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

Today, 29-04-00, I was meant to see Jinx. I didn't. I missed her.
I don't know what she thinks of me now, I'm not sure if she missed me, but I feel bad with myself right now.

There's a thread on her page. You can't miss it. The subject...should stand out.

Saw it.
Don't be too hard on yourself: you were given no details as to arrival time/place and could not have been expected to pace the dock all day long. Do you know for a fact that the vessel was ever there?
Poor lad

*is becoming worried*

I'm on one massive downer still. Bad stuff's been happening. I don't need to indulge, but it's no way to end what would have been a great day.

I see my friends, go off and see the Pokemon movie, and I'm on a big high. That film was just great.
My heart's pumping, hoping that I can pull off this stunt in the docks. I couldn't, not quite my fault, but it puts me on a downer.
I come home, and s**t happens.
Luckily, a friend turns up and we go off an watch Blair Witch Project on DVD with two other friends. But I had to miss the last 15 minutes, as I kept ringing home to tell dad I'd be late. I'm not getting through, so I'm wondering what's happening.

Basically, no amount of Slayer of Iron Maiden or god knows what else is getting me out of this downer. I got close with the bit on Killers that I mentioned before, but I'm in a total s**t state right now. I've been in s**t since I got back from the docks, and I'm feeling s**tty right now. Just total s**t.

tell me about it? (email) Am WORRIED

You wanna hear about it? Ok, I'll write tomorrow if I feel up to it. Maybe it won't be so painful tomorrow.

Tomorrow can be my catch-up day. I got mail to sort out (yours included), books to read, a guide entry to write and a life to lead. Think, for one day at least this holiday, I can keep to myself.

Feeling better already

Check your email for card from me!
Look forward to hearing your story (writing telegraphese cos dog is staring at me trying to turn me into food-preparing zombie)

Yeah, I saw that . Soothing music too!

You sure you wanna hear the story? Well, if I feel up to telling it, then you'll hear it.

Yes.

Hmmm, well I just fired off the email and I'm still not up to telling it. Probably won't sound very bad at all, but it was nasty at the time imo

Those sorts of things sink deep even when you feel a bit silly telling them, so don't feel silly telling it. Got yer email, will respond by 10 pm yore tahm.

Sh, very quiet conversation taking place at

and you have been mentioned so you might like to take a look!

Thumbnail graphics used as links: I don't know how to make the caption go under the graphic link; it keeps flying off to the side. I thumbnailed jb in my spiff of you on my home page... and look how the caption is to the right!

And I will respond when the mail comes. Think I may tell the story proper.

Joined in the thread, but it's got a rather serious tone. I'll re-read it offline and see if I can contribute anything sensible.
That Strag(basher)...after the s***ting he gave me! Ah well *^_^*

Hope you get the thumbnails sorted. I don't understand technical krap. You may not believe it from my homepage (it impresses my friends) but I can't get technical stuff. Well...
