| 25 Jan 09 | January update (1) | (1 Feb 09, 8:44 PM by ChildeRoland) |
| I'm still here! In a lurky sort of a way. My health still isn't 100% - no symptoms of anything in particular, but I seem to have no stamina, to the extent of sometimes being exhausted a few hours after getting up. I think it's in part down to the irregular shifts I'm working at the moment, in various freelance posts. [more...] | ||
| 15 Jul 08 | Resignation (4) | (24 Jul 08, 8:44 PM by rogerow) |
| I resigned from my job today, even though I haven't got another one lined up. Wow. I am so not the kind of person who does this, but needs must. [more...] | ||
| 20 Jun 08 | Still job hunting (2) | (10 Jul 08, 11:21 PM by purplepenny) |
| So I'm still a bit quiet. Still looking for a new job, and pursuing some freelance leads (at all hours). Also still with zelanite. Consequently, I am giving the impression of being one of those women who hangs around a given social scene in order to Find a Man and then vanishes when she has. Argh! I am no such thing. But new man (good) + job implosion (bad) = suddenly no time. Still, I initiated the bloke into Dark, and we're going on the Boat. [more...] | ||
| 24 May 08 | Why I've gone quiet - update for friends (7) | (25 May 08, 9:27 AM by purplepenny) |
| So it probably seems like I've turned out to be one of those people who gets a boyfriend then promptly and annoyingly vanishes. Unfortunately it's not as pleasant a situation as that. [more...] | ||
| 23 Apr 08 | London munch (3) | (24 Apr 08, 9:18 AM by verte) |
| So I've talked Zelanite into coming to the London munch with me. He'll be the one who looks even geekier than I do. | ||
| 14 Apr 08 | It's a man(!) And I haven't killed him. (5) | (20 Apr 08, 7:46 PM by Master_Snoopy) |
| OK, so the world is still a horrible place, the CJB is almost upon us (write to the Lords! write to the Lords!) etc, but it seems I have a man to complain to, and possibly blame it all on. He is the switchy Zelanite, a lurker of this parish. [more...] | ||
| 4 Apr 08 | Torchwood - aaaargh! (4) | (8 Apr 08, 8:03 PM by Delphius1) |
| Oh my goodness. That script was worse than Countrycide (well, possibly not, but there is a buffer of a year between me and Countrycide). [more...] | ||
| 14 Mar 08 | Still being a hermit (4) | (15 Mar 08, 11:44 AM by purplepenny) |
| It's Hades tomorrow, but I just can't get the enthusiasm together for leaving the house. [more...] | ||
| 7 Feb 08 | The next destination in my thrilling calendar | (7 Feb 08, 6:05 PM by purplepenny) |
| OK, I'm going to Hades Dark. Everyone who is everyone is going to be there. And I will be there too, looking at everyone funny. [more...] | ||
| 27 Jan 08 | An unhelpful revelation | (27 Jan 08, 5:16 PM by purplepenny) |
| I must need my head examined. [more...] | ||
| 25 Jan 08 | In which people talk to me and it's all a bit much (3) | (27 Jan 08, 11:04 PM by purplepenny) |
| That was a packed London Munch. [more...] | ||
| 25 Jan 08 | 'Extreme porn' Red Pepper article | (25 Jan 08, 11:27 PM by purplepenny) |
| This has been up for a week or so but a couple of people have enthused about it so I thought I'd link here. [more...] | ||
| 12 Jan 08 | What I should be doing? (7) | (13 Jan 08, 11:32 PM by ThedaVamp) |
| Maybe what I need to do to maintain an existence here is start writing geek porn. [more...] | ||
| 9 Jan 08 | Nothing new (3) | (12 Jan 08, 1:21 AM by purplepenny) |
| So... I'm theoretically more articulate than... hell, than an articulated lorry, but that does not translate into having anything to say. Possibly the opposite. [more...] | ||
| 8 Dec 07 | A little orientation crisis (4) | (9 Dec 07, 9:37 AM by Island_man) |
| Er, has anyone seen my sub side? I don't know if I've mislaid it, or if it ran off on its own. [more...] | ||
| 7 Dec 07 | I have found it! Geek porn! (2) | (7 Dec 07, 7:19 PM by jim_scot2000) |
| Yes! Speccy, weedy men in glasses doing kinky things! [more...] | ||
| 2 Dec 07 | A difficult Hades (14) | (3 Dec 07, 9:06 PM by electricfog) |
| Oh dear… it never goes well when I get moderately optimistic about something. I could say that I personally am cursed, but that would be rather self-important. I think the truth is something much less socially acceptable… Hades was terrible. [more...] | ||
| 1 Dec 07 | I'm actually going somewhere (6) | (1 Dec 07, 6:32 PM by purplepenny) |
| Going to Hades. Looking forward to it as well! I have at least one person to talk to/beat up. [more...] | ||
| 23 Oct 07 | Men "too scared" to go to munches (18) | (24 Oct 07, 11:42 PM by Cortina) |
| In general I'm well aware that the “female switch knee-deep in applicants” factor is a product of social conditions and nothing to do with me personally, so I try not to get delusions of grandeur and go sending snotty replies just because I can. [more...] | ||
