That Kind of Late Shift

00:17 / 30.09.07

I'm fairly sure I'm not Australian.

I'm gonna watch BSG now, and wonder.

Probably back later.

Has the new season started?

00:24 / 30.09.07

We have a new thread for it, but I'm thinking not yet.

Didn't Number Six do Canada's Next Top Model, and from what I saw, display less performing ability there than as the sexy robot lady?

00:28 / 30.09.07

I dont know, Ive only seen 2 episodes of Canada's NTM and thought it looked so horid. Hospital harsh lighting..the halmark of anything make in Toronto.

Good evening.

00:36 / 30.09.07

Ah, the pioneer of P-ology! Howya.

00:37 / 30.09.07

Oh, I forgot about P-ology. That was just a Phase.

00:38 / 30.09.07

I’m feeling kind of numb and empty and indifferent to pretty much everything and everyone. Ah, shite. I think I actually preferred the unrequited love thing.

00:42 / 30.09.07

I think Stoatie’s on the right track. I shall spend tomorrow with my cats. And see horsey.

Did I miss something? IM, what brought this about?

00:46 / 30.09.07

Cats rule. I miss having a cat.

My sister just acquired a kitten, but as they're over 150 miles away therapeutic petting is going to be a stretch.

00:47 / 30.09.07

i will admit that some cats do indeed rule. Some are just elitist a**holes!!

01:12 / 30.09.07

Did I miss something? IM, what brought this about?

Um. It's kind of been going for a while. There's a song about it. And a couple of blogs.

Found it!

01:13 / 30.09.07

The ongoing saga...

But nevermind. I'm going to bed.

01:19 / 30.09.07

So, I no go out tonight. At all.

Except I did go out and then got a call to, um, go back in. I need to know people who sleep with better, less possessive and jealous people. Because the reality is messing up my having fun. And it's all about me, of course.

01:26 / 30.09.07

cant you take your person with you?

01:28 / 30.09.07

That doesn't sound good.

I wish I could give you some advice but I'm not much of an expert when it comes to relationships.

01:30 / 30.09.07

See, I spend so much time being pissed off about being single that I rarely stop to think about how that's a lot better in many ways...

01:34 / 30.09.07

I think I would struggle in a relationship. I’m far too used to not having to make compromises.

01:41 / 30.09.07

I could take them all with me, arguably, but it'd begin to look like a harem.

Two different options of something to do and both thwarted by jealous boyfriends, and both the man and woman I would've been seeing wish to preserve the peace of their situations, which means placating the bfs who like me apparently as much as I like them.

If I were better at that whole thing, I might advise them, but as I'm not... I'll just sit here with a whisky and coffee and be grateful I'm not in their shoes.

01:47 / 30.09.07

Sometimes, whiskey and coffee is just enough to make things bearable.

Right now Im sticking with plonk(crap wine) and thoughts of better times.

01:57 / 30.09.07

A friend pointed out recently that I start to sound like a bad translation of Wuthering Heights when I get onto relationships and entanglements. She may've been frighteningly right, but really, one ought to be able and willing to tolerate a lot of things (and people) for the sake of their SOs pleasure, barring any real intrusions or violations of interpersonal-contract. Or, y'know, demonstrate a small bit of - even faked for politeness - faith in their SO.

Indignant. Yes.

But, really. I can tolerate, I can keep my mouth shut and let things ride, but I don't think I'm very good at being placatory at all. Even when sex is involved. (And I wonder why I'm single.)

02:15 / 30.09.07

so..anything Good happening in my fellow shifters lives?

02:16 / 30.09.07

Erm... I went to a friend's birthday and am now very drunk and have a pizza about to come out of the oven and will sleep soon?

...those are all good, right?

02:18 / 30.09.07

Ah, I'm a moody bastard. But I just got a callback re: tonight's exciting adventure, and we're on for tomorrow, instead. So it's all good. For me, anyway.

02:20 / 30.09.07

That is a triumvirate of good, Stoatie! Party: drunk: pizza: tripartite triumph, with sleep as it's topper.

02:20 / 30.09.07

Just goes to prove: wait long enough and good things will abound.

Except for me.
(exception to prove the rule and all that crap)

hehehe

02:29 / 30.09.07

Ah, tomorrow, when I realise once more that I'm a lonely alcoholic, will no doubt suck. But sleep is gonna be ACE, and I've just necked a couple of Nurofen so I at least won't wake up in pain. I'll be thirsty, but my head shouldn't be hurting.

And all else aside, I have STUPID AMOUNTS OF OPERA to look forward to. Rheingold Tuesday, Walkure Thursday, Siegfried Sunday and Gotterdammerung the following Tuesday. I reckon that in twelve days time I'll be all Wagnered out, but it should be cool getting there.

02:34 / 30.09.07

I realise once more that I'm a lonely alcoholic

You too, eh?

we should start a cobination AA/singles group.

I am going to a single's dance tomorrow night with a gf for fun. Currently, I couldn't give a rat's patootie whether or not I actually "met" someone. Not sure why she is going, but I am more interested in observing. It's more of a study in human behaviour.

Yeah. That's it.

02:43 / 30.09.07

we should start a cobination AA/singles group.

FUCK YEAH!!!

Anyway, I'm off to bed- it's quarter to five in the morning, and while I don't actually have anything planned for tomorrow, it'd be a shame to miss it entirely!

G'night, and I promise I'll be less grumpy next time I hit the late shift!

(edited to add this bit- Hi, MO... sorry, I'm about to sleep and I now feel awfully rude. But have a good Shift anyway!)

Papess

02:49 / 30.09.07

Stoats, good night sweetie. Maybe I lull you to sleep with my ...GGGGHHHH!

02:58 / 30.09.07

Sadly, I too am going to sleepland

g'night all.
