Well, that's the reaction I get from most people.
It's the same from my friends. They're very good and terribly understanding towards me. I used to get all self concious when they gave me strange looks but we've come to a happy agreement, that if they look at me strangely ALL the time, i will generally fail to realise anything.
Hmmm, so you're wondering stuff about me eh?
Well, that would be telling.
Oh, you want me to tell you? Okay, here goes......
....I was brought to life on the 26th of May, in the gloomy recesses of 1976 in a terrible accident involving many stupidly named chemicals, a pot of pencils, several large rubber ducks, a copy of the readers digest, a mind-bogglingly vast amount of incompitence, lots of stupid spelling, a chair and a degree in incomprehsive thought patterns, which I am now unlearning an alarmingly built college.
I discovered The Hitchhikers Guide by accident. Stumbled across the internet by accident. Found this place in an insane clicking accident, worked for McDonalds by accident, Got the sack by accident (although I've never seen this sack!), I appear to be one big accident, and when I get the chance, you can bet I'll get a dictionary and look up 'accident'.
Since coming across, the two most useful words ever 'Don't Panic', I have tried to find comfort within them (Mainly in the little hole in the 'P'), but have been forced to mainly comfort people who meet me, by saying them.
Anyway, enough of me, what about you??????

The weary traveller returns (Feb 4, 2004)
Well, it has been a while now has it not?
It's nearly 3 years since I posted here and nearly 5 years since I discovered this site.
Back then I was living in the twilight world, not seeing much of the daytime, spending most of my time at the pub and generally working far too much.
Since then I have become less rich less old (in an oddly depressing way)
I've moved around the country gathering lots and lots of completely usless information and generall wishing I was not quite exactly here.
You can take whatever you want from that last statement.
So, what can you expect of me now?
More of less things and a lot less of the more things that I have yet to do in a stylishly slow and painstakingly long winded way.

Heres to the next 5 years of nothingness.

Golly, is that the time??? (Dec 28, 1999)
My word, it is late! Well, early.
It's nearly 10am and is now very light. It's not the light that scares me (it does make me worry though), it's my brother telling me that the dark time (or night as he calls it) is meant for sleeping, and I have yet to either understand this, or infact, do it.
I have been working nights and I have developed a great apathy with this 'daytime' stuff.
The most alarming thing about it, is the people who populate it. I'm not saying they are bad. How would I know? It's just that they get so concerned with all manner of little things and seem terribly not exactly happy.
The dark seems to cheer people up.
Hmmmm, I feel a guide entry coming on.......
