Klepto-kitty!

Oh, and something I forgot in all the Worf-excitement. Earlier on Friday, I glanced out the back window (happens a lot, cos that’s the way I face when I’m on the computer) and saw one of the cat toys (a small pink plastic ball with a bell inside) sitting outside the back door. I thought this was a little odd since it hadn’t been there went I went out the day before, and asked Willow if she’d taken it out there. She just twitched her ear. Tcha, cats. ;-) Anyway, later on when I was outside after looking for Worf, the next door neighbour came out, and asked if we had a yellow, and a pink one of these little balls. I said that yes, we did (there are two pink ones). Turns out that their cat Billy, a friendly chap who visits us quite frequently, is a bit of a klepto-kitty. He nicks ’em and takes them back to his, where he then completely ignores them. LOL. Oh well. As long as he doesn’t start going for cash or jewellery……

I saw this link at not.so.soft. I kind of know this story….. only the version I remember was a bit different. But I can’t remember how! Anyone?

Would you believe it?!

Would you believe it, I saw Worf yesterday. The little fluffy sod. I’m going to squeedge him to death (not really) when I catch him. I looked out the window and there he was, large as life and twice as fluffy, sitting at the bottom of the garden. I’m 99% certain it was him, cos if it wasn’t, then it was his identical twin-kitty. It wasn’t the mini-she-Worf, cos she lives too far away, and anyway this cat looked Worf-sized. There aren’t any other long-haired cats with his colouring (the rusty bit on his chest, etc) round here, and he had the little round name tag like Worfie does, too. Trouble is, I went running out the back door, and the cat legged it. But the time I got to the end of the garden, grabbed Willow (who thought we were going on some big adventure, I think) and looked up and down the path, there was no sign. ARGH!! But if it’s him, that’s good, right? Cos it means he’s nearby and healthy. :-) But I’m still going to squeedge him……

Ahhhh, retail therapy…..

Ahhhh, retail therapy….. :-) I feel better. Not that I was so very terrible to begin with….. I just had a marginally crappy weekend, especially compared to poor Megs–> {{{{{*hugs*}}}}}. But I still have no Worf (a big black cat tried to come in the catflap last night, and it might have been him, but Willow was on her guard-cat roll, and went haring off and chased him away…. it was too dark to see clearly if it actually was him or not), and Saturday night wasn’t fun – went over to B’s friends’ place, but I had a pounding headache and was really out of it, so now they’re going to think I’m even more of a boring old party pooper than they did before cos of my work hours. :-( And today I have the thing which we don’t mention to the blokes at work cos it totally freaks them all (ROTFL!). So, retail therapy….. lots of new tops. Wanted trousers, and maybe a skirt too, but I didn’t have time to try them on. Maybe tomorrow. This shop rocks, though. It’s not as big as Black Rose of course, but it has lots of Omen stuff. *drools* I’m going to end up spending sooooooo much money there…..

Spiked Awards voting, etc

Well….. hmm…. the voting for the SPIKED Awards is all done, and we have winners. *g* They won’t be announced until Wednesday, though, as I still have to finish off making some of the awards, and put the winning site and fic titles on the ones I already have. And I’m working another 5 day stretch again. Yes, I know most people work 5 days in a row, but I do shifts. Still, another 2 and a half weeks of it, and then I’ve taken 4 days leave which actually gives me 9 days off. Yay! :-) I’ll probably be spending the time getting my sites all up to date. Heh.

I know it’s silly, but I keep having dreams that I’ve found Worf. *sigh* There wasn’t any sign of him by the railtracks, in the end. Pesky animal that he is. But I hope it was him, cos at least that would mean he’s not far away. I still wonder if he’s trying to get back to London….. urgh.

Oh, hey, and I’m writing again…. I’d taken a bit of a break, but then I got inspired and now I’ve got 3 on the go. All Spike-y fic, of course. Hmm, actually, I’ve got 5 on the go if you count Night Walks On (I occasionally do bits of it, but it’s depressing writing a story you know no-one’s interested in), and the Harmony fic I’ve been playing around with since last summer. That’s a fun one, but it keeps getting interrupted. Oh well….. back to work….

Um. Forgot to post again.

