Clare, i feel i am letting you down with this lack of correspondance. i haven't even spoken to you in 2 weeks which is pretty appalling really. Apologies. I'm afraid this entry, rather than bringing you up to date on all the perilous adventures and thrilling enterprises i've seen my way through in the last month, i want to tell you for a bit about how brilliant Mark is. On Valentine's Day [which for the unenlightened initially had nothing to do with cute romance, it was originally a Pagan ceremony in which teenage men picked their sexual partners for the ensuing year from a hat] one of his gifts to me was a blue rose, which to all Twin Peaks initiates has a very special significance and it was so brilliant after Laura McHale and i spent two solid years trying to find adequate replicas!! He's so cute!
To back this up i have uploaded for your viewing pleasure some photos of him before, during and after i bleached his hair! Think you've only seen it brown and red right? But i really liked the pic of my mirror. Actually i really like them all because he is beautiful and i love him. hehehe...
It occurs to me that I promised you photos of myself a while back to prove to your mates that i'm not actually Kelly Osborne, so i will sort some scans out at some point but i'll mail them to you rather than bunging them on here. Gets messy with too many hyperlinks, don't like it! And me in the public domain...well, too many of my colleagues appear to spend their time searching for me online, don't wanna give them more evidence of my existence! hm.
How goes it with Rob? Any further development on the ...yknow...thing? side of things? Actually curiosity has motivated me to ring you...I bet you won't answer, but at least i'll have tried! i have to say though for the record, in case i dont get through, that my life is pretty damn awesome right now, and i was contemplating only today how it gets better with each progressive year. i asked my parents if they considered this an ongoing thing [my dad's birthday tomorrow!] and they both agreed it was. excellent! it can only get better. i'm so happy even when i'm mad! i love mark so much and i have the coolest job i can get right now, the coolest friends i've had right now and easy prospects lying in wait. I must speak to you to cement the joy. xxx
EDITED LATER THAT NIGHT...
Clare has just told me that the wondrous Jai has joined in the reading of this colourful account of my life! Welcome to my story my sweet, you should have let me know so i could have addressed it to you sooner!

Youre Ok- Youre ALIVE
Laura kept repeating these four words, like a mantra.
Her hands gripped the wheel of the old jeep until her knuckles became white.
Youre Alive
She had been driving for a few hours through the rain forest- it was hard to tell exactly. She wasnt even aware of where she was heading. In her rear-view mirror she could still see the smoke coming up from the now demolished research lab. As far as she knew- she was the only survivor- Her peers were probably all dead. She would have been dead too, if it wasnt for the maintenance tunnels underneath the telescope. Being the youngest scientist, Laura was often sent to fix wires, take readings, and most recently- place some mouse traps underneath along the dark cement corridors. What the three strange men did not notice when they searched the telescopes control room was the slightly open ventilation shaft, out of which Laura had made her escape. Down through the tunnels and out a small and hardly used service entrance she went, holding her laptop under her arm, her heart racing with adrenaline and fear.
It was time for a damage assessment.
She was miles away from civilization and had no means of communication.
Well- there was her laptop and the jeeps computer, which together allowed her to transmit a very powerful radio signal.
To outer space.
Great! This was just Fucking Great!
She had no doubt that the men back at the lab were after her. Well- perhaps not her personally, but there was no doubt in her mind it had to do with the intercepted message. Wait a minute- Were they MEN?!? They certainly didnt seem normal- she managed a quick peek before descending the ladder into the tunnels. They were all really tall, and had a very strange shape to their heads. Not that it mattered at this point- she was alone in the jungle, with few provisions and no weapons.
Laura turned the wheel sharply and stopped her jeep in a small clearing. She had to stop for a second and compose herself.
Along with the sudden silence came the shock of recent events. Laura could feel her eyes starting to water- this was not what she had signed up for! She wasnt looking for THIS kind of excitement- she was a Scientist for god sake- not some science-fiction hero!
-=-=-=-=-=Beep=-=-=-=-=-
She wanted to go home- enough with this nightmare
-=-=-=-=-=Beep=-=-=-=-=-
Lauras eyes slowly turned to her laptop.
-=-=-=-=-=Beep=-=-=-=-=-
The communication unit was still operating- now that it was locked onto the correct coordinates, it didnt need the telescope anymore- it was receiving signals from one of their satellites.
The space guy. He was all she had right now.
Laura wiped her eyes and opened the computer- the same SOS message came up.
SHE was all he had as well.
Two stranded life forms.
It was getting dark. Laura decided to stay in the vehicle for the night. They would be looking for her- she had a pretty good feeling about that. She busied herself camouflaging the jeep with small branches and large leaves until no one could tell it from a jeep buried under rain forest vegetation.
Once inside she turned her attention to her computer- She typed a quick reply:
=#=#=#=Message Intercepted=#=#=#=
=#=#=#Who are you?=#=#=#
She had no idea what was the proper SOS procedure, or if the person (person? Thing?) up there would even understand English. They DID speak English in all those movies didnt they?
It suddenly dawned on her that although her mind was racing, she was physically exhausted- She had to sleep, if only for a little while.
