Holy fack! I am so mad, there's blood coming out of my nose. DX

See, I pre-ordered a copy of FF7:Advent Children several months ago, and it was supposed to arrive on my doorstep today! But guess what?! The daft buggers at the game shop sold out their entire stock! They sold my copy of FF7:AC to someone else! I had pre-ordered it! They thought, what? That I probably didn't want it anymore, 'cos I ordered it so long ago?! That I had forgotten about it?!! I'd sell my soul to find out what was going through their fackin heads when they sold my copy of AC - MY COPY - to someone else!!!


MY BLEEDING COPY!!


I'd kill them, if it weren't illegal.

I bought myself a bird two days ago.
He's a dwarf parrot, an Agapornis Roseicollis (Peach-Faced Lovebird), and - get this! - he's GREY. And white. But mostly grey! Some sort of weird colour mutation.
This is how Roseicollises normally look (default colouration): i5.photobucket.com/albums/y151…
Here's my deceased Roseicollis, Beauty: i5.photobucket.com/albums/y151…
And my newly purchased Roseicollis looks like this, if you just replace the blue tones with grey/silver ones: i5.photobucket.com/albums/y151…
He's lovely.

I'm trying to come up with a name for him (or her...I can't tell if it's a male or female). These are the names I'm contemplating thus far:
Auron (like the character from FF10, 'cos he was wickedly cool),
Cloud (like the character from FF7, or, you know, 'cos he's grey, he kind of reminds me of a little rain cloud),
Paine (like the character from FF10-2 - coolest female character EVER),
Squall (like the character from FF8),
Cirrus (ever heard of Cirrus clouds?),
Gossamer,
Sterling

Name suggestions are welcome!


UPDATE:
Right. I've decided to name him/her either Cloud or Sterling...

UPDATE #2:
My apologies to the Cloud fans, but I've decided to name him/her Sterling.
My preciousss Sssterling.

I saved a Greenfinch today. I named him Will Green.

My mum and I found him in the middle of a road. He was just sitting there, completely still. He had probably been hit by a car or something.
I love birds, and I really couldn't care less about the bird flu. So, I picked him up, and held him between my hands to keep him warm. He barely made any attempt to break free.
We took him to the vet's, but they wouldn't take him, 'cos they were afraid he might have the flu. D:< Bloody idiots...
Since he had survived the 45 minute drive to the vet's, I named him Will. Will Green.
Anyway, a vet nurse gave me a small cardboard box to keep Will in, and then she rang up a bird rescue centre. They gave us directions to their place, we jumped back in the car and drove for another 45 minutes.
And guess what? When we finally got there, Will was still very much alive! He was bleeding quite severely, though. And there's not much blood in such a little bird...
They treated him as best they could, and when we left, he was still alive. I just hope he survives...
