Freakcity

Felt crappy at work Thursday evening. Vaguely sick and sweaty – Adam had been home all day throwing up, so I just figured it’d be that...Phoned James on the way home and he told me he’s been asked to work the weekend and so can’t visit. Poo. Got home and had an earlyish night, got up Friday as usual...

Left work fairly punctually. Headed to the LSE to pay Owen and pick up my clothes. £200 in exchange for a bag of shorts and tshirts must have looked very odd.

No surprises as to who won. Mark Thomas was fab as ever and the presentation was slick as possible, considering the lights kept ...

Just had my quarterly review. Went dead well. Yay me. I rock 😊

Went to William’s for “dinner” which consisted of bitter and guinness down the pub with him, Harry, Zaty and Harvey, whom I’ve not seen in about 4 years. Sat in a pub in Battersea called the Cat something or other that was lovely! Zaty has far more bits for his EOS300 than me. Tsk.

Talked abo...

Completely failed to get Owen’s No2Id thing finished. Going to attempt it at lunch over Terminal Services. Fun! Am going to the Big Brother awards on Weds, which should be fun. Off to William’s tonight for food and stuff. Have camera with me, going to try and find the post office at lunch and po...

Now I have an empty hole where my keyboard once was. And I’m eating donuts. It’ll all end in tears 😢

UNATTENDED BAG! UNATTENDED BAG! UNATTENDED BAG! Etc. Oh the fun.

On a tube wearing sandals. With a scope toe. Yay. There’s a muscle mary opposite me wearing a cream cotton suit and muddy trainers to accentuate his tan. Rah. And a woman wearing sheer underwear is thrusting her arse in my face. Wi...

Hm. Random moodswings are kinda fun.

Sold camera, need to go out and waste more film today so I can send it off to the nice man. Don’t think he’d want my photies in it.

Am sad to see it go, but I need the money, so no choice really...

Met a nice man yesterday called Lloyd...he left this mor...

And this is what it’s*meant* to look like 😡 Just sold my camera on eBay. Feel dead inside. Mostly I want to curl up and hide and just not talk to anyone at all. Plus my toe is icky and vile and I need to put it in...

I go into hospital in 6 hours.

Ronnie has moved to Manchester.

James has possibly found a new man.

Adam has split with Simon.

My laptop has broken *again*.

My flat is a tip.

My mind is melting.

I am sat here, being driven by the power of music. And I just want to escape. This is not good.

...

Very quiet in the office. No-one running around, more slow wandering than anything else. Lots of people telling each other very quietly that their heads are fine thankyouverymuch. Bless 😉

Adam stayed up all night playing with the computer, I shall have to spank him later as that kinda thing’s ba...

Dullish day doing bugs...Then the company barbecue after. Free bar, vodka sleuch (if that’s how you say it) and lots and lots of very very nice food 😊

Think Dave was a bit sleuched by the end. But he’s off now for a week so I doubt he’ll care until the morning.

Chatted with Phil lots who sugg...

Didn’t make it to Retro last night. Tried phoning NewJames and his phone was off. Grr. OldJames has a job, gives me mixed feelings...Given that much of my problem with him had to do with him not having one I’m kinda wistful about it as I sort of wish it’d have happened earlier so we could have tried...

New phone arrived. Underwhelmed with Nokia’s vCard support – every time I sent it my phonebook it only ever picked up the first bit. Tsk. Copied it to the T3, weeded out the crap, then sent them via Bluetooth one by one to the 6230.

Bugfixing at work.*piles* of them. All registered to me and abo...

Cor. My Palm appears to have totally reset itself rather bizarrely!

So I’m writing this in BabyWord...hopefully I won’t accidentally lose it all or something 😁

Arrived at the campsite at about 9:45pm. Uneventful drive – late setting off because Adam was late (unshocker) and Alasdair and Ben wer...

Random bugfixing going on. Most of which is simple. Lunch at 1pm in the rather lovely Riverside Café. Had duck in black bean sauce 😊

My first week at the company I go out for drinks with my line manager, Rach, and we’re talking about random things and I mention “furries” and the strange people f...

Left work at about 3ish. Knackered, so shouldn’t have stayed up that late. Arranged to spread my half day over today and tomorrow.

Met Adam at the station. We were supposed to be having lunch but he didn’t arrive until 4. Tsk. Dirty stopout. So we wandered around Hammersmith plotting world domina...

I’m a tad late. I got to bed at 4am. Oops! Fun night though. Felt crap about arguing with James. I know I have reasons for being pissed off an all, but I’ll never force him to understand the bits he chooses to put down to me being a jealous ex lover...

Need to break out of this pattern we’re in. ...

Phil’s stomach is all owchie So busy at work the last two days. Lunch at 4pm isn’t fun....

Walked past a woman yesterday ranting about how she loved Robbie Williams to two policemen. Loudly. "That fucking N...

Didn’t do too much on Thursday as we were both knackered. Logged on to shagdar to see a message from James he sent whilst we were in the sauna explaining his PC was broken and he’d only just got my message about Leeds and inviting me over if I had time. Felt bad about that coz it was so sweet 😞 – S...

Been too busy to stick anything in this thing. My subtle and cunning plan to finish Freakcity over my holiday failed. I used the laptop I dragged to Leeds a grand total of once!

After getting back from Manchester we wandered for a bit. Bumped into a courtyard party at Queens Court. Phoned Gaz an...

Arrived at 10pm having been forced to run for a train by Dan’s inability to be on time like ever. Was almost dead. Rude man on train moaned because we didn’t have tickets, and when I asked if I could pay by cheque he said “you can pay by card if you like” and so I asked if I could pay by cheque, and...

Went to Leeds. Went to London. Back in Leeds. Got lots of work done last week. Yay.

Remind me to write about it some time :D:D

Got home at 8ish last night. Phoned by Tom, who wanted pics done. Very cute! Spent some time putting all the bits into Dee’s PC to make the upgrade work. Need to buy more RAM, because I yanked the middle out of Manny to do it. Showed Adam what the bits in a PC do. He has decided that north bridg...

Being empathic is interesting. If you are careful, you can get an idea of the “you” that you project to others from strangers' impressions of you. It’s disturbing, as it’s not ever how you percieve yourself. I suspect that if one was to work at it, one could achieve the magic of an external self ima...
