Lateawwwwwwpooo.. Some SQL errors are tasy. We need a life!

I hate to admit it, but kids can be really funny. A few months back I tok the DVD of the Bad Seeds doing "Babe I'm On Fire" round to lilly's house, only for her (then) 18-month-old daughter to launch into a perfect imitation of the Nick Cace dance. It was wicked!

01:15 / 30.01.04

Sometimes I want everyone who's telling me I need a job/ career/ degree to fuck off, so I can go and have some kids, and for that to be what I do for a while. Not yet. But in everybody's scheme of how my life should be, this is never a feature. Hell, one day I want to be a housewife, or rather a housemother. One of the simplest ambitions I have, and nobody seems to think its a particuarly feesable idea.

Right. Where's my millionaire gone?
(Oh shit, I told him to leave me alone the other day. Never mind, there's always another.)

Im off to bed my loves, so sleep tight. x

Dear god, I can't think of anything nastier than having to carry a thing around inside you for 9 months while it fucks with your entire body, giving birth to it over an uncertain period of hours, quite a few of those hours sending painpainpain through your body and then having a screaming thing at the end. Christ and the idea of abortion- erk. I don't know which is worse. If I have children it will be an accident.

01:11 / 01.02.04

Sorry. My ovaries are getting the better of me. I find never-ever wanting kids utterly bizzare though. Anyway, I was speaking with specofdust about my ideal mating partner. Tall to combat my midgetism, muscley, preferably black to rid children of shining bluey white skin, so we came up with Steve Frew. I met him when I was 9. Commonwealth gold medallist. I think my mother would approve. We just have to tell him...

Just now, Im basking in the loveliness of the wandering notebook thread that i somehow overlooked. Isnt it lovely.

01:15 / 01.02.04

Yes...it is lovely. Lovelyness abounds tonight. Im at home. The wine is flowing...and when is it not? Good times kids, good times.

01:24 / 01.02.04

Heehee. Theres a right scaffy pub in inverness called the Keg, full of alcoholics at 8.40am when I pass it. Keggers + wine = Keg resident. But it was an idea full of loveliness, the book. I have a particular like for black hardback spiral bound notebooks with thick paper. Christ. Perhaps a subject for the what's your kink thread. Anyway, I look forward to seeing it or its successors in about 3 years. I'll still be hanging in there, just so i can use some glue.

Im off to bed now, my lovelies. x

Goodnight GB!

(pshaw! Waiting for a reason to use glue! There's always a reason to use glue as glue needs no reason!!!)

Gosh, I can't think of an ideal mating partner... someone who never had acne, I never did and I wouldn't want children doomed with that. Sporty would be good for them but I'd probably want to mash the sperm bank's head in with a frying pan. Sport's really not my thing.

What type of glue?

01:33 / 01.02.04

The wine has been finished in this house, but streams of whiskey are flowing. Better days must surely come our way,

Any type of glue is amazing but I've always liked rubber cement. Not only does it smell good and makes a very bouncy ball when dried it gives off a delightful glow when set aflame. 2nd choice is regular white glue because when it dries on your hand you can peel it off like layers of skin and pretend you're one of the aliens in V!

01:49 / 01.02.04

You can’t beat a bit of Gloy. But if you want to get high you need the industrial strength glue they use to make model aeroplanes.

01:56 / 01.02.04

If you want to get high you use drugs. If you want to become a braindead moron...use gasoline. I think glue is somewhere in between. But closer to gas.

My sister told me that when she was back in primary school, the teachers made a big announcement that they were concerned that some kids were sniffing glue and getting high. The reaction of the class of course was "You can get high from sniffing glue? Cool!"

Thanks for reminding me I have wine in the fridge!

Glue story #2: While taking a bus from Toronto to Alaska, my friend's suitcase handle broke. So, 6am in Sault Ste Marie, Ontario, we bought some crazy clue and proceeded to glue the suitcase back together. Some of the glue spilled onto her jeans during this, and we didn't take notice... until her trousers began to smoke, as the glue was eating through her clothes! Scary stuff, that glue...

03:17 / 01.02.04

That reminds me of the time I got some homemade skreetch from Newfoundland and my brother spilt some on his boot and it started to eat throught the leather. He claims it also caused the paint to peel on his car.

19:17 / 01.02.04

I prefer your normal primary school PVA. I covered my hands in it on purpose any opportunity I got. I always peeled it off on the way home in the car. For years my mum still thought I had excema, long after it had gone.

Option 1- Inverness. Boring, safe option, easy, cheap.
Option 2- Edinburgh. Nice, change, expensive.
Option 3- Germany. New, exciting, faraway, scary.

What dya reakon?

21:13 / 01.02.04

Option 1. You kidding? Sneckie is nice for tourists, but only for a weekend.
Option 2. Embra. Yeah! (Only if you don't mind debt)
Option 3. Hmm. Einfach klasse! Give it a go. There'll be a welcome in Embra if it goes horrible.

