I have just worked a most disgusting weekend where nothing whatsoever went right. And now I top of that with two nights. Oh joy. I’ve stopped sleeping properly- I sleep for a few hours, then lay awake for two, then sleep some more. That’s a very typical stress-reaction for me. I hope I will get to a next interview for the job I applied for.
It was lovely to meet dichroic and her husband, though it was brief. In the past ten years I’ve met about 20 of my online friends IRL and half of them are not from Sweden. That, I think, is one of the better sides of the Net- to be able to find friends all over the world. The Net can be very flighty and contacts brief, but you can also find those who share your interests and grow very strong connection. I wonder if the Net isn’t better for finding friend than for finding love. Of course people do find love; I think you always do in places where people connect. Perhaps I’m too coloured by my own view here, though. I did sign up for a dating site a couple of years ago, mostly out of curiosity. I found it a very strange environment. You kind of need to keep a couple of contacts going at the same time and see which one seems most interesting. That didn’t suit me at all, I found it very weird to have some sort of lukewarm romantic conversation with several, so I signed out forever after a week or so. But on the other hand a friend of mine met her husband on a site like that, so of course it can work. To me it seems so much more likely that you will find someone that suits you if you are able to connect as friends first.
I put Spiff on the scale with me and realized that my six-month old kitten weighs five kilos! And that is not fat! He is now bigger than Page.
Son is turning ten on Sunday. I’m amazed that I have a son that age! Where did ten years go? Here’s the most recent pic of him:
He refuses to let me cut his hair. He also refuses to go to a hairdresser. I’m biding my time, as he also hates to comb his hair…
