Happy Mother's Day!!!!
from starzero :
i sent your mix, but you've probably already gone for thailand. maybe, with luck, it'll still be there waiting for you when you return. cheers!
from amb1valent-k :
Ooof!! Nice rant, thanks! :-)
from ottodixless :
Shit, I live right off Leith Walk and generally do almost anything to avoid being noticed. Good for you to stick your neck out. I'm not sure if anything serious would have happened, but I'm less brave than you. (Also I hope you keep with your diary.)
from bicycles :
thanks for that, lady. i'm sticking it out (and hoping he will too), and hoping things get better soon. its hard to tell a bad patch from a relationship falling apart, sometimes.
from amb1valent-k :
you're probably right. Been travelling? I have no Edinburgh hits in the last few days...
from yelayna :
I finally caught up, and you've been paid! Woo! lots of love and hugs, hope that bosslady sorts appraisal stuff out as it's not really on. Write a "i'm trying to plan my holiday times so was wondering when my appraisal was likely to be email" and scarper :o) xxx
from amb1valent-k :
Right. I'm in Edinburgh Thursday and Friday. We're definitely not going to meet, OK? What should I catch in the fringe? (I'll be going to see the giant people at the RSA on the Mound anyway)
from amb1valent-k :
Then we're kindred spirits that way - I think I'd be scared too. What do you say - Kings Wark, Monday 1.00 p.m? (I won't be there - but we could make a date anyway)
from smedindy :
I sent an email. I hope it didn't get lost. Anyway, I hope you can get those CDs back toot sweet!!!
from amb1valent-k :
coffee? And why would you decline, pray?
from amb1valent-k :
hey! What's with all the cows on Princes Street?
from yelayna :
Lovely Mrs Lass. Thanks for your note the other day, finally caught up with everyone today. My family are wondering what I can be reading for so long! I know your situation with McDee well – I have a mate who is pretty much the same. So much so that she was the only one of my close mates who was even vaguely surprised that I split with Laurence. Sometimes there is no way to deal with that situation until you feel brave enough to… or till it just goes away. I’ve learned with mine to just expect much less, which somehow in managing my own expectations makes it feel a bit better. Love and hugs xxx
from dreamsongs :
Hi - I linked to your site from *0 - I haven't been posting for awhile but still read when I have time. Your latest entry really caught my eye because I think if anyone is "shit scared" about having a kid, then they should just NOT HAVE KIDS!!! I belong to a child-free social group called No Kidding, which is international so maybe they even have a chapter or two in the UK. I love kids, but believe that people should only have their own children if it is something they feel strongly sure they want to commit their lives to, since it is a HUGE change to make. I find my nurturing instinct quite happily fulfilled through my work, my hubby, and my friends!
from eyetheworld :
Take it easy....at least it is almost done. :) My kitchen is as small as yours...or may be smaller as the fridge can't even fit in there! Good luck...
from kingshrug :
hi.
from smedindy :
I need to get on your 'package' - it will probably be shipped early next week! (Originally scheduled for May 12...)
from starzero :
i don't like purple prose in porn. no mudflaps for me, please. besides, that sound more like booty problems.
from shutupmom :
and once you finish it you feel theres nothing else to live for...until you discover ARRESTED DEVELOPEMENT. and the fact that showtime picked up 20 episodes.....
from shutupmom :
no theres 5. i said 5..i mean i wrote 5...i i mean i typed 5. yeah, theres 5 complete seasons of 6 feet under. #5 is the last. im starting to confuse myself here...bye.
from atavist :
shhhhh ... we must be v careful, because to say it out loud will make it all disappear in a cloud of smoke.
from ottodixless :
Thanks. I was second-highest out of 12 offers today, which seems ridiculous for a little flat that didn't even have proper central heating. I've looked occasionally at estate agents - it's certainly good to look widely and sneak in around all the crazy people (I'm a little bit scared of evil pushy salespeople like estate agents, though).
from starzero :
yeah, my dirty blue site has been on hiatus of sorts lately. i don't have much time to update from home, and it's not exactly a subject i can address from work. -- most of the hostile gbook entries come from baby, so i'm not too concerned about them.
from type-a- :
It is really annoying when people criticize others. I only comment in a positive way because dland is a place to enjoy. You did nothing wrong with the other girl. I wouldn't consider that cheating, myself. I also get the same way about disturbing images. I don't watch the news or be friends with demented people because if I hear about someone in pain I feel it and obsess about it, too. I wish I could turn it off.
from the-moo :
well howdily hoodily neighbour!! thank you for dropping by I'm always happy to welcome a fellow smed fan!! *huuugs* also.. thank you for your additions to my willy comments ;-) MOST enjoyed! xxx
from amb1valent-k :
Ah - I left the request in your comments. My fault - didn't follow instructions! Never mind eh?
from starzero :
silly lass! i have no plan....
from amb1valent-k :
Aw.. did I not qualify for the voice link? :-(
from katm6 :
Hey! What happened to your Comments section?
from meepful :
Thank you!! I can't believe I did that.. Man if I didn't have people around to wake me up to these things.. !!
from ladyvaduva :
*blushes* thanks toots!!! lol I am just a big ol sap.. hopefully this guy I'm crushin on now will feel the same way back.. very unlikely but meh we'll see how it goes! lol!! hope all is well!!
from kristoli :
Thank you honey, I'm feeling a bit better but it was just so gruesome and not what you want for a loved pet! But bad memories fading now, the human brains capacity to get over bad stuff is really quite impressive!
from jennyj :
Yeah that horrible flaky stuff on the heating element, bah! I didn't use it for a little while and (it went a little bit mouldy). Ugh. Casting off is dead easy. You knit two stitches and then you hook the first stitch you did leapfrog-style over the second and let it drop off ... do another stitch and leapfrog the now-first stitch over the second. Or, this site might help you better: http://knitting.about.com/library/bllearnbo.htm
from la-blue-eyez :
Thank you for your note.
from jennyj :
Hello! Yes that is my steamer and did you know that if you don't uses it for a little while it ... doesn't like it very much? Sorry to read you're in a down bit but I am sure it's just a down bit. You sound alright at the heart of it. x
from buck88 :
its defo there. i will mail it if you want. im planning diet plans i need to lose 8 stone by the morning any ideas?. blair witch is on, im scared to touch the tv incase a hand made of twigs comes out the screen, i need a bandito-ey to look after me. for some reason im listening to techo/house. x
from buck88 :
its there when i look. x
from starzero :
i'm sure i'll enjoy the food, though not necessarily all the company. nah, a & i get along, and clearly baby & i get along (we're patching up our recent spat as i type). this fourth person is a mystery, but probably of no consequence.
from buck88 :
i did an exhibition once with drawings of jauqui dixons head, the response was mixed. I'm 'watching celebrity fit club' and am HOOKED. its nice that they all weight more than me altho that doesnt really help. I gave up sugar for 2 days. HARDCORE. shud we mail each other food diaries?. NAME AND SHAME. x
from atavist :
if falling off the wagon will stop you leaving me links that make me blub at my desk at work then by all means RETOX RETOX anon. i am surprisingly good, but trying not to count my chickens, will update when / if they hatch :)
from ottodixless :
Thanks for the link, but a flat overlooking the playing fields on Ferry Road would bring back far too many painful memories for me to live near there (yes, I went to a posh edinburgh school). Also it's slightly outside my budget, though maybe I could hole up there with a sniper rifle shooting PE teachers, and get arrested before the mortgage payments were due. Ah, flathunting is all about dreaming!
from sawitcoming :
Ah! Because you know where I am!
from amb1valent-k :
GREAT entry!
from buck88 :
i need to lose 10 million pounds by april, I dont want people to take me as the find me, I WANT TO BE THINNER. also then you dont have to work on a 'sparkling personality', something i ve always been too busy eating to develop. xx
from ottodixless :
Poetry's for being all miserable at home in yr bedroom in yr teenage years, not in public! So my ideas are limited, but you can't beat some Dorothy Parker; I like "Observation" or "Resume" (you should find them and loads more via Google). Or the silliest poem ever, by Emily Dickinson: http://plagiarist.com/poetry/8241/
from amb1valent-k :
Jings! What an ommission! Admonishment accepted. Haggis for tea tonight? (And - did you ever publish what you chain CD consisted of?)
from yelayna :
Hello lovely, just wanted to say thank you for your note – it was a lovely thing to say and it made me feel much better – and even a bit teary (in a good way – I’m rubbish when people are nice to me!!). I was in a bit of a state yesterday, I can only think it is hormones and tiredness and darkness and all those things. Sometimes my new found confidence slides away from me briefly, and with all the oddness going on at the moment (and there’s more that I just haven’t mentioned!) I think it all just got to me a bit yesterday. Feeling much better about things today! So... thank you *hugs* I’m glad you had a good time in Thailand… Looking forward to your photos! *more hugs*
from teranika :
Okay, that has to be the longest first sentence I've seen in a diaryland entry! thanks for the link to the kitty cat dance - already forwarded it 1000 times....
from amb1valent-k :
Great to have you back!
from betchy :
MERRY CHRISTMASS HEELANDLASS I LOVE YOU!!! i dont know why i just typed that in capitals, perhaps to give the impression that i am shouting it to you up there in Scotland!!! i miss you so much and i miss your comments, and i havent been at work so cant even e-mail. have a proper chrimbo (i appear to have turned into Avid Merrion), and Merry Christmas to Bandito also. oh, and good luck with your Christmas feast, i'm sure it will be fine!!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
from fridayfilms :
Aw! I'm keeping up your notes-shifting comment until the New Year at least! Happy Christmas Holiday Season. Friday (First) Films xox
from bluperspex :
a merry, merry to you - may it be blessed and utterly fabulous!
from ladyvaduva :
same to you.. bestest of holyday wishes and drunken fun.. and wonderful pictures.. and u will make beautiful babies with bandito!
from teranika :
Hi Heelandlass! nice photo on clarity25's page! loved the survey and I hope you have a great holiday...
from ladyvaduva :
HAVE AN ABSOLUTELY STOOOPENDOUS WEEKEND! much love.. big hugs!! congrats on 5 years.. and many more to come!!
from amb1valent-k :
To be brutal - it'll change you completely and he'll still try to be the same. If the same means he loves you completely there'll be no problem - he'll adjust. Believe me it's nothing like anything you can imagine just now - it's completely absorbing. And - is that really you over at Clarity? Either you're really cute, or you slipped a Sharlene Spiteri photo in!
from jennyj :
True to your profile comment about me, I've been knitting like a beast! Got to get finished for Christmas, argh! I was in Scotland last weekend - did you feel my presence?
from jennyj :
Oh no, I LOATHE the gym too. It's odious!
from fridayfilms :
Thanks! And thank you for letting me know about the comments. That's both curious and unfortunate. I'll have to look into this.
from amb1valent-k :
What a splendid guest entry you wrote! Loved the well-placed 'oof'!
from vodkatonic :
Thank you - i know you're right and that one small change in your life can lead to lots of bigger changes. Happy birthday for yesterday too! :-)
from atavist :
wheeee! happy birthday m'dear!
from yelayna :
Happy birthday!!!! :o)
from girlsdontcry :
Yes, Germaloid is for piles. As the poor customer had to inform the person working there. It was like some old comedy sketch: "It's for piles." "What?" "PILES." (Cue entire shop turning around and looking at customer).
from discodave :
De nada - hope it was informative :) Dxx
from ladyvaduva :
ne time.. surveys rulllle they give me something to do when I don't wanna do homework or write research papers on apocalypticisim.. and I can't spell either lol.. and yes we will have to chat soon! w00t!
from nilliem :
Anytime...I like surveys! :)
from girlsdontcry :
OK, what I actually came here to say was that yes, Starzero pointed out the pop up ad, and I think it's from the Nedstat thing on my page, which I guess I should take off... it doesn't come up on mine though because of a pop-up blocker. But one day I will get around to it.
from girlsdontcry :
I hadn't finished my story! And distracted me from feeling like I was a cough mixture addict (which I'm not). I still have a cough by the way. And did you see what Pollymagoo said in my notes? Can you confirm or deny??
from girlsdontcry :
Hello! Haha, yes, wow, you should have written that entry instead of me because you were funnier. I totally agree with you about Benadryl. I was feeling like the chemist people would think I was a cough mixture addict because I was asking for a particular brand that has codeine in it, and then I wouldn't let them fob me off with some Beechams lemon and honey nonsense. But luckily a man came in asking for Germoloid (Germoloids?) and another assistant started saying "what do you want?" making him say it louder and louder and then she shouted at the pharmacist "DO WE HAVE GERMOLOID(S)?"
from yelayna :
Hello lovely, Know you were looking for new music a while back, and I just joined some yahoo group thing that you get a mix CD once a month from people (and one month you make one to send). THought you might like to have a look - think there are only about 7 members at the moment, but when it gets to 12 they'll go nuts and get free music :) I hope that's how it works, anyway, yahoo is a mystery to me! ANyway, is at http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/mixmootoo Am off to try your survey now :o) xxx
from fridayfilms :
Hey you. Thanks for your note. I'm hanging in there I guess. The specialist hasn't called yet so I'll be in the dark about this thing for at least a few more days. It's only noon, so I'm off to have that day I put in your survey. That was fun, by the way. Take care.
from kristoli :
I know, I hate hate HATE acrylic (while totally respecting that sometimes you can get away with it with a wool or cotton blend...blah) and I'm beginning to feel like my mother, every time I find a cardi, I start groping around inside of it to find out what it's made of and I can't help but feel the shop staff hate me, I have to fight the urge to tell fellow shoppers, oh yes it feels all soft now and oh yes maybe it does wash well in the machine and tumble dry (allegedly!) but you try putting it on for more than 5 minutes, you will want to rip your own teeth out and even your feet with itch...trust me, I have bought cheap clothing for years and I have many a mistake languishing in the bottom of my wardrobe. I don't care if it looks good and feels soft and is the absolute perfect shade of teal that is SO in this year, in 2 days you will want to burn it and it won't burn, it will melt and that's freaky and wrong. Phew :)
from fridayfilms :
Thanks HL! I do have some good old Go! Team but I'll give the second one a try.
from meepful :
Yorkshire pudding! Man, I hadn't even thought of that.. Yes, definitely (I actually having trouble typing in my excitement for new levels of stodge) Poisonwood Bible, awesome book. The way she manages to give each character a completely different voice, as in actually rewriting her style for their respective chapters is entirely impressive. Have you tried Jasper Fforde yet? Start with The Eyre Affair and tell me you don't get lost in it..
from lsmonkey :
Thanks for the kind note. The truth is i am my worst enemy. One day i will learn ... something of use.
from ladyvaduva :
hey there hun! been a long while.. there was a preggie scare!?!? when!?!? my god I need to learn to read or something lol! well then thailand will DEFINETLY be more enjoyable lol!! and booze is seriously great with everything.. I wish I could it have it more often lmao! xxxx
from fridayfilms :
Thanks, and of course you're not. xox
from fridayfilms :
Hey lassie (lassy? well, not the dog anyway). I noticed that you may have been trying to re-add me to your list as Fridayfirst. When that doesn't work, try fridayfilms. It should do the trick ;). Take care, Friday.
from smedindy :
Thanks for the add! Looking forward to the tunes!
from amb1valent-k :
You OK 'h'?
from girlsdontcry :
Goodness, do you think you're pregnant??
from amb1valent-k :
I'd forgotten Cops & Robbers! The Ahlbergs were great. OK In a couple of years, when the rumpy-pumpy has worked I'll give you a reading list (as long as you promise to keep away from Disney!
from starzero :
i'm going to tell you all about your cd in my dland. this note place is too small.
from rae2005 :
i am guilty of setting the alarm at ridiculous o'clock as well and it used to drive my boyfriend crazy. (except we didnt have to get out of bed to hit snooze) :)
from acornotravez :
Yesh - I am an art-TEEST!
from ladyvaduva :
ahh c'mon... tiedye is friggin whicked lol.. in moderation of course.. I love lingo differences.. its hilarious.. cuz half the time I have to get people to explain what they're talking about I'm like I really don't get it lol.. its all good and fun have a great time!!
from starzero :
some people devise elaborate arrays of coy terms to describe naughty actions, but i tend to be fairly direct about it. i'm just not very imaginative anymore, i guess. or maybe i'm just boring.
from starzero :
always happy to get a cd, but where do i send my address? vaguely suggest an email and hopefully i'll get it right.
from starzero :
i forgot about ash, being scottish, so maybe i should make a mix of non-english british groups. er, i wonder if i can include aphex twin as some of his titles are in cornish. i suppose u2 and sinead aren't british, but really irish, probably. or is ireland part of the u.k. but not great britain? life's so much easier as an american.
from amb1valent-k :
And will you be referring to Mrs Wobble the waitress too?
from moonfaeryy :
Okay...your comments are working but you have two showing up...I'm not sure why it is doing that...Sorry! You did say that you removed the original haloscan blurb, right?
from chicagojo :
Dang. I tried both comments sections you posted without luck on either. I don't know anything about Halo, or else I'd help.
from amb1valent-k :
Was that a 'Burglar Bill' reference?
from kristoli :
Oooh, I love a good secret, of course it does sound like it's bit serious and upsetting for yout friend so I shouldn't be so gleeful, sorry. My family is disappointingly drama free, no dodgy affairs, or red haired children to be found, shame.
from smedindy :
I think Haloscan itself is buggered today. I tried to leave a witty, wry comment and got nada.
from katm6 :
I love Saturdays when I wake up with nothing to do and nowhere to go. Keep us posted on how the "whole Bandito doing the housework" thing works out.
from vicola :
It's tipping it down here in Manchester as well and the dog is giving me shit-eye because I dragged him out for a walk and now he's steaming gently next to the radiator, smelling like an old sock. On the subject of I Robot, why are all women scientists in films supermodel lookalikes while the blokes are geeks? Very unfair on the eye candy quota.
from theswordsman :
There's a link to my survey in my newest diary entry. Thanks! John
from moonfaeryy :
I do give you some glory for getting your comments to work! But the same four are showing up on every entry. You need to have this in your template. <a href="javascript:HaloScan('%%date%%-%%time%%');" target="_self"><script type="text/javascript">postCount('%%date%%-%%time%%');</script></a> Hope this helps!
from theswordsman :
For my prize you could take my iwannaknow survey...I was only in Edinburgh for a few days, but I loved the place. John
from kristoli :
I've never seen I Robot so I can't help but I can sympathise, it happens to me all the time, more often regarding what other parts the characters have played, the german is well used to me screaming in frustration 'okay who is he?', he's a complete film geek and can almost always list the various parts all actors have ever played, we obviously are a reasonable match. Oh and Geri Halliwell pregnant...nah! Really? How could I have missed that?
from starzero :
as an isaac asimov fan, i've put off seeing i, robot for a long time. boy has it, and liked it, so maybe i'll get around to it one of these days. i'll see if the robot reminds me of anyone.
from atavist :
i did wonder momentarily about the robot, but was ultimately distracted by my will smith drool-a-thon. i'm out, i'm proud, i have a thing for will smith.
from vicola :
Geri Halliwell is pregnant? I had no idea. God I hope the electricity doesn't die over winter, if me and the fiancee are forced to make polite conversation for 10 weeks or so there's a distinct possibility that one of us will kill the other. Mind you, if the news is to be believed then chances are that we will be carried off by bird flu or one of the many cancers caused by modern living before summer comes and even if we make through to spring genetically modified crops mean we'll have grown an extra head. So perhaps I'll just stock up on woolly jumpers and books and stop thinking.
from yelayna :
I was about to leave you a message saying ooh, coldest winter since 1968, apparently, so snow and my flat is cold, and that my tan is already fading and that is not fair as maybe it wasn't a tan but just dirt becasue that used to happen at guide camp but got distracted. Geri haliwell is pregnant?!!! WOah! *off to google*
from jennyj :
What, Geri Halliwell is pregnant? But - how?
from ironic-lips :
Aha! You know, I only just made a connection...I have actually been to Leith..For a few years I've been going to the Edinburgh festieval with my dad, and we stay there. I love the comedy acts at the Fringe. Have to disagree about Napoleon Dynamite...my friend said maybe it's cause she saw it in the cinema so she had to stick with it she ended up liking it. I left the living room after around 25 minutes of watching it. I might give it another go, but from what I remember it was like watching paint dry. (Wow. That is quite harsh. But true.) As for the superheros and superstars...If you really can't think of anything that everyone won't do (Evlis, Superwoman)...be inventive. I say dress all in green, say you're a leaf and that your special power is photosynthesis. ...Wear green eyeshadow to add to the effect. ;) Octavia
from katm6 :
I don't know...like you, I'd think this would be BIG NEWS and it'd be everywhere....
from starzero :
that's ridiculous. the government wouldn't let that happen. they'd build a nuke plant first. though power may be expensive for those who can pay. -- i figured out that i'd have better luck making an all-welsh mixcd than i would an all-scot mix. welsh: beth orton, manic street preachers, super furry animals, catatonia. scottish: the proclaimers, mogwai, boards of canada, half of the klf. canadian: sarah mclachlan, peaches, cowboy junkies, broken social scene, moist, alanis morisette, neil young, godspeed you black emperor!, the arcade fire, death from above 1979. it turns out richie hawtin was born in england....
from acornotravez :
Your profile comment for my diary made me laugh, that's FUNNY. And ND is one of the best films EVAH. "I like your sleeves. They're real big."
from vicola :
Napoleon Dynamite is indeed a classic-to-be! Unlucky about the flu, poor timing. just be thankful it wasn't your other half that got it, then it wouldn't be flu, it wouldn't even be bird flu, it would be the most horrific of all ailments, MAN FLU. Symptoms of which include chronic moaning, loud sniffing, snorting and coughing and the inability to do anything but lie on the sofa groaning for someone else to bring you a cup of tea and a Toffee Crisp. This is an ailment that is in our house at the moment and was recently also caught by my brother, who was far far too ill to make his own glass of Ribena but bravely and selflessly managed to drag his germ ridden carcass off his deathbed and down to the pub for a few ales. Brave boy.
from jennyj :
Two of my favourite films of recent times, there, and no I'm not talking about Hitch. (But I've not seen it, so maybe it'll creep into my tops list) (who knows) And thanks for sending your cold down to London, dammit. I'm the Snot Monster today.
from krugerpak007 :
Hope you are feeling better! xoxox Kathy
from ladyvaduva :
YAYAYAYAY FOR NAPOLEON DYNAMITE!! I love that movie.. its so silly its funny! hopefully u're on ur way to feeling better!!
from starzero :
's, nap d. is an exel f.
from katm6 :
I seem always to get the killer cold/flu/etc. the week between Christmas and New Year's - you know, the week I don't have to work...yeah, that one.
from clarity25 :
You have to be Supergirl, of course:). It's simple..just a form fitting superman shirt, maybe some hot pants and a cape. Of course go-go boots. (I'm sure you're looking at this comment in confusion. "WHAT?!") Yeah, you should never ask me for costume advice. Nevermind.
from katm6 :
I'm so with kristoli on this one. I avoid costume parties as a general rule because I am not the least bit creative. One of the last ones I attended I went as a "Rabid Race Fan" and wore my own clothes and just added multiple stop watches and race credential holders and my Andretti jacket. I was toasty warm as it was freezing, but all the girls who came as the slutty witches, etc. were freezing their fool butts off. Superhero/star? How about Cat Woman - wear slinky black and I have a pair of black cat ears that I could mail to you.
from vicola :
I too am not a fancy dress person because I always end up lloking like a slapper while Cass (best mate) looks like glamourous star. You could go as Madonna (second hand corset top from Ebay, pinstripe trousers, ponytail a la In Bed With Madonna). That's the only one I have successfully pulled off. Oh, and do you not find that if you have a cheeky dream about someone, they are always more attractive in the dream than in life?
from kristoli :
Yeah, when did halloween and dressing up become an opportunity to make yourself look as glam and sexy as possible? Drove me insane all those years I turned up at the pub dressed as a witch wearing binbags, big mole and hook nose only to find that all other witches looked like they had escaped from a beautiful fetish ball and even the men looked all swish.... how disappointing. As for ideas's sorry, I'm fresh out, recently I have been copping out and just going as a witches cat, little black dress, ears, whiskers etc now I have realised the plan is to still look shaggable while being dressed up as something goulish, superhero's hmmm that is tough, what about x-men type stuff or that animation film that has superhero children in it, maybe they could inspire, it's either that or latex and proper comic book hero's....ack.
from mousemilk :
Also, well done with keeping the mix chain flame alive.
from mousemilk :
I read that as "every single time we were very nearly at I.T." and wondered why you couldn't use the accounts dept. instead, which would inevitably be quieter. Fancy dress - why not combine superheros and superstars and go as, say, Jackoman, who rescues people trapped in burning buildings by getting their kids drunk and touching their cocks?
from acornotravez :
Ok, I added him as a fave, I'm shameless!
from onewetleg :
just wear a slip with a piece of paper pinned to it that says freud. you will be a freudian slip! get it! yeah!
from chicagojo :
Here ya go for the super heroes party: Lois Lane and Clark Kent. If you find a Superman t-shirt, Bandito wears it under a suit shirt with the shirt unbuttoned. You just wear work clothes and look oblivious :)
from smedindy :
Did you get my email with the address and all?? I guess it pays to park the 'net on yer buddy list after all.
from amb1valent-k :
I was guessing by what you said that the C's were Const****** and Comm***, and the B Bern'''. So the other B would be Baltic? I used to do a class at Leith Academy and get the 16 bus back to Granton.
from starzero :
i'm kind of partial to themes. it helps me organize the cd. otherwise, well, it'd be crazy. for instance, my dreaded xmas2005 mix isn't going to have a theme, per se. certainly no xmas music. it's going to be terror, and then some.
from katm6 :
I completely forgot to comment on the velvet cloak - it sounds so incredibly fabulous! I would never in a million years have the balls to walk around in one, but oh, I wish I did!!! And if I did get a CD, I would so figure out a way to make one!
from katm6 :
You know, I'm lucky I clicked on your link since I figure you hadn't updated since I didn't get a message. *sigh* I do understand though. And although I'd dearly love a CD with random and new music on it, I don't have the wherewithal to burn a CD, so I guess I can't play. DAMMIT!
from girlsdontcry :
He thinks of EVERYTHING (although I resent being called Mr Greedyface).
from kristoli :
Okay, worse than I thought..... 9th.
from kristoli :
Curses, I am so completely out of the loop it's embarrassing to count, what was I 8th!!! Gah.
from acornotravez :
8, damn.
from yeahimadork :
Damn. Too late. Um, I have a question... what is a punter? I must know, because any time I can use UK slang to make fun of my friends and not have them know it is good times (i.e. convincing evil co-worker Celestia that a tosser is a hot girl).
from ladyvaduva :
damn tooo far down from being first in the cd mix passing on chain thing.. lol that's sucha neato idea.. I like it! that's insane about the weird loser guy.. I'd have loved to see it though.. cape and all! LMAO! that'd be awesome! for a guestbook.. I nabbed one from signmyguestbook.com when they were still free.. now I dunno if they are ne more.. last I checked u had to pay for em now? I think? not too sure
from amb1valent-k :
Huh 5th! And would there be another B street close by too?
from krugerpak007 :
Ooof, and I am 4th...but am willing to burn a great Hebrew mix if anyone is interested, eh eh um, but I guess not..since I have offered and only 1 or 2 have taken me up on the offer. Anyway you have a good weekend, and I didn't realise Dumbledore dies..I am way behind...xoxox Kathy
from starzero :
signmyguestbook.com seems to do guestbooks pretty well, for free. at least, mine works. and, well, i'm a mr. greedyface, but i'd be 3rd anyway so bugger all. your entry reminded me of the mix i wanted to make, which would be songs all relating to a specific person from my past, but my restriction to american artists (a silly thing, that) kind of stopped it (the proclaimers, for example, are not american). i should have been more eclectic, but listening to it i felt it should flow better than was happening. and should have a theme. well, there you go.
from girlsdontcry :
I'm not first, I'm second! And ineligible, probably (although do the rules go in to that much detail?) Anyway, hurrah for the CD chain! HI! HOW ARE YOU? *swooshes off wearing a cloak*
from smedindy :
I'm asking for it! Am I first?
from katm6 :
I've done the same thing with a random plastic container. I now only heat things up in officially approved microwaveable things. Have you ever put tin foil in a microwave? That's a good time - if you like fire.
from vicola :
A piss cup? I'm guessing, and from what you said I think I'm right. Do they have an outside lav, 3 miles down the road which is shared with 78 other families leaving a queue three quarters of a mile long in the morning? Because that's the only reason I can think of that anyone would have a 'piss cup'. And for god's sake, if you're going to take a slash in an item of crockery, don't leave it in the kitchen for any unsuspecting victim to come across. I am shocked AND appalled. Rare for me! Liked the guest entry in Clarity's diary by the way.
from fridayfilms :
Hi, and thanks for the add! I'm going to take a peek at your diary as well, when I have a moment :)
from ironic-lips :
Hey...referred over here from your entry on clarity's dland. :) And on your recent entry...in the future, don't bother waiting for ice cream to melt...pop it on for 15 seconds, maybe 30...that way the outside is cold but the center is all melted and warm. A strange but delicious concotion :) octavia ps. If you get any other notes from me today, it's because I'm randomly surfing your entries while I wait for my hair dye time to be up. Love the entries I've read so far though.
from lettynow :
Hi I just read your guest entry on Calrity's diary... Umm I haven't read you yet. but if you see your stats go into o0ver drive it's probably me!! THat was fabulous.
from smedindy :
Eeeeeewwww! Hey, good writing and I found you at clarity. Check my stuff out. I'm adding you, whether you like it or not! Oh, and I don't what I would do if someone neglected our cats. Well, I'd do SOMETHING.
from clarity25 :
A PISS CUP?!? lol, I'm sorry to hear that. You handled it well though:). Thanks for agreeing to be a guest writer in my journal! Here's how it works. When you click "Add an Entry", You'll see an option above the text box to update CLARITY25. Click that and it will bring you to a new textbox. press post entry when you're finished on Wednesday and it'll be placed into my diary.:), thank you! I hope you have a good week!
from katm6 :
Okay, disgusting...that's all I have to say. Have you thought about buying the upstairs tenants a decent shower curtain just to save your own ceiling and walls? Probably cheaper and less hassle in the long run.
from starzero :
piss is generally sterile, so you're probably ok. though you never know what trace elements are in the piss, and what those might do to you. considering it's been rinsed out, i wouldn't worry too much about it. though you might mention the sugar situation.
from katm6 :
Why do people feel obligated "to hold it together" at funerals? I do the same thing and try bloody hard not to cry. Why do we do this? We'd be so much better off getting it out of our system. And I completely would have lost it when R's little friends went up to light the candles. I would have been sobbing and snuffling and wishing I had brought more tissue. Definitely have that talk with Bandito. These things are best off said - it sucks, but God willing, you won't need to worry about the details for many many many years. *hugs*
from glass-arcade :
I'm really sorry for your stepbrother's family. I can't imagine what I'd do if it were my son. There really aren't any words for this type of thing, "I'm sorry for your loss" seems so small but know that someone over the pond has you and yours (and especially that little boy's mother) in her thoughts.
from katm6 :
Get back to normal when you're ready - don't rush it for us. We're here for you.
from bluperspex :
and it doesn't matter how careful you are...'things' always seem to happen.
from acornotravez :
thinking of you and your fam...
from starzero :
generally, thoughts in my head come out of my mouth. especially with baby. sometimes they even work.
from chicagojo :
I'm so sorry to hear about the boy. That's just terrible.
from starzero :
will talk to sister tonight -- i do in fact reveal a lot about myself, or i have already and you're coming in late. i'm happy to answer any questions you might have, though. that's probably easier than reading through the whole diary, as it is now quite long.
from katm6 :
I'm so sorry to hear about your stepbrother's brother. 10-years-old is much too young to die for any reason. My heart goes out to your family at this time. And thanks for the reminder that you never know what life will bring. *hugs*
from clarity25 :
I'm so sorry, that's horribly tragic. It made me reflect fully on how lucky I am that despite everything that has occured in my life. All my immediate family members are alive. There has been no tragic accident that has taken any of them away, it's only distance and circumstances that separate us. For that I should be infinitely grateful. Your entry made realize this entirely. Sometimes you can get a small wake up call through other people's words. I am so sorry for your family's loss. I wish I knew the right thing to say to something like that, but children dying at such a young age like that always leaves me speechless. Especially since my youngest sister is 10 years old. I'm sorry.
from kristoli :
I am so sorry for your families loss, it's absolutely heartbreaking, the german got a phone call last week to say that his little nephew (the absolute light of his life) was cycling home from school and was hit by a car, he was comparatively lucky, hit his head and shattered one leg but he is now in hospital, I'm sure will end up almost as good as new and will probably only have fun memeories of his time eating hospital food and watching the tv shows he is normally considered too young for, of course all the adults around him know just how lucky he was, it's a very good idea to just for a moment think of something sweet to do for your brother or sister, I have just spent the last two days with my little sister who has been incredibly supportive throughout my job interview trauma, a day of shopping and coffee shops and yesterday, a day of pubbing, it was lovely.
from teachin-usa :
That's really tragic.
from ladyvaduva :
yayay for singing along to the smiths! and the love of green and bamboo too! yayayayay!! w00t b00t t00t!
from mousemilk :
The good thing about singing along to The Smiths is that you *have* to do it in a Morrissey voice.
from chicagojo :
Have you considered a list of 101 things to do in 1001 days? I love my list!
from starzero :
i miss regular coke, because i gave up excess sugar. i interned at a studio and the engineer kept thinking i meant white powder when i talked about coke. i have a 9-yr-old boy. he's the man. i've not been with anyone longer than 3 yrs. house of flying daggers is boring. finding nemo is fun. i make annoying music. x-girlfriends don't give shit back. nor should they. green. i should ride my bike. not simply more, but at all. i freak the dance floor but my technique is, uh, lacking. give me a beat! wind me up, watch me go.
from atavist :
hee. if they have their own boobs then surely that will reduce the number of rapes? (using their logic anyway)
from atavist :
screw that, as revenge i'm going to start taking huge doses of the pill so i can excrete even more oestrogen into the water supply and have the whole male population man-boobed
from ladyvaduva :
I sure hope the 1 and 1/2 to 2 years just whizzes by at the speed of lite lmao.. and then I'll be FREEEEEEEEE!!!!!! and I will definetly do some serious travelling and come and harass you lol!
from pissymystic :
*gazing in wonder* Wow...
from ladyvaduva :
I would so admire you from afar u know it LMAO!
from ladyvaduva :
agreeeeddd!!! hopefully this weekend will be better.. that sucks that u had a crappy weeekend.. :-( *big big hugs* and if I had a way to send you some of wazzy's moonshine I would lmao!
from buck88 :
if youd just let me have bandito for the weekend it would nt have been a problem wud it??
from pissymystic :
Oh, no, that's not a problem anymore. I need to change that entry; thanks for reminding me! And thanks for adding me, as well.
from mavenhaven :
What I've been listening to: Sarah Blasko, Feist, The Arcade Fire, The Frames, Shirley Bassey (seriously), and lots of other stuff--but the thing I'm liking the most right now is Big Star, #1 Record. Yeah, it's old, but they're the band nobody's heard of that influenced everyone. There's one kind of crap song, but otherwise it's pretty kick-ass.
from chicagojo :
Nope, I don't normally play music in the house. I have a handful of CDs from an ex, but they just sit in the CD binder in my office.
from starzero :
tv on the radio. broken social scene. stars.
from chicagojo :
I'm way dorky. There's no music in my household. Sorry to be of no help.
from katm6 :
Okay, apparently my last note was not clear. I highly highly recommend No Cities Left by The Dears. They're a Canadian band from Montreal and I knew about them before they were on Letterman (so I thought I was way cool).
from kristoli :
It must quite literally be years since I last bought a ceedee so I don't have any recommendations at all, how crap. Sorry.
from pissymystic :
You're very welcome. And very interesting, which explains my adding you. :)
from acornotravez :
hey - thanks for adding me as a fave, man. -Acorn
from katm6 :
The last CD I bought that I completely obsessed over was No Cities Left by The Dears. I like the Pixies but never got into Frank Black on his own, so take my recommendation for what it's worth. ;-)
from amb1valent-k :
Nest-building?
from ladyvaduva :
its all about the sexual acrobatics now isn't it? lol thats the only reason I come to read about u! lol! totally kidding.. I love your diary u're a wonderful hootchie in the bestest sense of the word! hugs!
from starzero :
no, not working. try idiolect1 at netscape dot net. and give me some time to make the cd. mixes are special, and tricky.
from katm6 :
Oops, that's right, I can't read the Poisonwood Bible because I sent it to Clarity. Good for me. ;-) Must be nice to have a good tent so that when it rains it doesn't seep in and through the hole in your mat and get your undies all wet.
from clarity25 :
I've read the Poisonwood bible too, a few months ago. It took me some time to get into it, but then I really enjoyed it. I liked your observations from your window..and that was a REALLY interesting article to read. I think I might put it in my next entry, considering the topic fits with what I've been writing about. P.S. You would LOVE the sims. It's addictive though and you need a really fast computer to play it. The requirements are a little insane, but it's worth it. It will blow you away. Oh and did you ever check out that Moove.com site?
from katm6 :
Ahem, I didn't get my notification that you updated. ;-) You're really enjoying The Poisonwood Bible? I've had it for years (someone gave it to me) and have had absolutely zero interest in reading it. Can you say why you're enjoying it so much? And I think it's more selfish to have a child when you're not ready for it, be it financially or emotionally, or if someone just has a kid because it's expected.
from girlsdontcry :
You think the brown paper bag has a BACON roll in it? YOU'RE BECOMING OBSESSED. When was the last day you had without bacon, or without talking or thinking about bacon, just ask yourself Heeland Lass! YOU NEED HELP.
from atavist :
since reading that article i have seen the error of my ways. from now on i will abandon dreams of a better paying job so i might one day have a home of my own, wear only skirts and heels, stop falling for idealistic but low salaried men and concentrate on getting me a man with a high sperm count, no commitment phobia, money to support me and my gaggle of snots and move the the burbs.
from kristoli :
Ooohhh, congratulations, you know you've not really arrived on d-land until you have been abused by guestbook, notes or email and by a religous nut as well?! So much the better, that's like the gold standard! Some of us have only dreamed of the day we get abused by a religious nut *sighs*
from clarity25 :
I missed the first entry..I popped in at lunch, but was pulled into a meeting..come back and it's gone. Well, it seems like you have whatever it was decided. I'm sorry to hear about the internet troll. You put that person in his or her place quite beautifully. You Go!!
from atavist :
oh my, sounds like you are being emailed by a girl i used to work with. *shudder* you may have to say 10 hail marys or have 10 bloody marys to recover - i can't remember which is right.
from katm6 :
You go, girl!!! And if it pisses off the Religious Right, more power to you!!! Continue what you're doing!!! ;-)
from yelayna :
I was going to pop back later to add my tuppenceworth, but it seems you're all decided, and I suspect I was only going to say what everyone else has! Ignore the evil one. Happy's what's good for you :o) xxx (unless you're murdering people to make you happy, which I think probably comes under the heading of "disapproved of" activities. Still, you aren't! Where was I? Oh, close bracket...) xxx
from starzero :
hedonism good, christians bad.
from kristoli :
Heh... Leith, yeah that's where I go, kind of, I travel back into town on the no 11 bus! Oooh stalkerishness ;)
from kristoli :
Sounds like LadiesMan needs a friend and if you are able to be that for him then so much the better, he might be really going through an awful time, maybe has drifted away from other friends. I would keep bandito informed but what harm would a drink and letting him have a whine about how badly things have gone lately. Speaking as someone who lost contact with all my old friends from my student days etc, your reaction about 'not needing any other friends' is exactly the thing that would stop me asking any of them out for a drink if I found their contact details and exactly the kind of thing I convince myself they would NOT be thinking in an attempt to pick up the courage to do it. The fact that you don't fancy him at all is a good thing surely?
from katm6 :
My thoughts are these: 1) make sure Bandito knows what's going on - although I'm sure you already have; 2) it sounds like the guy really needs a friend/sounding board right now and for some reason he's comfortable with you. I know you haven't seen him in 8 years and all, but he chose you, perhaps because you remind him of his young LM days or he feels you're non-judgemental and can help him through this w/o (for lack of a better term at 6:36 a.m.) judging him. I say Meet him for beers once and see how you feel afterwards. If you still have doubts then cut it off.
from girlsdontcry :
No one deserved it more than you! Maybe when it is your turn to send on a CD, you can include a free rasher of bacon with it too.
from mavenhaven :
You really need to put "say it with bacon" on a t-shirt.
from starzero :
i like the way brits talk/write, so i'll probably come back. y'all seem to have more style than we americans do.
from starzero :
you probably live far away, but that's ok. i'm so disorganized i don't know when you'll get the cd but: YOU'RE A WINNER! now all you have to do is send me your address (starzero at diaryland dot com should work) and i'll get that mix together as quickly as itunes and paralegal coursework allows. in the meantime you can scour my diary for clues as to what sort of terrifying junk you will be receiving.
from clarity25 :
"My door: I am closed" - for some reason that line sent me into a fit of giggles. I really really have to lay off the coffee OR the "muppets", either one would probably work. Bacon IS an odd gift. I wouldn't know what to do with something like that or how to respond. You handled it well:). Eric's guardian mother has brought over entire chickens once. THAT was odd. (they were dead..but still had some feathers. I nearly fainted. I honestly think she breeds them in her backyard) As for the boxset weekend, we had gotten a gift from Amsterdam. think: "up in smoke", not your standard hippie psychedelic flick again. Thanks for your last note! take care!
from katm6 :
Good thing you're not a vegetarian... ;-)
from jennyj :
It's going well! Still a bit confused and up in the air and wobbly on my feet but I can't believe I'm getting to write stories! I might update about it.
from onewetleg :
your bike will get lighter everytime you carry it up the stairs. i used to ride a one speed beach cruiser named 'veronica' in seattle. uphill. both ways. and i lived on the third floor. my arms were huge. i frightened small children.
from clarity25 :
Oh! One last thing..you asked about the sims chat thingie. It's called "Moove.com", you can sign up for the 14 day free trial. It takes a while to load the 3d graphics. I only tried it once.. I was little frightened away by the fact that people had sex in there and had subcultures..like vampires and S&M. A word of warning if you go check it out..if the character is wearing a leash..she is a slave. You can NOT talk to her directly..only her master. Yeah..craziness. seriously.
from clarity25 :
Thank you so much for your beautiful and caring notes. they meant a lot to me, you're really a wonderful friend..Okay, the sappy level is rising, I should try lower it. I just appreciated your prayers for my dad. Oh! This weekend, Eric and I were hanging out with the muppets too! We have the boxset of the first season and we went through the whole thing.. with a lot of booze amoungst other things. :). Oh and my Mom called me a "hootchie" too! When she saw me in my bathing suit in New York. She said "You're popping out of that top, But if you want to walk around looking like a hootchie..suit yourself". Eric and I were cracking up. She turned to Eric "Do you see how much the bathing suit SHOWS!" Eric just cleared his throat and said "Well, it doesn't bother me that much..to be honest". So you're mom isn't the only one. LOL
from katm6 :
Ya gotta love it when your own Mom calls you a "hoochie." I'm not even sure my mom knows what it means.
from jennyj :
They're moving to Hamilton and they're worried about the shellsuits and the cold. But they'll get nice accents! IPod cover might fit a camera too...
from ladyvaduva :
LMAO I use that word all the time serious too!! we call alota the girls "hoochies" all the time lol!! so glad someone else uses it too now! yayayay lol!!!
from jennyj :
Ha ha ha, DISASTER text message fiasco! My brother + family are moving to Scotland in a week (!!) so i'll get my 6 year old neice to work on 'hoochie'.
from kristoli :
Perfect diary entry, honestly. I need to write a calming note to my ovaries too ;) I was in your town again yesterday, I know you can be seen from a street, which street I do not know so instead I frantically stare into every window the bus/taxi/legs takes me past, no idea what you look like so actually that's not terribly helpful but if nothing else it passes the time, hmm I wonder if that was heelandlass?
from chicagojo :
When I send out something to the notify list, I merely copy and paste one sentence from my entry. I'm too lazy to type and type and type anything new.
from onewetleg :
one thing i will be doing is hanging in there. thanks, lassie.
from katm6 :
Welcome back from holiday and I'm glad the weather dancing worked. I was worried that you were wet and miserable all week. And good job telling that tory wanker where to get off!
from mavenhaven :
Your holiday sounds lovely, and your description of it was very entertaining to boot.
from onewetleg :
ty lassie. haha, mr. next. i shudder at the thought. glad you're back and glad you had a good time. that was a beautiful description of the storm. i also love beaches in the rain. up north rocks. seattle, washington comes to mind.
from clarity25 :
Thanks for your note, I've never been called a "Saucy Minx" before! I started laughing. I'm so glad to hear that the weather dance worked! Your holiday sounded great, so happy to hear that you had a good time! By the way.. What are "Minstrels" and why don't you wear "White things"? I just have to know! P.S. I know all the words to the chiquita banana advert too.:)
from pablo :
Welcome home, treacle! I'm about to set pff for the Everglades from Fort Lauderdale and drive down Alligator Alley - whhat could possibly go wrong? Talk to you soon. Px
from betchy :
i love you i love you i love you!!!! i am crap at blogspot. i sound like a complete spod when i update over there, so i am going to save myself for spectacular d-land entries!!!! i am doing my good weather dance as we speak , and all the people in the internet cafe i am in think i am odd, even though i'm doing it quietly. i'm so jealous that you met d-land people before i got to meet you!!!! right. thats it. i'm coming to Scotland. and we are getting hammered. end of. well when i've got some money. and some holiday at work. so many things i need to talk to you about, e mail me soon!!! oh, and when i was ill? i lost nearly a stone!!! ye ha!
from clarity25 :
I'll have my fingers crossed for you and do your special good weather dance on my behalf:). Enjoy your eight days off! Hope you have a great time!
from discodave :
Yeah, I got home fine, ta. Lovely to meet you, but it sounds like I had a lucky escape - I hadn't had dinner, so the pints I had were enough to give me a headache today. God only knows what sort of state I'd have been in with tequila thrown in... Dxx
from kristoli :
Yay for meeting new people and drinking tequila with them! I am a sad sad wuss that hides under a rock whenever anyone mentions meeting new people. I sincerely hope thw weather improves for you but I hate to say it definitely feels autumnal out there now, I am shivering at my desk, I'll send all good weather thoughts your way in any case :)
from chicagojo :
Titwank! I love it!
from katm6 :
If I drank coffee after a night of tequila I'd be sooooooo ill. I love tequila but it does not feel the same way about me. Have a great vacation and I shall send special no rain vibes to Scotland for you.
from discodave :
Cheers, m'dear - Paul texted me, so I'll see you around 6 or 7 tonight. (I don't really use MSN these days, but thanks for adding me, anyhow). See you later, hon. Dxx
from discodave :
Any idea what the deal is tomorrow, I don't know what time we're meant to be meeting up? Be goid to meet you too, hon. Dxx
from bluperspex :
aah. yes. drunk darts. i have a hole in my big toenail from the very same thing. that shit is dangerous :)
from pollymagoo :
I thought of it as a teepee, but maybe it WAS a yurt? I'd like to think they were the same people, but there are a lot of them out there, I fear.
from pollymagoo :
Lordy, I went away for the weekend and failed you in your time of need. I hope you reached something like the right decision. Or that's what the good bit of me hopes. The bad bit is jealous that you've got E4 and hopes you had a power cut so you'll have to wait and watch it on real telly at the same time as me.
from buck88 :
but dorothy parker didnt say that did she?, ooh you have a note about pat benetar!, i LOVE pat benetar.
from onewetleg :
pat benetar is great break up music. so empowering. 'heartbreaker, dream maker, love taker doncha mess around with me!' great enty, lass. love, jj
from clarity25 :
Thank you so much for your last note. This is going to sound sappy, but it made me cry. It was exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you so much for your support and for caring. Oh and I know what you mean about that feeling like your "17 again in your doc Martins"..I just had that during the car ride home from the beach. They played this old song called "In the Meantime" by the Spacehogs. It brought me back, I closed my eyes and it was really a trip. For me.. break ups usually were accompanied by Nine Inch Nails.. "Hey pig..Yeah you..Hey pig piggie pig.." I took the angry I-don't-need-this-crap approach after being left heartbroken in my highschool years.
from katm6 :
Irish accents are quite lovely, but in my book nothing tops a Scottish accent. I just swoon when I hear a Lovely Scottish Boy speak. *sigh*
from buck88 :
behind banditos back, HOW CUD YOU???
from jennyj :
All in the name of resarch, heelandlass, all in the name of research...
from jennyj :
Hmm, well I love a harsher Edinburgh accent and a softer Glasgow accent in particular. Fife and Perth, they're nice accents. Ewan ... sigh...
from jennyj :
What do you think the Irish man was telling you? Ha. Of course they are hott! I mean, it's a personal preference of mine but I'm pretty sure I'm not the only person who thinks so.
from jennyj :
Dude! Scottish boys DO have it! You can't tell it because you are one of them. Poor thing, not being able to appreciate it.
from jennyj :
Ha ha, but this Irish guy I used to speak to (hmm, never met him but had late night chats, rather odd) said that as a teenager he and his mates loved going Interrailing because all the French girls were used to French boys just tipping them the wink and being arrogant that when these horny Irish boys came who were used to Irish girls never putting out, who would beg the French girls to 'please kiss us, please' they loved it. And them. And the accents, probably.
from jennyj :
Lord I agree and I wish it wasn't so. It makes things so easy for them!
from mousemilk :
At Clapham it was Thrills, Alabama 3, BSP, Yeti. If you find the forum on the official BSP site someone's posted some Tartan Heart photos (inc bear).
from mousemilk :
Well, actually those are my photos from the Clapham gig, but link away, lady. I've got more if you want them. In fact there's a wee movie of mine you might enjoy: http://s61.yousendit.com/d.php?id=4WU3FMJAR2WW3A4XB7OZ9YUC8
from katm6 :
"Alabama 3 came on and it was a bit boring (because all their songs are exactly the same but with different words)" - This is exactly how I describe The Smithereens - what a boring friggin' concert that was. And yes, The Proclaimers have made it to this side of the pond thanks to Benny & Joon's use of their song "Walk 500 Miles." I saw them in concert twice and thought they put on a very good show.
from mousemilk :
Poo. I knew that wouldn't work. Check out the photy's anyway.
from mousemilk :
I've seen photos from the festival on the British Sea Power site. It looked wet. The Bees are ace. The first, second and last tracks off <I>Free the Bees</I> in particular. I'm delighted you've seen British Sea Power. I saw them the previous w/e for the eleventh or twelfth time, in the company of people who've seen them over 200 times. You neglected to mention a vital element of their stage act. Perhaps you were so stoned you thought you <a href="http://mousemilk.diaryland.com/images/bspclapham030x.jpg">imagined</a> <a href="http://mousemilk.diaryland.com/images/bspclapham024x.jpg>it</a>. <br><br> Also, I hope you watched Brakes, currently my favey band.
from girlsdontcry :
The Proclaimers did have a couple of hits in Australia (how they managed to get anyone to think of them as rock stars is a mystery though). Mostly, accents get lost when people start singing but their Scottish accent seem to come through loud and clear (and not just when they sing "havering").
from katm6 :
I know exactly what you mean. I'm super busy but doing what??? Where does the time go? And why am I so tired all the time? Have a great time at the Tartan Fest, and I'll keep my fingers crossed you don't get rained upon!
from atavist :
i think perhaps weird science veers too much into horny teen territory (has more in common with american pie than brekky club) but About Last Night was indeed a terrible oversight on my part.
from clarity25 :
I really loved your list. I'm going to have to give that a shot. Btw I posted the Sushi-making instructions today in my recent post. Sorry for the delay, I meant to do that last week. I hope you're able to follow the directions, tell me how it turns out if you give it a go!

