On asking for comments!
I was going to blog about how MindReader became an uncle, and how it feels to have a job again, but then my body started doing strange things and as always happiness is eclipsed by this. My exams start tomorrow. Four in five days, and then my life as a student ends forever. It should …
And now jus because I said scarlett johanssen is beautiful mindreader thinks I am gay
I step out of work (work! How weird to say when 5 months ago you couldn’t sit up all day) and into the blazing sunshine. I am tired, but not that sinister achey-tired that I used to be. Indeed I feel almost entirely normal after 5 hours on my feet, demonstrating bubble bars to people. …
Wherein I potentially break again
Today is my first day of work. It should be momentous, right? Except: I’m a twat. MindReader is away, always a recipe for Billygean going MAD. Felt quite relaxed, went to bed at midnight, trying to be realistic. I think I had half an hour’s sleep between 3 and 4 and another half an hour …
On MindReader turning 27!!
MindReader and I are at a Maximo Park gig. I have had some problems with gigs in the past, namely that they seemed to fall at inconvenient times (ie. between January and December 08!) and served as nice little reminders of what I was missing. This time, we are there by 7:30, sipping drinks and …
We also compared body aches
I am out for something like the fourth night in a row. I twiddle my straw as I eye Stranger, (actually more of a friend of a friend) for he, too, is a fatigue survivor. Of course, the first, and only time we ever spoke, was before it happened to me, too. He’s standing with …
When we lived together we spent a whole day trying to work out what 1 million minus 1 was
“They want me to be able to do double entry bookkeeping though,” OldHousemate says. And by OldHousemate, I don’t mean that she’s 90, just that I used to live with her. “Oh God,” I say. “Have you done it?” “I passed an exam on it last year, but I couldn’t tell you what it was,” …
Warning there are spiders on this blog post!
On THAT Easter weekend, when I thought it was happening again, I made a plea for you not to forget about me. I received comments and emails and texts in response. A very good friend of mine wrote the following: Personally I love a good beer garden, so let’s say – the Dirty Duck in …
This does not make up for not having a dog
Introducing: Atticus and Boo (a lepard and pearl danio respectively), and Dorothy, The Cowardly Lion and The Scarecorw (three zebra danios). But what this space as we are getting TWENTY more!
The cheesecake, although not quite set, is rather tasty
I am making a cheesecake. MindReader is watching the football. It is domestic bliss. Except I’m a crap cook, remember. “Hurry up!” I say into the pan. “It’ll melt quicker if it’s not in one big lump,” MindReader says from the living room 5 feet away. “How do you know I hadn’t cut it up!” …
