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

Wake up! I'm bored and everyone else is at the meet.

*waits*

Hey! I'll have you know that I got up quite early today! The alarm went off at ten. I opened my eyes for a couple of seconds, so technically, I got up at that time. Even though I fell back to sleep until the third alarm went off.

But then I was awake! Though, I didn't quite make it out of bed. There's nothing to do at that time in the morning anyway. Best to fall in and out of consciousness while watching Rik Mayall after all.

I bet you really wanted to know all tat, didn't you?

I thought that you were going to go to the meet anyway?

Bah! Can't remember the last time I spent a lazy day in bed. That's what having kids does.

I pulled out of going to the meet a week or so ago, since no job, no beer tokens, that and I was feeling sorry for myself, I've been a proper sulky Sue the last few weeks, must pull myself out of it soon...eventually. Besides, wouldn't have been able to go anyway, my son decided to get really ill this week...got rushed into hospital Monday morning with suspected Menengitis, got given the anti bios etc, eventual tests came back that it wasn't the nasty 'can kill you' one, 'just' a viral one Still, was a crappy few days of worryness. He's getting better now though, so we played Ape Escape on the PS1. Forgotten what a brilliant game that is

You out and about this evening?

Must have been a nasty shock! I'm glad he's getting better.

The playstation makes everything better. I got asked last night if I was leading another life because I've been holed up in my room playing it for a couple of weeks. I've got a long straw going out my window to the kitchen sink for my water supply and hired a monkey (it's a ninja monkey really, but it hasn't had much business lately) to forage for food for me.

I've not played that game before. *cursor hovers over amazon link* Can't buy anything, too skint.

I wasn't going to go out. I had a sandwich earlier this week, that's enough excitement for me.

But I think I'm going to go to pictures in an hour or so.

Oi! Get back online! Film doesn't start for another hour, my mind needs entertaining.

I'm stuck on the game I'm playing, so I chucked the remote down in a huff.

What are you doing tonight?

Ape Escape was the first game to be made with the dual shock analogue thingy I think. It's a really good platform game, loads to it and good value. Took them 4 years to make Ape Escape 2 and shouldn't have bothered, although the graphics were loads better, seems the game itself was sacrificed as a result, tres dissapointing. I seem to have become a games critic.*shrug*

I hardly play these days, can't work out how to connect either the PS1 or 2 to the big tellybox in the living room, and can't play games in my son's room cos he's only got a 14" screen and I can't see it properly. (my excuse for when I keep dying or he beats me).

So, what you going to see at the cinema? Are you back yet?

You got a scart socket in the back of your big telly? There's three in the back of mine, which means I can play DVDs, videos and the playstation all at the same time, whilst eating a sandwich and smoking. I take multitasking to new extremes.

Got back five minutes ago, got lost in the fog. Saw that Jarhead.

I have the VCR & digibox hooked up, and tried every other available orifice including some strange secret ones in the front of the telly, but nothing happened. If I recall, the main problem was with the tuning in, lost the manual, so had to resort to random pressing of every button, it was just too complicated and mystifying. No probs with the old big telly though. Gave up after the urge to put my foot through it became overwhelming.

Jarhead? Haven't seen or heard anything about it. Any good?

Try pressing that AV button when it's plugged in, or offer the telly a plate of butter, dairy usually does the trick. Mine isn't keen on warm milk though.

It's a good film, it was only released this week. It's about these marines who go to the Middle East. There's very little action, they're all waiting for the war to start and start to lose it a bit.

It's the first time in ages that I've been to the pictures. Been getting DVDs on the . Queue was huge too But occasionally I'm a bright spark Went to the ticket collection machines in the corner, rang up the cinema, spoke to a person who was sat 20 feet away in a booth and got the tickets delivered to the machine.

Genius! I hate queuing, for anything. Ever! I get really arsey about it aswell and turn into a complaining old bag. I took my son and his friend to the London dungeon last year and we had to queue for over 2 hours, I was demented by the time we got in there...although it was pretty good, I hadn't completely calmed down, and some stoopid woman jumped out at me from the shadows (part of her job apparently), I nearly thumped her!

Tried the AV thing, even gave the telly a dust and offered up a sacrificial cheese sarnie, all to no effect. All my appliances hate me anyway. They're in league together.

