Long time no speak

This is what I want

What a crap day.

I guess crap is pretty descriptive of how things seem to be going generally.

Separated. Spending much of my time alone.

Meeting with S tomorrow for a dinner and to talk. I love S very much - but I can't and won't go back to how things were. Comfortable. Cosy. Unadventurous. Feeling the insidious creep of petty resentments, and unforgotten disagreements. I know people say " but that's what happens in long term relationships" . It doesn't have to be that way.

I want to feel alive, spontaneous, passionate. I want to feel butterflies in my stomach. I want to lay in bed exhausted, happy, and spent. I want to feel like someone's man, not just a companion. I want to feel sexy, needed, urgent.

I want to feel excitement. I want to feel good in my skin, I want self respect. I want mutual regard, and to feel like we stand together. I want honest to goodness grown-up LOVE.

I want, I want, I want.

Mmselle Jones Breaks Down

Thinking of a touring holiday this year?

Ms Jones has a cautionary tale.

Bloody funny though.

Butler Report

Erm....now let's see...

The dog ate my homework.

I had a headache.

It rained on my books.

I hurt my knee.

It's all down to faulty intelligence.

Blogging hell

Over the last few days, I've been witness to some pretty pointless baiting and bitching here in the blogosphere.

To be exact; a minority of people have been hijacking the comment box of the rather splendid RW4 in order to carry out personal squabbles. (the most dignified word I can find).

If you have something to bitch about - get a blog of your own.

If you need to have a personal go at someone, there are many IM tools out there

Glossary expressly provided for those without blogs who insist on using comment boxes to insult and annoy others:

Blog: A frequent, chronological publication of personal thoughts and Web links.

IM or Instant Messaging: Instant messaging (IM) is an Internet protocol (IP)–based application that provides convenient communication between people using a variety of different device types. The most familiar today is computer-to-computer instant text messaging, but IM also can work with mobile devices, such as digital cellular phones, and can incorporate voice or video.

Capice?

Testing...testing

Currently testing Mozilla Firefox 0.9.1

It's looking good so far; easy to install (4mb), and much less clunky than IE.

More later...if you can stand the anticipation....
