Sorry I haven't been that active: I've been caught in the middle of a moving debacle. >.< A rather lovely group of friends of mine asked me to move in with them (thank goodness: I've been living at home, and while I'm close to my family we tend to start snarling at each other if we can't get a bit of space to ourselves). Unfortunately, however, their cats decided to use my new room as a latrine... several months ago. And no-one bothered to clean it up in time.
... *sigh*
So. I've spent the last little while dashing about like a mad thing trying to get the carpets replaced and convincing landlords to pay for it. -_- Things should have settled down by the end of the week, though, and if not I'll still probably be posting anyway: Charrick's bouncing off the walls inside my head and if I don't let her out soon I think my poor carpet-addled brains might explode.
I hope all the fuss with the carpet has finally been dealt with and that it went to your advantage, Grif. Moving alone is a lot of trouble but add stuff like that and it's a madhouse.
