Another whinge
Posted Jun 19, 2000
Unrequited love sucks .. indeed, just unrequited affection or general attraction bites my b****x big time. Don't get me wrong, had a good weekend all in all, just one or two things happened that have resulted in a mightily miffed Grendel sitting at his keyboard listening to Phil bloody Collins. "Against All Odds" is a bloody well-written angst song though, and that's why it's on.
Again.. nobody specifically has caused this - just a succession of events o'er the weekend that have confirmed two things. 1) It's utterly pointless falling in love because 99 per cent of the time it is either never requited or only requited for a certain period, and 2) Women only go for the b******s. Christ only knows, I put enough effort into making the best of myself. I'm a woman's reproductive dream - tall, cute accent, good job, amusing (so I'm told), nice car, as well-dressed as my body and salary allow.. it's all just cobblers isn't it?
My good friend Sally pointed out to me yesterday that I always seem to talk about 'deep' things.. I'm not sure how true that is, I can talk superficial rubbish with the best of them, and often do - but I suppose it's fair to say I try and apply intelligence to most things I say - is this out of the ordinary? I suppose it is, in the scheme of things. Bugger.
Mind you, one interesting point comes out of this - where else do you ever see the word 'unrequited' in a context to do with anything other than love? The English language is a strange mistress.
On the bright side however, the weather is gorgeous. 31 degrees in Bedford, and only a little hay fever today. Joyous. That certainly lifted my mood if nothing else did today.

Spelling mistakes
Posted Jun 11, 2000
Dear Poinds of View. Why oh why oh why oh why.
Why do people insist upon repeating the same stupid spelling mistakes over and over again? I refer, of course, to the incessant misuse of 'your' (third person possessive pronoun) and 'you're' (concatenation of 'you are' - hence a inflected verbal phrase). Viz - 'I heard that your going to the pub tonight', or 'You're cat just peed on my shoes'. It's ungrammatical and ugly - anyone with a brain can intuitively see the difference - so why do people insist on being so sloppy? Or are the unwashed masses just growing increasingly more illiterate? I dispair.

Red Stripe and Curry
Posted Jun 10, 2000
Aaaaaaahhhhhhh.
Went out last night with a few peeps from work - ended up totally plastered, scoffing a curry in the top-hole Magna Tandoori (Tavistock Street, Bedford - highly recommended). Marvellous. the only problem is, whenever I have a really good curry, I always want another one the morning after. Mmmm.. curry.

Hay Fever..
Posted Jun 8, 2000
Arse.. hay fever has struck, later than usual, and now I feel like crap. Mind you, had a top night last night in Hammersmith getting wrecked with ma bezzie Ed and chums. Somehow made it back to Bedford and got some sleep, but a combination of hangover and allergies has reduced me to a wreck. More coffee......

Blimey, it's ages since I've done this..
Been working my arse off really. Have just purchased my fantastic ticket for this year's Reading festival, which promises to be a marvellous weekend of debauchery. The nice thing is that now I live in Bedford it's only an hour's drive away! Smart..
My flat is a tip, Gas costs far too much, and my bank are capitalist b******s. Hang on, so am I.. bugger.
