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

I was going to write something about how I felt when I saw someone today (pretty crap and wanting to go out and get wasted). But now I've had dinner and some drinks and spoken to my sister and listened to some music I don't feel half as bad.
I just wonder what it is that makes you keep going back for more even when you know it's going to hurt like hell afterwards?

Insecure What you gonna do?
Feel so small they could step on you
called you up answering machine
when the human touch is all I need
all I need...*

it's what I was going to put but I think it's such a poignant lyric I'll put it there anyway.

*Out To Get You by James

I feel for you here! It's why I came to h2g2 and why I have accepted a job 100 miles away from everything I know - to avoid seeing someone who cares nothing.

"Man it’s a hot one!
Like seven inches from the midday sun
I hear your whisper and the words melt everyone
But you stay so cool"
SANTANA - Smooth

Drat. I'll have to go and get that album sometime

I did the move to London as part of the getting away first time round. Then she moved to london to work in the city.
I suppose it's not too bad I've not seen her for three months and not spoken to her for about two months.
It just makes me wonder what the hell am I doing with my life if this can get to me (still).

"I have run, I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
but I still haven't found what I'm looking for"
I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For - U2

In my case it was:

"Blue eyed boy meets brown eyed girl"
U2 The sweetest thing

but not to be.

Best not buy Santana, cos track 2 might upset you (Love of my life).

I generally wouldn't upset me, just when I actually speak or see this person. It's happenning at once every few months. I think I can cope


"Don't you wish you didn't function, wish you didn't think
beyond the next paycheck the next little drink?
Well you do so make up your mind to go on,
'cos when you woke up this morning everything you had was gone"
Alabama 3, Woke Up This Morning

*swims around various forums before work, straightening things out, putting CD's back in their cases and sweeping stuff under the carpet*

Much better!

*Fixes smile on face, then looks in mirror and realises what a coelacanth actually looks like when smiling and thinks better of it!*

ps. thanks.

even if you have your own ideas of why people write what they write due to various psychology theories. I was trained as an engineer at uni, now I work with computers. People are difficult enough to fathom out without add those kind of ideas into the equation!

She'll carry on though it all,
She's a waterfall

Waterfall, The Stone Roses.
(I was listening to the album and it made me think of you trying to
jump Niagara )

Thank you for thinking me! There is the expression 'rock solid' but to me water is stronger. So a waterfall.

I am lots of things, and one is to do with psychology, but I always stay part time. I like the idea of having some time that I don't sell - time I own for myself.

There is an engineers museum near me, and its a fascinating place, full of their creative solutions to almost anything.

And people don't think engineers are creative
I can say it does take some imagination to come up with solutions to some of the problems that you can hit when you try and do something seemingly simple.

What people don't think engineers are creative? Send them over to me and I'll give them a special coelacanth smile.
