Tell me, does anyone understand the strange phenomena of software updates? AIM just told me I was running v. 5.9.3690, and it was of life-threatening urgency I upgrade to v. 5.9.3861 immediately. Why the fuck should I upgrade?! I don't care if it runs faster or whatever shit it's spouting, it works! I don't care if it makes me coffee and sings me ( Read more... )

I'm back. Feeling a little older and more damaged. It may be a while before I'm writing for any fandom again, but you never know. Inspiration could strike. August and September have been interesting months to say the least. Hurrah, I've learnt recently that my reputation in this town couldn't really be any worse. But oh well, who gives a shit. It's ( Read more... )

Hm. Well, you may have noticed I've been a little absent for a bit over a week. My life suddenly got filled with new people and I've spent almost all my time down the street. If I write about everything that's gone on I'll bore the living hell out of all of you though, and I can't really summon the effort anyway. Stuff with Matt is both brilliant ( Read more... )

Well, last night was the most fun I've had on a Tuesday for a while. Me and Niffer met two guys in the bus stop down the street from my house, and ended up going for a smoke in the Boys Scout place with them and a couple of other mad bastards on motorbikes. I love meeting random people and going off with them. Greg, one of the guys is really quite ( Read more... )

Oh dear, I just realised I have three different windows open on different parts of LJ. Damn this place. It sucks you in. Just like Gaia had me sucked in last year, I'm so resentful of all the time I spent on that place. Although there were some truly amazing people on there, it was so very elitist and competitive. How many double lives do we lead? ( Read more... )

So, I'm going a little stir-crazy lately. Being home all day makes me very, very bored. But a job will require so much effort, as will getting one. I'm having to suck it up and go into town and get a Farmers application form if they've got jobs going tomorrow. Blegch. But they pay damn well, and they'll pay a whole lot better six months into the ( Read more... )

So. My Gran who isn't related to me, but I call her such anyway because she's like an honorary Grandmother (should that actually be capitalised? =/) is staying with us at the moment. By at the moment I mean the next two months. She came here Sunday ( Read more... )
