Apologies, Puppies and Penguins

Firstly, apologies for the lack of blogginess... it's been nearly 2 weeks!! :O It does seem that my usual irregular blogging pattern has become increasingly more irregular since BEDA! But basically, I have either forgotten about it due to something else I was doing, probably some crappy school stuff, or I was stressing over crappy school stuff... which is always nice. Stupid English.

Last blog you may remember me mentioning some exciting news, well I think I can mention it now, as I've been telling everyone at school anyway... WE'RE GETTING A PUPPY!! How exciting is that? Maybe not very exciting to you but I am pretty damn excited. We have spoken about it many times in the past, but I never really thought it would happen... but Zoe has managed to persuade everyone, so we're all now very excited!

We have been to see them for the past 3 weekends and they are soooo cute! I will post pictures another time, probably once we actually have her. Yes, we're getting a girl :) 

Names? Well... at the moment we are all liking Ella, so Ella it is for now. Everyone seems to like the name Maisy but we are getting a Golden Retriever and I just don't think it suits a bit dog, but maybe that's just me! Any suggestions are welcome in the comments...

I also just thought that I would share this link because I thought it was absolutely brilliant!!It just made me smile and have a little bit of a giggle about it!

Woodlice

I know it sounds like a bit of an odd topic for a blog but I just thought I would write one in memory of the woodlouse I accidentally killed in my biology experiment yesterday... I know - evil!

We were doing an experiment which involved putting some woodlice in a choice tube (a hollow T-shaped tube) and letting it crawl the section where it then decides whether to go into the dark section or the light section. We started off with 4 woodlice but one was too fat for the tube so we disregarded it and gave it to someone else.

I appologise to all the woodlice lovers but they arn't exactly the most intelligent of all insects. One of them decided it would be a smart idea to go into the light section (lit by a lamp). Now this section was not exactly the coolest of sections and it seemed that it was probably frying in there as it promptly decided to try and reverse... and failed.Don't worry, I did save it by tipping the tube - I'm nice really!

But in another incident I was tipping the 3 woodlice out of the tube but none of them seemed to be falling out so I decided to tap it against the table but unfortunately just as I was hitting the tube on the table, one feel out and I ended up stabbing it :S I'm sorry!!

R.I.P woodlouse!
