In sickness and in health

[rainsinger]

I can't believe I am about to say this, but after only three days off work with disease and injury I am growing bored of daytime telly. I feel like a woman who gets to move in with her idolised first crush only to discover that they're not all you thought them to be. It's a terrible letdown and I hope you never have to go through it

Re: injury? :((

Injury - I slipped in some beer at a gig on Wednesday and seriously damaged my ability to walk, although I could lurch with the best of them :)

My boss is a very fiery woman, whose idea of motivation is generally to tell you that you are lazy and useless and that it's unaccaptable, and to shout whenever she feels frustrated. What's your one's excuse?

And as for Nano I think I'm not doing it this year. :( I feel so cruddy and I haven't the faintest idea of a story outline. Shame though. I used to love Nano, but nowadays I feel like my brain is dead. But who knows I might change my mind and give it a shot yet!

Have you any idea of what you're going to be doing?

Called Super 8 here too. My parents have footage of me as a two-year-old running around and around a big bushy tree in the back garden. Of course the projector broke and my dad got bored of the hobby, so I haven't seen any of the footage for a long while. Since I was about three in fact.

[rainsinger]

Oh that's a shame!
Childhood footage is fun, and it's nice to have a record of those things unless it's a record of things like a *child masturbating on the beach* or something.

And your toddler self sounds cute. I love the stage when human children [human children I am not responsible for] discover that they are able to run and then suddenly they can't get enough of it, and they're unstoppable.

Actually I warmed to the baby a lot. It was an easily satisfied infant who did not ask any tiresome questions and besides which it fascinated me by being one of the ugliest children I had ever come across. Poor baby. It made up for its lack of chin with its oversize nose, and its bulbous little eyes, and the lack of hair on top of its head was balanced out by long hair in the back. To sum it up it looked like a miniature Boldrick. With a mullet. I spent many content hours cooing into its unfortunate little face.

Oh my, how much i laughed at the above..... *snorts*

[rainsinger]

Teee heee heee :D

It really was an infant of a spectacular ugliness. Fortunately it had a good character.

[kesstrel]

that got me too. I just had to clean a fine mist of tea spray off my monitor...

I bet that baby's mother thinks it's the prettiest baby in the world.

[rainsinger]

Probably :) Love is funny that way.

Although I've known a few mothers [my aunt for instance, and my mother] who stated flatly that their children were ugly [and with good reason, in the case of my cousin].

Although the moral of the story is that often what makes an ugly baby [a disproportionately large nose for instance] suddenly is transformed into the features of a beautiful child. And conversely, I've known babies who looked like angels until adolescence exploded into them.

But really, character counts for a lot. The prettiness of a baby is not a factor in determening its appeal or its cuteness.

"Oh! Now that looks so good on you! - as though the baby were a handbag

But did it go with your shoes??

I'm sorry you're feeling so crappy lately :( Here's to a speedy recovery and more entertaining Super 8s and good television.
