Found this on some LJ thing that came up as I logged in: If you could have the ability to hear everything your best friend or romantic partner was thinking, but you couldn't switch it off (or tell them), would you want it?Me - definitely not with Mark, but I'd LOVE to be able to turn it on at will and use it on anyone. There are some people I just ( Read more... )

I think unrequited love is one of the most debilitating obsessions afflicting human kind. We all need to be loved and to love someone else. Many, maybe all people can imagine what it would be like to love completely and unconditionally and to have that love returned to us in the same measure.

I hate snow. We can't go to Cardiff now. Plus we can't really get out of our road because the fuckers don't grit it and we're on a hill... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

My supervisor asked me to do mindfulness meditation with her which was a bit scary. She keeps asking me to practice it on her but I am quite scared! I have to complete a ( Read more... )

So I overheard a guy in Coventry discussing diaries yesterday. He was mid 20s and perhaps verging on emo, but still. He was saying to his mate that if he hadn't kept a diary he'd have no idea what went on 5 years ago. This is true! It's not like life is lost, but memory is a fallible thing and I know that, at least for me, I only really ever have ( Read more... )

I handed over to the person taking over from me today. I don't leave for another week and a half, but it hit me today how weird it feels. This is really the first job I have enjoyed since graduating. It's had difficult patches, but my colleagues are all great, it's at a great Uni and even though it's kind of underchallenging it hasn't been all bad ( Read more... )
