Charles Johnson dies.

truism for today: things look better in the morning. and they do look better today.
that is in no small part due to my splendid friends who leant support either by email, phone, IM or in person. thanks guys. and yeh, I know, keep it in perspective. having thought it through, I think it is true to say that I am more upset at losing someone I’d thought I had found rather than actually losing Sarah. she is lovely, and I’m disappointed, but I can’t say that I felt anything for her as we had only met once.
so, it’s back to looking again. there is someone I’m interested in, but I’m not sure. as usual.

how is it that you can get so down after meeting someone only once?
Sarah called me this evening, and cancelled our date in a permanent kinda fashion. And sensibly too, based on the fact that we are four hours apart. She was lovely – saying how she didn’t want to do it, but she couldn’t really see how we would work when we lived so far apart.
So tonight, Matthew, I’ve been feeling pissed off over someone I met only once. I really felt that I was turning a corner. But I’ve been tripped up.
pants.

ok. the truth is out. Meg is a figment of my imagination. And I copied all the photos from a Freemans catalogue. Of course, doing the webcam was the hardest bit – the wig alone….

Once, I nearly ran over Simon Callow on my bicycle

I saw a man selling skulls in Camden market once

Robyn is upset that I seem to get all the action from the search engine terrorists, so head over to her blog and terrorize her engine (fnarr!).
and, in answer to a few recent terrorist comments, yes, I do know what an angry fruit salad is, no, not everyone thinks I am boring, and yes, some people have said my picture looks like it is from a Next catalogue.
and to make life easier for you, here is an email link. just click it, type, hit “send”. easy, huh?

momblog uk becomes tired lil brit girl – ah, bless!

forgot to do the TPL update yesterday: yet another good week (I’m on a roll here) with a pleasing 45 points, bringing my total to 821. I’ve rocketed up the league in the last few weeks to sixth place (as of last week), and I reckon I should have moved to fifth this week.

this morning, on arriving at work, we all took an extended coffee break before doing anything – and sat watching Postman Pat. Absolutely bloody hilarious – we were laughing so hard that tears were rolling down our faces. For those that know their Pat, this was the episode where Ted Glen makes a motorised parcel delivery scooter so that Pat can deliver all the parcels that have resulted from Sam’s mail order catalogue. This stuff should be on prime time.
