Last night I spent some time cuddling...
Posted Aug 17, 2004
... the first baby to be born within my friend group! Baby Edward is 2 1/2 weeks old, cute as anything, and farts a lot.
He came over to my house last night to meet uncles Tom and Dan (not strictly uncles as neither myself or Dan are related to Chris or Susi, but we're honorary uncles nevertheless 
)
I was especially happy as, having been passed to me from Dan where he was grizzling a lot, he settled down and only made a couple of threats to start crying.
Such a tiny little human... made by friends of mine!

I feel like I've been in a fight.
Posted Aug 14, 2004
As a matter of fact, I have. The kind of fight which involves trying to stay alive whilst playing with a 7 year- old and a 5 year- old. I've been beaten, bashed, climbed on and tugged in multiple directions at once. I've spent hours finding new and ingenious places to hide (and seek) in my grandparents' house. I've piled sticks on things, climbed up ladders and slid down snakes. I've even taught one of them how to play minesweeper.
And now it's the morning after, and I'm all achey.
I didn't sleep to well... had a dream about c again. It annoys me that she's still in my head and able to get to me without even being anywhere near me.
Oh well- I've started applying for a job: Waste Education & Recycling Assistant at the Borough Council, at a salary of between 15-17 K. Not too bad to start off with. Despite the dodgy title, it does actually seem like it could be quite interesting. There's another one at the same place I'm thinking of going for: Trainee Housing Manager. This involves doing training and getting another qualification, which is fine by me, and the pay's between 14-22 K, which is promising.
Guess that's it for now, apart from the question Where Is The Existential One? It's not like here to be absent from The Guide for an entire day... lets just hope it's because she's off doing something fun

Simple things...

... can make you feel like the biggest idiot that ever walked the Earth.
I've lost my glasses. I put them on before leaving the house to sign on at the jobcentre. On the way back, I realised I wasn't wearing them any more. I don't even remember taking them off. I'm so annoyed with myself.

Update...
Posted Aug 5, 2004
I had a letter this morning from the PGCE people- I haven't got a place.
Ah well. Better find a proper job, then.
Otherwise I'm feeling pretty much the same way I always am. Ever scraping lower. When will this feeling of complete worthlessness end? Or will it never end because I am actually completely worthless?
Who knows.

Stuff and Nonsense
Posted Jul 28, 2004
For those who are interested, my PGCE interview went O.k on monday.
And whether you're interested or not, I'm re-doing my personal space, so take a look, comment and suggest, please- I'm strangely blank for ideas.
I'd like to steal an idea from the delightful Ms EE and ask anyone who feels like it to give me a quote I can use- I'm not talking song lyrics or book quotes, but something you'd say about me. If you want an idea of what I'm talking about, look at the Existential one's U-space.
The best ones will be put on my U-space somewhere