from ladyvaduva :
I love the list.. I'll have to thank jenny! lol and thanks to you.. I did one my self and basically posted the same directions you did.. I was so bored and I knew it'd kill some time and honestly it did.. plus it was really hard.. to think of stuff.. it really made me think.. thanks again toodles
from jennyj :
Waving! Waving is GREAT. I am smiling at your list and I'm only at #10. Not sure I can condone #38 though, missy. #54 is sad though as the one I got got lost on the way back from a job interview I didn't succeed at :( Did you notice that my number 46 was Edinburgh? I'm getting withdrawal symptoms as I've not been up ALL YEAR and I still can't afford to. Extremely sad face.
from clarity25 :
Thank you so much for the caring note you left in my private diary. That was so comforting and helped me keep things in the right perspective. You're truly amazing, thank you so much for taking the time to help me see things differently and giving me a boost of confidence concerning my decision. You're so right!
from clarity25 :
"...complete fucking numbskull horsey faced ya’s" LOL! that had me cracking up. Sorry to hear you're in a funk and I'm sorry to hear those fuckers took your bike wheel. UGH! Hope things look better soon, -Love, Clarity
from onewetleg :
i also punch through water in my dreams. so frustrating. i want to beat the face off of someone and they just laugh at me. i think it sybolizes feeling powerless about something. xoxox, jj
from reynedecoupe :
Coz its <a href = "site"> word </a> I am such a know-nothing-know-it-all sometimes. Gah. I too reflect the weather, I must say that it sucks. In dreams though, I am the opposite. My punches are all Hidden Tiger and cool and shit. For what its worth, *hugs*. Hope things get better for you.
from kristoli :
wrong brackety thing sweetie, however, what do I know, I've spent so long in lj-land that I can barely remember how to update in d-land. the weather is crappity do-da at the minute, it feels like autumn and that to me means buying woollen things and looking for the perfect boots that I will never find and certainly not for the under Ł20 that is the only amount I can justify spending ever, on anything, it's going to be a shock when the sun comes back, I beginning to think longingly of christmas. oh and don't mention the football, I'm in denial.
from yelayna :
I'm really sorry to hear about your bike. In an effort to cheer you up, I'll send you a link which has made me giggle all day: http://www.knight-foundation.com/askdavid.html We asked it if we should hire people, and allocated interviews on our interpretation of it's answers...
from katm6 :
I hate fuckers who steal from others. If they put that much effort into a fucking job they wouldn't need to steal other people's hard-earned bike wheels. I've seen in Toronto who take their back tire with them after they lock up the rest of the bike. Who knew a back tire would do anybody any good?
from saru-san :
Once, the night before I was to take a trip home to visit my family, and with my luggage and such stowed securely in the trunk (boot) of my car, I stayed with a friend who lives about 2 hours closer to the airport than I did at the time. While we were out having a few drinks at a bar, somebody broke into my car and stole EVERYTHING. I had to buy clothes at the airport. Those bastards! And I loathe the bastards who stole your wheel equally as much. Hanging's too good for 'em! They need to be strapped to a giant tire (tyre) and rolled into a pit of broken glass. And acid. And salt. SEA salt! Bastards...
from clarity25 :
ouch..Sorry to hear about bouncing on your "fanny". That must have been painful and frustrating. I've had moments like that too on my own bike, though not for the same reason. I'm just a spaz, there's no explanation for it. P.S. I loved the Jungle Book soundtrack! "Look for the bare necessities..the simple.."
from girlsdontcry :
Thanks for being so gracious about the competition, I'm just sorry we couldn't both have won it. (And if the CD is rubbish I can send it to you anyway). Er, just kidding, Mousemilk.
from ladyvaduva :
me loves your diaryland.. so glad to chat with you that time on msn.. hope to do it more often.. it was nice that little chance encounter! cheers
from yelayna :
Ow ow ow ow ow!!!
from kristoli :
Oh god are you me? I also had a bizarre fever when I was about 9, out of conscienceness for about a month then total weakness for another couple of months, then I went back to school and all my hair fell out, it never full recovered, damn pathetic thin hair, of course having pathetic hair doesn't cause me to crash into stuff, okay you're not me, poor poor fanny ;)
from girlsdontcry :
Ow. But didn't you get a ladies' bike (which I always thought was designed to let you wear skirts and ride, but is obviously designed to avoid painful crossbar/fanny incidents)?
from saru-san :
I swear, I didn't laugh at all until I got to "but that's a whole other entry." Then I lost it.
from discodave :
heh - yeah, I very nearly got my nose broken thanks to one of those damn stools... Dxx
from amb1valent-k :
Sorry - I'm like done.

