Reasons why your life is great.

Some random great things I like about my life-

The odds of me meeting my wonderful partner were infinitesimally small. But I did anyway

I've got some fantastic friends who are totally on the same wavelength.

My french psychologist mother carefully raised me not to have hang-ups about sex. About the only thing she did carefully when raising me, but I am very thankful for it.

I live in a beautiful country (scotland).

I have excellent relationships with my brothers.

I've eaten my french grandmothers fantastic food.

I have family across two continents who are incredibly kind to me.

The internet provides me with access to music I could only have dreamed of at 15.

I've always had a strong sense of my will.

I'm tenacious.

Time really does heal.

It's shaping up to be a hot summer, yay!

My birthday is coming up.

I've got some bright red hair dye in the bathroom.

My cousin might be a spy. How cool is that?

14:12 / 13.05.04

I have just brought an excellent new book on Tantra and it is very fine.

I am going to booze in good company all weekend.

Me and my partner are currently cooking the finest curries this side of Uttar Pradesh.

I brought a Maytals CD for £2.99(!) last weekend. Even better is that fact that I wasn't going to buy it and went back to it. I danced like an idiot to it last night and a now going to go and look up the lyrics to "Sweet and Dandy". You should download it.

I did some drawing last night for the first time in living memory and it didn't suck major ass, and enthused me to do some more.

I have a new flat in the best location ever, with lovely curry cooking partner.

Only 3 1/2 months to go of suckass job before I go back to college!

How can you not love a record that goes "One pound ten for the wedding cake, Plenty bottle of cola wine!" It fucking rules!

Now that's what I like to read! happy happy!!

Here's a list in the guise of Nobody's:

The odds of me meeting a wonderful partner are infinitesimally small. But I might yet

Fantastic friends, fantastic friends....

My mother carefully raised me to have psychological hang-ups about sex, dirt, people, danger and vegetables, but I have managed to overcome almost all of them. I'm still thankful.

I have a dire relationship with my brother, but it's slowly getting better.

I have eaten my grandmother's uniformly awful food... and lived.

The internet provides me with access to music I could only have dreamed of at 15.

I am developing a sense of my will.

I'm becoming less tenacious (in a good way)

Time really does heal!

It's shaping up to be a hot summer, and I'm going to spend it cycling around Ireland with a small guitar ... not a fridge... yay!!

My birthday is coming up, it's the year of the monkey, and I am one. Firing on all cylinders!

I have stopped murdering my hair with dye, so that I might dye it again in later life

My cousin is a pig farmer

Huzzah!

14:23 / 13.05.04

I have a date in about one hours time.

I will probably be posting on the Fucked-Up thread by about midnight tonight, but... well you never know.

14:26 / 13.05.04

I still have all of my hair and teeth! I have never developed an alochol or drug problem! my ass does not itch, AT ALL! I have NEVER HAD A FUNGAL INFECTION!

I will get a paycheck tomorrow, I will eat lunch in a half an hour, I will go home at 5!

I may hate my job, but at least I have one! no one has ever called me HAIRY or STINKY!

oh there is ever so much to be thankful for...

ONLY NICE THINGS

14:29 / 13.05.04

The shrews have returned to me, and have brought with them baby voles, which are like tiny heavy velevet purses full of warm.

Oh yes.

14:30 / 13.05.04

I am a god with an elephant head.

Hooray!

14:33 / 13.05.04

My cousin is a pig farmer Huzzah!

Pig farmers are always funny.

14:36 / 13.05.04

Good luck Alex!

The odds of me meeting my wonderful partner were infinitesimally small. But I did anyway. And he can cook like a demon.

I've got some fantastic friends who are totally on the same wavelength, and coming out drinking this weekend.

I'm about to move home to Scotland - hurray!

I'm going to start an exciting new job that's currently scaring me silly but that [firm-self-talk] will be fabulous [/f-s-t]

I'm going to France next week to lie by a pool.

I have a great relationship with my family.

I'm about to buy a new bike - whee!

14:38 / 13.05.04

I know a god with an elephant's head!
I don't know any voles, though. Must fix that.

14:44 / 13.05.04

My cousin is a pig farmer Huzzah!

He tried to join the Navy, but wasn't clever enough

so he put on three stone and started farming pigs. Happiest (and funniest) he's ever been.

14:52 / 13.05.04

I've just dound out there's an Asian theatre compnay called The Funjabi's.

14:57 / 13.05.04

my thankfulness is being overshadowed by my voleless sadness.

15:10 / 13.05.04

Easy there, this thread's for positivity. Remember, you may not have voles but at least you don't have crabs.

Anyways, back on subject: One of my best friends is getting married in Cornwall this weekend. Huzzah! 16 hours travel by coach all told, but still, this is going to be great. Hooray for her!

pointless and uncalled for

15:19 / 13.05.04

I cycle to work in the morning. It's faster than the bus and all the people in cars wish they were going as fast as me.

I just got more Sage Francis on CD.

You've read this post, which gives me the small amount of attention I crave.

