now?
My sister got me it for a birthday or chirstmas..i forget which. Twas on the top of the washing pile

10. What are your thoughts on gas prices?
Hmm "well we charge them to eat, drink, remove rubbish, for a roof over their heads, to keep themselves covered, to educate themselves so ultimately we can take yet MORE money off them...lets see..what else can we rip them off for? OH! I know! I've got it! lets charge them more to keep from freezing to death!"

11. First thought when the alarm went off this morning?
"Oh god, not again"

12. Last thought before going to sleep last night?
Ahh shit, work tomorrow? What day is it? Ah wednesday, oh well only 2 more days.

13. Do you miss being a child?
Yup.

Tigger

18. Favorite thing to do at night with a member of the opposite sex?
Beat the pants off them at Guitar Heroes, alas James is better than me.

I don't, I'm just a kid trapped in an adults body doing my best to behave like a grown up.

21. What do you get every time you go into Wal-Mart?
Mmmm Ice Tea.

22. Beach or lake?
Depends on the size of your boat.

23. Do you think marriage is an outdated ritual?
No, I think its a legally and financially sensible contract, quite aside from being a nice way to express commitment. And a great way to stop the government nicking all that's yours from your partner should you die.

24. Do you own property?
Can't afford it for at least another 60 years the way prices are.

25. Favorite guilty pleasure?
Chocolate, a Mills and Boon and a nice LUSH bath.

28. What radio station is your car radio tuned to right now?
Radio 1 I believe unless James has changed it, I've been listening to a CD all week.

Hmm...shouldn't have hugged my sister before I left after christmas..the little puke'll get ideas and start asking for money.

Yup, he's almost as old as I am and very well travelled.

35. Do you go to church?
Not for a long time.

New career or rather, same career different speciality..

37. How old are you?
Apparently I'm 23 though I thought I was 22 for a long time but it seems I've missed a year someplace and am actually 23 and 4 months or some such.

To let everyone know I'm still alive and have found my livejournal account again.

Oh come on now was that really necessary?

2007-05-03T14:04:08Z

Proffy M is attempting to arrange my project viva for 11th may. My first exam is Protein Engineering on the 14th followed by Drug Development 21st, Organic Compounds 23rd, Protein Structure and Chemistry 25th, Advanced Cell Biology 1st June and Cellular Signaling on the 4th.

The marvelous Loucifer, oldballnchain, has finally taken leave of her senses and is getting married on the 5th and in celebration I'm getting stuffed into a dress *sulks*. Congrats to her for sure and see you at the reception.

I'm figuring mental breakdown around the 27th May giving me time to recover for the last 2 exams. As of the 4th June I'm free!..free to look for a job anyway *sigh* Is this really all there is to life? Because quite frankly I'm disappointed and I'd like to lodge a formal complaint.

In other news Wake. Study. Eat. Study. Eat. Study. WoW. Read. Sleep. Rinse and repeat. Theres a fair amount of avoidance of studying going on too, much like now. Can't really get my skirts blown up about Organic chemistry..call me crazy but its just not happening.

Good news is its House tonight from 9. *glee*

Tired.

2007-04-25T15:37:56Z

See mchicago for details on his birthday shindig. If all goes pear shaped he arranged it so its not my fault.

"accidental" loss of life will occur if anyone sets light to my back yard.

Handed dissertation in 42 pages including appendices, references and index. Just waiting for the viva then its 6 exams between me and freedom. Times like this I wish I was an arts student. My flatmates other half has a sum total of 1 exam..which he has at the beginning of the exam period. He finishes before I start. Considering inviting all the arts students to a "study session" in the library then burning it down..with the added bonus that alledgedly if the library burns down within a month of finals everyone gets 2:1's. But then to be fair, what self respecting arts student would show up to a study session.

*ducks flying shoes*

Yeah yeah hate me all you want you know its true. 1 exam!...bastards.

Thats enough of my stereotyping, i need a cup of tea to fortify myself for some gardening.

Don't worry, I'm just a figment of your imagination you sick fuck you.

Borefest - ISTJ
40% Extraversion, 46% Intuition, 53% Thinking, 53% Judging

One word. Boring. Sums you up to a tee. You're responsible, trustworthy, serious and down to earth. Boring. Boring. Boring.

