SHIFT! LATE! SHIFT! LATE! MONSTERS! MONSTERS!

And I'm just drunk enough to actually make the jest rather than saying Christ on a Bike! and clicking the back button instead of "Post Reply".

01:07 / 12.02.06

I should really go to bed judging by the awful hangovers I've been having recently.

I feel like an old man.

01:08 / 12.02.06

I agree.

You're not as fleshy and supple to the touch as you once were.

01:08 / 12.02.06

I mean....

"Christ on a bike!"

01:09 / 12.02.06

BUT IT'S TRUE

I'll never find love again.

01:15 / 12.02.06

Sure you're not just being melodramatic?

01:18 / 12.02.06

I'm never melodramatic. Everything I say is so serious it's deadly.

I mean deadly serious.

You know what I mean.

I mean business.

01:20 / 12.02.06

Pffft. Yeah right.

I'm still waiting for you to consume Keggereseses ankles.

01:22 / 12.02.06

Where do you think he is, boy? That's right. Stuck in the wilderness, crawling to his keyboard.

He's got a long way to go.

01:26 / 12.02.06

Consume his ankles?

Are you suggesting Suedey may be some form of thigh-eating pussy preacher?

01:28 / 12.02.06

It puts the lotion on its ankles or it gets the hose again!

I'm away to shleep the night away now.

I love you.

I love you all.

01:29 / 12.02.06

I think I should go to bed now, but allow me to offer some final thoughts (for the day).

Robbie Savage. Ha ha ha ha ha. I love Robbie Savage. It's like if somebody from Roy of the Rovers was real. Now, I've never read that comic, but if there's any other football player with a more apt "sounds like its made up" name and who acts like more of a cartoon/comic villain character then I will be shocked. I saw him have a fight with his own goalkeeper once. If somebody were to make a film like dodgeball, but about football, he would be Ben Stiller.

I know about pain. I read a Terry Pratchett book the other day. It was like reading a blank bit of paper. Possibly with a book proposal on. In invisible ink. By a thirteen year old.

01:31 / 12.02.06

Stop copying me, Mel!

G'night sir stoat!

01:33 / 12.02.06

G'night, kids. Sweet dreams. And spare a thought for me being at work on a Saturday cocking night.

(Actually, I've hardly done a damn thing since I got here... I'm just scared someone will notice).

The five year old had a melt down.
Then we discovered she'd not only painted a large smiley face on the carpet in her room, but the inside of the closet was all bescribbled.
Needless to say, this didn't help the meltdown.

So while my girlfriend's dealing with that, I am cooking dinner (Turtles - pilsbury crescent roll dough wrapped around a stick of asparagus, some cheese (brie or gouda) and ham. Granny Smith apple slices optional).

The five year old was not amused by the cute name. She knew yucky food when she saw it. So, suffering bite after suffering bite, she let us know how much she hated it. Until eventually, she pulled the crispy asparagus out of the gooey cheesy ham-fuilled croissant.

...and ate only the asparagus. Totally refused to touch the rest.

I am totally baffled, here.

What? Asparagus is delicious.

I am insomniac, adrenaline-ridden and fucking happy. I did something amazing yesterday. Something that I'd never have believed that I could do.

I have a whole new aspect on my life, capabilities and talents.

And oh my god, I am, and this is e'er so rare, FUCKING proud of myself.

Insomnia blows.

GGMeme, would you want to elaborate on that story? We've got all night.

3:04 AM my time and I am fucking drunk as fuck. I have to be at work at 9:00 AM. Yes. Fucking drunk and randy and horny. Played Ping-Pong and drank homemade beer. Went to a "pizzeria" and was kicked out. Fun fun fun. Watched the Olympics. Michelle Kuan dropped out just half an hour ago. Press conference 5:30 AM (New York time)

Yeah, share the gladness with us, GGM. Or have you finally drifted off to sleep?

I have just woken up from a disturbed night with lots of dreams but the last was the best. I was working undercover, doing research for the scientists on the 'Lith, at the orders of the Queen of Barbelith (a cross between Mordant Carnival and Tilda Swinton). This required me to go into deep cover for long spells and Ganesh had begun to wonder what I was up to. It was like a Rock Hudson / Doris Day romcom, scripted by LeCarré. Forgetting all the details already, in the cold Winter light of morning.

Yesterday was BiFest.

I had a wonderful wonderful team, but this was my project from start to finish. MINE.

It was *wonderful*.

We were hoping for 40/50 people. At one point last week I seriously thought that it might have been 20.

We got 130!!!

A complete mix of Brighton and national bi scenesters, and a huge number of local people who'd never been to a bi event before.

And our wonderfully supportive Pride reps. Who were amazed/thanking me.

I know how lifechanging my first bi event was. I think I may have worked some of that magic yesterday. little old me. wtf?

I feel today, like I did the best pills ever last night.

I'm a bit fragile, happily emotional and my cheeks hurt from smiling almost constantly for 14 hours.

I am SO FUCKING proud of myself.

See also:

-the first bi event I ever heard of and attended was only 3 years ago.
-our bi group is only two years old.
-my team was mainly drawn from those sources.
-I 'ran' my team in a very different way to the two other Bifest organisers. I did it in MY way. And it bloody worked.
-none of us had ever done this before.
-from deciding to do it to yesterday=2 1/2 months.

Hi all. I think this is the earliest I've ever lateshifted but c'est la vie. Im stuck out in the country, enjoying delightful -20c weather, leaky roofs (now fixed) and annoying a**holes on quads who think that racing through the streets make them really totally kewl. I just got semi decent internet access a day or so ago and I am completely jonzing for normal human contact.

Shrug

18:35 / 12.02.06

Hey Keggers! I know too well the gah!!! annoyance of street racing bikers, sympathies for that.
I am intermittently reading some Gabriel Garcìa Marquez novel in Spanish. Least to say "me duele mi cabeza".

Saint Keggers

18:43 / 12.02.06

Hey Despicable Shrug,

The bikers are pretty damn annoying here. Its a small village with one main road and they all have nothing better to do then spend their time going up and down the road. I'm about 5 minutes aways from digging tiger pits.
AS for reading, the only things I've read have been in either english or french. Although I did take a spanish class in college it didn't stick.

Shrug

19:13 / 12.02.06

Ah sorry for not being much good on the normal human contact stuff but off out. Tiger pits sounds good though, eh?

alas

19:25 / 12.02.06

Bon jour, Monsier le Kegs! I've actually just been trying to teach myself French in preparation for un voyage a Provence et Paris. I studied Spanish in college, so right now I'm just muddled in both. Anyway, c'est tres bon de tu voir encore! (I'm really not sure I got that right....and there's undoubtedly a more idiomatic way of saying that I'm happy to see you again, ....)
