Deep Within The Cupboard Of Mystery..!
This past weekend has been a quiet, even mature one, we've got a project to improve the flat we got for a bargain, turn it into somewhere great and then move on to a bigger place, it's called 'Project Equity' and it sounds ridiculously mature. Gulp

I can also relate to Toni's strategy of making you think she was neat and tidy...I did the same thing in my car the other day before I went over to Paul's. My CD player stopped working, and he said he'd take a look to make sure it wasn't just a fuse, so in a moment of panic I started gathering receipts and gum wrappers and things and shoving them into the center console. Because I'm organized and tidy. Uh-huh. No, really. :-P
Oh, and...inflatable penis game? Pics or it didn't happen.

Is this a regular lady thing, do you reckon or just that you two are pretty unique?! Haha, like Paul thinks of some of your quirks, I think this storing/hoarding in Toni is pretty endearing!

I don't know whether or not all girls are like that - but I think those of us who aren't inherently organized do. I'm not a slob, but I'm also not one of those Martha Stewart types. My bedroom is often a bit messy, and it doesn't bother me - but if guests are coming over, you can be damn sure I'm going to squirrel that shit away. I don't know why that is - because if I went to Paul's and there were dirty dishes in the sink and assorted everyday life flotsam all over the living room, I wouldn't really care. But if he came over to my place and saw the same thing - I'd be ashamed of myself.

"I don't know why that is" - pressure from society?
Because I'm certain that most blokes would prefer to see a little mess, not only will it make it easier when she visits your place (and sees yours!) but also as it shows that the girl has more going on in her life than tidying up her own flat incessantly.

On Sunday on BBC4, I caught Part 1 (lasting four and a half hours!!) of a documentary called 'Shaoh', a simple, no frills account of what occured in those Polish concentration camps, with accounts and tales from survivors, witnesses and relatives of the deceased. I dipped in and out but even an hour of it was very moving yet inspiring, particularly as they were delivered in a kind of, matter-of-factness that still makes you wonder how they coped, especially considering this was pre-therapy and before the use of extensive counselling.

It was four and a half hours and it was only Part 1?! Or it was shown in hour long chunks?
That's the thing, you don't need to 'tart up' this kind of drama with modern documentary editing, the truth is stark enough. I can remember when Dispatches and World in Action were full of facts, not shorn down to an hour and with graphics to pad it out!
I imagine that some of them have undergone Counselling since the war, maybe Counselling has improved because they've tried it out on the survivors; one of the few positive things to emerge from the Holocaust?

"Project Equity" is just a small, hand written list of things to do, not scary at all! xx

It's not the piece of paper that's scary, silly! xx