You play by the rules. You follow tradition. You encourage structure.

You insist that EVERYBODY do EVERYTHING by the book. Seriously, is there even an ounce of imagination in that little brain of yours? I mean, what's the point of imagination, right? It has no practical value...

As far as you're concerned, abstract theories can go screw themselves. You just want the facts, all the facts and nothing but the facts.

Oh. And you're a perfectionist. About everything. You know that the previous sentence was gramattically incorrect and that "gramattically" was spelt wrong. Your financial records are correct to 25 decimal places and your bedroom is in pristine condition. In fact, you even don't sleep on your bed anymore for fear that you might crease the sheets.

Thankfully, you don't have anyone else to share the bed with, because you're uncomfortable expressing affection and emotion to others. Too bad.

...ooooooooooooo...!!eleven!1!

Gah..GAH! Just had a coursetest on the top floor of CMP..10 o clock on a Friday morning? What the hell were they thinking? That I could just about take but I stood for 30 minutes at the bus stop before 2 buses came along making me 5 minutes late followed by the sprint from the bus stop to CMP then up 6 or so flights of stairs making me 5 more minutes late and an asthmatic wheezy mess. Busses every 10 minutes?! HA! By jiggery someone shall pay for this and it's not just going to be my score! Its just as well its not a negative marking test or I'd be in the minus numbers..bastards *muttering unbecoming a lady*..twatting arseholes.

Not happy.

Meeting at 12, a lecture at 1 then I think I might take a little bit of time out of my day to head on down to First Bus head quarters...with a flamethrower. Might make me late for the train though and I fear mchicago wouldn't stick around whilst I did my jailtime...which I'd do gladly at this point, useless pusnuggets. His parents certainly wouldn't approve..think mine would though.

*stomp*

I can't actually remember when I last did a post detailing what I've been upto but needless to say its been a while. So, what have I done...uhhh not a lot actually..watched many cool movies, and many crap ones. Finished the project from hell, well kindda.

My profs not entirely sure whether I'm supposed to write the report or he is, he thinks its him and has told me not to worry about it so i'm expecting an email anytime sayin "by the way the write ups yours and its due in first of november" Thanks!

Handed in some coursework and taken a coursetest (84.6% - rocking the Protein Structure and Chemistry) I dont actually have many hours a week this sememster in theory. Have 3 modules at the moment, the afforementioned PS&C as well as Organic Compounds Properties and Synthesis (more organic chem ohgod!) and Cellular Signalling (mmhow many students can you send to sleep in 50 minutes?) which total upto around 7 hours lectures, 3 hours seminars and no labs yet. That and the 12 hours a week i'm expected to spend on research project and its a fairly reasonable 22hrs a week *grin* at least it is until you factor in that i wind up spending around 23 hrs a week in lab for my project..and i dont even know what it is! Plus I'm expected to spend an additional 37 hours a week in private study and reading. So around 70 hours a week if they've not put additional lectures on and I leave the lab when I'm supposed to be out of the building instead of getting one of the research workers to let me out. Leaves me with around 14 hours a day to play with..or you know..sleep and eat. Does anyone seriously do that reading?

Been home, come back, had a hair cut, gotten older..speaking of which my little sisters' going to be 18 next month how old does that make me feel?! had renticle visit, been for drinks, had my ass handed to me at pool, wowed, inadvertantly caused a miniwowwar, read a lot, made pumpkins :D, been to le cinema, slept lots, been to yorkshire and met J's relatives...though i'm not sure whether i've posted about that already. I dunno, my days are bleeding into one giant memory and i can't distinguish what happened when anymore but thats stuff anyway.

Thanks to people for coming to birthday thing, i realise its horrendously late but I've been kindda busy. So uhh thanks, specially to mchicago for arrangement fu, also sommitrealweird and nimhling who travelled far to make it. And to beccus who i'm pretty sure must have had a hand in the arrangement...not that J's not fully capable its just there were no technical hitches..sorry dear.

Umm yeah thats probably about it, I bet theres something else I'm forgetting but ahwell who cares anyway? No one really reads these update on what i'm doing type things anywho...i can type anything I want down here cos you all gave up around the uni waffle..kumquats, fishy kumquats, with chocolate sauce and gherkins. Master chef me...i live in your eyes! Gotta love Bill Bailey.

