well, hello

Fancy seeing you here. Haven't been on properly for AGES as I do not have a computer or internet connection and I work during library hours.

So, what is new? Lots of things probably.

Tell me about them.

Something good that's happened recently is: I came up with a really easy way to make my book much better by getting rid of one of the main characters entirely thus simplifying the whole darn thing just like my agent wanted me to but without changing major bits of plot.

Something bad that's happened recently is: I became homeless by mistake and am now finding it hard to find somewhere to live without a deposit. But this is a good thing in some ways because when I do find somewhere I will be grateful for small things such as: cups of tea and ginger nut biscuits on my own sofa, a bathroom I can use whenever I like, crap tv, a sense of security.

Smoking ban is weird. was taken for a curry and couldn't smoke myself stupid whilst drinking gin and tonics, which was odd. But I smell nicer. And get to moan with other smokers outside places which somehow creates a sense of solidarity.

Gordon Brown is Prime Minister and it doesn't really feel like a big deal one way or the other.

Posh Spice moved to America and I couldn't give a flying satsuma. The Spice Girls reformed and I am embarassed for all of them except Baby who I've always kind of liked for no good reason. I had an ex boyfriend who vehemently hated her forehead for some reason, but I think these two things are unrelated.

I turned thirty and it makes no differenc in my life at all other than people looking incredulous when I tell them my age which is good for my shallow ego.

I saw Travis at Thetford Forest and was right at the very very front and they were breathtaking.

I was surprisingly touched by the 'stone of courage' that kid gave Phil Mitchell's kid in Eastenders. Haven't been touched by Eastenders since Arthur went doolally.

Oh, and it has rained a lot.
