More baby snakes!
Ever since 2006 I have bred baby cornsnakes.

This is Wyrm's third breeding season (I have two of her 2007 babies and one of her 2008 babies)

It's also the first year I haven't had babies from Jool (she died of egg-binding last year after passing half of her clutch)

I'll probably post pics of the babies (pics of one of Jool's 2006 babies and Wyrm's whole 2008 litter are already there along with a pic of my boa) over at my DA account - http://pkbitchgirl.deviantart.com

Oh and about two or three days before the current crop of babies hatched, Wyrm dropped her second clutch of the season so hopefully I'll have more babies later in the year.

I was in the Farscape fandom and after the ep PK Tech Girl quite a few fans were naming themselves PK This and PK That. I decided to go for PKBitchGirl because its just one word difference from the original ep title

He wants children, he'll either have to accept the fact that he's getting no kids from me or he can GTFO. And no I'm not going to change my mind for that special person and no, I'm not going to change my mind because I'm a woman and deep down all any woman wants to do is shit out a widdle baybee

He's really into sports, well soccer to be precise. I hate soccer with a passion, I won't even watch if Ireland is playing in the World Cup.

He's a smoker, I had a really bad cough for nearly two months when i was around 16 due to going to a funeral where seven people were smoking in the bar, it really put me off and stinky ciggie breath is foulness personified

Oh Noes a Disabled Person!

The BBC hired a disabled presenter to present two of its programmes on CBeebies, prompting a flurry of complaints that a one-armed presenter might give children nightmares. One father said he was considering going as far as banning his daughter from watching the programme for fear it would give her nightmares.

Hmmmm, way to promote tolerance here. Tolerance begins at home, instead of whinging and bitching and wringing their hands the parents should be using this to explain that there are disabled people in the world and there is nothing wrong with being disabled.

At least the Daily Fail commenters get it right this time, only five of the posts which got a thumbing down are against the hiring of Ms. Burnell, around 90% of the comments are in support of her.

I've never seen the programmes in question, but I would never dislike a presenter because of their disability. I only dislike presenters because of their personality or attitude, it's a shame more people didn't think the same

Writer's Block: Bird by Bird

It's National Bird Day in the U.S. Do you think it's cruel to keep birds in cage where they can't fly freely or flock with others of their kind?

It could potentially be cruel if they're locked in their cage 24/7

We have a cockatiel and the door of her cage is open 24/7 so she spends most of her time sitting on her cage, she also likes exploring the floor

We had one bird, a lineolated parakeet who actively DISLIKED leaving his/her cage. Upon removal it would fly straight back to its cage and hop inside.

Spike and Angel, President Roslin and Gaius Baltar, Harry and Hermione—shippers often find pairings that the original author might have overlooked. What coupling of fictional characters would you most like to see?

Creepy Guy tries to pick me up

This weird guy approached me on the street and tried to pick me up. He was Indian or Pakistani, I think he might have worked in the restaurant down the street (where we got prawns that were gone off when we ate there a few months ago).

He started by asking me if I was studying at the University, I said I was. He asked me if I had a job and told me that he could get me one. I’d like to point out that he was bald, middle-aged, was missing quite a few teeth from the middle of his mouth and was also smoking whilst he talked

Asked me if I had a boyfriend, ‘oh oh’ I thought. So I lied and told him I had a BF. He then asked me how many nights a week I saw my (non-existent) BF, seriously WTF?

He then wanted my phone number, I told him my phone was Irish, the credit was running out and I would be changing my phone anyway. He offered to buy me a new one, Jeezus ****ing Christ, couldn’t he take a hint?

I made my excuses to leave and then went around the corner and went to the Spar shop there because he had stopped me outside my door and I didn’t want to go straight back to my flat because I didn’t want him knowing where I lived.

Baybeez! (Snakes that is)
I went in to the Reptile Haven on Thursday (they were looking after Jool's eggs for me) and the eggs had slits in them and you could see the pattern of the little snakes inside them. One egg had completely collapsed so I asked about it, turns out two of the babies were already completely out and were in a little box together. Only a day old, so cute!

I'm going to upload some pics from my camera phone to my father's laptop because my laptop won't take the sony memory stick anymore for some reason (busted software or some such) and then upload it to photobucket and then to my livejournal.

The babies' mother, Jool, is dead. She laid eight eggs, had five still inside her that she couldn't pass. She laid when we were on holiday, she was in the Reptile Haven and they were too short-staffed to get her to a vet. After I came home we arranged a vet visit for her. She had three vet visits in total and the last vet visit she was admitted into the veterinary clinic (the vet in question is the vet for Dublin Zoo) but she died overnight. She was my first snake too, had her since she was about 2-3 mths old

So, these babies are extra special, I'll be keeping one or two of them (the ones that look most like mum)

Need a job
I need a job. I need €€€€€€€€€€€€€€€

I'm going to Vancouver in August and I have enough money for flight and accomodation, but I need C$$$$$$$$$$$$ for food, convention add-ons, autographs, photos with, sightseeing

The convention is GateCon by the way, I may get to meet Jack O'Neil (I'll certainly see him on stage). GC has gotten the one guest that would never do Creation in a billion years (take that Creation!), eh not that RDA will ever end up living a billion years, if he did he could end up looking like the FAce of Bo on Doc Who.

