At last. I'm sort of sick of this meme, although to be fair that's generally because I leave it too late in the day to have the energy to think much about it.

So One Last Moment. I don't know what moment to choose. Yes I do.

I was in my second year of university and I was on the first caving trip of the year. One of our freshers had decided he ( Read more... )

This is a hard one. What do I aspire to be or to do? Not a lot. I take things as they come. I'm not one for the forward planning, the hopes and dreams. I live my life on impulse. At the moment, anyway. Should probably make plans: plans for a better-paid job, plans for a home of my own and an ability to pay the bills at the same time as being ( Read more... )

Easy. Silver and Magpie. Magpie because he was my guardian angel and he's disappeared off the face of the Earth. No answer to texts or emails and although I've still got him on Facebook he doesn't seem to use it anymore. Silver because... well, I'm hugely attached to him and girlfriend or no, we nearly had something and it feels like massive ( Read more... )

An easy one

Vomit Just gets the edge over tuna because it's more disruptive to my life
TunaI hate it.
Injections
Strong windsMy head knows the wind in southern UK won't blow my house down but my heart refuses to believe it.
Heights I'm fine as long as I know I can't fall though, so I have no problem hanging from a rope on a clifftop.
Saying "bless you ( Read more... )

This goes into two categories, Physically Better and Emotionally/Mentally Better.

Physically, despite my habit of leaving them as a very very last resort, painkillers tend to help although they work best if taken early.

Emotionally/mentally, distraction is about the only thing. Being hugged and people being nice to me when I'm upset are likely to ( Read more... )

Right now, what upsets me is this:

Old Rope Monday - http://www.wegottickets.com/event/98550 @andrewismaxwell Milton Jones @RobinInce @NickDoody etc

From Twitter.

Nick Doody and Milton Jones are in my Top Four comedians and Andrew Maxwell is easily in my Top Ten and I want to go so much and I can't! It starts at 7.30 and I know from experience that ( Read more... )

Today's Moment is one that I considered last time the prompt was "a moment."

I've mentioned my friend Magpie. I was in love with him for a few years but ultimately, his place in my life was as mentor, hero and guardian angel. He was the first friend I had who was significantly older than me - by a massive gap of four and a half years - and he was ( Read more... )

Can't do great detail. There's only been nine days of it. It's been cold, it's snowed, I've made snow chains for my boots and apart from that, not done a lot. Soon it will be Christmas and I haven't finished shopping yet. One parcel seems to have gone missing in the post. Godless Christmas next week, spa day the week after. Maybe seeing Jess &  ( Read more... )

This one's easy. There's one thing that really stands out in my memory. When I was fifteen or so, I answered my sister's phone while she was out. Her best friend on the other end asked to speak to her and said she'd called about three times. Joking, I said "Oh, she doesn't want to be friends with you any more!" Said best friend took me seriously. ( Read more... )