Um. Forgot to post again. I knew this would wear off. *g* But I’ve been busy – working a lot, and doing site updates the rest of the time. I redesigned and moved The Sunset Club without having intended to. Well, I intended to move it, but not do a total redesign. Had another Worf-sighting. … Continue reading “Um. Forgot to post again.”

Had another Worf-sighting. By the railtracks, down the road. Two lads knocked on the door last night to say they’d just seen him. But he’d disappeared (if it was him) by the time we got back there. No sign of him today, either. I’ll keep looking though.

Ramble, blah, ramble

I started this post before, but my friggin’ computer crashed. Bah. So anyway, where was I? I don’t really remember. Ho hum. Oh well. I got the ‘site’ section up, finally. And that’s about all the updates I got done today, in the end. I did housework instead. Bleuch. You know, when I was going … Continue reading “Ramble, blah, ramble”

You know, when I was going updates to the SPIKED Awards yesterday, I ended up surfing through a few Spike sites I hadn’t seen before, or seen recently. And now I’m depressed. I’m trying to get Spiked and Skewered updated and redesigned, and make it really good, but when I look at these sites, I wonder what the point is – they’re fantastic, and some of them have such similar things to S&S. One site has a guide to Spike slang, much like my “How to Talk Proper”, only done better. The only thing is that I had it first, I guess. When I started S&S there wasn’t anything like that, as far as I know….. Oh sod it. I’m going to update, and I’m going to make it good. It’d be stupid to give up just cos of that. Guess I’ll just have to try harder.

Had another possible Worf sighting today – a lady who lives just a few doors away from me saw a large black cat in her garden yesterday that she hasn’t seen before. Went to look, but no sign again. Hope it was him.

My brother just sent me his newly completed film script.
(sorry, I just have to pause to listen to November Rain…. god I love this track… and cool – I haven’t seen the video before! Oh, this is good – Slash picking the tracks on MTV2)
Right, back to Martin’s script (though since the next track is Metallica, I’m going to be quick and finish off now) – so, he’s been working on this for a while, and it’s done. I was going to print it out to read, but it’s 95 A4 pages….. d’oh. So I think I’ll print some, and then go to bed. Cos I’m working again tomorrow.

*Fade To Black*

Thought I’d found my Worf

Thought I’d found my Worf this morning, you know. Just for a few minutes. I was walking to the station, and I saw this cat that I thought was him. So I stopped and stared, and called out to it. It jumped down from the wall it was sitting on and trotted over. It was just a…. a…. Oh my god, here he is!….. oh…. no he’s not moment. Cos when the cat actually got up to me, I saw that it was actually only about 2/3 of Worf’s size, and I think it was a little girl cat, too. *sigh* She was very sweet and friendly, so I told her that if she sees a cat that looks just like her, only bigger, to send him home. *g*

sniffle

*sniffle* Looks like the Worf-report was a false alarm in the end. Went round to that road again last night to call him, and saw a bloke who lives there who also has cats. He told me there’s a big black fluffy cat that lives round there. That was probably the one that was spotted. Still, I spose it is possible that Worf’s round there too. I don’t know what the lady who rang up said, exactly, cos B answered the phone. But now I feel all down again – I was feeling relieved, cos I thought I knew where he was, roughly, and that he was safe. And now I don’t know again. :-( And…. and….. *deep breath* now-it’s-snowing-and-what-if-he’s-all-lost-and-cold-and-lonely…... I just have to keep telling myself he’s a big fluffy boy, and he can look after himself OK. And the lady in the shop thinks she saw him too. So, maybe he’s not too far away. I really hope not. ‘k, I’ll shut up now.

Been busy

Haven’t posted anything for a few days, cos I’ve been a bit busy. Lessee….. on Tuesday night we went bowling – cheap and tacky, and lots of fun! :-) I like bowling. I didn’t do all that badly, either. I only missed totally twice, and I got one strike, and a couple of whatever-you-call-it’s where … Continue reading “Been busy”

Wednesday, Mum and Dad came to visit for a few days to see my new house and where I’m living and all that. So we spent a couple of days sightseeing (it’s all new to me, too, of course) and so on. They’re going back today, but I’m working, so I said bye last night. Oh, and they got us a couple of bits more furniture, so now we have somewhere to put our clothes, and the glasses and booze, and that kind of thing. Whoo.

