» Dani’s Diary
20 yr old Dani has been busy watching telly, biting her nails and playing on her computer
I am sitting in front of the telly and I have just seen the scariest advert in the world… it’s for a thing called Igglepiggle, a kid’s toy that has got something to do with ‘blanket time’. And I have never seen anything so creepy. Of all the toys on a kid’s bed that, in a Stephen King novel, might become possessed, this is the one. Thank the lord I got that out of my system. Someone else must find that creepy, right?

Having just arrived home from a weekend away in a tent, I have a slightly tanned face and white bits on the ends of my nails. Who would have thought that the main point of conversation between our group of friends was about pooing in portaloos or, more precisely, that none of us would… which resulted in mass tummyache on getting home!
"I wanted to get home to touch my new computer. Who am I kidding? I’m as sad as they come"
You tend to learn something about yourself when you go away to something like that, and I think the main lesson from the weekend was that you don’t necessarily have to get really drunk to have a good time. We all stayed pretty sober, (well, sober-ish), and still managed to stay up until dawn and dance the night away.
But the biggest thing learnt by all was that hula hooping is the best fun in the world. And I’ll tell you one thing… the guys from The Happiness Band sure can hula hoop.
Although I enjoyed being at the festival, I missed my new toy. I had saved and saved and bought myself a MacBook and, like every new owner of a MacBook, I spent my first few days with it taking pictures of myself with the little camera, and using all the different settings to see what you look like with your mouth on your forehead. I wanted to get home to touch my new computer, because I love it so much. But, of course, I kept that a secret because it’s just pretty sad. But who am I kidding? I am as sad as they come. Using my MacBook I joined Facebook, and then unjoined Facebook. I got to grips with my widgets which always get the weather right.
What else have I been doing, other than trying and failing to eat my five-a-day? I have been enjoying having a bit of time off. I have, (in an bid to help with the five-a-day thing), been planting my own veggies and looking after them. I have just realised I have turned into my grandmother. I have been trying to get my phone bill down, and trying to decide whether I should dye my hair any blonder. Do I want to see The Simpsons Movie? Or has ten years of episodes filled my quota?
