Gaaahhh

I've spent all evening catching up on blogs.
Big Dave was at the laptop doctors for two days.
There is so much to read!
Also listening to music.
And youtubing.

I rely to much on my laptop.
It's such a big part of my life.
I'm not entirely sure it's healthy.
The other night I didn't know what to do
with myself.
Usually of an evening I have the telly
on and surf the interwebs.
If there's nothing interesting on I just
mute it 'til something better comes on.
(Oh my god, I'm environmentally unfriendly
AND totally dependent on my laptop!)
But the other night there was nothing on,
well nothing good anyway, so I didn't know what to do.
I ended up reading a book.
Beginning to end.
(Have I told you I'm a fast reader?
Whoosh and I'm done)
Now, don't get me wrong, I love reading.
But I prefer doing it because I feel like it.
Not from a lack of anything else to do.

This begs the question, how on earth did
I spend my evenings pre-Big Dave?
Did I actually have a life?
Like with actual socialising and stuff?
I don't think so....

Now I'm going to telephone my mum.
If I can find my phonecard...
Then off to the cinema with sis.
(look, socialising!!!)

Have a good night the Internet!

so...

I have realised that I'm a bit of
a sci-fi nerd.
Hmm...

Ho hum,
back to my supernatural marathon.

On being a nanny

Had a little cuddle with my g-man tonight.
He's not a very cuddly boy.
So cuddles, when they happen, are special.
And they are only really cuddles in our little world.
He calls it keeping my legs warm.
It mainly involves me lounging on the sofa
and him leaning on my legs.
But it's nice.
It's the closest I get to cuddles with him.
And it's taken me five years to get to this point.

Maybe when I leave this job I'll even get a hug!

Some people...

I am currently deep in an investigation
into "fandom", "fan-fiction" and "fan-wanking"
(it's fascinating stuff people!)
and I'm just...
it's like...
...wow
is all I can say.

Some people seriously need a reality check.

There are articles about the subject of fan(aticism)dom.
Articles angry at the original article.
Articles defending the original article.
Articles defending the subject.
And on it goes.
Until it takes on a life of it's own and is no longer even
remotely related to the original question/opinion/whatever.
I'm following one such discussion at the moment.
It's dizzying.
I have no idea what's going on any more.
And some people are actually a bit scary...
Generally it's hilarious though!

Also, some of these people don't seem to have the
same embarrassment threshold as the rest of us...
From the thread I'm currently reading:

"sure I write (fan fiction), but I draw the line at anything I'd
be embarrassed to actually discuss with them in person
should that ever come up when meeting them..."

Ok, seriously?

This is fun!
I urge you all to delve into this fascinating world!

Peace out

Beautiful ladies!

I got this lady from a brilliant website
where you can find all sorts of vintage images etc.
Well worth a look if you're into that sort of stuff!

Big Dave
(my laptop)
has been a bit iffy in one corner lately.
A bit squeaky and coming apart kind of iffy.
And what do you know, today a screw fell out...

I'm thinking I should take him to the laptop doctor.
It should be a fairly quick thing to fix right?
I mean, I don't know that I could live without him for too long.

Poor Big Dave!
At least he's not in pain, being an inanimate object and all.

Now, off to work I go.
(hey ho, hey ho)

I love this little boy.
I think he's my hero!

"Wahey!"
