Number of readers: 8?? What a crime!

I once calculated how long it would take me to lose enough weight to fit into my kid brother's clothing just to avoid doing laundry. He has an entire wardrobe of 33 inch pants...if I could just hold off for another few weeks, I wouldn't have to do laundry for a month

Tonight after dinner with my friend David, I'm going home and attacking the bed-station. It truly needs a going over, not having to shove piles of books out of the way to go to sleep will be nice. Having clothes to choose from to match the weather will be extra-nice, as the rain has come back again, and the city is slithering in a thick heap of cold rain and warm humidity that defeats layers and freezes t-shirts.

AH sigh. I do carry books with me. one for reading and one for writing at all times. It's just that I've found that typing works so much better. I'm realizing that I actually do need to set aside Time At My Own Computer every couple of days, to process pictures and all the links piling up. I'm glad you write. It makes me happy.

8, 8, I forget what 8 was for.

I liked the 'we make money not art' feed. That invisible maze is awesome. And yes, I know what you mean about not writing for a little while and having it all back up in a phone of experiences to write down in your head. Experiencing cool things and not sharing them is what everyone on the planet does every day. It's what makes us special and what makes every single death a tragedy. Like Roy Batty said in the end of Blade Runner, "All these moments will be lost. Like tears....in rain." I can feel myself getting obsessive sometimes with the need to share. The jury's still out on whether or not that's a bad thing. Some stuff is good to keep for yourself. But you know that.

I believe I may be a little on the drunk side. A 'phone of experiences'? What the hell what did I mean by that?

I used to love the idea of having more arms. Those parents will probably cut the child's arm off. As mine would have if I were born with more arms than normal. As I probably would if my child had more arms than normal. But still. Wouldn't it be awesome?

[porphyre]

I can't help but think of painting the child wild colours and relaesing him onto the world as an indian diety.

How did the duck go?

[kindelingboy]

Quack!

[porphyre]

Duck always goes well.

It's practically a rule.

wmmna and the building blog seem both full of all sorts of tasty things: thank you. Also, you could ask for all your laundry to be done for you as a birthday present from friends who care but have more time than money.
By the way, belated Happy Birthday.

[porphyre]

It's not that I don't have the quaters all lined up and ready to slot into the machine. in fact, that's possibly the only money iI have right now the way my work's been scrambling my pay, but it's that I have been persistantly not home for long enough periods of time.

[silver_notebook]

I realised it was a time not money issue: that's why I thought that anyone who was wondering what Jhayne wants for her birthday and has no idea, 'JHAYNE WANTS ALL HER WASHING DONE - she even has a little stash of quarters waiting to go in the machine.'
pity this is at the end of an older post, otherwise you might have had a little queue of local LJ people outside your flat when you got home, all competing to be the one to give you such a beautiful birthday present.

How terrifying.

I can imagine perhaps a small group of boys who I may or may not have ever heard of, who would have nicknames like 'wart' and I would not under any circumstances be glad they had my address. *grins*
