h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Have you noticed how if you start off researching about one thing it leads you on to finding out more about other places, people etc? Where do you stop if at all? If my entries sailed through PR like others do then I'd have 100 entries by now probably. Hope everyone is well my best wishes are with all of you.

Opti I just dont have time to do an entry..I dont know how you do it!I would like to find the time.

I think if you find something your passionate about it is easy just to do it. comphrendez?

I recall not so long a go a vicar handing out egg timers to remind people to recharge their batteries and spend time with god. Most people may say that is not easy to do but I don't agree. Its easy. Take a walk with the dog, a bubble bath, pampering session, write an entry for h2g2. These are all things that can come easy to us. Its just a matter of how we choose/want to spend our time. Anyway I'm going off on a tangent. I'll keep schtum.

Its a good way to handle life. I like the story about the egg timers, that is such a good idea

I also dont watch much tv, have many friends in rl (only family), have any children of my own or belong to any clubs. in one word I'm a 'loner'.

You have your bf dont you. I do have a wide circle of friends and a hubby and 3 kids takes up most of my time!

my bf and I live with our parents so we hardly see each other
this may sound like a question but how did you meet your friends? do they live in the area? or go to a club you once went to? I just wonder what the best way to meet people is these days cos people seem so wrapped up in work these days.

Some of my/our friends we met thru work, then there are work colleagues and neighbours etc. Then of course there are mums i met thru the kids at school.

The problem I keep having is that there's nobody my age in work. The neighbours too are the age of my parents. I was wondering whether I should take up dancing again, abseiling, rock climbing and try drama .. role play seems interesting looking at the stand up comedy advert on tv. I don't know where to look to find these societies though.

I reckon the rock climing, abseiling thing would be good cos then you are meeting people with similar interests. Do you have any friends as a couple?

I'll consider going to an indoor centre nearby have one in mind.

Well I consider PSG and Unc to be friends of mine and my bf but we dont get to see them much at all. My bf knows couples where he lives that he sometimes hangs out with.

Why dont you hang out with the couples as a couple ?

I've just got a shock from the cost of role playing ... thats runing about the woods dressed in witch costume or whatever. £60!! If I remember correctly abseiling is only £5. I wonder why the difference.

No idea but I would go with the abseiling if I were you. Im going to sign off now Opti, it was good to chat, catch you soon. Ditz

didn't realise the time. for talking to me. I think the abseiling would be

Hi Opti! I love your journals, you know If you guys would like to head for the south-west any time, there's an open invitation for you. I do a lot of walking and climbing, and I've got as couple of mates who are good at both as well. If you want a weekend away, we've got a spare room any time you like - well, after August, anyway

Skankyrich for the compliment. I think I may take you up on that invitation to. I'd need more details though.

Abseiling's great fun as long as you don't have a problem with height!

I've done it about 3 times now, most recently off this building at my uni:

Sorry for the long link. We did it on the water side too!

It's awful, isn't it? so many entries to write and so little time to do it in... my "to do" list is longer than my arm at this point...

Oh yes... I'm in someone's journal.
*wipes eyes with sleeve and tries to look presentable*

I hate to sound utterly ignorant, but what is abseiling? (Did I spell that right?)

I don't have any friends at work. They're all too busy *working*. (Can you imagine?) And they aren't quite my speed anyway. Most of my friends are either left over from high school or met in college through newspaper work, which is a club, I guess.

The best way to befreind people is to work/play with them, anyway. Not the staring-at-the-computer-and-sending-emails kind of work, but the sort that actually requires interaction. At least, that's my analysis. I'm not quite good enough to write an entry on the topic, though.

York Uni looks great

well i wouldn't say having loads to write about was awful but PR seems to give me grief.

abseiling is walking down the side of a wall attached to a rope.

all my friends are scattered about this country.

for the advice
