hmm. 3 days solid of same three het couples is starting to get on my nerves. Just a bit. Grr. Think i may have to get home, put on all my best pvc gear and run around town till i calm down. (and this isn't a 'i'm cooler' moment so much as a sick of being the spare peg/token child/recieving the unintended (i'm completely sure) and subtle but ever-present message that since don't have a husband/fiance (haven't had any post-coming out conversations with my parents about where a girlfriend/partner would fit in so don't know their criteria for this!)/mortgage/car/profession/job/income(disposable or not)etc I'm still basically a child. check the connection between this 'grr' and my rather fatuous 'emotional maturity' thread. ha.)

As I said. Grr. But might be off tomorrow.

And not insomniacal, so much as wanting to check in with this place, it being a little difficult ot ring friends at family homes at 324am to moan about this. I *love* this place sometimes.

And having had my rant, am actually feeling a bit sleepy now.

This 'warmth' thing really works, dunnit?

Well that's that over then. Quite a strange Chritmas for me, didn't get home until yesterday afternoon, but it was quite nice opening gifts a day late.

Most unusual Christmas day for me ever I think, Suki for lunch and I only had a couple of drinks.

I'll make up for it at New Year though

I'm going to buy WWE Anthology at lunch time with some of my "Christmas Money"

sad...

Well, I'm plant-sitting, which has turned into house-sitting. Basically I'm holed up in an apartment with a better tv, computer and stereo than mine, not going anywhere - this is my week of the year where I wear the same clothes and catch up on the year in pop videos. I might venture out tonight because I'm feeling a bit cagey, although I'm making good progress with Charlie Chaplin's autobiography and just figured out how to work the espresso machine here. Thank goodness I'm on antibiotics and can't drink...

The wife gave birth to twins (one of each) on the solstice. That rather overshadowed the rest of the holiday for me. As far as things to get, I couldn't ask for better.

Yay - Christmas just got better. By better I do of course mean over. Thank goodness. This was by no means the [Simpsons comic guy} worst Christmas ever [/Simpsons comic guy], that accolade goes to the fifth Christmas in a row that I was ill. (flu, food poisoning, migrane, flu, watery stomach disorder with nausea)

I think that my high point of the festive season was when some businessman bound for Cardiff bought me a pint at Paddington as we waited for our trains. The Mutley socks run a very close second. Other than that it just seemed to be 72 hours of being catered to. I really felt less involved with Christmas this year than I ever have before and this led to feeling like a burden which is about the worst I can feel. My sad collection of personality faults apparently doesn't wear well during the so called happy season.

Nothing makes me feel better than being to say "business as usual". Welcome back real world, you are a beautiful and welcome place.

Thankfully few people feel the same way about Christmas as I do.

If you do then may I suggest we arrange a vacation to Riyadh next year.
