I'll take that bet!

My love of alcohol is stronger than my need for happiness so I'm sure it will help tremendously!

don't oranges give you constipation? If you're still constipated (in the faecal sense), give prunes a whirl... eat an entire tin or two, wait 4 hours and get ready for the ultimate detox.

Did you like Ice Age?

I'm . . . I'm only an orange belt.

(cries)

they never expect the spanish inquisition..

cup of tea?

Zoinks!

It's scary to think that our own governments/organisations could be 'aiding' these groups, solely for selfish-money-making schemes like an ID card...

I'm fairly sure people don't go far beyond the reactionary phase anymore. They could in theory look up British involvement around the world and see it's dirty deeds. They could try to understand how when desperate people, who were trained by the CIA to do Exactly What They Just Did, get together there is bloodshed. Or they could just get angry at people for not blindly banding together in some sort of mystical union which we all feel and share. Although it didn't exist before the explosions, and will quickly dissipate afterwards. Just because something tragic happened doesn't mean we should forget all the tragedies inflicted by our governments. No one deserves to die, and yet everyday they do. They need to understand that this isn't unprovoked or even unwarranted. Just very unfortunate.

garden!

Aw! It's a good thing! A fox pup playing must be the cutest thing in the world. Plus having a mangy, nocturnal mother fox is cool, too. Because even if she's crazy . . . she's still crazy like a fox.

Eh-xactly.

The filename says blue.. what sort of deception is this?

that is cool going to places you went as a kid, and not for a long time. I remember tripping out when I walked around my empty highschool on a weekend morning awhile back. It looked much smaller than I remembered it.

I think usefulness is a good test too but I think I prefer to think in terms of value. Utility as a term has some baggage that I don't like so much.

Thinking in terms of sedimentation doesn't allow for a middle ground so well. I want to think in terms of plasticity. A sense of oneself, of agency and personal responsibility, while also being open to change and learning.

I suspect that anything we do limits how we operate - it seems to be the nature of choice - that in making one, we exclude something and limit ourselves. The art it seems to me is to make choices which allow us to continue to grow.

I chose to stay at home yesterday and I chose to certain extent to fall ill in the first place. I've been trying to find a way to take some time off for myself but it's very hard. I had 5 fucking calls on my mobile yesterday with apparent emergencies. I ignored them. They weren't emergencies at all. At the moment I'm the only f/t member of staff - a situation I should have remedied by September. I should be able to take a good chunk of time off in August, between the adverts/interviews and the start dates. Between now and then I can see myself taking the odd day here and there...

Wasn't sure how to take your comment in the fake life thread. It looks like she took it at face value. It is quite easy to say "wake up" but frequently not that helpful, so I liked what you wrote, and felt appropriately chastened. I guess I couldn't decide on whether you were being ironic and if so, to what extent.

Thanks for a great comment. And am glad that you saw sunsets, cried to music and found connection. Important stuff.

I'm at this very moment feeling very moved by ARCHIVE's Vaillant Theme. Expansive, intense, pensive, intimate.

I won't mention the make-up thing to anyone, don't worry.

Shit! I always forget off the tracks. It's only 15 mins away from us. Saying that, Andrea's not really in a festy state with her broken leg
Sounds like you had a good time though matey. You should drop me a line when the Autunm one is comming up
Take it easy Sitka.

I had a big cheese sandwich. That was intensely satisfying yum yum.

How's Scotland?
