This was the text message I got from Shirow at 4:53pm:

I was sleeping at the time, so the crazy loud (I didn’t realise my phone was that loud) ‘ding dong’ message alert woke me up *yawn*

Now! Before anyone thinks I’m incredibly lazy, I work 12 hour night shifts! But Shirow scaring the be-jesus out of me like that made me all confused. I thought I had to work tonight, and that I only had about 15 minutes to get up and get ready – else I’d be late!!! (winter always fucks me up) When in reality, last night (Monday) was my final night in work, and I could’ve stayed in bed for as long as I liked *sigh*

So after flying out of bed and putting the kettle on, I stood in the kitchen and realised it was Tuesday *rolls eyes* I sighed, put my hands on my hips, and Grrrr’d. After saying the obligitory ‘FUCK~’ (which makes everything better BTW), I thought about the text message I’d received. My train of thought went something like this:

After making a nice cup of Yorkshire Tea and grabbing a packet of Mc Vities Chocolate Digesties (no…I don’t get paid commission), I thought I’d check to see if Shirow was on MSN – which he was – and decided to find out about that which he felt the need to wake me up over.

So here’s the info, thanks to amped_echoz at Hello! Online:
