One, Two, Skip A Few

Aha! Not even a week has passed and I've already missed a day out! But did I say I'd be posting everyday now children? No I did not. 5 housepoints to you paying attention at the back.

Oh well if you're really interested in what I did on Sunday, I'll tell you. I woke up after hardly any sleep - I'd been pissing about with the new hard drive till the wee hours - and I continued when I woke up. I finished with it around 6 or 7, I don't know. 'Innerspace' was on five anyway - great film. For the evening I just sat, basically.

Had an interesting dream - well, I always do. Hmm, there's a good idea for this bloggy-thing - dream diary! It'll be pretty disturbing then! Anyway, it did happen quite a while ago now, so I can only remember small bits. There were two actually - the first had all creepy crawly things in it, which made me wake up and I had to leave the TV on to get back to sleep. Aww - how pathetic. Then I remember being in a bunch of shops with Lee (must be all this talking about him - it must end here). For some reason I was bursting for the loo, so cue a Benny Hill moment as I run in and out of many a department store, up and down yet no holy grail. At last I find a WC, but picky me won't use it because it smells. Well, I do have standards you know! It didn't seem to matter anyway at that point - I was late for something-or-other. When I woke up the second time though, lo and behold - I needed the toilet! Psychic dreams!

GMTV disturbed me this morning - a feature about flammable children's nightwear. Now, I'm not a user of it myself, but the demonstration was just so far fetched. 'Look how easy it is for these pajamas to catch fire. See how the fireman holds the giant flame right under the flammable material, note how slowly it's taking to even singe the thing, even though I'm ignoring that fact - I'm too busy saying how a brush against a candle will set a child alight, even though we're failing miserably with something a lot more aggressive.'

Went to work - bit of a quiet day today, probably a mixture of tiredness, achiness and Monday syndrome. Nope, not Monday morning, it's an all-day thing with me! Kept myself busy as usual, especially when everyone left me all alone at the end of the day. Sob. Hope Val's alright - she had to dash off as she wasn't feeling very well. I've got an awful cough myself but I suppressed it with my mighty suppressing skills - they're rather handy. Got home, watched some of my stories - South Park and Will & Grace today - very funny. Went to meet mother at the train station, had a KFC burger (tut tut), and then came on here to help Lee with his webspace. It's my civil duty - I can't afford to let another 'Gif World' happen, not on your nelly! Oh yeah - added a picture of myself to my profile. I'm not a vain person, but my phone was royally pissed off with all the pictures I took of myself! I know what you're thinking too, 'And THAT'S the one he chose to use?'. Still, the layout compensates for it.

So then, I shall be off once more - so much for an early night AGAIN. I'll just have to suffer the consequences as always. I hope I have another crazy dream - I love the whole escapism aspect. It's the only real benefit I can see from sleep anyway.

Until next time - don't let your kids stand next to strange men with fire-creating apparatus for long periods of time.

Graham, stop dreaming about me - it’s freaky. Oh by the way - what’s going on with that incredibly fake smile? Let me demonstrate how the professionals do it --- :) ----

See it’s easy!