Mmmm well bye then,

Kaz

P.S Still alive.

Oh well..

The catagories are Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness to Experience, Agreeableness and Conscienciousness..though why they're not showing up on my pooter I dont know is just silly.

In other new I'm going home *grin* Not for long though, some thing with Mr J's workmates then back home for sleep on friday and possibly saturday night though its lookin unlikely. Still haven't heard from Professor as to when I can go home proper and sort stuff.

Speaking of which I'd better get my arse in gear and packed and stuff.

Woo!

I'm still very much alive I'm afraid, been working my tiny little socks off in labs and goo like that. Now have a most awesome timesaver in the form of http://www.imenlabs.org.uk/kazchemistry/ curteosy of Mr J thank you so so sooooo much for that. If you don't know what a fluorimeter is and don't use ".sp" files I suggest you dont bother with that link...

This one however http://www.the-ba.net/the-ba/Events/FestivalofScience/ EVERYONE should look at because its science and its fantastic! There seems to be something for pretty much everyone...even the lowly data mining geeks ;) The BA festival of science baby yeah! (Peabs if you're reading this and are still off school then you can come crash here and go to the food tech related events if you wish) Lots of cool looking genetics and medicine...oh and genetic medicine stuff on too *grin* Tis from the 2-9th September so ya know...go lookski and learn something you lazy arse *bounce*

Ummm that might be about it really, had a couple of killer days in lab recently but I'm trying to forget them. My FRET effect is still missing, the growup of the two cysteine mutants failed first time causing me to have to spend two very very long days stuck in a smelly lab and we realised I hadn't done the Im9 testing in 8M urea with a crowding agent so i spent a stupid number of hours doing that. But I'm not going to bore you anymore with that junk, mostly because I'm off to get me some food.

I HATE the smell of bacteria in the morning.

Kaz

And rest.

~~Claim Your Wings - Pics and Long Answers~~

Your wings are DRAGON wings. Massive and covered in scales, they shimmer with strength and magic. They are the most obvious display of your power - though it runs equally throughout your heart and mind. You are uncompromising and grave, with a profound sense of justice. You have firm ideas about what is right and what is wrong and set out to fix what problems you can. You realize that you are more capable of dealing with life and evil than most, and as such you see it as your responsibility to protect those who cannot defend themselves. You have existed since antiquity and as such you are wise far beyond your years in this lifetime. While you strive for fairness and peace, if someone should steal from your cave of treasure (though not all that glitters is gold) or compromise the happiness of you or one who is close to you - they have signed their death warrant. You have a mighty vengeance and will unleash it upon such people immediately and mercilessly. Arguing with you is useless...you rarely back down and are known for holding firm in your beliefs. Sometimes you feel intensely burdened with the troubles of others...acting as a Guardian can get so wearisome. But you never give up...you see it as your life's mission. Often very introverted, you can be so smart...it's scary. Such a combination of intelligence, creativity, power, beauty, and magic is often intimidating to those around you - who are also unlikely to understand you. Arrogant, proud, overserious, and sometimes a bit greedy or obsessed with whatever treasure you choose to pursue...you have enchanted people for centuries, and will continue to do so.Image Source:http://www.ai.mit.edu/people/pkamvyss/www/album/art/pictures/dragon.jpg

Wow thats a lot of rain.

Am rather bored waiting for my files to transfer across to new pooter. Must work but can't until its finished pratting about.

Why do fantasy/sci-fi writers always feel the need to give their characters names for which they would be eternally mocked in the real world? Honestly..Sparhawk..what were his parents thinking?

I seem to have managed to lose both my application for vacational scholorship forms AND my journal doodad with all the dates I have to remember in, so its highly likely that I'm just going to keep showing up for work long after I have to. Bugger.

Mmm, need to swap my address across too. My goodness it just never ends ;)

In the news of other not much really. I'm still alive, still doing that research project doohicky, still in Narch.

Went to Rawkus on Saturday which was fun, just wish I could remember a little more of it. Wasn't drunk, just unbelievably tired. One of those bizarre tirednesses that you don't actually realise you're feeling until you see a bed.

Thats about it for now since I'm due onto campus to transform some cells. Transformers! Bacteria in disguise.
