i need to go out and get some lunch
but my lovely boss bought me a white chocolate toblerone. eating part of this instead would obviate the need to go out in the grey coldness of london. decisions, decisions.

christmas was awesome all over, the holiday was great and i had a couple of very wild nights with the schoolfriends up in manchester over new year, so no complaints here.

being back at work is... well, today is ok because everyone on the other side/clients was away over xmas and new year, so i am waiting on responses to everything. tomorrow onwards will be hellish.

and the new flatmate has moved in, which is great, i'd been home 2 mins last night before she was making peach vodka and pineapple juice cocktails. i approve of this sort of thing.

sorry this is a massive essay. hope everyone else is as cheerful!

Yeah, stress doesn't suit me, being chilled and cheery fits me quite well.
Fucking grrr.

I'm tempted to talk to the doctor actually, I've been getting highs and lows recently which concern me a little
but I'll see if it sorts itself out by spring, once I've increased my weekly walking miles and the days get a little longer. I'm sure it's just seasonal/situational instead of anything more sinister.

You might suffer from SAD a little
The ex and her mum (a nurse) reckon I do, but I took one of those 'depression tests' and the doc reckons I'm fine.
Note, not fiiiiiine, merely 'ok'.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Tue 4 Jan 2011, 14:08, Reply)

Oh, I definitely do, which is why I'll wait til spring before considering it an issue.
I didn't notice it at all in 2009/2010 but this year the skies have been grey and I've not walked as much, so I'll get some more miles on my boots before getting worried.

I need to do some more walking when the evenings get lighter
I'm planning on climbing Fuji in July and need to train for it.

Fucking hell, I'd get training now.

It's apparently not that bad, as there are paths up to the summit
And we'll be starting from a high-up point anyway. The worst thing is the thin air up there (I know a guy who's done it), but they say it takes about 7 hours to get up and down.

Did you manage to get your cables sorted in the end?

(LongJohnBaldry, Tue 4 Jan 2011, 13:47, Reply)

No, grrr.
Edit: not yet old chap, I'm supposed to be doing it today but I've got too much on, maybe tomorrow. I've gotta do it soon because I've got the basis for a song to lay down and it won't stay in my head forever.

Your flatmate sounds promising already
One of mine has left and the other one hasn't been seen or heard from since just before christmas.

Though this does mean I can enjoy naked house time.

i like this
( rachelswipe with a fork, Tue 4 Jan 2011, 13:49, Reply)

she's a great laugh
also she has an exceptionally cool job, and has promised me that i get to come to her work parties. AND her bf has lots of eligible single friends.

these things are all in her tenancy agreement. she doesn't have to pay me any rent (although we are arguing about this because she is insisting) but she does have to get me into cool celebrity parties and lots of interesting men.

Rswipe = best landlady EVAH!

( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Tue 4 Jan 2011, 13:52, Reply)

if you're going to be accurate
there are many many things that go in the "landlady" slot there.

such as... you know, that thing.... and that other thing, er....
( rachelswipe with a fork, Tue 4 Jan 2011, 13:56, Reply)

You may want to rephrase that a little.

( Noeli overtheshoulderboulderholderthingstraplatchboobs, Tue 4 Jan 2011, 13:58, Reply)

no it was deliberate. the idea was that you all rushed in to tell me what i am so amazing at
this is like when i had to explain the small feet = small cock thing to you the other day, honestly!
( rachelswipe with a fork, Tue 4 Jan 2011, 14:02, Reply)

Or me having to explain that "putting things in the landlady slot" might amount to...

There is no right answer to this, so I abstain.

peach vodka tastes like wolf pussy

( Lisette von Falcon, Tue 4 Jan 2011, 13:49, Reply)

sadly you have a point here
but if you drink enough of it, with enough ice, and enough mixer... it's do-able.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Tue 4 Jan 2011, 13:50, Reply)

that is completely pointless
why not drink something you like?
( Lisette von Falcon, Tue 4 Jan 2011, 13:56, Reply)

because it's there
it's in the fridge, it needs drinking, and it's still 40% alcoholic.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Tue 4 Jan 2011, 13:57, Reply)

I've got a bottle of peach vodka that has lasted almost a year
because it's disgusting
when we're desperate we'll break it out
but when we've better stuff it stays put
( Lisette von Falcon, Tue 4 Jan 2011, 14:03, Reply)

Mmmmm wolf pussy.
