I'm sitting here in Slough, near Windsor and I'm working for a well-known and popular toy company.

I'm working for their customer service department and it's quite relaxed here. Still, things suck and I'm just glad I get paid for being bored most of the time.

I'm hungry. <_<

Yeah, we had rice today, in a wrap with tuna, tomatoes, cucumber and basil pesto. Hmmmmmmmm.

Also I finally managed to make biscuits. They smell fantastic and according to my bby and his brother they taste great. Yeah! My first biscuits!!! *proud*

Only 6 days to go until christmas. *excited* I can't wait!!

My bby's sitting in front of his fancy laptop and is looking at videos of men doing sit-ups. He's got like 48 of them..phew. Whatever makes him happy.. :-s

We're going to Canterbury on Thursday. Should be great too. We'll see.

I realised today that I haven't been with my family for christmas since 2002. Wow. Hm...what can I say? It's not easy when everybody lives somewhere else and you have to choose where to spend your holidays. (It might even been longer..2001 or so...who knows)

@everybody in my Yahoo addressbook: Yahoo's been a PITA lately..soo be patient please. :)

That's it from me. Would be great if I heard from "you"... ;)

Bill Bryson becomes honorary OBE


Tessa Jowell and Bill Bryson
Bill Bryson's first book was published in 1985

American author Bill Bryson has been made an honorary OBE for his contribution to literature.

Bryson, who is best known for his witty travel writings, received the honour from Culture Secretary Tessa Jowell.

"I am surprised and very grateful to receive an honorary Order of the British Empire. It is a great honour," said the 55-year-old.

Ms Jowell said: "Despite having been born and raised in the US, he has become a true British institution."

Bryson, who has also worked as a journalist for the Times and the Independent, had his first book published in 1985.

He has gone on to write about the history of the English language in Mother Tongue and science in A Short History of Nearly Everything, for which he won the Aventis Prize in 2004.

Among his travel writings are Notes from a Big Country, about his pursuits around America, and Notes from a Small Island, which features his musings on Great Britain.

Last year the best-selling writer became chancellor of Durham University.

Well, it's been a while since I last posted something about me. Where should I start? Not much to tell really. I've finished my christmas shopping a few days ago. When I say finished, I mean for the English part of the my world. I have no idea what to do about the German part. :(

I have some really nice presents and I hope everybody likes them. I'm looking forward to this years christmas cos it will be totally different from what I know. For example christmas is on 25th December not on 24th but we decided to have a little christmas celebration for me with Christmas-Pizza. Hehe.

Today I went to take a test for the job I applied for. The test was alright. I had to wait an hour cos they had some "technical problems". The test itself was about 10 minutes. Data entry and numerical problem solving. I was a bit nervous about the math-part of it but it was easier than I thought it would be. Yeah! So now, let's hope they want me and send an invitation for an interview next week. >_<

We bought three christmas candles. They're smelly candles and they smell gooooood. Hmmm.

I also found out this week that my beloved man thought I don't like "marriage" and thought it was ridiculous etc. Yeah. He's right...but that was 10 years ago. I still think marriage is ridiculous when it is done for the wrong reasons, or when it is people who spend 10,000+ for the wedding. THAT'S ridiculous! So..ask me the question Noel. V_V

This is me as you can see. I took this picture with my new/old phone a few weeks ago. I had one of those moments where you dress weird/different, wear your hair weird/different and then you have to take a picture cos you might never look like that again. Haha.. (I look like my Dad!! O_O)

Today is the day: ITV shows "Love Actually"...the best romantic film of modern times. I could cry thinking about it. And I always end up crying at the end. It is funny, lovely, sad...everything good. :) Can't wait!!!

Well. That's it for now I guess. Today is Nikolaus and my Nan's Birthday. Happy Birthday Nan!!!!
