A post I made somewhere else this evening. This isn't 100% applicable to livejournal, though I suppose replace "secret" forum with friends-only post, and you're away...Here we all are on a "secret" forum - and so we all know that various things are said on the board behind the backs of other people who come here. The nature of gossip is such that ( Read more... )

Some people on another forum were doing a "Which Muppet are you?" test and wanted me to take it too. It decided I was Kermit, and I was unimpressed. When I said I'm not a fan of Kermit or Miss Piggy, someone replied saying "What is wrong with you!?". This is my answer ( Read more... )

I have acquired some empathy for the people who are childless-not-by-choice. Not because I have suddenly acquired some desire to have human children, heaven forbid! But because there's this huge dog-shaped hole in my life that is getting bigger every day ( Read more... )

If anyone's left a Valentine's message for me on any communities, this would be the ideal place to post a link so I actually check them.

I don't think I'll be posting Valentine's messages for anyone online. Sometimes I do a generic " I wuv you all"-type post, but I'm so tired and overworked at the moment that I don't think I could find anything ( Read more... )

We were invited to something like 4 different New Year's parties, and I didn't particularly want to go to any of them. I don't celebrate this as the change of the year. All that stuff about new hopes and new starts seems entirely pointless when there's no frigging sunlight and I'm in the middle of SAD. Trying to make any kind of resolution to ( Read more... )

Recently I have been experiencing severe trouble in removing myself from bed in the mornings. I blame the sudden drop in sunlight levels ( Read more... )

I was recently the victim of an elaborate hoax. Some of you have read some of this already, but this is the full story.

The story:A couple of months ago, I started going to a couple of new Sims 2 irc channels, where I met a woman who went by the net handle of Jorenne or Jojo. A few days after I joined the channel, Jorenne said that she was ( Read more... )

Been feeling blah for a couple of days. Basically ok, but tired and a bit depressed. Having a bit of a bad patch because I'm getting to the end of my busy time at work, and the whole summer is stretching out before me, and I'm worried that I'll just waste it. When my work-for-money stops for the summer I'm supposed to do work in the home, and I ( Read more... )

You all get sick of me bitching about my health. Hell, I get sick of me bitching about my health. But the fact remains that, in contrast to some other people, I have it lucky. A mere 8 prescription medications a day is nothing compared to others, and my needle phobia would barely stand up to a permanently-implanted IV. There are no numbers that ( Read more... )

I am bloody ill. I have lurgy, of the raging sore throat and blocked ears/nose variety. There are many kinds of pain I can put up with, but I hate ear pain. Have been quite literally asleep all day. Am now forcing myself to stay awake for a bit so I can sleep tonight ( Read more... )
