I appreciated it. I mean there's only so much serious you can take in the face of Dawson's Creek and imminent marriage to Tom Cruise.

Ahhh Nina... you need some silliness in your life?... Join me! JOIN ME!

Anywhoo, I'm off to lie on my bed and make notes about that "Anonymity" thread I typed that I'd do. I want it to be good (better than this post anyway), hence the impending concentration, and though I'll be using a black pen, I'll try and make sure I don't stray into silliness or darkness.

Hope I get to sleep eventually. My body-clock is screwed, as bloody always, and I'm down to my last few quid so I'll have to go out and earn some of that horrible green stuff soon, which means normal hours.

Damn it! Infernal weather! Mind you, at least I've got something else to blame for a change; gets my usual nagging, self-doubt, guilt off my back for a wee while, anyway.

NIght John-boys and girls!

Right, the Tennants Extra crowd seem to have taken their argument with the sky-people elsewhere. All's quiet on the westend front. Time to try the bed thing. Goodnight, and a dollop of hot sticky love to all of you.

To describe London as a heat exchanger is a smirch on the good name of the noble Dr. Seligman. Just had to say that. Late shift started early for me today.

'tis certainly a mite warm.

If anyone from last night (after I went to bed) is still about, I feel I should point out that yesterday's Sun had a great picture of Mr Cruise being watered- only it didn't look like water from a fake microphone... the word "bukkake" sprang, unbidden, to mind. And the whole office became incredibly inefficient as thirty-odd people gathered round my monitor to piss themselves laughing.

Anyone about? I went out this afternoon on a simple mission- to change my NIN receipt for NIN tickets. But, of course, we stayed in the pub too long. Then I fell asleep on the bus.
Yet again, I'm drinking beer and watching horror movies (tonight iot's Stuart Gordon's "Dagon").

Who's with me?

I said, WHO'S WITH ME???

I'm pretty cheerful, I'm trying to write but instead I've ended up purging my computer of unnecessary files. How are you?

Sitting here drinking this PG13 "absinthe" that I got at the Liquor Barn. Packs a rather pleasant buzz, though.

How is everyone? We want stories, dammit!

Once upon a time there was a girl who sat in a very warm kitchen, typing away at her keyboard in loose pajamas. I say, she thought to herself, I could really do with a glass of water right now. So she stood up, walked to the sink and poured water from the tap into a glass.

God, stories? Way too drunk and tired for stories. But a big halloooo.
Ah! Food ready. Time for bad horror movie...

That's always fun. End up anywhere good? The best part is explaining to Ticket Guy "yeah, I was drugged... by train ninjas"

I am like, a space station of itchiness, Liger. Mostly located in my right eyeball. Damn hayfever.

00:26 / 22.06.05
Nah, woke up in Seven Sisters. Not as much fun as it sounds.
Hmm. I'm thinking I should say "fuck it" to the movie, chuck the rest of my current beer away and go to bed. Seems sensible.
Unless I come back later, goodnight, all!

Be thankful it wasn't train pirates.

'Night Stoats. Maybe.

I sympathise, Trips. I've been unable to breathe through my nose since midday, having decided this morning that it'd be a really clever idea to go for a nice, long walk past a whole bunch of crop fields.

Hooray for summer!

I wouldn't mind so much if my hayfever hadn't been so calm the last couple of years... Wait, that's a bit of an oxymoron, innit? I'm unhappy my hayfever's been really good? What?

What I mean is, because I've not suffered from it for a while, I've been sideswapped by the Itching Plague with no anti-histemines to back me the up. I am all about looking like one of those shit mutants from New X-Men.

So it's the 23rd of June 2005 and (according to my friend) tonight the moon is the biggest it's been in our sky for years.

So, "Hello, hello, hello. Is there anybody OUT there?"

Hey Mordant, how's your night been?

I just spent three hours with a woman who should be my beau, but (I think) doesn't realise it.
 
 
Tryphena Absent
00:23 / 23.06.05
OH NO, not another love situation!

00:23 / 23.06.05
Hmmm......I just checked my web-stats and apparently 101 people (including me) have visited my web-site this month. That's nice. Only problem is that 58.7% of visits have only been for 0-30 seconds. Hmm..... The average is 633 seconds, but is ten minutes enough to read all my stories?.... Am I doing something wrong?

Also, just seen the Chemical Brothers current video which made me think of Master Chekhov and his piece of advice to struggling writers:

"Write as much as you can!! Write, write, write till your fingers break!"

I don't think my hands can take anymore...

Sheeesh! I think I'm typing myself into depression. Huggles anyone?

I just spent three hours with a woman who should be my beau, but (I think) doesn't realise it.

Why not start a thread about it? (Joke. Don't.)

Presumably she should be your belle - unless she's impressively butch in an uber L Word kinda way...

Am I the only person on this board who enjoys the love threads (okay, more than one every two months is a bit overboard)?
 
 
paranoidwriter waves hello
00:40 / 23.06.05
LOL!

Pardon my French. She is indeed a belle, but it's her brain I want to kiss (sick as that sounds). Oh well, blurr-di-dumm, "another one bites the dust.."

I feel like Dr. Michael Hfuhruhurr. "Anne Uumellmahaye?"

And to think, I could have been a bank manager by now, or a primary school teacher, or something "normal". Don't know if I'd be happy, but at least the bailiffs wouldn't be turning up in my dreams as gangsters, vampyres, and the likes... Mind you, I'd have probably reached 55 and had a mid-life crisis, so maybe this is the right path (sorry: please, forgive my whinging 'lithers)?

Mind you, I met a decent fella in the pub earlier and we had an excellent chat about "The Art of War", Zimbabwe, Sci-fi, and other topics; and how often does that happen?
