Update
Posted Apr 7, 2004
Handed in the first draft of the short story. Hanging on the telephone for feedback from my editor.
Talked at length to Em tonight. Somebody must've talked to him and told him I was on my way out unless he stopped being horrible to me. I suspect mutual friend V, bless 'er. He said he's having trouble handling the long-distance thing, but he really wants to try because he really likes me.
Enough for me at this stage.
My weblog has turned into an actual website, with my own domain name and all. Feel free to drop an eye at http://www.saitenereunsegreto.com. All Italian, all the time, but you may leave a message if you wish, there is a message board here:

My readership has followed me from the old weblog to the new site, which is really quite good, I'm impressed with their loyalty. Bids well for my writing career

Saturday night in
Posted Apr 3, 2004
There was a good gig in town tonight, but I'm really too knackered to turn up. Last night I slept for ten hours solid, basically slept through half the day. My body needs rest. I need quality time with myself, as they say, so now I'm going to make myself a mug of chamomile tea, work on the short story a bit, maybe later text-message Em to say goodnight, then go to bed.
Haven't spent a Satuday night in for ages. Feels strangely comforting.

Anxiety attack
Posted Mar 31, 2004
Dear me I'm having one of my anxiety attacks. I think I'll pop a little Valium and go to bed a bit earlier today. Stomach clenched and increased heart rate, it's not right.
Too much to do, too little time, and the deadline on that short story is drawing closer...

"What would I do without you?"
Posted Mar 29, 2004
Some people I just could not do wihout. I've been having a bad couple of days in my (very long-distance) relationship, so this morning I text-messaged D: "When will you be back? I really need to talk to you."
"I'm home right now! Leaving tomorrow morning."
"I'll ring you tonight if you're not too busy."
"Do."
I did. I told him about my troubles, about how hard I'm finding it to negotiate this new relationship and fit it into my life. I'm having to learn to read a new person all over again, and sometimes it just comes across all wrong and I end up hurt and resentful.
I half-expected D to go off on one and tell me to dump Em on the spot for not being "good enough" for me. Instead he was calm and reasonable and pointed a few things out to me that wouldn't have seen otherwise.
The eyes of a friend who loves me see things I cannot see. I cried a bit (he's brilliant because he can listen to me bawl down the phone, got a few things off my chest, was reassured, and have just come off the messenger with Em - surprise, no arguments and lots of loveliness going on.
"What would I do without you?" I text messaged D a couple of hours ago.
And it's true. Some people you just cannot do without.
