Work is shit. Everyone is giving me things to do that need to be done instantly, and they do not seem to understand that said things would take quite a while even if I didn't already have a huge pile of other "instant" jobs to do.
The goth seems to have lost interest after the weekend we had together.
The friend I was going to visit next week has cancelled. So now I am just going to be stuck at home with my mum all week, getting more and more pissed off with her.
Aaaargh, I need to get out of here somehow.
where "here" = this town, this family, this job, everything

Don't you ever, like, injure yourself or anything, with that nose? God, it's simply amazing. (I try to stop myself from acting like this, but it's just too enjoyable. Aaaaahhh.)

I took a 50 question test. I seemed to select the middle button mainly, I couldn't decide. You may well have more personality than me ed.

We're spending Christmas day at jill's mum's place. jill's mum is very nice and kind & stuff, but there's not much to do there. I was planning on watching loads of telly and drinking myself into a stupor, but last night I hit on the idea of taking down the zeit sequencer, a synthesiser module and a set of headphones, which sounds like a much better idea.
2006 was a bit crap (mainly lack of money/trade @ work), but nevertheless a fair bit better than 2005. Hopefully '07 will get better still.

(I may check my email once or twice in between, though.)
2006 was mostly OK. Some really good things happened. And very few really awful things happened. So on balance, it was OK.

2006 was shite. I'm in my third job of the year, I am more skint than I was last year, I am a stupid idiot for thinking packing in a really well-paid job on a point of principle was a good idea (the principle was sound, but I didn't really take time to examine my future options and I think I'm kind of screwed now). On the other hand, my family, friends and loved ones are all fit and healthy and well and I haven't had any big personal cock-ups in my life outside of work (ended 2005 convinced I didn't have any friends in the world - was proved very wrong by a pleasantly sociable 2006), so I can't really complain.
I'm going away tomorrow lunchtime and won't be back until Wednesday or Thursday night.

Ugh, JB, that sounds awful. The most horrible part of gastric flu isn't the vomitting, it's when it comes out the other end.

Write and record around an albums worth of new songs that actually are worth writing! (in conjunction with a friend who's suddenly interested in home production but does not write songs)
Write a sitcom (possibly for radio), a preview of which exists on old ILX.
Get paid more.

How does one explain to a person - especially a person who also claims to be an introvert - that hell really *is* other people at breakfast. And conversation beyond grunting and "please pass the milk" really is NOT welcome before I've had my tea.
Especially when I'm in a rush to get out the door to get to work, and really not in a mood to talk about global warming or the Archbishop or whatever.

Then again, I suppose she's on holiday and I'm not yet.
But honestly, even on holiday, I don't talk about anything before I've had some caffeine. She doesn't drink caffeine, either, so I guess she doesn't understand.
I will say something tonight.

It worked perfectly for nearly 4 years!

Thing is, living with actual *strangers* isn't so bad because there's no pressure to communicate or anything. It's when you live with people who expect you to, you know, be friendly and talk to them and crap when all you want to do is crawl off to bed with a Chinese takeaway and a Jane Austen film, that's what's annoying.