Thanks for the tag - I'm done.
from waspman :
Face it. We're becoming America anyway. Might as well not fight it!
from clarity25 :
Thanks so much for the shout out! That was so cool of you!:) I couldn't help but smile and feel all loved and mushy! I liked the photos you posted, it looked so peaceful in that one shot of the chairs lined up overlooking the water. I also agreed with your five rants. It's true, downloading music will never feel the same as having a new cd to unwrap..flipping through the booklet..going through each song and feeling excited. Anyhow, I'll be sure to ask the book of Answers your question..I hope it comes up as "YES", because I know I'd sure like to see it. Speaking of entries, I just realize I completely missed my 300th..I'm bad with these "diaryland aniversary milestones". Maybe I'll just delete a bunch of them and say "Hey look it's my 300th!". lol..man, I have to lay off the coffee. Have a good weekend!
from satellitebob :
crazy... just last night i was working on a cd in my head for ya. it may end up being two. I will begin working on it next week.
from amb1valent-k :
Jings! It's a wonder we never bumped into each other isn't it!
from kristoli :
Oooh I love those little disposable barbeques, we used two of them this week already, our neighbours must hate us ;) Great pictures though.

oh lordy, not only is he covered in spunk, he is a complete hunk of spunk, make buck realy jealous-mission complete. if you run out of uses for bandito pls pass him on. x
from amb1valent-k :
Yep - Lower Granton Road, next to the Wardie Hotel (almost as classy as Lidl!). Moved out in December 1984 - you may not have been born by then!

