The Illiterati...
Posted Sep 10, 2004
As most of you would be aware...I go to pub trivia every week with my Dad and various ring-ins 
.
There was a new team on Tuesday. They were called "So long and thanks for the fish".
Part of me wanted to be their friend, because of the Adam's affiliation.
Part of me wanted to beat them about the head because they'd left out the *all* (as in "so long and thanks for *all* the fish).
So I decided to do nothing.
They beat us.
(Don't worry if you can't find a point...there isn't one..it's just been something that had been running around in my head...and I decided to put it somewhere else)

The Carnival is Over
Posted Sep 1, 2004
I've just been going through my old journal entries, and old emails...as I am wont to do in the absence of any real entertainment.
(everyone has abandoned me 
)
So anyway, in this time of quiet contemplation, it’s becoming more and more obvious to me how different I *feel* these days. I mean, last year (to anyone who has been around that long, or has been bored enough top go through my old journal entries ) was an absolute drama. I plan on writing about it one day and publishing it. Naturally, I wouldn’t say it was an autobiography. Not only will people be confused (who is this tanzen 
?) but it’s very likely that no one would believe me 
.
Now, although my life is still a mass of 
and wonderful things…it seems to be…I don’t know….calmer (wouldn’t my doctor be pleased 
). Having said that, most of last year’s upheaval was due to boys (and girl). As my Ranger 
so aptly puts it “a cast of thousands” 
. And this year, after the misadventures with the American chap, I sat still.
I wouldn’t worry about boys. I barely even looked at boys.
(Not that I did to begin with, but I think I made more of a conscious effort to ignore them )
And that was when things started getting easier…and out of the blue I met the coolest boy in the world.
(let’s not make a big deal about that…it’s marvellous and I daresay it won’t last…tanzen doesn’t deserve pretty things )
But I suppose the point I am making is that these days things seem…settled. I mean, I’m still a headcase and w**k still blows…but better.
So now I can at least have a giggle at the stuff that I daresay everyone a year ago was giggling about…now that outcomes have been determined I can see the humour in situations and my reactions to them. So that old adage, you know “one day we’ll look back on this and laugh”, seems to hold true.
So let’s all have a little chuckle, the jokes are on me

Naming my children...
Posted Jun 22, 2004
...ok, just to jump in on any thoughts running through random minds...no I'm not married *yet* , and I'm not knocked up (unless I'm having the Jesus baby, but I don't think God's sense of humour is that warped ).
I am thinking of names for my dragon and phoenix...now, I suppose most people would know about the dragon on my right arm...and I'm sure I've told a few people about my plans to get a phoenix on my left arm...apart from the fact that I love the idea of the dragon and phoenix, the are supposed to represent the masculine and the feminine (maybe the phoenix will balance me )...and apart from that it appeals to my sense of symmetry...
So I'm trying to think of names...hopefully somewhere between too serious and too funny...and it's a bit tricky for me to think of any...so I beg the help of my friends (that'd be you guys ) to help me pick out some names...
These are the ones I've thought of so far...
Abelard and Heloise
Bonnie and Clyde
Sid and Nancy
Lennon and McCartney
Statler & Waldorf (which isn’t really going to work if ones a boy and one’s a girl, but it’s still a good idea )
Sam & Eric
Eliza & Darcy
Pinky & the Brain
Benedick & Beatrice
Laurel and Hardy
...as you can tell I'm not doing too well...so any help would be much appreciated

A Random Moment of Unbridled Girliness
Posted Jun 17, 2004
*the most artistic way I can think of saying "stupid 
boys...mess with my head...
*
What happens now?
I was alone, and you were there for me
There’s no need to feel bad about it
You were simply a victim of vicinity
I can’t believe that you would doubt it
It’s not like we’ve never done stupid things before
I didn’t even stop to think how
And now you’re once again darkening my door
I need to know what happens now
I tried to resist but my flesh is so weak
And I always thought of you as a friend
And now that the kingdom’s reclaimed by the meek
It feels like the kingdom might end
It’s not like we’ve never done stupid things before
I never even stopped to think how
But it feels like we’ve broken some unwritten law
And I just don’t know what happens now
We try to deny that this distance is real
That we’re still just as close as ever
But I just can’t deny the way that I feel
Or the nervousness when we’re together
It’s not like we’ve never done stupid things before
I just wish I had stopped to think how
And now you’ve seen that love is my biggest flaw
I can’t foretell what happens now
I can’t stand the silence, I talk all the time
Though most of it floats off above you
How can I say I want you to be mine?
How can I tell you I love you?
It’s not like we’ve never done stupid things before
Though we should’ve stopped to think how
And now that you’re here again I just want you more
So please tell me what happens now.
