h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

So! I've got bizarrely limited internet access right now. This is because our modem is broken I believe. The delay is mainly due to dad growling about not wanting to buy a new one. Therefore I am not currently able to keep up in:

So I thought I would advertise them so that y'all would go and replace me for a while. There's also StarGate Command A3212605 but you don't have to replace me there

I'm also getting ready for school. Trust me to only just realise that if I'm doing maths then a graphic calculator and a geometry set might just be a good idea!
I hate the bit where you have to buy folders and paper and make sure you've got pens and your fountain pen hasn't suddenly rebelled or anything and you've been forced into buying new shoes (admittedly only a pair of blue Keds for £7 but still!) and...your mother lies in bed and completely agrees when you go to her to complain that school is "a right b*gger"

It may be a "right b*gger," but it's got to be done!

At least, that's what I keep telling myself...

Let me know if Major Kat has to go on holiday

Come back soon, I know what a pain it is when your modem goes up

I do have a spare USB modem, if you want it Kat. Can't do broadband, so I don't need it; just let me know if it would be any good to you

I've now got a rather temperamental dial-up connection and am working on getting a new modem. So you'll notice me popping up in a few places and gradually....unsubscribing from threads

You use a fountain pen? Super cool... I thought I was the only person out there who still used one.

I use a faountain pen too, I've got two

Fountain pens are

I've always liked using them

So did I - but nowadays, I seldom write a real letter, so they're always dried out when I need them. Can't count how many I've bought for the boys, they kill them in no time.

I've had to change the cartrege on both mine

I use a fountain pen all the time at school, so I go through a cartridge every week or so. They're pretty inexpensive, though - you can get them at craft stores and the like.

When I get into one of my really weird moods I bring a dip pen and inkwell to school, though that method is prone to spillages. I once cut a quill pen, but I didn't have a very sharp knife and so it turned out rather bad.

Yay Kat sighting!

I have been gone ,then got another computer, so I am spending a lot of time unsubbing also.

Okay here I go......I'm off to school in an hour.

If I'm not back by tomorrow I've got lost on the way...

Kat, hope it all went well!
