This person is really horrible. We have a rather chequered history in the first place, but the person has caused more problems to me over the last year than anyone else could ever dream of doing. She has been hugely mallicious towards those closest to me as well. What really upsets me is that people at college think she's lovely, because she hasn't yet done anything to them that shows her true colours. Thus, she's fairly popular. She somehow manages to have a finger in everything, and somehow knows the same people as me and is always with them. This makes it hard for me to speak to people. I could go on forever about her and get angrier and angrier, so I think I'll just call it a day now.

If I had a lovely phonecall with someone on, say, Sunday evening, and they said that they didn't want to forget the amazing afternoon we had on Saturday because it was so good, and that it's a shame there is such a distance between us, would you have expected to hear from them since?!

I've just logged onto Amazon, to be greeted by 'Bestsellers in Knitting Books' in the middle of my recommendations. And it's no' just one book, no! There's a whole section of it...in the middle of MY recommendations. My recommendations should contain things like Violin books, old children's pony stories, obscure quantum physics books...so where on earth did knitting come from?!



I don't even like knitting... unsure.gif

Eurgh, why is it when you really make an effort, the person you want to notice isn't there to see it? It's a sixties night tonight at our college bar, and I'm all dressed up, and made myself look as good as possible - and the person I want to see me isn't even here!

Apologies, Tortellini. I'm normally a great stickler for punctuation myself, but with the best will in the world occasionally an apostrophe creeps in. I blame the lateness of the hour for that last gaffe!

Just played Etude all the way through with minimum problems - where the heck did that come from?! blink.gif

It's the one piece we've been avoiding because I just couldn't get my head round it at all, then I just 'get' it without even trying...this restarting business never ceases to amaze me. One minute I can't do something at all, next minute something clicks and I can suddenly do it to quite a reasonable standard.


Still...relearning all this stuff after 14 years was never going to be a logical process, was it? laugh.gif

I think it's the free breakfast handed out by the CU outside the library on a Wednesday that makes me get up for my 9:15 seminar... So, of course I'm not complaining... but why on earth do they do it? They're always giving away free things, we have a note on our door from a boy downstairs requesting that the CU be allowed to come into our flat on Friday night and cook a meal for us!

It's lovely, but why?!

Last night I had a dream, in which I was playing a Paetzold great bass recorder.
This was a happy event, but not entirely 100% brilliant because someone else in the room got the Moeck non-mutant equivalent to play with.
But it was jolly very happy. I think my subconscious is aware I have a bonus coming up soon (to which I reply - no, no, no, no, no, there are far too many sensible things I need to do with proper amounts of money)

The weather forecast is all over the place at the moment. Every couple of hours it seems to alternate between snow and sun for the whole of the next 5 days. And it's saying that today's predominant weather will be sleet when it's also saying that it will be sunny apart from a little bit of rain later, blink.gif
