Mumpy mump mump.

I've got mumps. It's not fun. And it's my birthday on friday! Rubbish.

I've been trying to put my finger on what I look like - a hamster or gerbil? One of the mutants from The Hills have Eyes? I wasn't sure. Then I looked in the mirror this morning and it hit me: The receptionist from monsters inc.

That is actually what I look like... but only on one side which apparently means (lucky me) I can get it again on the other side in years to come.

My camera has run out of battery as well and I left the charger in uni, so no actual pictures. There are however two plus points to this illness (always look on the briiiight side of life.. di dum di dum di dum and all that jazz), firstly it has saved me money - I've been at home so haven't had to buy any food and I haven't been able to go to the shops and secondly it really hurts to eat so that extra half a stone I've been trying to shift is slipping away quite nicely (I know it will go back on really quickly but lets ignore that). I went to the doctors yesterday even though theres nothing they can do because I think you just have to notify them and I had to wait in the car rather than in reception so I didn't pass it on. Felt like a leper!

I was having a little look on urbanoutfitters.com and getting very jealous that everything is so much cheaper than the co.uk version and all the 'Apartment' stuff is so fun! Not fair.

Two things that would make my life complete are:

I love snails.
