Well then.
I sincerely apologize to all of you for my lack of a presence around here lately. I've become just as bad at updating as ROGER. And that's pretty bad, haha. So, what's been going on with me, you ask? Where to begin...
First off, I suppose, I should tell all of you that my home was broken into. People can be bastards sometimes, and apparently stealing from a dead man isn't out of the question! I came home to find one of my basses, a gold record for Who Are You (one of my most treasured, simply because it was Moonie's last with us...), and my black diamond Boris necklace missing. I was a wreck, Moonie came to help, and he rang up Pete, who came by with Rachel. I must say that I think it was this event that actually helped to FINALLY smooth things over between her and me. She helped me quite a bit through all of it, and even helped to search shops for my missing belongings (she spotted my guitar in a shop on the southend after a photoshoot she'd done). It's a shame it took something like this for Rachel to finally accept me as a friend, but I'm glad she has (and, Pete is too, haha). All of my belongings were recovered, and nothing of true sentimental value (aside from Who Are You) had been taken. They could have taken my gold wedding band... But they didn't. It really helped me to realize what's of TRUE value to me. The interesting part of it all is that when my things were found at the shops, there was a different name given each time from the person who'd turned them in. For example, there was a "Peter Keith Rogers" and a "Roger John Peterson". We all figured out then that this person was a FAN. I couldn't believe it... It's one thing to steal, but a fan?! I was taken aback.
Pete had a security system installed for me, since I couldn't really ring in on it myself, haha. He had the same company do Quarwood as he had to secure his home in Richmond. However, it turns out, they did a shoddy job. I returned home a week and a half later around 3 in the morning to find one of the windows in my sunroom broken, and NO ALARM GOING OFF! The window sensors and motion sensor had malfunctioned and not registered anyone being there. Moonie had been with me at the time, and we ventured into my bassroom to find a man in there preparing to steal ANOTHER one of my basses! I couldn't fucking believe it. Keith bellowed at him to drop the bass, and needless to say, the man whipped around to leave and saw Keith and me standing by the door. He looked utterly terrified! hahaha. He kept asking who we were and why we looked so much like John Entwistle and Keith Moon. I wouldn't allow him to get past me while Moonie rang Pete, and Pete called the police. The police arrived and were followed shortly by Pete, who was in shambles because we'd woken him up. The man kept rattling off about how it was John Entwistle and Keith Moon who had stopped him, and that the police had to believe him! Keith and I meanwhile had made ourselves invisible again to anyone but Pete, who could see us leaning on each other in the corner laughing, trying terribly hard not to laugh himself! He said, "Well the man MUST be crazy, after all, Keith and John have been gone for years". Needless to say, the man was carted off, and has given us no trouble since *grins*
Aside from that, I've made progress on my project I've undertaken that I started quite some time ago. I'm happy with how it's turning out, though there's still quite a way for me to go on it. I may post bits of it in the near future, but I still can't tell any of you what it is that I'm working on. You'll have to remain in suspense *grins*
Hm, what else is there? Christopher and his family are doing wonderfully, though I haven't seen him in a while. He's been quite busy. Mum is doing great, as always *smiles* Roger and his family are doing well, as are Pete and Rachel. Zeus is rambunctious as always, and spoiled as ever *grins*...As for Ali... Well, I think I've finally moved on (as much as I can, I suppose). I still love her dearly, and I always will, and that will never change. But, I feel that now I can finally continue without her, and if anything is meant to be in another time, then it will be. Part of it too could be attributed to the fact that... I've met someone *smiles* But, that's all I can say for now.
I hope all of you are doing well, I've missed you all quite a lot (especially those of you whom I don't have the opportunity to speak with on AOL Instant Messenger). So, I'd love to hear how you're all doing =)
And, Davy, I'll see you tomorrow at the Baptism for the twins, I wouldn't miss it for the world. Thanks for the invitation!