I was bought some popcorn for using my head.

I wish I could get paid for surprising people. Does it have to be at the London Dungeon though? Can I just jump out at people from behind shrubbery?

I hate queues too. A few years ago, a few weeks after that Air ride opened, I went to Alton Towers. The queue for Air was huge! Got in another queue because it was the biggest line of people I'd ever seen and thought that it must be for a brilliant ride. Turned out that it was for the toilets.

It refused a cheese sandwich?! It wasn't that fake cheese, was it? The plastic stuff?

If you used your head to pay for the tickets, what will you take to work with you on Monday?

It struck me that most of the folk working there were drama students or *ahem* resting actors. Some were a tad more enthusiastic than was necessary that's for sure.
I think you should definitely take every opportunity to jump out at peope from behind bushes...then just stand there shouting "WHAAAAT?" at them.

Plastic cheese indeed! One hundred percent, burn the roof of your mouth off vintage, extra matured, super strong cheddar I'll have you know.

Ah, see therein lies the problem. I can't afford the bus fare to go back on monday.

Oh, no. Remembered that I bought one of those bingo month pass things last week. So, I can go.

Damn! Shame on you for forward thinking and budgeting.

I'm really tired, but waiting for 2legs and Roymondo to get back and dish the dirt on the meet, can't see them resisting the urge somehow, no matter how drunk...unless ofcourse they found themselves victims with which to perform rudies.

Think there's a possibilty that they might be too drunk to get some pics up tonight.

I can't sleep!

Sleep's over rated!

Nah, I don't see pictures happening tonight either. Shame mind, be good to see them before they get sober enough to censor them. Actually, on second thoughts, perhaps not.

Did you ever hear anything more from your ex btw? Or do we not want to talk about that. (Do feel free to say 'Shut your face you nosey old crowbag Mrs B)

I've not talked about him with anyone, really. Think some people are trying to avoid the subject for me.

We've gone back to exactly the same way that we were before Christmas. For the week after I saw him since Christmas, I barely spoke to him. I see him regularly so it was a bit awkward for a while.

He's not said a thing about it to me. He's still flirty though, so I'm a bit confused about what's up with him. But, yeah, we seem to have fallen back into the mate routine, like we were before. It was getting me down, still is a bit, thinking about how we get on so well together, like each other and that I'm completely comfortable with him, but nothing seems like it's going to happen.

Where are they? Come on, get back online and embarass themselves!

Maybe people aren't mentioning it to you cos they're waiting for you to bring the subject up, or just avoiding it to save your feelings. But it must be doing your head in, it would if it were me, and if you don't talk about it with people who know you and who's opinion and input you trust, then it's just going to kick around your head getting nowhere.
No chance of you broaching the subject with 'himself' if only to get a straight answer as to where you stand or how he feels? Or would that be like putting your head in the lions mouth and just too horribly embarrassing? Nothing ventured and all that...?
In the meantime, no harm in getting on with living your life and seeing what else is out there, not necessarily other guys, but just to distract you from thinking about it.

Wonder if the pub's got a 24 hour license? I might ring up and get them thrown out so they have to come back here.

It's unusual for them not to be hounding me for any gossip, so I reckon they're trying not to upset me by bringing it up. Either that or they think I'm stupid for giving him another chance in the first place.

After I didn't hear from him for a while, I was so mad at him that I didn't want to speak to him. Now it feels like it's been left too long to ask him. If he did want anything to happen, surely he would have said something though. I seem to like blokes who don't really want a girlfriend.

Oooh, you're evil.
























Do it!

Wait a minute...*Sniffs air* I *think* I can feel a yawn coming on. I might see if I can get any kip and watch a bit more of Rik and Ade. See, even multitask when I'm going to sleep.

Night, Mrs B.























See! There it is!

>>If he did want anything to happen, surely he would have said something though.<< There is that. And when all's said and done, maybe it's just not mean't to be and you're only supposed to be friends. Mean't to bes aren't supposed to hurt.

>>I seem to like blokes who don't really want a girlfriend.<< Join the club, I have an uncanny knack of falling for screaming queens!

Oooh, Rik Mayall (Is that wrong?)


Sleep well honey,
