DUCATI:
Dad got a Monster 696 today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So brilliant, I went for a ride on the back, could barely hold on (no real handhold on the back) and felt like I was going to slip off, but it was FUCKING SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!!! The footpegs are in the perfect position for me, despite what my mother thought ("your legs aren't going to fit in that area!")


SNOWY:
Sadly though, on the 30/31 st December 2008 (we don't know which day), our second (and last) guinea pig Snowdrop died. She was about 10 years old, which is remarkable for a guinea pig (Duchess was about 8 when she passed away). She had been in a fair bit of pain before she died (her back legs basically became fused fully extended and she had to use her front legs to drag herself around), so her death wasn't unexpected. I was the one who found her though, and even thtough I wish that I adn't sometimes, I'm also a bit glad. I helped nurse her in her final weeeks and months, so it was a bit of closure for me to help her for the last time.
Fuck, I'm crying now.
It made me remember how much I loved them both (Snowy and Duchess) and how they were like my babies. I got a mint plant which I'm going to plant and take care of for them, as they loved mint a lot. They both have their own trees too, Snowy's is a jacaranda and Duchess' a red frangipani.

XMAS:
Pretty good, except I got really sick (flu-like symptoms). Got an iPod touch and a heap of other stuff, including the By Any Means book and DVD tickets to Top Gear Live and chocolate galore. Got seat covers from my aunt too... awesome.

on other news, got so much schoolowrk to do i haven't bothered with yet, have to go to work early tomorrow and do a shitty shift theis and next wednesday, but otherwise all good.

And anybody who is wondering, I've been a massive fan of cars and motorbikes since I was 3, when I saw my first speedway race and demolition derby. My parents getting bikes and me getting a car have reignited it for me




PS: GOOD NEWS! The Dacia Sandero made it to this journal!!!!
