I've got 70 million words to translate by tomorrow morning. And I'm hung over. And I don't know what the fuck I'm doing in Berlin really. And old age is just around the corner. And my husband and I... OK, no, I won't say that.
Hope you're lovelily untroubled.
This morning I woke up to discover I'm turning into a giant cockroach.
*stamps on Wyndham's head and swivels shoe* (Not really.)
I'm suddenly feeling very lonely. And I want to machine gun my client.
I have no idea in which direction my life is going, and if I did, I would probably equate that knowledge with my incipient death.
Does anyone have a crystal ball?
The economy is weighing on me.
I just went to the supermarket to buy a loaf of bread, but then I thought: "I can't just buy a loaf of bread, they'll think I'm taking the piss."
So I had to buy a box of flapjacks as well, because I didn't want the girl on the checkout to think I was wasting her time.
I worry about money. I need more money. I also need to lose 20 pounds and I stress about my health. Meh.
and I know I should just diet and excersise but I hate both. Can you give me another option?
>>>Can you give me another option?
Get fat?
Merle Haggard was in town last night and didn't tell me. Gulp. Sob.
Should I get a Pug?
Arabella - please do get a pug. Pug videos on YouTube are my second favourite thing after dachshund videos on YouTube.
Should I become a human rights lawyer? I just googled "how do I become a human rights lawyer". That might not be the way to go about it, but hopefully no law school will hold it against me.
I was going to post something here but then I went into a record shop on my lunch break and Perfect was playing and I thought fuck it, things will work out.
So cheers for that. This is a lovely thing for you to post.
PS: bowleserised, a friend of mine did a normal law degree in college and then went on to do some kind of intership with the UN. So that's an option. If you call up someone in a university law department I'm sure they could point you in the right direction.
Thanks for that LC however I was thinking more along the lines of starvation.
My wedding is in exactly 3 months and I still haven't booked a videographer or told my mom that i can't find one.
I am falling behind with my coursework, am financially incompetent and I have to spend the weekend with my in-laws - boo!
On the plus side, the sun is shining.
Hope this post wasn't prompted by lots of worries of your own?
My my. Plenty of troubles for the doctor. Right then *rolls up sleeves*
BiB – drink through it! Hair of the dog for the hangover – plus thinking in a foreign language flows more naturally when you’re pissed, I find. Old age – pah, we laugh in the face of old age. And you’re not old ducky, you’re IN YOUR PRIME. Feel free to email me with moans, I’m rubbish at relationships but even that will make you feel better.
Wyndham – have you considered writing a book about it?
GSE – loneliness is a tough nut to crack. I don’t really have a solution, all I can say is that I think everyone feels lonely sometimes, even coupled up or with big families. If we weren’t lonely we wouldn’t be human – we’d be another animal entirely. Like dogs, or seahorses, or something.
Rad, ah the economy. Here are a couple of ideas I’ve been considering myself; get an allotment, grow own food. You already have a bike. Stop reading newspapers and watching TV news, you’ll feel 100% better. And my favourite fantasy – find a priceless painting in a junk shop for 10p and sell it at Christie’s for a squillion quid, retire to your own private island.
LC – what is the problem here? Is it the flapjacks? I can help you out with them...
Sar – oh money, the root of all evil. I think your money situation will resolve itself when you’re paying cheaper rent, and then later when there is two of you sharing. Patience, my love. Health – you know what’s the best exercise, which burns lots of calories and is fun? Oh yes. Get P to be your personal trainer *cough*
LC – you be sweet to Bad Sarah, or there’ll be trouble.
Arabella, I don’t know Merle Haggard so I don’t know how to console you. Definitely get a pug – in fact, get two – Bad Sarah will gladly take them for walks.
Bowleserised – yes, become a human rights lawyer, I’ll be your loyal PA and we can fight crimes against humanity like the dynamic duo. I don’t know what to do either, I keep meaning to work my way through 'What Colour Is Your Parachute?' As he says, we spend more time thinking about what we're going to do on the weekend than what we're going to do in our jobs for the rest of our lives.
Thanks, Emordino. And thank you for helping one of my patients – hey, this is like group therapy. Group hug!
Chaucer’s Itch – oh hon, too much to think about with weddings. I don’t know anyone in your neighbourhood – friends’ recommendations are usually best, or do you know one of your guests who owns a camera and would be willing to be in charge? Maybe you could fly Annie Rhiannon in for the occasion...
Thanks, Marsha, kind of you to ask. I just came across the picture and liked it. Coursework - I hear that there are websites which will supply you with coursework for a small fee... In-laws - can't you develop a sudden highly contagious disease on Friday? Enjoy the sunshine.
Many parts of my life are a bit topsy -turvy lately, but I'm more concerned with the fact that I think I fell out of love with Ms Morissette last night. Our eyes met a few times, it's true, but I just felt like she couldn't be bothered anymore.
Here's a suggestion for CI's wedding thingey - ask guests to bring their own video recorders and hire an editor after the event. Or make your mother edit it; that should shut 'er up. x
Emordino – thank you for tip!
Annie – if we do that we need matching Wonder Woman outfits, ok? I just read Johnny Bunko because that man on Boing Boing recommended it, but to be honest it was ideas like that that got me where I am today. And I think I might need to be elsewhere...
I was just about to suggest Annie R to CB but I also LOVE (in the way one only can after too many cocktails) Arabella's solution.
You know what. We're already having a go at growing our own spuds. Unfortunately I can no longer commute by bike as the fuckwits I worked for relocated me to the other side of the city. Hence worrying about the economy as I've no choice but to drive. :(
Don't read any papers except the Eye. Gave them up after wading through six pages of a minor royal sucking someones toe!