Oh, weird thing – I found out that this girl I used to go to school with now presents a kinda Gaming review TV programme thing called BITS, having also been in a couple of horror movies like this one (“Emily Bouffant”). Funny thing is, I found out cos B asked me if I knew her…. he watches the prog (I’m sure I’ve seen it too, but maybe not), and had seen on the website that she’s from the same town as me. He didn’t realise she was in the same class, though! LOL.

And finally….. (these entries are getting longer, aren’t they?) there’s some good-ish news on the Worf front. We’ve had 3 probable sightings. The first one was the lady who works in the corner shop – I finally got my printer connected up and printed some posters and fliers off, and when I took one in there she looked at the picture and said that she’s sure that he was the cat who she’d seen in her garden. She opened her greenhouse door last Saturday (so that’s a week ago now) and he came pelting out and jumped over the fence. So he could have been trapped in there for a few days. Then last night we had a phone call from a woman who said she’d seen a large black cat roaming around on this road that’s across the main road and up a bit from where we live. We went over there, and I spoke to someone who lived around where he was sposed to have been, and she told me that a cat who sounds very much like Worf had been sitting on her fence staring her out (sounds about right! *g*) just a day or two ago. So it sounds like he might be over there. No sign of him last night, of course, but it gives us an idea where to look……

Blog discoveries

Look see, over there on the right. Guestbook. Sign-ez vous! You know you want to….. Doosh. A whole load of people have blogs I didn’t know about til I read Megs’ today.

Doosh. A whole load of people have blogs I didn’t know about til I read Megs’ today. And then found others’ from there. Some of them peeps I have seen since the KK went *phluuuurph*, like Gilly and Carolyn. But there’s Anji too. Nobody tells me anything….

Got the bus to work today (still no Worf this morning *sniffle*). For some reason, no trains go in before midday on a Sunday, but even then there’s a replacement bus service at the mo. So I’ve gotta get a bus back home again, too. Oh well. But you know, I dunno if I’m just used to the fecking insane London bus drivers, but I swear we never got above 30mph, even on the long straight road bits. Very sedate, it was. Got to Hull on time, though. So that’s OK.

Tcha…. back to work……

Still no Worf

Still no sign of the Worf. Went hunting round again tonight…. stumbling through fields and back paths with knackered torch. Thought we’d found him at one point, but it turned out to be a non-fluffy large black cat. *sigh* Also saw another cat in the distance at one point, but it’s eyes reflected orangey in the torchlight, and Worf’s are very green. It ran away when we started wading across the field towards it, too. Worf usually comes when he’s called. He’s part dog, I swear. It also didn’t help that when we were round the back of our house calling for him, one of next door’s cats came instead. Ho hum. I really should stop going on about this, shouldn’t I? Urgh, and it’s 12.15am now. I’m working tomorrow. My first Sunday shift. Yay. But at least I don’t have to get up at 6am. :-)

Where’s Worf? :-(

This was sposed to be all done by now. The “me” and “site” pages and all, I mean. But I’ve kind of had my mind elsewhere the last few days. Mr Worf has disappeared :-( Last time I saw him was Wednesday night, and he was chasing some imaginary thing down the stairs. I was off work Thursday and Friday, and by the time I got up on Thurs, he wasn’t there. At first I assumed he was just asleep under the bed as usual, but when he didn’t come for food I went to look, and no Worfie. Obviously, he’d taken himself out of the catflap which at first I figured was good – we moved in just over 3 weeks ago, and he’s only been out for 10 mins at a time before, and he’s made us open the door for him, too (we didn’t have a catflap before). I think he had taken himself out at least once before, cos he was soggy and rained-on one morning when I got up, so I didn’t worry until there was still no sign of him in the evening. I mean, I’d expect him to get hungry and come back to eat. He used to be outside a lot down in London, but he always came in for food….. So now I’m really worried, cos nearly 3 days are gone, and still no sign. None of the neighbours have seen him. I hope he’s shut in somewhere, and not lost or hurt. :-( Pesky pudding cat that he is. He’d better come back. Can’t be doing without my fluffboy.