So, what to do in Van? Sightseeing of course, but what to sightsee? White water rafting would be nice to do... maybe visit the aquarium again to seeing the new baby Beluga

Whalewatching perhaps.....

Oh, and of course I'm going to have some fries and gravy...

I hate flies
Well, to be more precise, bluebottles, and do be even more precise, that ****ing noisy buzz they make as they fly around, there's one buzzing around even as I type.

If there ever was a species that deserved to go extinct, bluebottles are it (them and skangers)

I sometimes catch them live and throw them in with my turtle

I've been hacked again
Ugh, I've received another email from eBay stating that my password has been compromised. Meaning that I'll have to change my password yet again.

This is the second time this year that this has happened and my PayPal account was hacked last year too.

I wonder how long it will be before my livejournal account is hacked?

I hate Mary Sues
Especially ones in the Reboot fandom where instead of having her Mary Sue go after the object of her lust (i.e. Bob) because she doesn't beleive in stealing another (fictional) woman's guy she creates a twin brother for him who's silver instead of blue. She makes everyone happy and smily even the grumpy ones and writes about breast-feeding in her fics.

Oh, and incase you don't realise, yes Jo Ann Montgomery, this is all about you.

Now, behave like a good little 42 year old and run off and write a punishment fic (where the Reboot cast sit around and discuss how mean I am) starring me

MY ATM card was skimmed
Yesterday I was sitting in Athlone train station waiting for my father to pick me up when my mobile phone rang. It was a man from AIB (Allied Irish Bank) who wanted to verify some recent card transactions (my card is also a laser/debit card). Someone had performed a laser transaction in Bucharest (where I've never been!) to the tune of €190, they had tried another transaction of in excess of €200, but that failed to go through.

I'll get my money back, but I'll have to sign forms in order to do so. My card has been cancelled, so it'll be at least five working days before I get a new one. Which means that in order to get money out of my account I'll have to physically go into the bank and queue for ages.

He reckons my card was skimmed by a card reader in an ATM machine in the last month. I wonder could it have happened in Vancouver? I was over at a Stargate convention from 31st March to 13th April.

Fuck you card skimmers

Leopard gecko Tango
I had put my gerbils into the bathroom whilst I was away for the weekend. When I came home I put them on the bed, I looked up at my leopard gecko box to see Tango staring intently, as if fascinated, at the gerbils. He's never seen any before

Harry Potter audition
I'm glad I checked the details about the Harry Potter auditions before I booked my plane ticket.

I read in Herald AM that the auditions for Lavender Brown and Tom Riddle were taking place at Earls Court in London on Sunday 1st July and Sunday 8th July.
I decided to go to the one on the 8th of July.
On Tuesday I forgot to book my flight, but on Wednesday I decided to check the details of the audition. It turned out that the Lavender audition was only on the first Sunday and the Tom audition was on the second Sunday. I thought both auditions were being held on both dates.

So, it looks like I won't get a chance to be in the next Harry Potter movie.

Oh well, there'll be more chances for other projects in the future

Sigh
I've just managed to accidentally delete all all of my previous journal entries. That'll teach me not to save my posts onto my hard drive.

Ugh, all that time spent typing up entries, gone.

I hate it when people beg at ATM machines (the trick is to take out your mobile phone and threaten to call the police)
I'm currently expecting 13 snake eggs to hatch.
I am an actor who's not having much luck getting a job
The best apples in the world come from my apple tree
I've been in one production (Realise) which I would like to get out of my mind
My iguana Harvey Headbanger was cast in a TV show before me (I've yet to get an acting role in TV)

I've been on The X-Factor, the X-Tra Factor and You're a Star
I have 13 snakes (one of which I paid €2000 for (she's gonna have babies for me in a few years time) and two of which I bred from my female cornsnake)
I love Chinese food, Lucozade (original only, all other lucozade flavours are a curse on humanity), chocolate and Tayto Scoops (I can still taste them even though they were discontinued years ago, we used to eat them whilst watching Buffy:TVS and Angel on SkyOne)
I accidentally started a fire at a SciFi convention when a helium balloon drifted too close to a light and the fire was put out by Bridget Jones' best gay friend Tom AKA James Callis (he was there b/c he's now in BattleStar Galactica)
I have a vegetable patch which I tend when I go home to my parents' at the weekend
I got a bantam hen Sunday before last. My parents weren't happy as the last hen we had (a 6lb buff orphington) used to
