Well I'm on day two of my three days off and I'm a bit bored to be honest.
Yesterday I took a walk into town and considered having my lip pierced again... still undecided. I mentioned it while round at a friend's house a while back and his brother said, "yeah, you keep convincing yourself you're young!" which made me feel pretty old. I'm 33...

Well Monday took a nosedive.

H, who I was seeing briefly until she decided things were 'complicated' with her situation has just updated her facebook profile status to 'in a relationship' and guess what? It's not with me. Even as I was clicking, I held a little bit of hope that her situation had changed and it was going to be with me - cue...

What a great weekend.

Went out for drinks on Fri with D, who sent me a text just as I was leaving work asking if I wanted a pint. Good timing!

Saturday I went into town, bought my housemate a birthday card & present, then went to the pub with my laptop and did some writing. Had a few drinks and then went over to...

Another day, another... dooby dooby doo. Or something.

It's Friday! Oh yes it is. I plan on getting inhibriated tonight, but not sure who with or where as most of my friends are otherwise engaged. One is seeing her new BF, one is spending this weekend detoxing, one is away down south... it goes on.

I haven't been out for the last two Friday nights...

Ah crap.

I think that S has a pretty bad crush on me and obviously some of that is my doing. Don't get me wrong, it's always nice if someone likes you, but it has complicated things. I went around last night and we ate and watched Family Guy, but towards the end she got quiet and seemed a little... either awkward or upset, I...

Well I'm a bit more upbeat today.

I've done another chapter for the NaNoWriMo book and started on chapter 5. You can read it here, but start with the bottom post and work your way up. Blogger doesn't seem to want to let me post in order of oldest first for some reason.

Work has been ok for once - mind you the boss...

As much as going back to work on a Monday is no one's favourite thing to do, I really don't get on with Tuesdays. Yesterday was crap and today isn't much better. I know, I'm moaning but I feel shitty.

I have my weekly IT meeting with the big boss man on a Tuesday and I never seem to be quite prepared, despite having a...

You know when you're travelling along in the train of happiness and everything is cool? You can't wait to get to the station because something you're looking forward to is there so you speed up so as to get there sooner. Then just as you hit cruising speed and everything is going swimmingly, you unexpectedly encounter the brick wall of incident which someone has laid...

I'm joining the national novel writing month. There's a fair few from on here, including Zamuzel who is local to me. If you want to know more about it, check it out here and check out my profile and progress here.

The basic idea is to write a 50,000 (or over,) word novel between Nov 1st - 30th. No editing, no spending hours obsessing...

As a follow on from Monday's post I'm formally announcing that I have lost the will to work. Possibly permanently.

Some years ago I tried to get into the games industry as a 3D artist. It's a very difficult industry to get into and I wasn't sucessful, despite trying for a number of years and lots of often humiliating interviews.
I was still armed with...