I think plastic grocery bags for camping are actually perfect...who's going for classy when you're sleeping outside and not showering?
from buck88 :
argh, i missed it, your practically a porn peddlar, AGAIN AGAIN!!.
from buck88 :
looks lovley like, altho bandito is blurred i can still tell he is hott to trott and am totally jealous, plus am jealous of tres bon location, i am all round seething with envy. SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU POST PHOTOS?
from satellitebob :
hello. i wouldn't laugh AT you, it would be more WITH you. and about that shower with the old lady... you can really make that happen?
from amb1valent-k :
So - did you go for that drink in the Cramond Inn? Get across to Cramond Island? We walked over there the night before number one son was born, I guess it brought him on. Er... you have to be heavily pregnant for it to have that effect obviously..!
from katm6 :
Sad, really, but even after looking up Daniel Bedingfield I still don't really have a clue who he is - even though his website quite annoyingly played a song (presumably of his) on a loop.
from katm6 :
I agree that 1:00 p.m. is a tad early to be asking someone to turn their music - unless they have an infant, but even then, it's good for the little tyke to learn how to sleep through anything! I highly recommend Ministry's "In Case You Didn't Feel Like Showing Up" album/record/tape/CD for some good neighbor-annoying music.
from satellitebob :
if you fell off your bike I would point and laugh. but then I would give you an ice cold lone star. texas beers are good at one thing... no not the taste, they are like water that gets you drunk. it really is nice on a hot ass day. or after a heat stroke struck you from your bike.
from mousemilk :
I would put up with quite shitty neighbours to have a flat in Edinburgh. I love flats in Edinburgh. The big, light, strange-shaped, high-ceilinged echoey-communal-staired stoney beauties.
from clarity25 :
Of course I'll share the "secret to sushi making", You're not the first person who asked me about that. I was going to write an entry on how to make sushi, with in-depth instructions:). THe hardest part is the rice, the rest is a cake walk and quite fun.
from onewetleg :
i was just reading my comments and saw yours about googling your name. i feel for you. my name is one wet leg, after all. the greatest thing i ever did for my google hits was type the phrase "the first time i ever saw a penis..." holy crap! poor things, they must be awfully disappointed when they read the actual entry. im glad you and yours are ok, love always, jj
from clarity25 :
I was just reading my last two notes..anyone else that reads it is probably thinking "Dude WTF is in her closet?!"
from clarity25 :
Oh lord, your neighbors sound just like mine! Well..thanks for the vote of confidence. Man, I'm so nervous. Watch me make a total fool of myself. Haha..Okay, time to start laying the foundation for my plan of attack. Otherwise that thing's going to start collecting cobwebs in the hallway closet.:), I'll let you know how it goes! Take care!
from clarity25 :
These bombings hit me hard too..I was so saddened and numb at the same time. I hate the state of the world today. P.S. thank you for your excellent advice. I agree..you use yours, I'll use mine. I'm planning on pulling it out of the closet tonight. Wish me luck. I hope you have a good weekend
from meepful :
hiya, we're fine, fine.. though still slightly numbed. my dearheart and i were just about to leave for the city when his mobile went off shrieking cheerily with bad news. still not sure how to compute it all though, just sense of surreal dis-ease. thanks for your note though; i know what you mean about suddenly feeling very british, surrealism seems to do that x
from chicagojo :
Some jackhole wasn't thinking yesterday and parked his car with his flashers on outside Chicago federal building. He was just running in for a second, but the men in black were called and came rushing in their black suburbans to check it out.
from jennyj :
Strange, yesterday at home I couldn't get enough of the news, same as Sept 11th. But today on the tube I couldn't bear to look at the front cover of the Metro (which EVERYONE else was reading). Esp when we got to Bethnal Green and the driver said that because of a security alert the train would not stop at Liverpool St - where I needed to change. Everyone flinched and then pretended they hadn't and after a while I felt a strange sense of calm. (Think it was the man at Bank platform with a very cheery voice, saying 'Welcome! to Bank station!) Anyway. Point being that the distance seems to affect things. I can't bear to think about it when I'm in the tube but otherwise need to know everything.
from bluperspex :
is anyone ever really... okay? but i called too. and my friends... are all safe. yours?
from reynedecoupe :
Thanks for adding me :) I hope all your loved ones are safe!
from kristoli :
I'manidiot, posting my own message to my own notes section... sshhh you weren't supposed to notice. I didn't make it to Edinburgh but made up for it at Auchterarder, we were nice...promise, I saw no damage in fact I barely saw litter, everyone was very welcoming and friendly, lots of locals waving from their houses, shops open and doing great business. It was a great march, really upbeat and friendly, it's a shame the police have to be so heavy handed really. Of course everything is overshadowed today, yet another day passes where I do very little but listen to death tolls rising.
from mousemilk :
Yes, thanks for asking x
from girlsdontcry :
Me too, wish I was at home, but glad to be safe.
from pablo :
I'm all safe and sound, thank you for asking. px
from pollymagoo :
I'm ok. Everyone I know is accounted for I think. Just horrible though.
from jennyj :
Yes, thanks for your note. So glad to be at home.
from buck88 :
am home, gathering 'oks' from people, yesterday after seeing 'war of the worlds' i kept saying "god its been 4 years and NOTHING has happened", and there you go. cheeers lady. x
from atavist :
i'm working 80 miles out of london today, so no hassle for me, both my flatmates spent two hours stuck on tubes in tunnels, one made it to work, the other is walking home now. so far most friends accounted for.
from yelayna :
Thanks for your note. Just had a message from her saying she's ok but not sure what is going on but thinks it might be quite bad, it's all near her and they're not being allowed out the building, and all they can hear is helicopters everywhere. Scary shit.
from sopeculiar :
I'm ok, thanks. Though I'm not too sure if I'm going to get home from work, as all the roads are sealed. The bus went up 5 minutes from where I work. All in all - not a good day.
from atavist :
thanks for the concern - all okay here.
from yelayna :
We're good, but a number of our guys are missing and have been evacuated from offices, and more worryingly, I cant get hold of my best mate who lives and works near Aldgate... :oS Sure it's all fine... still... How's Edinburgh today?!
from onewetleg :
yeah, im feeling fine. it was late and i was tired is all. thanks, sweetie! ((hugs))
from bluperspex :
yeah. i saw that on the telly. sad. mob behaviour.
from perdidolobo :
Now you guys know how to put on a protest!!! lol All we have a re toga wearing university students marching every other Saturday down to the Legislative buildings to protest fee hikes. If it isn't those people, it's a gay rights parade or out of work loggers. all peaceful like, no rowdies. Now you take those UK folk, now they know how to get attention to their cause. Well whether you are marching or not, hope your weekend is great!
from yelayna :
Now is probably a bad time to admit that I did that endless leafleting up and down the royal mile once. I'm so sorry... ;o)
from kristoli :
I know, I don't think I've worn white since I was at school, probably about 2nd year when I last worse a white shirt! I'm stupidly pale (not a great look for white) and it's hardly the most flattering of colours for curvy girls (especially as my curves have become more prominent with the stopping smoking thing... *sigh*). At the moment I can't afford the train ticket either so I might have to support making poverty history from the comfort of my sofa...that's really bad isn't it? Just had an argument with my sister when I said I had my own poverty to deal with, she snapped 'hardly the same thing', yeah maybe not but if you have no money then you have no money *shrug* maybe the german will lend me some cash along with the rent he has to pay for me, oh and the food and the bills and the.... ;) Did I mention I was quitting the smoking? God it's boring.
from kristoli :
My problem is that I don't own anything in white!! damn these poverty campaigners, if they want to see poverty they can look at my bank balance and they still expect me to get out to the shops and get further into overdraft to buy a white top just so I can join in....bah!
from perdidolobo :
Hi ya! Thank you for the thank you's and you are very welcome. My turn, thank you very much for the kind words. I'm keeping my fingers crossed as well. Sometimes it's about all I can do too. Enjoy your down time.
from katm6 :
Oh yeah, thanks for the blurb on the Jim Carrey Spotless Mind (or whatever the damn title is) movie, because I have HUGE JC issues (he drives me insane in about 2.5 milliseconds) and I, too, did not really care for Being John Malkovich, and I *love* John Cusack. Makes me think I could put Spotless Mind or Eternal Sunshine in my Netflix queue.
from katm6 :
I saw a pic of Glastonbury where it looked like 3000 people had pitched tents in a lake. And for the record, Meg is not Jack's sister - she's his ex-wife.
from clarity25 :
Oh MAN, I always miss the sex scenes. darn! Thanks so much for your last note and your awesome E-mail.. For the record. It's my middle name.:). Not a non de plume..I love that word by the way, I remember hearing it for the first time on "Aladdin" when I was 14 I think. I looked it up because I didn't understand what he was singing about..and then I couldn't stop using it. I have to check out that book you linked now..oh and you described my house Eerily perfect. Especially the livingroom with the CD's everywhere..haha. But my bedroom is actually quite big. We only use a little bit of the space. We put everything in one part..everyone laughs when they see it. have a good weekend!
from clarity25 :
Yeah, I've been a booze monkey myself, I have to lay off that a bit. I'm going to end up drinking myself to death like a "rockstar" before the age of 27. We want a lot of the same things..such as going to bed when it's dark out, and waking up early. I'd like to open up a cookbook and start cooking actual healthy meals intead of running to the crappy supermarket down the road from our work 5 minutes before they close and grabbing some frozen pizza before they lock the doors. I would love to do some sunbathing with a glass of wine, and buy a snazzy pair of sunglasses too...*sigh* Good luck with your future bicycle adventures:), I should start using my bike more often. It's rusted and in the basement of our apartment. I'm too lazy to fix the chain.
from onewetleg :
"If it walked past me in a busy pub I would accidentally..." brilliant. Don't worry about the bad balance. It gets better after you fall off five or seven times. Helmet, good. Brain damage, bad. I should talk, though. I used to really love riding drunk and have so many scars on my knees its not funny. Love, JJ
from girlsdontcry :
No doubt I will be completely over my bicycle in about 10 minutes, so I should just post it up to you instead of you buying one, no?
from amb1valent-k :
The other odd thing about sitemeter is that it claims to tell you the time someone was on your site but that only registers when they move on to a second page - which is why all those single page visits show up as no time at all.
from saru-san :
Think of it as a site visit being an individual person coming to look at your diary, and page views being the actual pages that person looked at. So, for example, when I first visited your diary I would have counted as 1 visit, but because I went back and read 20 entries, it would have counted as 20 page views. Ta-da!
from yelayna :
Hee hee, our planets must be in the same orbit *giggling* I can't understand the nasty note droppers; you'd think that people would understand it's a diary, and that you are privileged to be reading, it doesn't give anyone the right to be mean. If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all is an old fashioned thing to say, but I think it's true! It’s odd how you end up caring more about people who are technically strangers than some of the people you see every day – I know I feel more strongly about Clarity than most of my mates I see down the pub and things. But then they don’t tell me their secrets like we get to read hers… Hmm… I seem to be in a rambling state today! xxx
from yelayna :
Thanks for your note :o) I notice we both wrote one to clarity at the same time again - I wish all that wasn't kicking off for her, she really deserves a period of nice things. She's just so very lovely. I wish I could say that without sounding so internet stalky!
from katm6 :
I'm actually a huge Midge Ure/Ultravox fan. How sweet of Clarity to recommend me.
from katm6 :
Cream-colored pants to go camping? Who does that??? Those pictures were absolutely gorgeous!!! Even the one of Midge Ure.
from betchy :
ahh just went back and read it. see thats what i thought, that it would drive a wedge, but at this moment i am so sick of all the worry the pair of them have caused me that i just want to break off all the contact i have anyway. but then i might regret that down the line. i always think to myself that maybe if i had gone to my Dad about Amy sooner, she might not have ended up with epilepsy. if i hadnt have kept issuing empty threats, if i had actually DONE something about it, she might not be the way she is now. what if the same thing happens to Lucy? at this point in time she doesnt even know that i know. why did she sit there and tell me she has still been doing speed at weekends, but blatantly deny it when she was off her face in front of me? i could see it in her eyes!!! but i let her convince me i was imagining it! what was the point in telling me half of it, then doing it under my roof and denying it to me? why couldnt she go without for one week? she must have a serious problem! so for the record, at this moment in time i am not that ok. i myself am fine, but i guess its just been one thing after another. but thanks for your advice and comments, they mean the world to me, and are very wise (as usual)
from betchy :
you've been known to take the odd tablet to help the evening along. what do you think i should do about my sister?
from clarity25 :
Hey girlie..Those Midge suckers look scary as hell in that close up. Ick! Doesn't sound too pleasant..:(. Your camping trip sounded like so much fun though..would you believe I've never gone camping! Loved the pics, so beautiful.
from mousemilk :
I am a boy what has read your diary. And now I must go for an 82-hour wank.
from kristoli :
Awww honey, I'm not gone, see I'm looking over your shoulder.....right....now! Argh, made you look, okay maybe not ;) Yes I still read you like an obsessive stalker though and look foward to your camping stories this summer, I've run out of steam at the moment though, I've been writing in diaries for so many years now it scares me! I'll be back though and I'm never far, you have my livejournal addy right?
from onewetleg :
yes, you can get a site meter with out paying. sitemeter.com can hook you up with lovely, customizable one. if you click on the site meter at the bottom of my page it will take you there. it looks kind of daunting and confusing at first, but futz around there a little and you can get the hang of what you need to use and what to ignore. have fun camping with the haps! love, jj
from katm6 :
i wish I had discovered your diary sooner. You remind me of Clarity, not in any overt way, but it's a good thing. And damn, it sounds like you're a good cook!
from clarity25 :
OMG! The part about the 82 hour erection had me cracking up..I couldn't stop laughing. Also your previous entry where you wrote about all the silly things you did..under the influence. It had me in stitches! Thank you for your last E-mail, that really meant a lot to me. I'm doing much better, that letter was truly a comfort. Thank you so much for reaching out. Aww..I'm going to get all sappy now. So I'll just leave it at that:)
from betchy :
i am from Somerset, well North Somerset, and i DO NOT pronounce it zoider!!! but many others around here too. in fact, the Thatchers Farm is only up the road. have you ever drunk Thatchers? it is the most evil zoider ever. possibly even more evil than white zoider. i had four pints of it once and it took me nearly a week to recover. evil. anyway, glad you had a mad one. daytime partying sounds coooo-el. but me and Joey tend to start drinking at early o'clock every Saturday anyway. love ya x
from lobo21 :
wicked weekend, and I mean that in the most awesome way. I think I shall live vicariously through you for a while. That is if you don't mind this absolute starnger from Canada tagging along. I've always wanted to punch TP in the grocery store, guees I'll have to start a 9am party sometime. I think university might have been the last time. time to resurrect the past. Hope you can get through the whole week with no "black" days.
from clarity25 :
sorry to hear that BECK wasn't that great, but your commentary combined with the photo of that woman's hair had me cracking up. Hope you have a good weekend!
from pollytrotsky :
"rubbishest" heehee. also, the internet refused to let me talk to you the other day
from onewetleg :
thank you lassie! i did do a little snoopy dance with my fingers and it made me feel much better. folks are scaring me with the 'kill tman' comments. lol. thanks for the positivity, thats what i need now. ((((hugs))))
from ladyvaduva :
hahah! that's bloody awesome! I'll totally invite u for sure! and it was by sheer fluke that I remembered ur msn/hotmail thingy.. cuz I had looked at it once.. and it's so different from anything I've ever heard and that's why I remembered it.. I think u're still on my list.. I'll double check any way!
from girlsdontcry :
Families, yes! What is it about getting old that makes you unable to do even the smallest thing without having a really long conversation about it where everyone ends up slightly irritated with each other? What is with that!

i'm all kinds of smooove. for the laaaadies.

