Stood up by an OK Cupid date... oh well... sad waste of makeup though.

Actually I've been getting an odd amount of attention lately... I think I must be going around looking especially gloomy though, because a great deal of it is 'cheer up' and 'are you okay?' kind of comments from people on the street.

if you had your glad rags on and were all dolled up, you should have found a quiet winebar.....I'm sure a handsome fellow would have walked your way....
grayness:
Heh. I get told I frequently look like I am contemplating axe murder every so often, by some brave souls who either are fearless and innocent, or just overly honest and not especially bright. That's just when I am trying to think out a problem. But it does the job: I get left alone to concentrate.

Perhaps the mistaken interpretation of your inner workings can likewise be redirected to other ends?

Thought I might have found a possible way of getting some UK citizenship or at least extension for staying based on a grandparent, but alas, it looks like I still don't qualify.

We're getting to about 6 or 7 weeks left of my stay, and suddenly my opinions on marrying for the sake of staying are changing. (Not that that would be possible at this...

Skirt related injury! My first ever in 15 years of overdressing daily.

But I got a few nice photos at Warrington Cemetery for it... spoiled a little by the pain in my knee which is all scraped...

I also got handed a Chick Tract by a Texan -- in the middle of Edinburgh, of all places! Greyfriar's Kirkyard in view! -- and later, an Italian...

Well, supposedly I removed my "Hopeful" status but it's still showing at the moment... maybe it will go away soon...

Yeah, the fact is, as I declare periodically, I have no intention of ever shooting another set; and I find it rather irritating to be asked to do more. There will not be anymore sets for this site. There's no point -- there was maybe...

Maybe it is the fact that you are different that makes people think you should shoot another set?
franie:
It looks like the title is gone now.

Just be yourself. If it doesn't fit on here, then it is the site's loss.

I don't think I've been this skinny since I did the Crude Furie shoot, which was about the thinnest I've ever been. I need more Irn Bru.

Yep, the Marquis is not talking to me for some reason.

Went out yesterday with another OK Cupid match. I have in my profile a warning about 'damaged fish' -- intended to warn against me and that I'm probably not the girl of anyone's dreams -- but I'm seeing it with the available guys, too. Yesterday was an Irishman with cancer. I've also gone out...

Happened across Mr. Hat this evening and this is the third time in a row I've seen him without any hats... (to his detriment; he was looking very sunburnt a couple days ago, his face and the top of his bald head.) He may require a new nickname at this rate.

I'm apparently burning way too many calories... yesterday I ate two peanut butter and...

Woke up today and the first thing on my mind was the Marquis.

Horrors! This is how it begins... the nightmare that is how I experience human affection...
kay:
ha ha. Wow. I just got back to town and caught up on your adventures. The photos are lovely by the by and happy belated.

Today I ate a peanut butter and honey sandwich, a lot of bread and butter, and macaroni and cheese with peas and tuna added.

I'm also finding I get on well with guys who have curled/handlebar mustaches.

My apologies for missing the actual day, since I know when it is. blackeyed

You are definitely not middle aged by any stretch of the imagination!

I hope you have an enjoyable trip.

Quitting while you are ahead is the way to go!eeek

Dating I'd like anything involving personal power. Begin with the end in mind. What do you want from a guy? Define that in whatever's terms get you where you need to be.

My skin's been much clearer all in all in Edinburgh than it was in Santa Fe for the last 4 or so months before I left... I noticed in York my skin cleared up almost totally... and now I'm back to getting a few pimples... I'm wondering if my pillows might be too unclean, so I washed one of them in boiling water. (The washer...

I know you can find some interesting people back here in the states!
As for the guys, new ones may be in order. eeek
waldo_jeffers:
Even if you could figure out a way to stay in Edinburgh, there would still be the question of income. If I have read your updates correctly, your living costs currently exceed your income (correct me if I am wrong). Back in Santa Fe, I presume that you didn't have to pay rent (you lived with your family didn't you?) so, right from the start, that's a big extra expense that you need to cover. Of course, you might make money by writing more books but over the past few months have you spent much time writing? Best of luck figuring it out! smile
