Compass Rose

This was going to be another video. The technical hitch this time is that my ‘office’ has been taken over by the build of a new Media Centre PC*. I did actually film something, but since it was about my DVD collection it was in fact dull as the proverbial. Actually it was duller, dishwater would have been enigmatically fascinating. I and my DVDs were not. Plus it made, my face ache. I don’t know why. I honestly don’t. I wasn’t gurning with embarrassment (although I probably should have been).

Monologophobia and other things I have learned since I was allowed into the world by myself (sort of)

*There is no such thing as too much garlic in food.
*It does though, scent bodily fluids.
*There isn’t going to be a point when I feel like I have too many books.
*I will never be a tidy person.
*And sod the “tidy life means tidy mind” aphorism. My mind rocks thank you very much.
*Although the memory part, and the not walking into stationary objects part, could do with some overhauling.
*Talking to people who aren’t here is entirely fine.
*As is speaking out loud what you’re going to write before you write it.
*That the Popular and Bitchy Girls at school, were popular for pretty much one reason.
*And that it’s normal, if not very nice, for me to have looked up their Facebook accounts and laughed. A lot.
*That the Cool Girls are all a bit responsible and establishment now, except for one (and I’m basing that wholly on her job since I’ve not seen her since I was at school).
*That by are large the instructions on the back of food packets are to be ignored. Unless they say “poisonous if eaten cold”.
*That microwaves are annoying. (This is why mine went to the recycling)
*That no one has properly “cool” music taste, and if you should happen to meet someone with no records of dubious nature in their collection then they’re probably inhuman. Or lying. Or both.
*That laptop batteries, even on the most power savery setting, just aren’t long lasting enough for my thinking time.
*I am occasionally guilty of monologophobia, which I am holding my English teachers responsible for having taught us that you COULD NOT use the same word in subsequent sentences. It was uncreative, apparently. Though I don’t at least suffer from dopplerparagraphs like The Independent online edition rather annoyingly does.
