Enough of misery-blog. I'm going to do better at being cheerful, or at least pretending I'm cheerful.
Ok, so in the interests of being positive I:
1 ...am busy at the moment. Work is ok, I'm treading water but in todays climate that's as well as I can expect. I'm almost entirely on top of my paperwork too, which is magic.
2 ... have got my new cufflink designs made and they're being hallmarked as we speak. They look good. I'm hoping I'll be able to sell them quite well, as they are credit crunch prices.
3 ... am setting up a marine aquarium (3b, I know: will the limits of my nerdyness never end?) and while I'm fiddling around with that I almost forget the rest of the world exists.
4... went to the Royal Albert Hall last night to see a screening of Lord of the Rings with the London Philharmonic Orchestra playing the soundtrack live, which was fantastic. (see 3b).
Life could be a lot worse. It really could. I'm still feeling pretty shit though, and my two best friends are away at the moment: one in the US and the other up north visiting family. I've got other friends of course, but those are the two that I'm most likely to hash out how I feel about stuff with, so there's not as much of that as there could be.
I'm usually quite a private person when it comes to my feelings, relationships etc. It's typical though, that normally I never want to talk about stuff like that and my friends have to squeeze it out of me, and the one time I actually do want to talk they're not around. The Irony eh?
Hope you're all well out there in the four corners of the globe. What good thing has happened to you this week?

just a little relationship quarrel. Needless to say, im not in one anymore. I feel really stress free at the moment. Things are actually going good for me too! i need to buy a new car so im excited about that. but thanks for the concern...im sure you've got your own stuff going on!
but im glad you're in a good place right now! sometimes its grounding to sit back and think about how horrible it could really be.
also i know what you mean about friends....i've only got a select few that I'm comfortable talking to about how i feel. There are friends and then there are drinking buddies haha.
but Cheers! keep in touch!!
To be honest it is odd being back here. I didn't really choose to be back and I think you have to either embrace SG or it kind of drifts by and becomes something you forget about and I guess it's the latter at the moment. I mean I have all the best people that I was friends with (Jesus I am including you) on other sites too so it feels like I'm kind of visiting the site rather than coming back to find anything. Oh and it's just not the same without Mk, she made the site for me.
Looking forward to seeing you and combining the odd weighty discussion with a lot of bawdy nonsense today, hooray!
