Hello Wednesday

plasticniki [Edit] [Delete] 96 replies 07:55 December 5th, 2012

I'm not going to drone on about myself for...

Oh wait, yes I am.

Today's cold, yes? Nearly fell over several times on the way to the station and I think my train will be late because of snow, even though I can't see any.

Started reading The Walking Dead last night but it's too big to take on my commute :(

there were about 10 snow flakes here and there, which was like, WOW! happy white christmas to me! I'm going to the Royal Tonadoori tonight, which is nice, for me.

People on Facebook (Theo, Chintzy) have been banging on about snow.

I've just walked Bermondsey - London Bridge and there's not a sniff of it. It's not even all that cold.

I've been really hungry the past few days, just eating everything. I think it's all the food threads.

    - Not like wen I wer a lad
      
      I'll never forget that first day at t'pit. Me an' mi father worked a seventy two hour shift, an' then we walked home forty three mile through t'snow in us bare feet, huddled inside us clothes med out o' old sacks. Eventually we trudged over t'hill until wi could see t'street light twinklin' in our village. Mi father smiled down at mi through t'icicles hangin' off his nose. "Nearly home now lad", he said. We stumbled into t'house and stood there freezin' cold and tired out, shiverin' and miserable, in front o' t' meagre fire. Any road, mi mam says "Cheer up, lads. I've got you some nice brown bread and butter for yer tea."
      
      Ee, mi father went crackers. He reached out and gently pulled mi mam towards 'im by t'throat. "You big fat, idle ugly wart", he said. "You gret useless spawny-eyed parrot-faced wazzock." ('E had a way wi words, mi father. He'd bin to college, y'know). "You've been out playin' bingo all afternoon instead o' gettin' some proper snap ready for me an' this lad", he explained to mi poor, little, purple-faced mam.

Mostly just slushy nonsense on the walk in for me

This is a bit Bridget Jones but I'm continuing to lose weight at a steady pace, which I'm chuffed about.

Continuing the theme, I had another (boring) minor lady-person interaction which has further convinced me that I understand nothing. NOTHING.

Stupidly drank on a very empty stomach last night.

Was sick when I got home. This was a good thing though as I woke up sans a hangover this morning. Though I did cry as I hate throwing up. I am such a girl.

I am not going to drink again for a very long time I have decided.

Took me 70 minutes to get into work this morning

Usually takes under 10. A tiny bit of snow causes chaos on the roads.
Hopefully trains are going to be okay later as I'm off to that London to see Ben Folds Five this evening.
Not as excited as I was when I booked the tickets 6 months ago.
Thought the new album was a bit of a let down, just seems a bit bland.