15:20 / 13.05.04

i have a job that pays decently, esp. considering my relative lack of expenses.

i can dance in clubs w/o making a fool of myself, and i can also carry a tune.

i survived coachella, with its 107 degree heat and camping in the desert. i got to see the pixies.

i just got my finger- and toe- nails painted yesterday. my little nublins on my fingers are bright red.

my estranged best friend from high school and i have been exchanging e-mails after a 5 year silence.

most of the roaches i see in my apartment now are dead.

i've been doing really well w/r/t curbing my sugar addiction the past month.

i'm moving to california, to live 5 blocks from the beach!!

Goodness Gracious Meme

I made fabulous food for friends last night. *I* cook like a dream.

In about ten minutes, I'm getting a haircut. For nought pence. It Will Rock. There will be fringes. And asymmetry. yay.

I am wearing a sexy outfit and feel hottt.

I live in (now i've tidied it!) a beautiful flat that is 100yards from the sea in a fab city.

Weather is niiiiiiice, not mega hot but fun to be out in.

I got a surprise Thai Massage today, for £1. Stretchy goodness.

I seem to have misplaced my drinking trousers and found my smoking jacket. Which is fun and a change.

My friends rock harder than anyone else's. They're amazing and exciting and supportive and yummy.

My uncle is responding really well to post-stroke physiotherapy, and I got him to smile for the first time since the stroke.

Things with family are better than they have been recently.

15:54 / 13.05.04

Im currently drinking a damn fine cup of coffee. Let the day continue as it is now.

18:16 / 13.05.04

I look so goddamn good in a suit even I find it hard to look at. I look like Bruce friggin' Wayne. Yessir.

18:31 / 13.05.04

I've borrowed a digital dictophone(sp?) and it makes me sound like Kirstie Allsop! Yay!

18:55 / 13.05.04

My fiancee and I have finally passed the halfway point in our sixteen month, four state, self-inflicted seperation due to grad school!

I'm going to a baseball game this weekend!

I've almost finished writing all the material for my third album!

My friends kick more butt than me (and it's not my butt that's getting kicked)!

Life is good, life is good...

19:12 / 13.05.04

I got my green belt on Tuesday, and I am ever so much calmer since I stopped reading Barbelith.

08:29 / 14.05.04

... why is my life so great?

... simple

... my 15-month old wee boy - mini-hanabius aka 'cub' - who, by his mere existance, provides me with a sense of completeness and perspective that i previously never dared hope to have

... that and he is the happiest wee laddie i've ever met

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

08:34 / 14.05.04

It's a beautifully sunny day, which means I've just had a lovely time dog-walking without getting rained on.

12:46 / 14.05.04

I'm not any of these people!

Hattie's Kitchen

12:49 / 14.05.04

Cow.

Hattie's Kitchen

12:57 / 14.05.04

So to cheer myself up, here are the things I like...

I have a piss-easy job, I don't start until 12pm which means I can go out the night before and waste even more money on booze and drugs, and I don't have to get up 'til 10am. Ahahahaha....

My ex-cat likes me more than she likes my ex, who she lives with. Yay!

One of my mates works in Sony, so I get pre-release copies of the latest games before they go on sale.

My chest gets a lot of attention, and these days, I'm grateful for any...

I can do karate, kickboxing and yoga. At the same time as well.

My niece, 12, regards me as a cool eccentric auntie and she always pesters me to take her to gay clubs when I visit her.

I've lost tons of weight.

I conquered my fear of flying by taking a solo trip to New York, and I got laid while I was there.

My, I do feel better now!

foot long subbacultcha

13:05 / 14.05.04

At the moment, life's great cos it's raining inside, not outside (upstairs' air conditioning pipes have leaked through our roof) and how can that be anything but fantastic!?

13:06 / 14.05.04

I have coffee.

I didn't have to work at 8am this morning.

In 3 days I will be in México.... ah.... eating enchiladas and climbing pyramids for 2 looong weeks...

13:30 / 14.05.04

Im eating Tacos soon
I have a beautiful girlfriend who I love
My computer rocks
The weather is hot

13:38 / 14.05.04

I'm in the longest relationship I've ever been, scary but good.

My new flat is much much nicer than I thought it was going to be.

BT's customer service were very very nice.

I've been having the most fucked up dreams which are keeping me amused.

My old Iron Maiden t-shirt that I used to wear when I was 15 fit me again, faded but useable.

I'm going to buy a ROH t-shirt and wear it with pride.

I should have Broadband connected on the 19th which means I can get back to wrestling/Angel/movie goodness.

I have a collection of Japanese movies to watch at my lesuire.

I still have the rest of Read or Dream to watch at my lesuire.

My PC was setup this week and still works super fast.

It's sunny and I'm about to go to the pub!

15:19 / 14.05.04

The, well, situation I was on about earlier could have turned out quite a lot worse than it actually did.

I'm pretty glad that it didn't, AND I've got a beer sitting directly in front of me, here in the garden, and it seems like leading a totally degenerate lifestyle is still kind of ok.

16:18 / 14.05.04

My wife and I just did a play reading of a two-person script for a little theater we love.

Im going to spend my summer around campfires with fantastic musicians and madmen .

My wife is an I-ching oracle/ football fan who plays computer games with me and brings me to ego-shattering levels of ecstacy.

I have a pint of cake batter ice cream with butterfinger and brownie bits in the freezer.

16:22 / 14.05.04

I have a pint of cake batter ice cream with butterfinger and brownie bits in the freezer.

I just been shown what I need to achieve a state of perfect bliss.
