Did you dress up today? See any good costumes?
No, and no. I haven't actually left the house today... And I hate the commercialism of Halloween so I don't participate. Trick or treaters annoy the hell out of me, since you're basically forced to give them sweets. My parents got their house egged when they refused. >:( Now they just put a sign up on their door saying they'll call the police if people try and force them to give them anything. Some of the people round where my parents live are not exactly nice, let's put it that way. The next road is a council estate, you can work out the rest.
Here we live as part of another building and we go in via the back, so the front door of the building is our landlords'. Which means, no annoying t-o-ters :D :D :D It does mean we don't have our own address and therefore can't get any post or deliveries, but I much rather prefer the peacefulness of this than the convenience of that.
What's your sign? What do you think of astrology and horoscopes?
I'm a Virgo. As for what I think about it... I'm curious and sceptical all at once. Sometimes my horoscope is correct, sometimes it isn't. I'm not into tarot cards and all that crystal ball stuff, but I do wonder sometimes.

This post is mainly to test my Vox integration, but will also serve as an update since I haven't written anything for a week.
So yes, Vox. I got an account a while ago to catch up with some friends, but other than doing the question of the day, I haven't been using it much. I'm not a huge fan of its dodgy WYSIWYG interface and the fact that it's full of AJAX and JavaScript means it's really slow to load (but really fast once it has!). Also, you can't customise the way it looks and that annoys me a lot. At least with LiveJournal you can change the colours and even make new layouts if you know how to use the overrides or have a paid account. With Vox, you can't even change the colours. Meh. I appreciate that it's still in beta, but it's being officially launched sometime next week (29th I think?) so I don't think they're planning too many changes. :\
Right then, I have a dissertation draft thing to finish before Wednesday morning and I have barely started it. Better go and do that, I think...
How many computers do you have in your house?
Two, my laptop and my boyfriend's laptop. At my parents' house, we have more than that... The main PC, two old ones, my dad's laptop, and ... um ... that's it :P
If you're counting embedded computers (washing machines, phones etc.) then we have way too many to count.
Tell us about your first kiss. Who was it with? How old were you?
It was with my first and current boyfriend. I was 17.
What's the best way to spend a rainy day?
Curl up in bed in a nice warm duvet, knowing you don't have to do anything or go anywhere. Mmmmmm.
What are your weekend plans?
Sleep. And do the language assignment for Monday, as much as I don't want to. Bleurgh.
