So finally....Italy in a few days.. and I'm starting to tidy up my account ie. deleting my blogs so my whingings are not just floating around in cyberspace...
I've been able to fix myself up with a half decent MySpace page and have managed to add a few people from SG as friends there. If anyone else who reads this has one.. drop me a...

Wow! That sounds very cool indeed!
There was one body on display at the exhibition that had some skin intact...and I could see tattoos, but couldn't tell what they were. It really brought home to me the fact that these had actually been people once - it was difficult to visualize at first.
Thanks for your sweet comment. I hope that circumstances are going well for you, too!

Thanks hun yeh ex's = bad news.x

well, yes, i think i just want a break from the old people. dopn't get me wrong, i love the elderly for the most part - but living next to people with dementia, you start to actually lose your own marbles after a while.
yeah, i discovered i weas happier outside the UK pretty quickly - as much as people who visit sweden are like 'oh, it's expensive', i think everywhere is nowadays, and i don't find it that more pricey here, it's just that - with groceries for example - they don't really have the budget lines of products that we have. you know, supermarket's own brand of stuff - cans of beans for ten pence and such (student food the country over).
i'm going to go down to stockholm the end of next month, on my own i think - stay a night so i have two days to just wnader around, go to bookstores and stuff. should be fun. in the meantime, the houseguest. . yeah, i have no idea what to expect. frankly, she's talking about dressing my girlfriend up in drag, so. . . *raises eyebrow* who knows.
anyway. i hope you pick up with your writing again soon. i suspect it might do once you get to italy and settle in - travel, and new places tend to be inspirational in that sense, as is being happier with your surroundings.
good luck getting yourself ready for the trip

rough day for you then, 
hope its going better now.
i know what its like with the parents, there are other circumstances involved with my family, but suffice to say my side is very rarely taken, and lots of arguments happen as a result. i often think that being away from them all will make my relationships with them all be better. You can only hope that that will be the case when you go to Italy.
and the kids thing, i totally agree with, so go ahead and moan all you like!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, I'm sure the umbrella wouldn't be seen as an asset!
How are your plans for traveling to Italy proceeding? I hope all is going well for you!

What is it? Fear of cutting loose, or fear of disappointing your current employer?
rxdxt:
I'm just back from London where I literally melted. The subways were like 120 degrees !
Festivals sound like fun... wish I was back in time.
if you are near London go see our film, it opens this weekend.

Muchas gracias on the message, it was really appreciated. Take care of yourself, now
takeahnase:
Thanks again, luv, I appreciate everything. I kinda thought that'd be the case with the new Melissa P, though I think I'll give it a check out eventually. You look after yourself, okay?

Hi. Yes, what I wonder is exactly HOW much hard work it should be, a bit here and there, yes, sometimes for a while, but not ALL THE FUCKING TIME. That's just.. not "it." The relationship's just changed and I'm not sure he really admits that like I do. But he does say he agrees so I don't know. We'll see when we meet, in a few weeks.
severus:
I've been honest, and it made me feel better, but I still haven't made up my mind, or we, or ... I think I'm the once that will have the final word here, because he's not as unhappy with the relationship as I am.

a marathon at night sounds like fun - frankly a lot more fun than doing one in the daytime. a great thing to be a part of though - even though you're bloody sore afterwards. good on you 
living for the moment is good, i think you become more open to doing and trying things you might otherwise not think of, and thus are more open to things which invariably turn out to be good. i figure there are all these people who base their lives around making longterm plans, and then something happens, and they never get to fulfil those plans. . . i don't wnat to end up with unfulfilled goals, you know?
me, i never would have thought i would ever go fishing - i totally looked down on the whole thing - 'fishing? sitting around with a fishing rod waiting for fish that might never actually come? pffff' - you know? but i loved it - it was so relaxing, and a good thing to do with my future father-in-law as kind of a necessary bonding 'thing', you know, him showing me the ropes, teaching me how to cast the line out and stuff. . . my dad was kind of a workaholic when i was growing up, so there was really none of that stuff - so it was actually kind of touching
plus i caught a fish! a big(ish) bass, then cooked it over a lof fire by the lake. . . it was lovely, and just nice to kind of be out in nature, enjoying the sunshine. plus, of course, i had a beer or two. which helped the whole experience

Computer stuff pays my bills!! if i lived near you i would fix it for nothing, cause if you take it to a shop then they will charge you for something that may be really easy to fix.
If you feel confident try reinstalling windows as a basic solution. If this doesnt work, then fire the error message into google or somewhere: there are lots of technical sites out there that you can find solutions on.
Otherwise a shop may be your only option.
On the other hand if you are desperate to get the stuff from the harddrive then you could try plugging into another computer as a secondary drive, it would mean you would be able to get your stuff from it
Good Luck!!!!

hi again
Yes, if you can connect the laptop hard drive to your other computer it should just be like having another drive when you use it. If your laptop and your other computer have infra red ports you can use them, if they are both activated...which might be a problem if your laptop doesnt turn on right...
the other way is to use a laptop hardrive adapter cable so that you can plug it straight into one of the IDE cables on your other computer. Its all pretty complicated tho, there are lots of plugs to remove and plug in, switches to be put in the right position....it can be a nightmare...i will tell you what to do if you want, though it will be a lengthy description!!
