You say goodbye, and i say hello

Hello hello! I don't know why you say goodbye, i say hello.Okay then, i know why you say goodbye, but wait! I'm back! Probably only for a handful of posts as usual, but who knows? This is also my first blog by e-mail - ladies and ladies, this post is coming directly from my bed! Doesn't it make you feel all dirty inside?

Monday, eh? Halloween is the third most-celebrated holiday in this country apparently. You could have fooled me. I saw NOTHING! Come on people of Britain, turn your homes into haunted houses, your gardens into graveyards - make me spooked! I know you're all dying to compete for the best decorated house (xmas is just not enough!) so this is the perfect opportunity! Where are all the scary films as well? I went to see Saw 2 at the cinema with darren and lee - don't get me wrong, it's a great film (one scene in particular was a definite squirm moment for me) but it's not very scary. Don't even try and fob me off with the supposed recent scaries from japan, like the ring. I'm just not frightened by some hammy actor trying to look scared while the colour turns to black and white and someone beats a bloody drum. Arty farty? Yes. Keep you up at night? No. Let's set the record straight - just because the film is in another language doesn't make it great. My experience of them is as follows:

People talk. A lot. In foreign.

Meanwhile i'm missing out on all the action because i'm a) reading words at the bottom of the screen, and b) trying to make sense of the bloody thing! Poor translation is rife! Ahem - let's move on shall we?

Tuesday - don't really remember much. Went to work, paid my dues, went to bed. Next!

Wednesday - very nice mini-dream as i was snoozing this morning. Let's just say it involved someone i still have an infatuation with despite my best efforts, being without his shirt. What can i say - i'm easily pleased. Just the slightest thing can light my fire more than any amount of nudity. What is it with me breaking the pc's in my new job? I've been there three months now, and the pc i'm using just continues to make a mockery of me. I use my pc at home to do much more stuff at once, yet that isn't crashing every five minutes and crawling like a geriatric turtle. I'm not one to moan *coughs* but it really shouldn't be that bad! And i'm not exaggerating!

Had a lovely visit from the ever-welcome darren, who regailed us with his usual mix of wit, charm and song. Tried to back his phone up on my pc, but did it work? No. Note to darren - don't forget to bring round your box of tricks next time. Also learned he's getting an ipod shuffle - looks like i'm the last one to hop on to the bandwagon yet again - i'm planning to get one of my own soon. My pathetic infatuation reared it's ugly head for darren to see as well - i was sifting through what i thought was darren's backed up calendar, but it was an old one from my phone, and a certain entry stayed on the screen for what seemed like an eternity, and despite my desperate efforts mr melling saw it. I need help.

Right then, i'd better sign off - my thumbs might get tired soon, and this post has took me a lot longer to type than normal. Strangely though it's been more enjoyable to enter, but that's probably because i always send mammoth texts anyway. I'd better finish before my phone crumbles with the amount of text onscreen and all the new words i've added to the dictionary!

Until next time, always check what calendar you're looking at when friends are over
