So I didn't have the internet, and I wrote this. It was a good time. Taken off of FB and copied to OD in October 2009
It has been some time since I drafted an update into the trials and tribulations of my everyday life. It has kind of broken down into mindless rants about irrelevancies. But anyway, I don’t have anything more constructive to do on my enforced isolation, so here we go…
559 Holburn Street – [Missing out the flat letter in case scary people want to stalk me is pretty much the way forward] So I moved into my new, shiny, sparkly flat at the bottom of Holburn street. I am now living with the infamous Mr Richard Reid. The flat is happily at the other end of town from my work, my parents, the pool… in fact the other end of town from anywhere I might possibly need to be. But none the less the flat is awesome, the bed is comfy and the couch is comfier still. The kitchen is big enough that 2 people can cook at the same time! It is on the top floor so we steal everyone else’s heat! And there is off street parking for my Schnoo Schnoo, which makes Humphrey very happy [someone has already had a letter of angst from me as they parked in our space!] Although I have only been in it for less than a month, the flat does currently fill me with deep joy! Will probably attempt to organise some sort of flat warming, but there is an open invitation to the flat anyway. You just need to request the letter… [Though there are only 3 flats on the top floor, probably not that tricky to work out].
Enforced Isolation [The ongoing saga] – Due to the fact that Dan moved out and I moved in, the name on the phone line had to be changed. Now allegedly BT like to be very helpful and not actually change the name, but just cut off one phone line, and start another one. Something to do with it being easier for them and accounts or some shiz. Now as far as I can gather BT take up to 7 days to prepare the phone line to carry broadband services, and then it takes another 7 days for the ISP to set up the internet on the back of it. Which means that while I have been writing this, I am missing out on the entire world! And the entire world has been missing out on me. The former is probably more of an issue for myself than the latter however. If anyone finds this on my laptop in the case of my death… I am sorry I was not strong enough to last the 14 days…
Vodka [Or lack thereof] – As part of some sort of regime I am making up as I go along with the end result of bettering my health/financial standing I have temporarily shelved any consumption of vodka. For at least the month of October, and then maybe ongoing. See how it goes but I am saving an obscene amount of money, and still having equal quantities of enjoyment. Without the pounding headache in the mornings as well! The next challenge will be cutting down on coke. If there is no vodka there is no need for coke. That will be a harder one to shaft though, probably have some sort of addiction to the caffeine in it, but we will see. I should probably just stop drinking that from now, right this minute. But there is coke in the fridge that I want to drink…
The Future’s Bright – [Yet not orange…] Decided a wee while back kinda what I wanted to do and managed to get entirely engaged into the notion. But things seem to be sucking getting it organised and its feching me off. I basically want to go back to Uni and study secondary education [In Technological Studies]. The problem I have got is it is becoming a cluster fuck organising an academic reference. Been down to the offices and sent E-mails but no one is getting back to me. So I am planning on doing a similar thing to what I did at Uni… wing it and hope for the best. If I don’t get this I don’t really know what I am going to do. This is the only thing I have settled on that I really want… but heh, will see what happens.
Healthy Addiction – I tried to become addicted to The Wire, which is a gritty realistic serial American Cop show. I will admit it is a very well written, acted and filmed, but there is nothing in it which grabs me. I have however rapidly become addicted to Fringe. Which is an American crime drama in a similar vein to the X-Files. It follows a [very well funded] branch of the FBI as they investigate incidents caused by scientific experiments in the field of ‘Fringe Science’ such as overcharging a person with radiation, physic abilities and such like. It is a very interwoven series with a lot happening in it, but it is very, very good. In addition, House, Heroes and Bones are all back! I have seen the first couple of eps but am now watching them on UK time, because of the no internet thing. House in particular was an absolutely outstanding season opener!
General Elation – Typically I am in a pretty optimistic place at the moment, I would say like if looking up… But it is exactly the same before, I am just more upbeat than normal. Could be attributed to the lack of vodka, but it is good. And there is a couple of things in the pipeline that should increase the elation tenfold, but they are being kept hush hush for the now, until any sort of conformation comes about. Not going to jinx anything for now, although some people do know about them… So I have probably kinxed it already and it will all come crashing down [Like the Hindenburg].
Commercialised Holidays: I hate the lead up to Christmas. All the stock has came in for work and I have to do the set up next week. This is truly depresses me. And it is Halloween soon… I despise Halloween. Something always goes wrong over Halloween on the night out, so I intend on staying in on the couch, with some DVDs and chocolate and turning my phone off. Nothing will upset me this year… NOTHING! Muhaha
Anyway, I am updating this one at my Parents, since the lack of internet is still ongoing. On Nightshift next week but I am OFF for a week from the 23rd, if anyone wants to hang out and catch up, drop me a text. :D There may very well be gossip to share... ;)
Speak soon

Don't worry ‘bout what might have been
Just tell your woman that you're sorry
And you jumped out of your skin
Listen closely to your motto
Don't worry ‘bout what might have been
Tell the jury that you're sorry
And just jump out of your skin
I wanna jump out of my skin
I wanna jump out of my skin
And watch the clouds