I think I wrote that note at some point last night. nice new entry, very good, it flows like sentences and it all makes good sense. very proud. and thanks for keeping the cycle a cycle, now i need to go home and drink and pill and all will be better...
from satellitebob :
I want to go camping with you guys. I want to stay up late with you guys. Um, there was some other things I wanted, but I saw the page like 30 seconds ago, so yeah, i can't remember. Perhaps before I die/marry a fucking crazed psycho I should do these things. oh yeah, i want to watch 6 feet under with you guys. i fucking love that show. thats one thing that gets me and both my parents in the same room for an hour without them bickering... thats fucking powerful... i think its season three where i get a little sad. i like a program that can make me feel. season two was kind of blah to me. there are some good shots, but over all i was not digging it. how many seasons are there so far. maybe it wasnt season two. but the last one out, the one that was on hbo last, that one redeemed it all for me. but they are all fucking good. ok here is your drunk email.. ;) <-- and a fucking wink. lets drink, maybe you guys should come here.... yeeeeeaaaaaaahhhhhhhh.
from betchy :
it did sound kind of mean, and has actually brought a little tear to my eye, and i am actually quite glad i am alone at the mo' in my booth, but i know you were only saying those things because you care. i was guessing i would get that kind of note from either you or ava-reborn, i just wasnt expecting it to be quite so long or harsh!!! i know what you're saying, really i do. but i see my friends do exactly the same as i do (i.e sleep around), and they still have all the guys chasing them, even though they dont do anything different to what i do. and do you know what goes through my head every time i am about to have sex with someone? this is absolutley no word of a lie i have this same conversation with myself "Becky, why dont you try not having sex with him, then he will probably want you more" "yeah but you cant get him all the way here then not give it up, that makes you a tease" "no it wont he will respect you more and be even more horny for you" "yeah, but if you turn it down now, who knows when you will get sex again" and that is honestly what goes through my head. i know i'm a groovy person. i know that if i could put my personality into looks, i would look like Angelina Jolie (if that makes sense). but until i lose some weight, i am never going to believe that a man could want me for anything more than sex. because even when it seems that they like my persoanlity and i think "Maybe this one might see through the fat thing" then i end up friends with him. but dont worry honey i am not angry at all, in fact i feel kind of special that you care that much about me that you got so angry and spent all that time writing a note. love you too xxx
from betchy :
sometimes when i am having sex i get cramp in my left hip joint, and make a lot of noise because it hurts, and that usually fuels whoever i am having sex with into thinking that i am making the noise out of pleasure, and they start ramming me even more enthusiastically, and so the cramp gets worse, and then after the sex has finished my whole hip and leg is kind of paralysed. but thats not really the same thing is it?
from clarity25 :
Sorry to hear about the problem with your leg, I've had muscle cramps in my calves and such, but nothing exactly like you described. So I'm afraid I don't have an exciting story to share:(. I'm really happy for your friend and his situation in court. Stories I read like that give me hope concerning the situation with my brother. As for the image on my template, that's the actress Franka Potente from the movie "Run Lola Run", but I posted a picture of half of my face (it was the originally whole face..but I lost courage when Eric said anyone could click on my diary and immediately recognize me. I'm such a wimp when it comes to posting images of myself.) Have a great weekend!
from chicagojo :
Each time I do yoga (twice a week), my toes freak the fuck out. I don't know what they're doing either.
from betchy :
i watched that Pete Doherty thing! man! the guy making the film was a COMPLETE freakass in the highest degree!!! i'm sorry though i do think that Pete (as his friends call him) is absolutley gorgeous. even when he is completely gouging out and dribbling, he still has an air about him. yes, he would get it. mmmmm. also, i'm with you on Lentil soup. my Granddad makes me pots of lentil soup occasionally and i eat it for a week. love it.

well....here goes. i have met a guy on this dating website, interrodate (which is the only one that doesnt get blocked from my work). i really liked him and everything was fine. we were chatting on line every day and texting and talking on the phone. he was hoping to come and see me, but then his Mum fellill. i told him not to worry about coming but he was determined to still try. anyway, he was meant to come on the Friday, and on The Wednesday i just asked him if he could definately let me know because my friend wanted me and him to join her and her bloke for dinner, bt they needed to book the table. so that was all i asked. was he definatley coming or could he let me know. he got really cross with me and said that i had hurt, angered and upset him!!! anyway, we didnt talk for a while and now we are talking again, and he is blowing hot and cold. one day he wont leave me alone, the next i cant get a text back for love nor money! i havent written about it in my diary because to be honest i know i am just going to get loads of comments saying that i'm wasting my time and he's messing me about etc. but i really like him!!! i like him more than i like anyone in real life at the moment, more than i have liked anyone in a long time. when we chat on the phone he doesnt seem strange or anything, he is always really chatty and really lovely. i just dont know. please help Heelandlass.
from betchy :
Heelandlass, i know what a wise woman of the world you are, and you are also Scottish, so can i ask, do all Scottish men have completely weird tempers? do they all find the most tamest of things hurtful and upsetting? do they all have a complex that "everybody hates Scottish men?" do they? or is it just every single one i have come across?
from acornotravez :
HI! Papaya enzyme just helps with digestion - soothes the digestion process. If you take 'shrooms on an empty stomach, they have a bigger effect, but also leave room for a potential tummy ache. The papaya enzyme can help that. I'm a dietitian, what can I say? Anyway, cool, thanx for the note!
from clarity25 :
Your last entry was so amazing, when I first read it I was at a loss for words and didn't even know what to say in your notes section. It was just beautiful, sad, honest, touching, REAL.. Thank you for sharing that. Also thank you very very much for your input on the Magic Mushrooms:). It was extremely informative and so helpful. I read it to Eric and he also said "thanks". (I'll have some stories to share after this upcoming weekend:)
from betchy :
what a fab entry.....i love you x
from amb1valent-k :
Sound advice from your Mum at the time and obviously you chose the right route. But a sad lesson in realising that people we love aren't always only what we love them for.
from onewetleg :
that was a great entry. thanks for sharing part of your life with us. love, jj
from girlsdontcry :
I live in hope that someone will leave a horrid message for me in my notes, let alone an abusive email. But not a sausage, not one, in all the time the diary has been up. So I'm a bit jealous really. And yeah, you'd think I'd have some kind of ID, but I guess I've avoided filling out a LOT of forms in my life. I may be able to retrieve it though, so no need to resort to forgery and subterfuge yet! Thanks for the offer though.
from amb1valent-k :
We all get them - sad judegmental people - very often with dire warnings from Christian dogma. They seem to think we need saved! Rock on girl, you're doing fine (yeah - I know, you know that already!)
from jennyj :
Someone emailed me out of the blue once (I was like - who the flip are you?) to say she was very disappointed in me because I'd said 'trust American's to not consider anyone else uses different measurements from me'. Sorry for being a disappointment, love.
from clarity25 :
Hey, welcome to the club! YAY! You know, I think that was the exact same person that E-mailed me a few months ago under a different name! Her "heart was breaking" for me too, because I was "killing myself with alcohol", and I had to take a "long hard look in the mirror and change my life". So basically, just ignore it..(the ending of your blurb had me laughing too!) She is just jealous and judgmental. Don't take it to heart..Love ya. Ugh, I shouldn't be online, coffee break is over. I have to get back to work. Take care.
from beckers-j :
Thanks for checkin' out my diary! :) And maybe I did flood my brain with water!! That would be a good explanation for it...
from clarity25 :
That night sounded like so much fun! Man, I can't remember the last time I felt "punk"..damn, I'm jealous! ah and pills..I think I'm going to fly to scottland and visit you, you know how to party!:)
from pollytrotsky :
lcd soundsytem! i am offically jealouspants.
from lobo21 :
I think I would have to say I spend $120 Canadian a week, then again I have three kids.
from clarity25 :
"Heeland Lass: How exciting, what is it? Postman: I have no idea." lol, I always love getting packages, and get so excited when I open them. I'm like a kid at christmas. Your dentist ordeal sounded hellish though..yikes! This reminds me that I should go to see a dentist..but it's pure fear that holds me back. Have a good weekend!
from betchy :
i know that you are right. i have just got myself into such a rut, and have got so used to the way things are that, if anything, i am scared of them being any different. i've never really had a "good" relationship. and although at times i think i do want one because i am lonely (which i would never normally admit so dont tell anyone), i dont want anything about my current lifestyle to change. so i have to kind of shag men that are pissheads and wasters, because even though i am a pisshead, i can kind of feel superior that i have a good job etc. am i making sense (i know what i want to say but im not sure its coming out how i want it too) anyway chick, thanks a lot for all your advice, it really means a lot to me. kind of big sisterly!!! will miss you while i'm away next week, but will catch up as soon as i get back. love you xxx
from betchy :
but sometimes when i am off i am ill, so i am sure your not too jealous of my ill health? you are kind of right about me going for minging guys, but i do honeslty like guys that have stuff wrong with them. maybe subconciously i think that i cant get the lookers so i go for the retards or something, i dont know. but all my friends rip the piss because i always go for mingers!
from betchy :
"and hurrah that Betchy is back with advice about supermarkets" is the sentence i think you accidentally forgot to put at the end of that entry. i will forgive you however, because you are probably still a little drunk and shaken up from your dental experience. oh, and that link thing doesnt work anymore because when diaryland crashed it stopped working. i dont know why. now you have to link diaries the long way. love ya!!!
from buck88 :
grannies postcard is brilliant, altho you missed 'just sat down to take my vitimins with a fresh juice and decided to write you a postcard'...that linking thing was always a fucking nitemare too.
from betchy :
hello you crazy Scottish minx you!!! i have missed you very much from my sick bed, but am back now with the wise advice of NEVER DO YOUR WEEKLY SHOP IN INDEPENDANT SHOPS!!! you will soon never be able to afford another alcoholic beverage. do you know there is a Co-op just around the corner from me that i occasionally have to pop to when i run out of bread, milk etc. if i did a weekly shop in there it would cost me about Ł100!!! (i might be exaggerating slightly). i once bought a loaf, a tub of coleslaw, block of cheese, tub of cottage cheese, box of dried cat food, two tins of cat food, bag of cat litter, twin pack of toilet rolls, tin of beans and two potatoes and it came to nearly thirty quid! that would be about a tenner in Tesco's!! i know Tesc's is scarily taking over the world, but you have to think of your finances (which would rule our Sainsburys also). dont shop in Asda, i used to work for them and their fruit and veg is complete shite. its out of date before it even gets delivered. and thy take the dates off their labels. true. i also used to work for Sainsburys, and while the quality is good it is expensive. my ex used to work for Safeway, they were ok, but dont know how they are now they have been taken over. Tesco's is your best bet. trust me. (i know far too much about supermarkets) love ya xxx
from chicagojo :
I spent about $20 USD on groceries a week, including all of my toiletries and miscellaneous stuff. I'm pretty cheap since there's no meat to buy.
from clarity25 :
4 dinners, girls night out and a future trip to thailand?..yes, those ARE worth mentioning! What fun! Your granny calling you and saying she's pregnant: Classic. You know that previous Note from me was written one day before Eric announced he was going on a business trip. It's funny how all of a sudden I went from wanting "Alone-time" to feeling lonely, counting down the minutes till he returned. God.. I am pathetic. *sigh*.Oh and Thanks so much for your last note!! Hope you have a great weekend!
from sopeculiar :
Yep - January and Feburary are rubbish. And I feel cheated if the summer months turn out to be less than pleasant.
from clarity25 :
Wow, that sounded amazing:). Skinny dipping is the greatest experience, I did that with Eric when we lived in Florida. Those are some of my fondest memories. The beach you described sounded breathtaking! I'm glad you had such a wonderful time! Thanks for sharing! P.S. You know, Sometimes I wish Eric would get involved in an activity without me so I would have the house for myself for ONE night. I don't even know what that is like anymore. We're attached to the hip 24/7, work together, eat together, live together, sleep together. I mean, it's gotten to the point where we're writing diary entries together. lol
from onewetleg :
of course i will help you with anything i can. the html site is called htmlgoodies.com, but you can put 'html' in to any search engine and come up with a bunch of them. glad you are back. love, jj
from chicagojo :
Man, I really want to go on vacation with you now. Because the first night sounds wonderful, not because I want see your husband's ass glow in the dark!
from clarity25 :
Well, why don't you just share the greatest moment of your vacation? the one that sticks out in your mind as the "highlight"? I'd like to hear that:). There I've submitted my request. (smiles).
from chicagojo :
That certainly sounded like a fan-fucking-tastic vacation. Keep saying fucking. All the cool kids are doing it.
from pollytrotsky :
I am embarrassed to tell you your note made me teary eyed. Speaking to/ hearing from people who’ve come through similar experiences does that to me. because I wasn’t sure there was any way of getting through this, and the people around me who actually have understood how hard it is, have just found it terrifying. So, it’s really heartening, or whatever, to hear you found out what worked for you. I feel like writing in my diary/ telling my friends all the time “today I walked down to the shop. No tears, no shaking. This means it’s the most amazing day ever!”, but then.. I find that a little depressing. And I can’t stand the thought that people won’t understand that that is an accomplishment, and that they’ll laugh. I don’t even know how to say it without saying the lamest, but: thanks. That note meant a whole fucking lot to me. this time "fucking" is for emphasis, not just my general medium level obscenity.
from clarity25 :
But I missed your updates:)
from clarity25 :
Hey glad you're back! Sounds like you had fun, can't wait to hear your travel stories. I was about to come to your notebox and start serenading "And I miss you..like the desert misses the rain..". Okay, well not exactly! Man I NEED to lay off the coffee at work!! Take care!
from satellitebob :
hope you are enjoying holiday.
from clarity25 :
Ugh, I've had quite a few falls like that myself. Each one more embarrassing then the last..usually with an audience. Hope your knee feels better. Enjoy your vacation! We'll miss you..you better take pics!
from ladyvaduva :
it is gonna suck without u.. but we all have the comfort of knowing u'll come back with some more whicked kewl pictures! w00t!
from pollytrotsky :
thanks! i'm really happy with it. enjoy your beer drinking and sunbathing. dont get so drunk you pass out and get a negative imprint of a hand on your sunburnt body.
from ladyvaduva :
SHAWEETNESS!!! YAYAYAY THAILAND.. pardon the excitment! w00t! can't wait to see the pics sweet pea! Have a blast! and hope the hangover gets better rite quickly! cheers
from betchy :
i am quite literally pissing myself at that entry....how the hell do you dance like Tales Of The Unexpected? you are so funny....i would love us to get together and go on a mad bender....we would have such a wicked time!
from clarity25 :
Ah, I know the feeling..the memories from the partying start to come back in bits and pieces. You just cover your face and groan. lol, It's all in good fun though. Life is so short:). Thanks for your last note, Your egg suggestion made me laugh..but you know, I just tried it this morning. I followed your instructions and spread it on a breadroll. Not bad..not bad all:)
from satellitebob :
damn, i got a hangover just reading that... i like your weekends.
from betchy :
oh....you are so cool! i love it when you're pilling and you really do think that are doing the best dancing in the whole club. there is just no way anyone else is "feeling" the music like you are. you are so in rhythm and so in time and nobody else is! that is my fave that is.
from clarity25 :
Your weekend sounded like a blast! Makes me want to party too..My toes are itching to go out dancing and have a few drinks at a pub, see my friends again. (Unfortunately, right now I'm as sick as a dog..so I wont be going anywhere). But I know what you mean about the kissing and cuddling with friends, there is alot of that here in Germany. More so than America. It's nice, and I relate to the feeling you described when you're with your friends, just happy, blissful and you just love them - girlfriends and guyfriends alike:). I feel that too:)
from fusco :
old men on their own make me cry in most situations (old man having dinner in KFC in a three piece suit at midnight staring wistfully out window seen 15 years ago still makes me weep)
from jennyj :
Also the little things are easier to get a handle on and therefore cry at, but great big disasters are much harder to cry at for same reason.

im not sorry for multipol notes, i REALLY hated it, and i REALLY dont ever want to go to one again, even though mike skinner is in my top 5 hott fellas of all time. i am sorry that i cant spell multipol

Sorry for the multiple notes. I refreshed my screen to see all of the horrible banners that others put up. If you're not already in the know, badbanners.diaryland.com is friggin' hilarious!

it is such a shame that there are always a few twats that spoil things for everybody else. other than all that was the gig good? i love The Streets. and i agree with you, the first album is better than the second ♥
from clarity25 :
Well, thanks for the heads up on "The Villiage", I was going to rent it tonight with my Mom. Scratch that. I think that's cool that you can get drunk with your Mom, that you're comfortable enough to have fun together and let go! * btw I'm DYING for a drink right now..want to sneak me out the house tonight?..we'll go to the pub, knock back a few?..* Anyhow, sounds like things are going well:), that's great. oh and (smiles).. question concerning THIS quote: "on Saturday morning, after waking up and finding Bandito strapped into his snowboard naked.."(?) What! lol.
from betchy :
you are going to see The Streets? you are soooooooooo luuuuuuuucky. long, detailed entry all about it tomorrow please. i love The Streets. and your happy entry has inspired me to walk home along the Sea Front tonight. because i can. how many people get to walk home from work along a Sea Front? not many i bet xxx
from buck88 :
do you think Mr. Bank manager and Mr. Prize-giver from 'ready, steady, cook' did a job swap for the day?
from jennyj :
What's not to like, indeed. The only problem for me with your re-setting idea is that now so many people live in London, when even my bestest pals come to stay from out of town. they stay with their other friends. After the initial excitement of me having my own place, people are opting to stay with their richer friends who live nearer town or in better areas. Gah. After 2 years + of this, I'm beginning to feel slighted.
from kristoli :
GEEN-EE-US on the icky colleague drink, I'm very impressed, oh and that song it makes my head hurt, whoever follows Jeremy Vine plays it all the time, acts as a good reminder to get off the damn computer and do some housework, that's how much it makes my head hurt.
from onewetleg :
good job, mate. on the situation, that is. cover tunes. i love em. i like to hear someone else's vision of how a song should be. sometimes it goes horribly wrong, though. love,
from amb1valent-k :
Expensine (but I wasn't paying!), pretentious. small potions. But tasty. i woulddn't go ther unless someone elese id footing the bill to be honest.
from clarity25 :
Well, I must say you handled that situation with the workmate BEAUTIFULLY. (motioning for everyone to stand up and applaud) Very clever, elegant and classy!:). Enjoy your Mom's visit this weekend.. Sorry to hear about the potential Bollywood film viewing though. haha. Oh and thanks for your last note. It's good to know that this is a common occurance with the heartbeat skipping. It's just so freaky and concerning. I'm still waiting for her to return from the tests..it's been. (glances at watch) nearly 4 hours!Have a good weekend:)
from chicagojo :
Way to go with the bottle of wine celebration/team event. That was wayyy smooooth!
from clarity25 :
I hear you about the whole confrontation issue. I hate confrontations too..I rehearse them in my head a week in advance, and obsess over it. Eric is like "Just DO it..you have to. Get a backbone". I confront the person and end up stumbling over my words and then APOLOGIZING for bringing it up "I'm sorry..it's okay, nevermind..Did I hurt your feelings?..Oh god, I'm sorry" or crying. Yeah, Confrontation is NOT my department either and I wouldn't want to go out for drinks with the person afterwards on top of it! Good luck getting out of it..(crossing fingers) Oh and the story of the misadventures with Tam had me cracking up. That must have been stressful, I'm glad it all worked out!
from girlsdontcry :
Oh my, what if Stinky Girl has no one to go out with on her birthday and you're the only one there? I'd call in sick if I was you, it's the only way to be completely safe. Really! Good luck x

GAH! That did not make me feel better! I didn't know cats had to be fed twice a day!
from pollymagoo :
Oh is that what they are? Now I see why they're so important, because everyone knows about the legendary luck-bringing properties of sugared almonds, don't they? Sorry about your poor doomed marriage. If only you'd thought.
from amb1valent-k :
I was at Martin Wishart's last night. Near you?
from kristoli :
Not commendable really, it was more likely an ego thing, what do you mean you just don't like me anymore? Eh? Plus his number was in my mobile phone and then you know in the pub etc, always seems a good idea at the time ;)
from clarity25 :
the conversation with Mama and Papa Outlaw about dogging had me cracking up!! lol
from satellitebob :
i had a friend, i thought, who i went into a business transaction with. she knowingly took me for $200. I put it up to lesson learned and all that junk, then not long ago she emails me, asking how to get ahold of a friend who she has been in love with forever. i told her i knew how to get ahold of the friend, but it would cost 200$. never heard from her again. i still wouldn't mind taking a bat to her car. who knows, its that whole revenge is a dish best served cold... and i don't really care to go to jail for smashing up a losers car. blah.
from kristoli :
Ugh, you just reminded me of an old friend I have lost too, the last time I spoke to him was late one hogmany night when he phoned to say he had totally lost it, for the first time in his life he had lost confidence, I spoke to him for hours until he seemed calmer and then nothing. He had begun a high powered job and had started taking drugs in a really odd way, I have nothing against drugs, have dabbled myself in the past but he seemed to be daring me to be pissed off with him or something the way he kept dropping it into the conversation, I don't know. Anyway I sent him a lump of rose quarz which I thought might calm him (don't ask) and a cd and a letter to his parents place where he was living and it was returned a while later, he never answered his mobile, I kept trying every few weeks until about a year later it was picked up and when I asked for him by name it was hung up, about a year after that I tried again and this time the woman told me it was the property of Glasgow Royal Infirmary. Freaky. I have no idea what happened to him, in my wildest fantasies I assume he is dead, in my less fantasy brain I assume he just stopped liking me or something. I don't know.
from buck88 :
well not after a heavy detox thats for sure, it appears i have turned into a southern faggot and couldnt keep up with your heeady partying, but we should wind up the london diaryland helicopter and tootle on up at some point. b88x

they're rad, aren't they? $3. i think i like you.
from buck88 :
you had FOUR PINTS OF CIDER and you where only quite pissed?. jesus wept, id be in a coma, having my stomach pumped and tryna snog tony of hollyoaks, thats how pissed i would be.

