Edit: I just had to document this little snippet of my stupidity, from an MSN conversation:
Tish 21:27 haha microsoft comes up as a spelling mistake on my mac
Tish 21:28:07 cause it spell checks everything you write
Tish 21:28:10 apple doesnt
Tish 21:28:15 well duh tish, apple is a word
Tish 21:28:22 -_-
I’ve gone on a pedantic optimisation spree - and I can gladly report that this front page alone weighs just 40kb. Yes, that’s right folks - a measly 40kb. I wish I could say the same for myself - I weigh about 60kg. I really need to go about trying to convert kilograms to kilobytes, don’t I? I should have a go at that, actually. I should even write a PHP script and put a converter up. The only problem being - I’m not a l33t PHP ninja 
I’ve added a tag cloud to the footer, and I took away the buttons. They were piling on the pounds/bytes/whatever and they were kind of superfluous, really. I still need ideas on what else I’m going to add. Maybe a piratey cat quote rotation. Yarr me hearties, yo ho ho and a bottle of milk. That wasn’t funny, but whatever
Now, out of cyberspace and back into real life: I’ve decided I want to play drums properly. Of course, a drum kit costs about £250 - and I wont be able to practice in my own garage/house/room since it’s very noisy. I already play guitar and a sufficient amount of keyboard; I just really like making noise on drums. I have quite a good sense of rhythm, but as anyone who has ever tried to play drums will know, bringing a foot (or two) into something really throws it all off. I’m pretty sure I can get used to it, though. I prefer drums over guitar because I have very short, weak fingers, which means after more than two or three minutes of playing something that involves a lot of moving around, my hand becomes inundated in lactic acid - you know, the stuff that makes your legs feel like they’re burning in agony when you run for too long. I’m also quite clumsy with my fingers, so I always end up hitting the wrong notes or fretting the wrong string.
Next layout idea: cat on a drum kit (:

I can’t think of a title.
Is my site just too awesome? Is that why nobody is reviewing it on YS.nu?
Go on (:
I wont bore you with the details of my first few days back at school. Basically, we’re all mixed up for lessons now, and we have some new teachers. One teacher I’ve had for two years already, and I’ve only just realised that she has a Yorkshire accent. And another teacher looks like action man and sounds like Tony Blair. Hilarious, I know.
Oh yeah, and how the hell do you get to my site by searching “emo clothes for cats”? Haha.
Who would search that anyway?
Is there someone, somewhere, dressing their cat up in black and sticking safety pins through its ears as we speak?
Deary me.

An interesting turn of events…
When I woke up this morning, I didn’t think I’d be returning to my own hosting account with my very own domain. Life takes interesting twists and turns sometimes.
Jacky has hosted me for the past few months, and I’m very grateful for that 
Thanks, Jacky!
As you will know if you followed Twiskers.net, I originally needed hosting because of financial problems. But now, everything is okay and when I asked my Mum if she was still planning on cancelling the Dreamhost account, she said I could keep it. Dreamhost gave me another domain registration free because I’ve been with them for about… three years now, so here I am. This morning I was at tish.dubious.nu, and now I’m at thecatmafia.net!
I feel weird… Sort of, lonely. I really am a very strange person, aren’t I?
