*whine*
I mean all's OK, nothing is going wrong in my life, I'm just vaguely annoyed that I can't magic things right for other people. I have no idea what I'm going to want in a year, shitloads of possibilities fly through my head every week, and I have no idea what to go hunting for in the future, and where. I do literally live each day as it comes, and I'm happiest that way, because I'm not making some elaborate plan in my head only to be disappointed with the reality of it. However, I am currently quite excitable and have a bit more enthusiasm for life after the past week or so.
Finally got started doing the job that is detailed on my job description for Bury, rather than doing courses and office work and other shit. It was really good, and over 70 kids turned up over 3 days of activities. Despite the weather, and compared to what it could have been, the events were a huge success. Of course there are things to tweak for next time, but all in all I am very happy with how that went. I then had a really nice 4 days in London, awkward and sad at times for reasons I won't go into much detail about on here, but overall just really enjoyable. It's a bit of a downer that Naveen's gone, and that CCK has closed, but it's not the end of the world and both will reappear at a later date. So really it's all fine. Naveen gave me a book called Hallucinating Foucault and I read it in less than 48 hours, it was that good, and so much of it was relevant to the topics and themes we'd been talking about, I just thought it was an inspired choice and just what I needed.
Saw Rancid last night, they were really good fun and I'm glad I'm seeing them again on Friday in Sheffield - still looking for someone to go with though - I have a ticket to give to someone in exchange for a couple pints, so poke me if you're interested. Am also seeing Flogging Molly and more importantly Street Dogs on Thursday in Manchester, I can get 2 people in for that one in exchange for beer, so again, poke me if interested.
Now I think bed is in order, unfortunately with no El to snuggle for the next 2 weeks as we both have things in different cities this weekend, and hopefully next weekend we'll be able to sort something out, cos going 3 weeks without snuggles would not be fun.

the election
As one of few people on here able to vote in this election (by way of my mum being American and me having dual citizenship) I am also really pleased he's got in.
However, my mum sent round a 'wahey!' email to all her contact list, didn't BCC it, and one of her supposed friends emailed all my mums contact list back saying she doesn't share her joy because Obama celebrates killing because of his abortion ideas, and she's a Catholic.
Ugh, I have no time whatsoever for people who base their bigoted and outdated views on the back of religions that they follow blindly. Fuck religion, if he'd have lost I'd have been really fucking furious with bitches like you. |