love love love live pub music (try saying that 3 times in a row)
from betchy :
aw, i just read your entry about Bandito, and i love you even more now! i love your funny side, but i also love your serious side. that doesnt mean i think you should stop being funny, but i think it would be good if you opened up more often to your readers. i have done it a few times, and when you get encouragemant its really nice. i think i am going to have to do my "get Heeland Lass noticed more" thing again, because really and truly, you blow my mind and i love you. seriously. i do.
from clarity25 :
Hey, it's always nice to get a pat on the back after reading an entry. haha. That was really beautiful what you wrote about you and your hubby. I could entirely relate to it too, there are times when I feel trapped or cooped up, where I feel like our life consists of work and then watching movies on the sofa. Where I wonder if I'll lose that giddy feeling in my stomach..where sometimes we feel distant. But then it's all in the little things, it all kind of falls back into place:)
from ladyvaduva :
YAYAYAYAYA for chicolate and bandito too! sometimes its one of those things.. u know u think the other person feels it but its really u.. I totally understand that feeling.. its happened to me too.. just in a different way.. in the end I was bein a tard (not saying u're being a tard).. glad to hear tho that things are on the up and up! w00t! cheers
from jennyj :
Oh I'm so glad that story had a happy ending. I was going to say that maybe years ago people didn't think, this might be the beginning of the end, because they didn't entertain the thought of splitting up. Obv it's great to be able to divorce easily if you need to, but if it's the first time you've felt like that it doesn't mean it's insurmountable. As you've just seen. But don't listen to me, I'm single.
from plopphizz :
I really liked that entry today. Those small gestures are so important. It is really easy to get stuck in the hum-drum of daily life. I tell my wife that it is a problem we need to work together on, that we are not the source of it. So instead of feeling split apart, it brings us closer together -- but that chocolate thing is good, too, I have to remember that. -- P.P.
from chicagojo :
that's beautiful
from satellitebob :
oh yeah, and i would like to come visit, just going to go rob a beer store. and i would buy a t-shirt that i saw today, it is an american flag, and below it is says, "we're not all idiots" i would like it if british airways did a super sale like they did a couple years ago. damn them for not.
from satellitebob :
I just noticed another note you wrote me. the second song i think is captain audio. i burned me a copy. it seems thats it. have you heard of the secret machines? captain audio is the keyboard and drummers old band here in the dallas. they have some good music. yes, bri should make me a cd. i like the techno.
from buck88 :
after you brought my lucky streak to my attention i bought a lotto ticket and two scratch cards, didnt win nothing, looks like im back on form, tres bon.x
from clarity25 :
Thanks for your last note! I already consider you a friend! I hope we'll be friends for many years to come:). Oh your last entry made me laugh, Eric and I have tried doing Ozzy accents too! lol, But mostly Eric does "Sean Connery" accents. But what are "Tim Tams"?. And Steak Fajitas during a tea night..interesting combination! (smiles). I look forward to hearing about your future camping tales. Oh on a different note, Your entry on Jen really touched me.. You're a wonderful friend to her. It made me cry when I first read it. P.S. I already took that virus survey last week..hehe! I'm in the clear. However..yours is a mutated version of the one I took, it has one new question in it.
from mousemilk :
Thanks for the note. Yeah, I just got a bit lazy with that one. Link schmink, you know.
from satellitebob :
ahh yes, i love do you realize... i could probably listen to it over and over and over and then over. it makes my brain all fuzzy like a kitten, or maybe a chinchilla... the texas one gets a bit slow there, maybe better for a hung over morning. maybe. or smoking. ahhh texas.
from satellitebob :
i don't remember what I put on "other"... hmm. nope, still don't remember. I have it at home. I should look, i was drinking and making it to its just gots to be good. glad you're diggin it.
from pablo :
ello ello. the film is aclled "In the Land of the Deaf" (Le Pays des Sourds) and was made in 1993. It was on at the NFT as part of a season of his back catalogue. Worth unting down if you get a chance...good to hear from you, treacle. xx
from betchy :
Jen is very lucky to have a friend like you. she really is. its good that youcould be there for her in her time of need. what a touching entry. and also thank you for the note you left me last week when i was off work. that was very touching also x
from pollymagoo :
I know that entry wasn't for us but I wanted to say something anyway. You made me cry, I think you're a lovely friend to your friends x

P.S. If anyone from the US is wondering what an aubergine is it's an eggplant. And a courgette is a zucchini. Google's image search taught my this :)
from satellitebob :
could well be blinded by the light fit but you know it those are my favorites right now. i need to get it on cd so i can hear it in my car. I sent the cds global priority, so it shold arrive by today or those bastards at the postal service have lied to me. hmph.
from chicagojo :
Thanks for the recipe. I'll have to make it to the good market one of these days to buy all of that stuff!
from clarity25 :
haha! Yeah, You were in my dream! Which is so random because I don't have the faintest clue as to what you look like in real life! I met up with you at a trainstation , we started talking and you said "Yeah, I write on diaryland too I'm heelandlass". and of course I freaked out, "No way yadda yadda yadda". You had a scottish accent and brown hair. We were chugging beers together and just chatting.. Until some wench stole my train ticket and I had to get off at the next stop. We were all excited about going to that party..it was a bummer. Man, even my DREAMS are disappointing! lol. By the way, I know exactly what you mean about returning to your home town and I could relate to all the feelings you described. I have the same emotions..it feels like forever 1996 in NY.

Speaking as a blindey, I can only say that it's all good you don't need glasses. I can feel myself getting blinder and if that's the case, the Ł200 I spent on glasses last year won't count for nowt.

oh my goooooooood!!!! i do the "toilet roll down the toilet before pooing" thing too! ha! i will tell you why January is dragging. because you're not drinking! there are no blackouts. you can actually remember everything. i was thinking how quickly its gone, and i cant believe its been a month already since new year. well, you can start again soon. its a shame it is in such tragic circumstances though. i am sure you will make youe friend feel better though, with your fabulous conversation and hilarity. here's to being drunk!

Your friends sniff at things a lot, don't they? The question is, how do they greet people...hmmm... -- P.P.
from betchy :
but i AM an overanalysing freakoid! you are so totally right about all the new ways of communicating. they do make for a womans brain going haywire. look at me. complete paranoid, twisted, mentalist. yes i am. i am just going to go with my old method. think the worst and you wont be dissappointed. hope you are ok, you Jakey Bawbag (when does the detox end anyway, its nearly killing me drinking your share of alcohol)?
from pollymagoo :
For me, RG6 needs a roca and LG6 straight hoha or something. I too believe this to be code. I think he was in fact saying to the dental nurse 'This girl looks like a right sucker. I'll distract her by extracting all her teeth over a period of 6 months for a fee equivalent to the US national debt, and you can go through her bag and nick her phone.' Or similar.
from satellitebob :
i think i may try this detox thing. I have to work all weekend, so it would make sense. living in a 4 plex with 3 other drunk junkies makes it difficult... does the delivery man wear pants or shorts? ladies like delivery men, i need to look into wearing a uniform to work. your cds are sent. you also get 3 rock stickers, one political sticker and a wonderful hand written note, that i wrote when i was drunk. ahhhh, good luck with that.
from onewetleg :
the reason you can't do math is because you don't practice. the same thing happens to me if i get out of it for a while. remember in school they used to drill the tables into you? (now its my turn to say leave the dirty comments behind) anyway. i never thought i was good at math until i went to dealing school and learned craps. we had to memorize all the odds and what amount you would get if you bet 5 dollars with four to one odds, etc. i for the life of me couldn't tell you what it is now, but at one time i could rattle them off the top of my head. besides, thats what calculators are for. good luck.
from clarity25 :
The part about the sexy truck driver had me laughing. I had that happen to me once, but the guy wasn't sexy..just kind of scary looking, he kept taking pictures of me as I walked across the street,He winked and than strolled away as though nothing had happened. I also wondered what those pictures were for!
from chicagojo :
As for the guy who took a photo, you can't talk with him. If you talked with him, you'd actually kinda know him. And if you actually kinda know him, it takes the fun out of making eyes and giggling at each other. He has totally crossed the line with photo-taking though... That's just weird.
from satellitebob :
i'm sure delivery man isn't going to do anything sexual with your picture, surely not, wouldn't worry about it, not at all, not even a little...
from betchy :
oh! why am i scumbag? i'm hurt!
from betchy :
so if you're a Jakey bawbag, what does that mean?
from betchy :
you should read Betchy. she is funny as fuck! no joking, try lisse, avalonte,soverycherry, kitty-kaboom, chubbychic (she rarely updates), unclebob for laughs, is that enough? do you want some more? as for Jakeys, that is my new fave word i have decided, and i most defianately AM a Jakey, yay! and man i do see a lot of Jakeys every day. i have seen about 7 today. and that is a quiet day on the Jakey front. the Jakeys here tend to drink special brew or white lightening. the real hard done by's drink Frosty Jack. i drink Frosty Jack. but not on a bench. i told you, i am a Jakey.
from adulterous-k :
New read - have you tried Tiragem?
from kristoli :
Do you read Weetabix yet, she is funny and has pretty pictures and gets drunk at the bad bar, if you like her she also has hundreds of old entries to read through and if that wasn't enough her page is nice and subtle coloured, no garish.. I'm obviously reading the internet instead of working...colours (like mine...ooops)
from adulterous-k :
I'm in Auld Reekie reasonably often so I've seen the changes. Used to stay (live!) in a flat with floors at alarming angles at Morningside Station above Victoria Wine (not there any more)looking out over the other Bennet's Bar and up the hill to the Canny Man's. Then we moved to the seafront at Lower Granton, next to the Wardie Hotel. You're a Leith girl right? Has the Old Chain Pier re-opened - tragic that it burnt down. (Wow, just relaised my geography is all pubs!
from clarity25 :
"Smoke" is one of my favorite movies and I loved your observations of the people that pass by, that was so fascinating to read! Also, I remember the bullies from my school-years and the things they said. It's funny how the hurtful words can sting the deepest and stick in your mind despite the time that passes.
from adulterous-k :
Love your diary. High time you discovered elipsis....
from betchy :
phew. i am glad you stopped saying arama. the thought was keeping me awake at night. and i happen to love brackets. i use brackets a lot. if you look at the note i left you down there, i used brackets. and, i have been meaning to ask you this for soem time, what is a Jakey? am i one?
from ladyvaduva :
hey there sweet pea! its been a while I know I know feel free to kick me lol! just stopped into check how things was goin.. GREAT JOBBERSS ON THE ALKIHOL FREE BUSINESS! that's awesome.. sometimes a whole break is in order *thumbs up* keep up the great job... and thailand won't be so far away :-) toodles
from girlsdontcry :
Your suggestions are very tempting... and so good for cheering me up that I've sent you an email.
from betchy :
yeah, you're right, i do do that. i dont want other people to say things that i already know. if i just think it all the time, then if someone calls me a fat slut then i can be all "tell me something i dont know". i guess i've just always been the jolly fat bird (not to be confused with Jolly Green Giant). as for you, i think you need to start drinking again immediately. hot milk? arama? wtf? hee hee speak to you soon sweetie x
from buck88 :
i have to admit i enjoyed it, altho i did think 'surely this DEAD WOMAN isnt going to be talking thru every episode', i suppose its goods news that other people apart form me can hear her, but that plus celebrity bb and my new found affection for (dry heave) hollyoaks...well lets just say it dont look like I'll be making any new friends in 2005. b88,x
from chicagojo :
The bush hitting bush thing cracked me up. I'm not a fan of the show either. I just didn't find it all that entertaining.
from onewetleg :
nice things, nice things. oh, oh, oh, so many nice things! as your biggest fan, i want you to have them. love, jj
from betchy :
are you sure you're 30? you were playing pile-up for gods sake! what a genius idea to have a party that started at that time. i bet you were smashed! glad you had a good 'un. hope you are ok, and keep in touch missy! i miss my notes from you! xx
from clarity25 :
I'm glad you had a good New Years, sounds like we were both equally as smashed. I managed to make it to the bed though ..well barely lol:) On a serious note, though..I'm so sorry to hear about the death of your friend's boyfriend, that's horrible. It's good that you're there for her, that's a difficult tragedy to endure.
from betchy :
ok, i cant quite decide who outdrank who, but i didnt fall asleep on anyones kitchen floor, so you might be winning slightly! and there is always this weekend! so sorry to hear about your mates boyfrind, that is so sad. why do shit things always happen to nice people? anyway chick, happy new year, hope we continue to disgrace ourselves throughout 2005!
from betchy :
hey my fave drinking virtual partner (i so wish you lived here so we could go drinking together for real) just wanted to stop by and wish you a very merry christmas. i wonder who will be the drunkest?
from adulterous-k :
Glad it's still there. When I stayed in Edinburgh in the early 80's Rose Street always was a messy place - stag parties trying to drink from one end to the other. Happy Christmas!
from clarity25 :
That's pathetic that the girl still was upset with you over dating her friend's brother years and years ago. It's amazing how some people can keep a grudge for so long over the most foolish immature things. I guess some people never pass the highschool level and to add an insult on top of that. You can only pity her. Hope you enjoy the holiday season! Best wishes!-Clarity
from kristoli :
Have a good christmas break honey, I can't believe in such a short space of time you have become one of my favourite reads. It's christmas eve eve and now I must shop! Wish me luck.
from betchy :
fair play to you for being nice to the ignorant tart! i would have been too cross! some people are so sad, i mean how old were you when you went out with that karens bro? how can people hold grudges from school? it is too too sad. anyway lovely, have a great break from work, will miss you! and have a fabbity fab chrimbo. we will have to compete fro the best drunken christmas stories when you return!

Thanks so much for your kind note and suggestions to relieve my leg cramp:). I know what you mean about the people around you sometimes ruining your day and bringing you down. I hope you're enjoying your day off! :)
from jennyj :
Hell *is* other people, fact. Just thank your lucky stars you don't have to travel on the tube with them every day. Happy wedding day, though!
from buck88 :
someone needs a camomile tea and a little lie down, also a 'guy called gerald'(aswell as appearing on blue peter) released 'voodoo ray' in 1990, remember that little gem? ah happy days...b88x