I vote Germany so I can live vicariously through you.

When I was small, our school wasn't big with the budget, so everyone was just supposed to bring a jar from home and mix flour and water to make paste. It was truly putrid by year's end.

Baz Auckland

21:23 / 01.02.04

I would go for #3, just because it would be an adventure... why Germany?

21:32 / 01.02.04

Go to Germany. It's cool. (But be warned... they're a bit weird- they speak German for a start! What's with that?)

Seriously. Germany's nice. Whereabouts you thinking of?

21:45 / 01.02.04

Nice for a weekend? I've been near Sneckie for 17 fucking years! But your probably right. The lot of you. And mixmage and sttab too. I should. Its scary. Im a wuss. But I should. Can I go without a job? I'll be scuppered.

Ive been writing to a girl kinda near Munich for 4 or 5 years now. Itd be nice to be nearish someone i can call if in a panic. I speak enough german to get by, I think.

Anyone else lived abroad?

21:50 / 01.02.04

Oh and I quite mind getting into debt. I have a boopf of savings, and I dont mind piddling them away, but I dont want to get into debt. Oh yeah. And I dont think my bank lets me overdraw. And I cant get credit cards til October. Man, this is wanky.

Mazarine

21:59 / 01.02.04

Never lived abroad, darling, never been to Germany, but it surely sounds interesting.

22:39 / 01.02.04

I think I have. For a day. When I was 2. But suprisingly I cant remember it. I do, however, remember being in Denmark on the same trip and going to Legoland. The houses were the same size as me. I didnt know what was going on, but i thought it was all very strange.

Does nobody have any exciting news? Either that or some exciting website about something interesting, or a good timewasting thingimmy? Im a bit bored.

Well, seeing as how I recall you saying What the hell is Homestar Runner? you could do worse than check out www.homestarrunner.com (sorry, I'm at work and don't have my handy cut-n-paste html guide on my desktop). I promise you won't regret it.

Well, we unveiled the six foot cat tree to my new kittens, and they love it. They've been wild little things the past couple days, tearing around the apartment, and Odile has taken to styling my hair while I sleep. They're growing like weeds, and Sage just keeps getting sweeter and sweeter. Odile remains a varmint, but I wouldn't have her any other way. She is incredibly staticky and picks up all sorts of dust and requires nigh-constant grooming.

Oh, and she decided to dip her paws in the tub while I was having a bath. It was adorable, her paws (which have extra fluff between the toes) were drenched but she didn't care.

That's as exciting as I've got, pictures will be coming shortly. : )

02:59 / 02.02.04

Can I play or is this a closed playground? I'm on vacation and don't have to work on anything or sleep for a while...

And I haven't been anywhere, gingerbop, so I think you should go to the place that is most different from your life now.

Solitaire Rose as Tom Servo

03:06 / 02.02.04

Course you can play. How are you?
And Maz, make with the kitten pictures already!

03:27 / 02.02.04

I'm doing OK. Have the next three days off, started playing Knight of the Old Republic and am WAY ahead on the webstrip I'm writing and actually caught up on all of my e-mail.

It's been a while since I've read up on Barbelith, so I feel like I'm coming out of a long trance and finding the world is a bit different than when I went to sleep.

03:44 / 02.02.04

Like the webstrip! Nice one.

Ahhh... KOTOR. What a marvellous game that is. I've only just started it, but it's rocking.

Smoothly

22:16 / 02.02.04

I'm feeling flat. Flat, I say. Flatter than a flat-pack flat.
Any Lateshifters feel able to put some soda in my stream? I want to effervesce, godammit. Effervesce!

22:27 / 02.02.04

OOoh, cant wait too see mad kittens pictures!

I am a girl with a plan.
I need to stay here til may 2nd for a gym thing. On Wednesday I am going to an "open day for a few of the applicants" of a job in our local newspaper office. So an interview then? Im not sure. If I were to get this job, I'd see if I liked it, meanwhile applying for my job I want in the Generator hostel in Berlin (oooh, cheapy live-in accomodation perhaps. Shiny.) and get my friend I write to to check over my germanified CV. If I were offered a summer job there, and dont *love* the newpaper job, I'll up stick and leave. If I love the newspaper (or whatever job around here), then Im scuppered.

And I'll go to Edinburgh on Sunday for a wee sniff aorund, just to confuse myself.

I love being all footloose and fancy free.

Some days I just sit around regretting not being informed of the big sale the store was having on DVDs. I've come down with an unquenchable thirst for Labrynth. Now I've got to rewatch the dvds I've already bought.
Other times I think that I should be putting my cash towards important things like photography equipment and wacom tablets or just go out to all the antique and junk shops looking for bric-a-brac for my tarot cards. Arrrgh!!!
ps. Hi everybody!

00:18 / 03.02.04

I am now offically at the point where I have so many DVDs that I will not have time in my life to watch them all.

Damn my love for cheap, shitty horror movies.
