it's in the afternoon and I'm asleep at work again. Good that I ahve my own office as I've just been awoken by a certain reckless blood rellie regaling the household with tales of love, loss, and Redcliffe. I dunno, maybe 'regales' is the wrong word to use when exactly one half of your audience is comatose in the next room, but he sure is talking loudly.
I guess Mack kind of has to talk loudly. He's about two Parkway Drive tracks away from total deafness, the lucky sod. If I were in a better or less sleep-deprived mood I might find it amusing that people keep trying to yell conversationally at him, but since he can't hear he doesn't even wait, just ploughs on. And on. And on. GAH. SHUT UP. PEOPLE ARE REJUVINATING HERE.
Oh yeah, and another thing. Why the hell are all these people here so early? Is it an early sign of Alzheimer's, leaving your house at 3.30 a.m. so you can arrive to torment your Co-workers at the least convenient hour possible, or something more sinister? His dog makes noise too, the twee-brained little jizz-biscuit. It's scuttling about under the kitchen table sniffing at absolutely nothing with turbo-charged gusto. Man, I hope I don't have to be awake and hospitable anytime soon.

After that gem of a conversation we decided to talk about realtionships, or what makes a up one. We can thank virgilnhell and CarnalDiem For the help also. Se here are the markers of a relationship and what they mean
3 months- If you pass the three months mark it means you are probably serious and exclusive. This is will also be the best three months of your life. And if they aren't, get out.
6 months- Things start winding down, and that's ok. Getting past six months means you're starting to get comfortable and getting used to the idea that you're dependent on each other.
1 year- Congratulations. You've made it past the first year. You know it's serious but you're not really sure where it might be going. So go with the flow.
2 years- The moving in together period could start here and extend to five years. This is when you start to evaluate and keep score of all their bad qualities versus good and judge accordingly. If the bad outweighs the good, you still have time to get out while you still can.
3 years- The breaking point. Do or die time. Break it off or stay together for the long haul. Don't waste each other's time. If after this period you are still very unsure if you want to be with them for the rest of your life, then you are settling.
One; Pseudo-intellectuals who study at Starbucks
You are not in a cafe in Italy OK. Get your fucking laptop and your snobbery outta here. I hate the mindless drones who go there to talk about how their sister-in-law uses the Swiffer too.
Two; Guys who go to the gym to pick up women.
Really, you can't really approach another person at a gym without sounding like a total bag of douche. "I hope you don't wipe that machine after you're done."
Three; People who name their kids Mackenzie or any new age names.
Most people want to have a kid who has a unique name in hopes that he or she will stand out an be more noticable. And it's true.
In the workplace todd may be a complete wank, suzy is the office tart and john is the degenerate arsehole and your kid is the one everyone knows because no one remembers his name, or if they do how to pronounce it. If I had a kid and I had to go the new age route I'd name him Mistake. It's versatile.

But I would like to ask, what do you think about the whole astrological 'sign' thing?
Sometimes I think there is something to it and other times it seems like a load of hippie crap.
People seemingly use it to either give them some sort of false depth when you first meet them, explain the things they do that are considered a bit off, or to make any of thier flaws sound like a divine calling.
I see it as almost total bollocks most of the time though.