Just watch out for the arseholes. lots of love
from adulterous-k :
Is Dirty Dick's still there on Rose Street? Used to be a wonderful dark Christmassy pub to hide from the throng and move steadily through red wine, beer and out the other side to Morgan Spiced rum and mince pies. Please tell me it is!
from onewetleg :
aww.... you`re my best friend too!! thanks for the shout out. fun entry. happy anniversary. did i forget anything? probably. love, jj
from pollymagoo :
If there's going to be Freebird I am definitely there. How soon do you think you can drive the old grump out? I fancy a change for 2005.
from clarity25 :
Thanks for your note, That was the sweetest thing that you said! Thank you!! I love drunken ramblings, I should do them more often, myself. Last time I tried, I just passed out on the keyboard before I could press the "post entry" button. (I'm such a lush) lol. Peace frog by the doors is the greatest, but than again I'm a big fan of all their songs. I liked your reflections on christmas and what it means to you. It brought back my childhood memories and the times with my family. Made me a bit homesick.:)
from pollymagoo :
Oh I love Peace Frog (although someone else can keep all the rest of the work of The Doors) and I love Too Drunk To Fuck. If it was still 4am and I was next door I would come over and we could have a dancing party.
from kristoli :
Hope the head doesn't hurt too much doll! Oh I miss my drunken rambling days of diaryland, I haven't done that for too too long. I was in bed before midnight last night after one beer, because the german had to get up at 7.30 am and I have to christmas shop and go pick out my christmas tree, it still feels wrong to be clear headed and awake before 9 on a saturday morning.
from krugerpak007 :
Yes, I got to you through adorable Betchy. So hi sweety, hope you managed to sleep and dont have too much of a sore head! Keep in touch and have a good weekend. And AMEN for diaryland! xoxox Kathy
from betchy :
*mwah* i love that there is someone on d-land who drinks more than me! so what time did you finally hit the sack last night? i hate going to work still pissed, i get paranoid that i smell like booze! and when your hangover hits midday, that is just the worst. i have changed my comment for you on my profile, because i am determined to make one of d-lands most popular. you are too funny to be hidden away. i'm working for ya baby, i'm working x
from mousemilk :
Happy (belated) Birthday! re your note: if you think that's bad, I got one today from a chap called Slimy Limeyield.
from discodave :
I was the 28th (and I hit 29) - sorry I missed wishing you a happy one, though. Dxx
from clarity25 :
Hi, Just caught up with your past entries. I wanted to say: Happy birthday!!!
from betchy :
glad you had a good birthday, hell girl i dont think you are really thirty because you party and drink more than i do!
from pollymagoo :
Happy birthday Heelandlass. And go out! Remember, it's your birthday for at least a week so that excuses any kind of house messiness.
from ladyvaduva :
HAPY BARFDAY as I would like to say.. lol.. hopefully ur hang over was imense.. meaning the party was bigger and better then u ever expected! here's to more where that came from ;-) cheers
from onewetleg :
being 30 and being over thirty, you get to feel superior to everyone under thirty. the next big age mile-stone is when you move down an age bracket on forms. the one that says 35-45. ugh. that was a dark day. and it snuck up on me. 'lalala, im filling out a form. dum to de, age bracket? oh. damn. i'm old.' happy birthday, lass. many more. love,
from satellitebob :
happy birthday. it sounds like 30 is a damned good drug. only one more year. and a half. if i make it. your cd is in the post production stage. already made one in my drunk-ness the other night, and it needs some polishing. fantastic.
from chicagojo :
Happy-happy b-day sweetheart!
from plopphizz :
Funny entry on the shoes. I love entries about "kid logis". We actually had some sort of automated foot measuring machine that moved these steel walls in on your foot like the trash compactor in Star Wars. I never got an accurate reading because I would freak out and curl my toes under to keep them from getting crushed. My criteria for my four-year shoe shopping trip is having holes big enough that my toes start to slip out of them. I wish I could get happy about shoes, but I'm a guy, so I guess that's why technology was invented. You buy shoes, we buy toys.
from betchy :
oh dont you worry no gin for me! you are welcome for the shout, i meant every word. and enjoy your last twenty-something weekend. ye ha!
from ladyvaduva :
YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY u have acheived greatness.. not that u haven't before! lol! happy early b-day once again (if I haven't already!)
from onewetleg :
i know you all don't celebrate thanksgiving there in scotland, but that was the best thanks giving entry ever! love,
from betchy :
i want to come to your birthday party!
from ladyvaduva :
yayayay oh happy happy joy joy! (oh how I miss ren and stimpy lol) glad to hear about the party shenanigans being ok! yayayay! it will be absolutley smashing (in more then many ways and all good!) cheers
from satellitebob :
I think I may do an all Texas one. we have land mass, and some really good music. I will just let it flow, and I promise, next week.
from satellitebob :
umm, no cd yet. The first day of my vacation I got home after drinking a lot of really big newcastles and tried to fix my modem by ripping the computer all to hell. I think this is what I was trying to do because of the clues. new modem layed out. and the computer did not get put back together until sunday. I believe next week is the week. I believe in myself on this one.
from ladyvaduva :
u have a great time at ur party.. and u party hard.. I'm sure there will be a pile of people there.. not only mentioned people.. I'm sure LB will show up and what about S&M (was it them?) there's a wonderful slew of people who will be there.. never fear.. they love ya too much.. and if they're too stoopid to not show up to the party of a life time its their own damn fault have the party without them lol and have some fun :-) cheers
from betchy :
you will have great time and you will be centre of attention so it will be great!
from satellitebob :
your party will be fine. and when you wake up the next day you will be all wise and stuff. thats something to look forward to.
from satellitebob :
I'm afraid of making myself afraid of drinking. it seems that would involve a trip to the jail or hospital, and I don't need that. I am going to be clean all week, then I will have some wine with my thanksgiving dinner, then I will play the weekend by ear... I can do it.
from betchy :
i think it depends on the computer because when i went to an internet cafe my page was pink there!
from betchy :
it was a bloody nice pic of the forth bridge though, in your defence.
from jennyj :
Oh my god, I think I've had a heartattack just reading that recipe. Yum. That night in is pretty much like all my nights in. Without the gifts from my husband.
from buck88 :
what exactly is a tit wank? today, god willing i am going to draw the tee, i think the image will explain were words wud fail me.
from ladyvaduva :
I wish I had the joy of having a nite like that.. if I move out.. I think I would like to model my life after yours! not only ur nite this evening but of course the partying as well!!! have a great time with "said girly movie" enjoy and don't miss Bandito too much! cheers
from buck88 :
cos im sure those microwaves really bring out the flavour of the wine, and have done for centuries. i am now full of festive family fear. is it only nice people who have awful families or everyone? x
from jennyj :
That's not cheesy at all - I'd love to trip down the aisle Into Your (my fiance's) Arms! Ride With Me is my favourite I think but not very suitable for such an occasion. Did you hear about the couple 10+ years ago who said they wanted the Robin Hood song (that awful Bryan Adams thing) as they walked down the aisle, but they got it mixed up and she ended up going to 'Robin Hood, Robin Hood, riding through the glen...'
from pollymagoo :
Remember when we were teenagers and grown-ups didn't get spots? Whatever happened to that?
from girlsdontcry :
I think that Goodwilly has to be my new surname. Jan Goodwilly, the New Me. Someone has to keep it going, if those who are gifted with it at birth are just going to change it to Smith at the first opportunity.
from jennyj :
Also - the first time Magoo emailed me I nearly deleted it, thinking she was but a five-penny-spammer. Aren't we glad we didn't?? Enjoy the DVDs - I just took receipt of Manhattan Murder Mystery and now I can't wait for a night in.
from jennyj :
I worry about the same thing with the smoking ban too (although I just can't wait for it to hit London). I figure us non smokers will just have to become the dead wittiest people about so people won'tt want to ditch us at the table while they go for a fag.
from onewetleg :
oh, lassie. ian is just a cute guy that comes in my store sometimes. if i do leave tommy it won't be for him. i'm thinking of renting a room for a month or so just so i can have sometime to myself for a while. the picture by the lake is actually a picture of the san francisco bay. good luck on your week of sobriety. and don't worry, i am behind on diaries, too. love, jj
from ladyvaduva :
well cheers with no beers (or druggies for that matter) some interesting films to check out.. Crime spree, if u haven't seen lock stock and II smoking barrels please do I love it whole heartedly lol.. umm.. FINDING NEMO its darn cute.. sharks tale (the shrimp make that movie lol).. the grudge (Ju-On) scary shit I tell u.. I guess its like crazy scary.. but yes.. I will think of more for u to watch!!!!
from ladyvaduva :
can't wait to hear how the party goes for M&S it sounds exciting specially with all that peeing pants business floating about jk! lol have fun!
from ladyvaduva :
ne time my dear! ne time! well deserved! :-)
from plopphizz :
LOL! I forgot to put "little kids eating soap when they think it is candy" in my list of endpoints to inifinity. Wish I had though, that's a hilarious story. Thanks for the laugh :) -- P.P.
from satellitebob :
fuck is about the only thing to say right now. we are living in a fucked up conservative hell hole for the next four years. but in four years we have hillary clinton and barak obama(i think thats how you spell it) she is woman hear her roar and he is half black and they are our great hopes, but thats not for four more years. for now I can just say, "fuck".
from jennyj :
Yes I am! I love it. But I am always losing concentration so no change there...
from chicagojo :
I trip in the style of #2 and #4. It's a curse!
from clarity25 :
Thanks for the note you left over at my place. It's always cool when someone just reaches out and says something insightful about a particular entry. I read your journal and I was cracking up! Not only are you funny, but you have the whole cool british thing going. (I'm one of those annoying people that would say to you a hundred times a day "Wow, I love your accent"..) I really liked your list on 10 things you love about your mother, and the things you would put in room 101, also, I was disturbed by a few "six feet under" episodes myself. They're constantly forcing me to confront my mortality..I just started watching the boxset last week. I'll be back to read more, Just thought I'd say "hi"
from plopphizz :
Okay, so we both like The Office. Let's continue. This is part of our "moving beyond the basic accent jokes" therapy. I like ... um...air. It keeps me alive. How do you feel about air? -- P.P.
from jennyj :
Sniff.
from satellitebob :
who deletes from favorites? that is just weird. I think I am going to go look at mine.
from onewetleg :
dreaming about not sleeping. yeah i've done that. the only thing worse is dreaming about working. then waking up and having to go to work. makes sleeping seem not worthwhile at all. love,
from plopphizz :
I love The Office. I'm still a bit pissed they cancelled it -- yeah, wouldn't want too many smart, funny, well-written shows on T.V., now would we. I haven't seen the Christmas special, but the description of the sneezing scene made me laugh quite a bit. -- P.P.
from ladyvaduva :
sounds like a wonderful weekend.. I hate it when u think u'll get a pile of work done, and u do nothing.. and yes the laughing so hard u can't really breathe is quite amusing and scary.. happens to me all the time! glad to hear u get to go back to bed.. sleep well! cheers
from pollymagoo :
Buck ate it by mistake because, drunkenly, he thought it was quail. Then he wondered why it was so revoltingly blubbery. Whatever was wrong with mushroom vol-au-vents, that what I wonder.
from ladyvaduva :
"Who the whore has done this to a song that made me wiggle around my living room forcing my mum to watch me be olivia newton john whilst thrusting my groin at my imaginary john travolta?" I absolutely love it.. u made my day a billion times brighter.. I felt like such shit till I read ur diary.. ur like my friend mel, u really know how to swear (or not swear) lol its greatness I tell u! cheers
from discodave :
Yeah, there just might be...shame I'm too much of a prevaricator to do anything about it really ;) Dxx
from mommylap :
ran-danning?! I love that! What's it really mean, just cutting loose or partying or what? Ran-danning. That's priceless!
from betchy :
yay you're back!!! i am sorry that you feel like you havent had a holiday, but at least the new series of little britain is on for your return. not that i got to see it. its on bbc3 which i dont have but apparently it was hilarious. which shit town did bandito have to go to?
from ladyvaduva :
so sorry to hear u miss ur holydays(as my relatives would say in some wonderful english lol) already.. it sucks being thrown back into work.. maybe have a party? drink copious amounts of wine, and booze, and smoke copious amounts of some green? who knows it may cheer u up? a party always seems to help.. (maybe when ur friends get back?) and then u can reminisce some more.. at least u got a taste of india.. and because u're so close.. who knows? u could always go back again? cheers
from plopphizz :
Updated comments on my favorites list, check them out. -- P.P.
from satellitebob :
welcome back. and nice bit of Dallas and that damned Bobby and his dreams.
from ladyvaduva :
oh I'll hold out till the end of time for u! lol! no prob there bob! I'll keep on reading along! that's too bad about bandito's clothings.. mmmm vindaloo anything is ummy.. cept for yes on clothing.. that blows.. well hopefully it all gets sorted! cheers
from onewetleg :
persimmons are a horrible evil fruit that look like a cross between a tomato and... well a evil demon from hell, really. i'm sure they are delicious, but i just can't bring myself to get near one. now im going to go read your last entry. glad you are back. love,
from ladyvaduva :
so glad ur back! sounds like ur trip was amazing! but u know its nice to have u back! :-) can't wait to see some pics! ooo the anticpation! lol!
from plopphizz :
Well that was a fine summary of the *first* day of your trip, but what happened after that. Hoo-boy!! See what I did there? Crammed your whole vacation into one *day*??? Huh? Annnnnddd....scene. Glad you had a good time. -- P.P.
from pollymagoo :
In case you pop into an internet cafe (because I'm sure Six Feet Under news is all you can think of in India) Keith had sex with Celeste!
from satellitebob :
I want some wellies. I like walking in the water. and I think wellies would help me out with this. I think we call them goolashes though. I think. I don't know if I spelled that correct though.
from pollymagoo :
No wellies required where you're going, I imagine. Have a brilliant time x x
from ladyvaduva :
have a WONDERFUL WONDERFUL holiday!!! and bring back lotsa pictures! me want to see lol!! cheers with many beers!
from pollymagoo :
Oh and I agree with you about the flying. I mainly stopped being scared just because I was bored of being scared, but gin helped too.
from ladyvaduva :
I'm rite along there with betchy.. Im the geek needing in on the party.. only I have no invite lol! jk!!! sounds like u guys always have a grand ol' time! keep on doing it! cheers
from betchy :
can i come to one of your dinner parties please?
from ladyvaduva :
awww.. sorry to hear about the home reno projects going to shit.. I hate it when that happens.. hopefully it will all get better! yorkshire puddings and lo-cut tops should make it better.. :-) and vodka of course lots and lots of vodka! cheers with beers!
from jennyj :
Ha ha ha, and then of course will neither admit defeat or that they might have made a mistake, yes? At least I know I'm weak from the beginnig and go with it!
from jennyj :
That's because they have special time-lapse photography the batards. I gave in and spent my life savings employing someone to do it for me/do it properly. Marvellous.
from betchy :
yay yay, i am drinking vodka tonight too!!!
from jennyj :
Aw man, I totally empathise, it's le hell! IN YOUR FACE DIY
from pollymagoo :
'making Yorkshire puddings and wearing a low cut top'... hilarious! i'm laughing a lot.
from onewetleg :
very sweet entry. i like the part about the gran and the kid dying in a horrible car wreck. your mum sounds wonderful. you're very lucky. love,
from ladyvaduva :
I actually think its quite cute.. the storey bout ur mum.. I love storeys/entries like that.. parents are always interesting, u can see how different or how much alike their children are to them! lol! cheers
from betchy :
i loved that entry about your mum! i done an entry about my mum on her birthady about 2 weeks ago. aren't mums great?
from ladyvaduva :
kids are grand ain't they! its nice to be able to just walk away... or if ever baby sitting give them back to mum at the end of the day lol!! sounds like u had quite the time! lurvely! cheers with beers!
from onewetleg :
what a great analogy of the birthday boy's first and his 21st. brillant! weren't you the girl who was wanting one of your own a month or so ago? i think you were... love, jj
from betchy :
i am one of the ones that can remember the words to lyrics really easily, but can never think of a good song there on the spot. i read your entry an hour ago and still i cant think of a song that would have been a good comeback! but that entry really made me laugh.
from jennyj :
Pollymagoo always pucks up the lyrics as soon as she hears them. Then she'll say to me, did you know that line was 'la la lalaa laaa' and I will say, no I didn't know, I was just going 'mmm mmm m m m mmmm' to it and from then on I will have to go 'la la lalaa laaa' to it because I know the words then and everything's changed. In an illuminative way, but I also think that it's nice to have the mystery of not knowing what the words are for ages.
from buck88 :
'wanted' the yazz album, in my mind, is a late 80s classic and nothing to cringe at, maybe it just needs to be revisited. maybe. remember in times of sorrow...'the only way is up'.
from chicagojo :
Just make up a song about how he can't hurt you if you take a shovel to him first! I'm also musically retarded, so don't feel badly about it!
from dailyspoo :
i would love to 'come' round for tea. this general ming sounds right up my alley. do you have any pictures of her?
from betchy :
well, my redundancy packeage would be.....wait for it..... two weeks pay! because i have only been here 2 years and i am under 25, that is what it would be. really not worth sticking around for is it? i didnt see that programme, was it on sky? i dont have sky. did you watch "nighty night" when it was on? it was beyond funny!!! thanks for adding me, i was just wondering though...what do i make you think of? please not redundancy!!! x
from satellitebob :
yo yo yo. way to take a drinky for the team. what season are you guys on for 6 feet under? i saw the latest season finale last night. holy fucking shit, man it was good. ok.
from betchy :
that "just smoked a huge spliff" look is very popular with most of my customers. probably because they have either just smoked a huge spliff, or injected a huge needle of heroin into their arm. oh well. i didnt see the episode of six feet under, but now i really want to because i love scary-ness. and now it wont be on again :(
from plopphizz :
And also, don't they have sexy tartan underwear? I just looked up "Tartan" on hyperdictionary and I (only recently) happen to know that it refers to the pattern, not the material. So if you are telling me that they don't have kilt-ish looking feminine wear in Scottland, well, all I can say is, maybe we shoudl invent some. -- P.P.
from plopphizz :
Aye, lass, I be much more thayn jest a yarn spun in yer wee lil' head. Wait, is that Scottish or Irish? Bah. Anyway, something new fer yee, here is your user name upsidedown: sse7pue733H -- you have to be lenient, A's are very difficult to represent upsidedown.
from onewetleg :
you know i discovered you and betchy on the same day. anyway. i sent you an email with a picture. did you get it?
from buck88 :
usually i think 'i wont watch 6 feet under cos it makes me feel a bit miserable, i know i ll read instead' etc. last nite i thought 'i ll watch 6 feet under cos it is funny and sometimes i feel im missing out'. oh my sweet lord, horrific.
from betchy :
hello, yes, username is betchy, password is crazyhorse. enjoy, and leave me lots of notes! i love them best of everything! x
from betchy :
i think you may just have to become my new fave. if you would like my password leave a note. if not dont worry i dont offend easily! x
from pollymagoo :
You were right, that was properly horrific. I think I might be sick. And I am definitely going to wake up screaming at some point tonight.
from yakkety-yak :
hello, i have you listed because i think you are really funny. i liked the story about six feet under. cool beans.
from kristoli :
I might be okay watching 6 Feet Under tonight because I will have to be drunk enough to cope with the Celtic/Barcelon game before it, I'm already pooing myself :(
from pollymagoo :
Actually I think it's on tonight, and now I'm quite excited but also a bit worried. I think I might have guessed what it's to do with from last week's trailer-bit, oh dear. When I watched the Exorcist I had to watch Austin Powers afterwards to get it out of my head, and I still kept expecting the bed to start shaking. I hope I can cope because it's the only programme I really like too.
from plopphizz :
Campbell and Glasgow somewhere up my family tree, but no, I don't know much. I'm sure my Dad might be able to tell me more if I dig a bit. -- P.P.
from discodave :
They use the term felching for that? Jesus...the comedy of errors that must ensue. Aberdonians use the term trapping, incidentally. I think it stems from our wild wooly pursuits or something... Dxx
from kristoli :
Nah I don't have much (read:any) time for Minnie either but I have retracted my previous hatred for CZJ, I actually *shock* thought she was great in Chicago but that might just have been because she actually had a figure that looked good in comparison with RenyZellyWelly, I might have just been confused.
from supermom3604 :
Thanks for taking the time to fill out my survey. I love the fish joke. I told it to everyone I saw yesterday! And your comment in my diary really made me giggle. Where do these people come from? Yeesh.
from onewetleg :
you wanna know about the photo entitled 'me and the sea?' it should actually be called me and the bay, but that didn't flow as well for me. when tman and i first got together we didn't really have a place to hang together. he was living with his mom and i was living with two 19 year olds in a one bedroom apartment. we would spend all of our free time roaming the city and taking pictures. one day we went out to the presidio and this was one of the pictures he took of me. it's his favorite so as a surprise i mailed it to thedevlyn in vancouver, wa. he scanned it for me and it's one of the first pictures i ever had of me online. it's a beautiful picture. i am proud of it, even though i didn't take it. it was taken with a fujifilm disposable 35 milimeter camera. i don't know what else i could possibly tell you but thanks for being interested. you sex fiend. :) sorry it took so long for me to answer. love, jj
from discodave :
Eww. Mind you, the rumours still persist that Sporty wouldn't partake in felching either, mainly because that sort of situation wouldn't really be her bag, so to speak. Not that I'm saying all women who wear sports gear as evening wear are less hetero than most, no sir. Dxx
from mommylap :
I love your notes! I could feel the support of your cursing with the rest of us too even if you didn't say you were. Thanks for being here!
from kristoli :
To be fair Minnie asked a reasonable question because no one actually knows what the Mercury prize is given for ;) I'm just glad that Franz Ferdinand won it, although I hope they survive the apparent curse. I was only slightly surprised she was there because I had read on p0pbitch earlier that she is actually trying to become a singer now. If you have any weight loss hints, ones that don't involve you know eating nothing and doing lots of exercise pass them on please, I lost 4 stone on Atkins a few years ago but gained a couple back and the damn diet doesn't work for me any more, it's like I hurt its feelings by cheating and now it won't return my calls. I had the 'oh but you have such a pretty face' for years grrrrr.. I also had the 'don't change you wouldn't be you if you were thin' at this point I realised these were not good friends ;)
from plopphizz :
Actually I am completely out of Scotish cliches, unless I go dig up some Mike Meyers SNL sketches. I've always wanted to visit Scotland since my family is part Scotish (Campbell blood). And yeah I guess kilt underwear would be itchy, but a good part of my humor comes from my insane ignorance -- and there is more where that came from :). P.P.
from ladyvaduva :
LMAO droopy tits.. bluntness is always key! :-) I love it I love it I love it.. u just made my dreary-assed-no-sunshine-crappo-weather-day a billion times better! always make me laugh.. practically so hard that I need like old people undergarments so I don't totally pee myself.. u are my hero.. one day when I fly over edinburough (pardon my terrible spelling please kick me later if needed), I'll drop u a a pile of gold stars.. if it looks like confetti.. u know it was me :-)
from kristoli :
Why is it whenever something stereotypically scottish happens we feel the need to mention it in online diaries, then spend the next paragraph saying 'but that NEVER happens really', honestly we never wear tartan, dance jigs and listen to bagpipes, although that last bit isn't true, I hear bagpipes all the time but that's just for the tourists or weddings...honestly! I also love it when THINGS GO BAD, it's so channel 5, me and the german frequently pick some evil rotten ex-vegetable out of the fridge proclaiming WHEN XXXX GOES BAD, I know, we need to get out more ;)
from jennyj :
I can't help but woo fireworks either - it's as natural as yawning when someone else does. (Has reading 'yawn' made you yawn?) And the fireworks in Edinburgh last summer were rocking too, as I remember. Le sigh...
from discodave :
There's only a few things I'll disguise when I'm writing and they're mostly the sort of thing I wouldn't want to get googled for - using an internet café, you learn really quickly just how many freaks there are out there ;) For example, if I was going to use the word felching (well, it could happen), I'd change the l to a 1, just in case... Dxx
from onewetleg :
oops one more thing. about the diaryland/real life conundrum. i know a few people here in the city that have diaries. lostboynada, waggoner426 (but she is now away a college), bindyree, bedawang, tennx, and wench77 (she lives in canada but comes to the city sometimes for business). i love knowing these people and call them alternately by their real names and their usernames, depending on the situation. tommy has met most of them, too. he really isn't interested in diaryland. i force it upon him. oh, the sighs and the rolled eyes. i disguise evilco and it's inhabitants because of confidentiality. if they found out i was writing about this i could get fired. so, fake names for everyone!!! ok. that was more than one thing. sue me, pink panties. love,
from onewetleg :
oh, that's right, you don't have a hit counter. go to sitemeter.com and get you one. it's really neat to see all the search terms you got hits from. and whose stalking you. and how many hits you get per day, week, month! aaaahhhh! it's an obsession! click on anyones hit counter (almost) and you can see where the hits come from. you don't get actual names, but where the hits came from. it always surprises me who links to me. hehe. im a link whore. wear the gray panties to work and the sexy ones after, if you get my drift. love,
from plopphizz :
Were any of the new underwear plaid? If you wear a plaid kilt with plaid underwear, where does one stop and another begin? Could I make anymore cliche scottish jokes? Are you actually in Scottland? I may have fell for the user name hook line and sinker. -- P.P.
from pollymagoo :
I don't do it because I want to get Googled. I don't want pure stats, I want high scores. I'm very competitive like that.
from jennyj :
Ooh I only do that disguising thing to stop being Googled everywhere I turn. On my stats I am still getting consistently Googled for things I wrote in full ages ago, before I started self-censoring. C'est tout - only to purify my stats!
from chicagojo :
(1) Oops -- ESTJ is what I meant below. Damn fingers. (2) People block out words because they don't want google hits catching them for it, not because of lawsuits. (3) Throw the grungy undies away. That's what you're supposed to do!!
from chicagojo :
I wa also a supervisor. It's an ZESTJ in the Kiersey Temperament Sorter if you want some google fun.
from discodave :
Thank you, sweetheart. In the end, she tidied up herself - she had visitors. Dxx
from chicagojo :
All of my Chicago friends know I have a blog with an easy-to-remember domain name (chicagojo.com), but no one besides Benito reads it. It's how he first emailed me, so it's allowed for him to read :)
from jennyj :
I think the first time was strange, but that's nothing that some well-judged beers can't sort out. I randomly picked my name without thinking about it and later thought I should maybe have taken something less related to my actual name. Oh well!
from heelandlass :
Hah! Wasn't it strange meeting up with everyone in real life? I had a chance to meet up with Pablo when he was in Edinburgh but I was really busy that week, I was really nervous at the thought of it, although I was up for it. JennyJ is a pretty cool name though - I chose badly at the start!
from jennyj :
Ha ha ha, when I first met Pablo and Ms Magoo and Girlsdontcry etc, I always found it funny that they called me Jennyj when clearly my name is Jenny. Not quite the same as having to call someone Girlsdontcry!
from jennyj :
Many long stories about the real life/Dland crossovers but as long as the most important person knows about it, there's nothing wrong.
from satellitebob :
ahh, edited for content. todger. damnit, i knew i fried the brain a little harshly this weekend. cuddle time!
from ladyvaduva :
sounds like a wonderful time u had! next time drink a few and smoke a few fer me! lol!! cheers
from chicagojo :
I saw your review on over25revues and was wondering how the layout looked on your end. If the text part is too small for ya, I can shrink the image a little bit and reload it to fix that. It's two minutes of work, so just let me know!
from discodave :
Heh - I never liked Crimewatch either, but that was more down to Nick Ross. Don't get me started on the old Watchdog either. Lyne Faulds-Wood...eek. Dxx
from satellitebob :
i like your weekend.
from pollymagoo :
better than darts?
from over25revue :
deedly-deedly. hmmm. oh! hi! didn't see you there. your review is up. sorry it took so gatdamn long.
from ladyvaduva :
I haven't been by in awhile.. have a wonderful trip to india! take some wonderful fotomographia's to show everybody.. I'm bloody jealous lol!! I love the way you write.. it always always makes my day.. some day u may find me completely wasted beyond belief in your fair little club.. please take pitty on me lol!
from onewetleg :
thankyoufortakingmysurvey. man. i have typed that 20 times in the last 2 days. hehe. but really, thank you. love, jj
from onewetleg :
i hate that. i had a friend once and i baby sat for her. i think she owed me maybe $15 dollars. i never saw her again. so sad.
from jennyj :
Hee hee, I'm glad you have an idea of how funny it was at the moment we realised his anenome was peeking out ... and then the sick feeling that maybe he had put it there especially.... Eeeeee!
from pollymagoo :
In my house we buy organic meat from the same butcher as Nigel Slater (I've just seen that you have him in your favourite writers.). He is also rumoured to have his hair cut at the same place we all go. I've just realised that has nothing to do with organic food and is borderline stalking. Sorry.
from pollymagoo :
No but I will, because I need to be more hysterical about food, I think. I did read an article about salad bags though, and you're right, they're evil. Today is organic veg day though, hurray.
from pollymagoo :
You completely out-funnied me on the government scaremongering brochure, I thought. I have been meaning to write about it for weeks. Did you see that this bloke made a spoof one on his website and they made him take it down in case people got confused? In case they got confused? It was about zombies! And about the fruit, the most upsetting thing is knowing the truth about the otherfruit, and therefore having to eat my whole week's fruit requirement on the day the organic stuff arrives.
from satellitebob :
i want to go camping, think i'll look into that. and i heard the other day, that wasps are good to have if you have a garden, they eat bad things like worms and catepillars. catapillars? i spell that right? i thought catapillars were ok, because they teach us that we are all butterflies and shit, but i guess they eat leaves and corn and stuff, so see, the wasps, they eat these bastards. and they hurt like a mofo when they sting ya though. and if you dont have a garden you can just kill them. my dad would catch their nests on fire when we were little, that was fun to watch. and we had a garden also, maybe he didnt know that they ate the bad worms. did you know that growing okra next to pot kind of makes the pot look less like pot and more like okra. thats what i hear, anyways.
from plopphizz :
Sorry more clarification: Haggis...what the eff? I just saw it being prepared on the Food Network not too long ago -- yikes. -- P.P.
from plopphizz :
I just have one question for you: Haggis?
from satellitebob :
sounds like a damned good wedding. born in the usa AND SSweet Home Alabama???!?!?! I would have wet myself, pulled out the ole trodger and smacked the bride's cousin!
from ladyvaduva :
bloody marvelous! we have nothing like that here in canada.. but someday I'll be visiting them there castles.. not of course for my wedding or nething of the sort (I don't ever intend on getting married), but just to travel and such
from satellitebob :
weddings here usually suck because the brides mom and the bride dont want their very beautiful day sucked by some crazy ass satellite smashing down. There are even some with no fucking drink! NONE! but there have been enough open bars that i'm not too bitter.
from chicagojo :
Yay for the links working! I wish there was a castle for me to get married in. Oh wait... There's no marrying going on quite yet...
from plopphizz :
Um the good kind...no, wait, the really cool, good kind, and um...did I say cool already? -- P.P.
from plopphizz :
Actually, I hear the Romanian peasant-woman look is coming back into fashion this fall. -- P.P.
from chicagojo :
It looks like you're writing your entries in Word these days because the links are messed up even when you type the code in perfectly. When you type a " in Word, it changes it to a fancy, curvy ". To change this, you can go in and change all of your settings, blah, blah, blah. Or you can just hit ctrl-z after you type one to change it to be two straight little lines. Good luck! My fingers have trained themselves to do the ctrl-z without thinking anymore.
from satellitebob :
ahhhh yeah, the sweet sweet pattin' from the heel and ass. err heeland lass!
from satellitebob :
my running was my punishment for being a big dumby, just to feel the poisons escaping me. and the basketball playing was not pretty. Alot of shooting, and chasing the ball after it hits the rim and bounces away from me.
from chicagojo :
Why in the hell would you inject *anything* into your Willy??
from ladyvaduva :
sounds like a hopping good time down there! I wish I could be there.. I love festivals like that.. and with the nazi parents that I have.. I barely make it out to anything.. so I miss all the good stuff.. but someday.. maybe not today or tomorrow or the next.. but someday I will get out lol!!.. I don't have any really odd sleeping habbits.. maybe cept the fact that I sleep like a bloody log.. nobody can wake me up.. my friends attempted to drage me down the stairs once and I never woke up lol! scary and sad me thinks..

