Just to get things off chest so I can be relaxed again. I may report on progress if I manage to lose it in a big burst of self-righteous rage to the point where I actually listen to the other point of view and get convinced…

Pet Peeves, first installment

1. when ppl turn up uninvited and stay all day on the first day of holiday, after 355(? how many in a year again?) days of dreaming about being aloooone and doing bugger all

2. when ppl imply the thing you set your heart on doing isn’t possible (they just lack imagination) and even worse, they invoke “clock”-driven arguments

3. when social convention forbids you from screeching ‘Give me a break – I’ve got PMT!

4. when ppl who are fat tell you that you eat the wrong foods

5. when you’re feeling really vulnerable and wish everyone would just give you a big hug and they don’t :(

6. when all your electrical appliances have the other country’s plug on them

7. when you wake bolt upright in bed at 5am stressing about some work thing (that isn’t going to change the world, it just feels that way at 5am)

8. when you don’t write to people you really care about because you can’t find the good words

9. when you can’t find your Cat Stevens CD (a recurrent theme, I know)

10. cooking for people with a palette (sp?). You’re lucky to have food! stop being such a snob!

Okay, that last one is unjustified, given my cooking skills. Wow I feel loads better now!
