Thus spake Queens of the Stone Age:
"Nicotine, Valium, Vicodin, marijuana, ecstasy and alcohol"
they may be on to something there...
(or possibly simply ON something)

All apologies
Posted Mar 19, 2003
I do realise that my perennial whingeing is perfectly useless. I would like to apologise for coming across as insensitive, when it's perfectly obvious that each and every one has their own problems, and that my existential crisis may sound ridiculous.
It's not that I don't care, folks. It's just that I feel very much useless, and I wish I could find the right words for everybody, including myself.
I think I'll go sit by the river and hope that the words will come to me, and I will find it in my heart to be a contributing member of humankind again.

"We all lead interesting lives, and your Journal is the place to tell everyone exactly what makes your days buzz by."
Oh, yeah.
Of course.
My life is SOOOO interesting.
Dead-end job, no publisher (although I did print five copies of the first chapter of my new novel, plus cover letter; I mean to send them off this week), depressing love life (D AWOL again, he hinted at troubles with the girlfriend, but I can't help him in that department. How could I), no prospects of any kind except to grow old and die alone.
Well, that is how I feel anyway.

More random snogging from your favourite compulsive flirt
Posted Mar 2, 2003
... to paraphrase long-forgotten popsters Airhead:
funny how blokes you fall in love with never fancy you
funny how those you don't, do
Too many uninteresting suitors; still, it's good for the ego (although sometimes I wonder what I must project, since I seem to attract mostly sad cases.)
Danced my backside off last night into the wee hours. Was lucky enough to bump into the bloke who was my favourite dancing partner in my Uni years. We'd always sort of fancied each other, a light sexual tension that had always been unexplored because he was seeing the girl he later married. He's not married to her anymore, and we stuck to each other like two magnets for the best part of the night, just dancing, dancing, dancing like the world was going to end, like we were Fred and Ginger except it was a fancy dress party and I'd come as Britney Spears in the "Baby One More Time" video, so I wasn't wearing high heels.
It was such good fun. I didn't realise I'd missed dancing with him for all these years. He's about the only person I know whose inner rhythm matches mine. It was good to see him, too, after such a long time, and get the updates and sit on the floor talking.
And I'm a lot better-looking than I was in my college years, of course. (He hasn't changed. He was sexy then, he's sexy now.)
A long-overdue get-together, most definitely.

Cute button nose
Posted Feb 22, 2003
Just had the cast removed and... My face is so different it feels like a dream. You know when you dream of having platinum blonde hair when you're really a mousy shade of brown? That's it. That's what it feels like. Except I'm not going to wake up with the old bumpy nose ever again. The cute new nose makes me look another five years younger, so I'm down from 30 to the usually estimated 25 to 20 
Seriously, though. My heart is in splinters. But at least I look good.
