HONEYTHORN.
HONEYTHORN.

This is mostly directed at her.

So, I had a rabbit, and things were going swimmingly.
Then it died.

But before it died, I had bought it some nice new hay, and well, it's just going to go to waste, so I was wondering if it's safe for rats to nibble on it, or if they'll nest in it.

Hay is perfectly fine for rats as far as I know, as long as they aren't hairless. They may be more likely to nest in it than eat it though, and if they do much a bit it shouldn't do any harm as it's just dried grass.

I found a dying butterfly so I put him in my pocket and brought him home. I've stuck him on a budlia branch in case he feels peckish in his last moments.

The saddest thing is that their are not enough Butterflys in the Uk because of the dwindling habitats (thanks to people defoliating their gardens so they can be trendy and have nothing but concrete and decking, and pesticides , including people building on their habitats etc etc), I wish there was a way of breeding them and letting them out in to the wild so the populations can regenerate !!!.

There have hardly being any Butterflys this year where I live, and we used to get dozens on our Budlia tree !!!.

I saw all that on the news. They were mentioning 'tortoise shell' butterflies (not sure if that's the name exactly). Apparently they need nettles to live in. I felt a bit guilty because last week I had chopped down a huge amount in my back garden. Though, to be fair, I couldn't properly get into my garden with them there and there are still many left.

It doesn't look good. The situation of insects and such, from what I know.

Thanks, Honeythorn.

I suspected that might be the case, but I thought I'd ask you.

Sometimes I wish humans would just disappear. Either that or develop better development and production and transportation habits...

I finally got my graphics tablet pen working in Linux I'm so happy! *uses*

Quick announcement:
Next time I see someone mentioning something religious for help or for meaning, I'm not going to hold myself back. I'm going to go fully at it!
It's not that I'm pissed or anything; I have just decided that I've let many inconsistent and flawed religious comments pass by for the sake of being nice, and I choose not to do that again.
In any case, a religious argument is no different than any other argument we have in this site:
- someone mentions something another one fins stupid
- there's justification of positions
- one gets offended and decides to offend too instead of 'wasting' time in justifying the position

The only difference is that it's a more touchy subject, but that's not the disagreeing guy's fault (i.e. Me)

I don't have a problem with drinking, but I am not going to drink to get drunk anymore, I just don't dig the feeling.

One could easily fall in love with GLaDOS. She's as quirky as the ship-minds the Culture uses in Iain M. Banks books.

Ah. Got to listen to that song ooooone more time.

WOW. Ok that was a bloody good show (Cruxshadows). There weren't as many people there as I thought there'd be ( despite the fact this is Stourbridge) in fact the place, small as it is was half empty but the atmosphere was great. I know Rogue has a habit of getting in with the crowd but I wasn't entirely expecting him to march up to the bar, grab a rickety old bar stool dump it in the middle of the dancefloor and climb on there and sing. But hey! It was cool, I applaud his balance. He stroked me as he went by as well ^_^ Omnomnom.

I think the highlight has to be Deception, he came down, grabbed some guy, and in the violin solo they linked arms and did a jig! Haha.

They got most of the people in there on stage for the last song which I thought was brilliant. I didn't go up as I'm far too self conscious, and he hugged everyone on the way offstage when they finished , which I obviously can't cope with so never mind . Then he and the guitarist came down and just started talking to people and hugging them, having pictures ect. I've honestly never seen a band do that, really friendly and chatty. I am most impressed

I wish Rhapsody would hurry up and get ported onto DS and be shipped here....

It's an RPG meets a musical.
