I didn't get the job, although I thought the interview had gone quite well. Clearly I was wrong but never mind, life goes on and all that ( Read more... ) -

When one part is fixed, another breaks down. When one area is picking up, another falls down ( Read more... ) -

It occasionally comes to my attention that in most ways, I am still a complete child. I don't mean that in the good way - I'm not carefree or happy-go-lucky but I am scared of most things and inexplicably nervous about the unfamiliar and generally not so good with the coping unless someone is helping me. It's a good job Polly and Chance and Pogues ( Read more... ) -

I'm now drawing very, very near to finishing my very first hand-knit sweater. I am obscenely excited. It's taken me about 3 and a half months, I think,but I've been taking it pretty easy and working on it alongside quite a lot of other projects so I reckon if I worked hard on only the ONE project, I could get an entire me-sized sweater done in ( Read more... ) -

So, it turns out that I fricken SUCK at writing every day. This is a habit that I really, really need to get into if I ever want to be writing for a purpose, as opposed to the obscure and pointless shite I write at the moment but, as it turns out, I'm crap at it.

And so my time at Waterstones is coming to an end. I was quite hopeful that they would decide to keep me on after my temp contract came to an end but sadly it was not to be. I guess there's something else waiting for me somewhere ( Read more... ) -
Goodbye, 2009
It appears that I haven't filled one of these end of year things out since 2006...shocking really. I was hoping to read back what I'd thought about previous years but I guess it's not to be ( Read more... ) -
Seven Walls Go UpFor Every One Wall That Comes Down
So I have finished my first week of work and am now having a well deserved lazy day. Not quite true, I cleaned my room this morning (no mean feat, my room is usually a dumping ground), but his afternoon I've just sat in my favourite chair and watched the rain and knitted and painted and watched Bill and Ted. I glanced out of the window about ten ( Read more... ) -
Overreaction?
Yesterday I got several messages which went along the lines of "You have to be in Liverpool tomorrow night. Be there." Call me old fashioned, but that doesn't sound much like a warm invite to me - much more like a demand. Now, I realize that my friends and I have cultivated a manner of speaking to each other that comes across as quite brusque but ( Read more... )