i'm in edinburgh all next week. if you fancy a cup of non-corporate tea (or several drinks), then e-mail me: poswell@hotmail.com i'm kind of looking forward to it, i think...

to booze! the cause of and solution to all of life's problems! paraphrased from homer simpson. take care, babe! have fun at the hen party. i wanna go to a hen party. drink one in my name, ok? love, jj
from satellitebob :
I had a couple beers and a smoke. i didn't feel like going to the store for the wine, and I had beer in the house, so it made sense.
from satellitebob :
you reminded me that i want to drink a bunch of warm red wine and get pissed on it. i was watching Dreamers, damned good movie with plenty of tits and cock, and they were getting all smashy on wine and I want to too, damnit. but it cost money. I chose food this time. damn you drinking problem! DAMN YOU!
from onewetleg :
i love that entry. i was laughing out loud! gwen thought i was laughing at her. hahahahahaha!
from wherwhenwhy :
Is Assmaster somehting to do with the medical profession by any chance? I remember having a lot of conversations like that with medics, they aren't the brightest bunch and this is why to this day I still can't take a doctor seriously, and I think the whole yob following for the Mr Williams is neds trying to get a shag from their girlfriends, so they take them to see him. I don't know who I feel more sorry for. lots of love
from wherwhenwhy :
You don't want to be moving to Aberdeen. The only thing that is up and coming here is the drug and alchohol problems and students being mugged. And the water tastes of crap, they put this cloudy powdery stuff in it that gives you indigestion. And it isn't on the elctricity loop that goes round the country so everytime you put a load of washing in overnight the machine trips a fuse. Bad art galleries. No culture or fun just alot of pubs full of neds. Anything else you want to know just give me a bell. Stay where you are or Glasgow, Glasgow is nice, and close, and there water tastes better. lots of love
from mommylap :
I keep thinking about the content of the dream you told me about. I did an entry about it even, because I found the whole thing so compelling. Thanks for leaving a note for me about it.
from pollymagoo :
If I was seeing the musical I would NEED good insurance. Imagine the hazards - car shoots off the stage and into the audience, brylcream flicked off comb and into my eye, singing-induced coma...I could go on but I don't want to scare you. Thanks for holiday wishes, you have a great time... um, at home.
from onewetleg :
oh, man, when that website is up, i want the link and i want it BAD!!! i think i saw something about how to know when you get googled. go to sitemeter.com and you can get a free hit counter that is pretty easy to install. then you will know how many people are reading your diary. love,
from pollymagoo :
Don't - get too drunk to see and then get evicted from the venue when bouncers find you canoodling with the second-least attractive member of the IT department (who you later find out is married) in the ladies' toilets. (Um, me).

we ended up not getting the morrissey tickets. it was going to cost too much to fly to chicago, so we're going to hope and wait that he actually tours. he was in dallas over 10 years ago and someone threw a shoe at him. it was on his video, i think it hurt his ankle or something. i had dreams about kittens last night, and i wasn't getting it on with them.
from onewetleg :
what a wonderful entry. good luck with all the self-improvments. it's hard not to tear up other women in the street. we are raised to be so competitive. anywho. maybe tony blair recorded the voice over there and just sent it in. who knows. love,

absolutely love the new template.. its vunderbar! cheers with beers! :-)

ya talking about the lady friend, chemist. turns out she is a scientist, but not a chemist, food scientist. things are going well. we're going to pittsburgh to get drunk today, thats a 4 hour flight
from satellitebob :
i blame it on her being an orphan for the first couple months of life. my other cat will eat anything, loves frensh fries. potatos. tuna.
from satellitebob :
i am very proud of myself. wrapped cat in a towel. had my things of meds ready to go, when she opened her mouth, squirted them in, no problem. and with the pill smashed it up really well, put it in with the other liquid, squirted in, no problem. the chicken thing wouldn't work with her, she won't eat anything that is not cat food. she ain't right.
from onewetleg :
i always feel like crap the next day if i don't drink. there is like a line. i can not drink and feel crap, drink just enough and feel fine or drink too much and feel crap. sigh. love,

spellcheck! *slaps forehead* i never think to use spellcheck.
from chicagojo :
JJ beat me to it, but I was also going to suggest writing the entry in a word processing program before copying it over. I use Word so I can run spellcheck and all that jazz.
from onewetleg :
oh, friend im sorry you lost your entry. i know its hard but write it in notepad then copy and paste it. love you much.
from onewetleg :
ooohhh! pretty! i love it!!!
from chicagojo :
Great change! Love it!
from chicagojo :
Ohhh! I'm so glad you like it!
from chicagojo :
Just copy the entire thing and paste it all in the template changing box. Also, you'll want to create a rings page (title it rings.html) to go with the link I made from the front. Whee!
from chicagojo :
The new template will be on its way very soon. Check your email, and I'll have a notepad file attached. Whee!
from invisibledon :
Thanks for doing my oddsandends survey - thanks for the joke too - I love that one
from chicagojo :
Yep, your link to the BBC worked!
from ladyvaduva :
happend upon your name in onewetlegs' buddylist shenanigans.. and it caught my eye.. and now I may not be able to stop reading.. absolutely fantastic!
from chicagojo :
You first link -- I'm so proud of you! Template to come soon. I have to test it in another diary first. It'll be too hard to troubleshoot any problems if I don't get it all fixed in the first place.
from satellitebob :
I get to work at 7, so I could catch the last half of the match. sucks for england. sleepy.
from over25revue :
onewetleg says 'you're quite welcome.' to link to another diaryland diary you just type this into your entry: %%diary-username%% so, if you wanted to link to, oh, i don't know, me! you would just type %%diary-onewetleg%% and it will show up as a link in your entry. love,
from satellitebob :
I'll root for Engerland. It mostly because when i was a kid i thought football was an england only thing so i loved them. then i got reality smacked, and my USA has become better. But thosef'n Portugese beat us in the first round last world cuo, so i want them to lose. It sucks here though, i have no where to watch the game.

from coldooze :
me again! i'm just reading the survey you filled out. wait a minute? are you saying that the woman who wrote bridget jones has a diaryland diary? how insane is that!?!?! i like your idea of a diaryland party. did you know there is diaryland chat? there is. scroll down the menu, it's way at the bottom. hey, don't we all have a crush on satellitebob? i have left him the most embarrassing drunk notes. i even threatend to leave tman for him once. hehe. who is granpa donner. there were these pioneers a few (180?) years ago and they got stuck in the pass on the way to california. bad snow-storm. well, they were stuck for so long in the snow that they ended up eating the dead so they could survive. it's a great story. google the donner party some time. banners are made by the individual diary owners and they really aren't that hard. www.myimager.com has a good image editor that is really easy to use and freeeeeee!!! unfortunatly you have to have gold to make banners. and you have to pay for them. boo. well, thanks for taking the survey. i think you may have taken a couple more, did you? my answers to them won't be as long as this one, i hope! love,
from coldooze :
yeah, it's hard for me to keep up, too. i have a design site, a review site, a fan site, my precious onewetleg, and one where i do the unconscious mutterings. but i have grown bored with the unconscious mutterings so i have to think of another use for that one. oh, and i have the one where i used to write letters to nigerian 419 scammers and post the correspondences. if you don't know what a nigerian 419 scammer is go google it cuz i don't feel like explaining it.:) have a good weekend. love,
from coldooze :
i would be glad to help you with your template if you want. i love doing that stuff. i have helped alot of people. come by my diary and check out my buddylist to see some of the stuff i have done.
from chicagojo :
I sent you a graphic for your new page to approve. If you like it, I can have the code for your page sent to you almost immediately. Check the email address that you left in my guestbook for the logo. No hard feelings either way -- Just something I played with at work!
from satellitebob :
i live in dallas and was in the process of moving to austin, just a 3 hour drive south, but thats 3 hours. my best friend was picking me up from the airport and he had no sleep for acouple days, no drugs he just forgets to sleep. i get in the car. i'm wearing a microsoft bob shirt, it was some promo that microsoft did a few years ago, i don't know much more on it because it wasn't my shirt. i get in the car and the friend is talking something about me being a satellite because i will be away from dallas and some other sleep deprived talk. then he starts calling me satellitebob over and over and over and tells me his name is tripping john... his name isn't john. so i became satellitebob. it makes me happy because those times were good times.
from chicagojo :
"Free Bar All Night" has caused many, many interesting nights in my days. Sheesh -- Read anything in my archieves after a weekend from this past summer.
from onewetleg :
oh, yeah, the story of my username. when i first got email set up my friend was doing it for me and she got to the point where she was asking me what i wanted my username to be. i was sitting on the windowsill smoking a cigarette and it was raining. i distractedly said, 'i have one wet leg.' and i have been onewetleg ever since. true story. when i first saw your username i thought it said 'heel and ass.' there goes my dirty mind. i thought it was some fetish i had never heard of. hehe. love,
from onewetleg :
excellent! you made a link! all by yourself! to your notes! look at all the exclamation points!
from satellitebob :
oh yeah, the story of my username. i'll tell ya all about it when i get back home in a few days, its really not that fun or great or even interesting. or maybe it is, i liked being there when it was given though, and thats the god part, the warm fuzziness it gives me.
from satellitebob :
that is a great joke... my brain is realy jacked right now, on vacation so its allowed to be. thanks for reading my stuff.
from chicagojo :
Yeah, I thought you were "Heel and Lass" until now. I didn't get it, but I figured there was a story behind it. ChicagoJo = Chicago + Jo. Nothing too creative there. Would you like a new template? Something other than the purple? You need something with wine glasses.

hello! thanks for taking my survey! anime is japanese animation, very stylized and easily identifiable, usually very violent or sexually-charged, most often both. so, you live in scotland! this is somewhat unfortunate, because the dinner you have planned for me sounds superb, but i don't think they will fedex liquids. drat.
