first day off - so...

I'm a teacher.
First day off is today - so I wake up with a sore throat, tired as hell [noting to do with fact I went to be at 2.30am and got p at 7.45am - ta cat and auto waking sequence - no nothing at all...]
anyhow - yes - I'm now awake.
Tired but awake.
If I go to sleep again, I'll just wake up crabbier and even more tired so I'll get an early night and - er..
Right my plans - lets work backwards from it
25th is the Christmas day thing - I'm in Lake district so need to get there. Said I'd be there for the
23rd - so travel to lake district on this date.
21st/22 [20th?] is solstice so need to be there for that - checking date now....2008

21 December, 12.04

right so 21st I want to be somewhere - as eddie izzard puts it -aahhoohharhhhhhmmmmm.

I want to visit two friends in Northampton on route to the lakes and preferably be with them solstice
I'd like to get to Devon too for present giving and picking up things, but looking more unlikely due to amount of travel involved and other factors.

will post more in a bit

passing 101

thank you pascal, toroun and others on the course for support - George Orwell for the fear and the understanding of numbers - and you, dear reader, for your continued support.
What am i going on about? The BSL course I am currently studying - passed the first assessment.
currently really tired, il - coughing lots - apparently heading down to Devon tomorrow - unsure at current though car is now full - packing a bag tomorrow morning anyhow so either way I'm able to...
just gotta decide if well enough for work now. - will decide I morning
hope you're well

renaming the blog?

I'm 30.
part of me, the 12-17 year old of me thought I would never make it - not in a morbid- "I'm gonna die" but in a prophecy, examination of future way of course, I may be dead and not know it - but as I feel alive still, I'm gonna assume the best/worst and be alive some more.
So - 30.
My bed breaks, I have a snowball fight [it snowed on my birthday in London - how cool?!!], lovely drink sessions with friends - watch a burlesque show [mainly a set of drag artists - very good bu not really that 'burlesque' - still fun though, 30 kisses in as many minutes, skulls with disco-balls in [thanks queen of zombies for that], sabine baring gould, chocolate mushrooms, re wine, more red wine, mead, a lovely Indian dinner, some great books, friends, a day off work sick, catch up with work, losing my mobile phone, tutoring, being exhausted - yes, life is pretty much the same, but with more clutter and fun things to play with.

this weekend I go to Somerset and Bristol/bath.

next w/e, i go to devon.

then is run up to Christmas - my bsl exam is next Thursday and, oh yes, my life is still chaotic, calm and dull yet's full of friends and having fun - sigh - wanting more and at the same time just wanting to rest for a bit - had 12 hours sleep yesterday, woke up in middle of night though due to inability to sleep more than 7 hours now.

Now - now I'm trying to get to sleep - updating my blog and wondering whether or not i go straight to he southwest from work and, if so, whether i should pack my overnight bags now or later tomorrow morning - ...
whats a jet setter like me supposed to do??
[sleep...]

getting a cake out of my wife

ok - well that title could have been slightly less innuendo - tomorrow night I'm going to the World's End Pub in Camden - yay me - my birthday celebrations in london kick off....
10 pm firday night my wife [long story short: basically a woman called Alexia on new year's eve a few year's back, said that she couldn't be embarrassed - i said i could - I stood on a chair and announced that I'd like everyone in that pub to raise a glass to my new wife to be as I has just asked her to marry me and she had said yes [ she hadn't done anything of the sort]
she, me 'wife' went scarlet, and for the next hour people congratulated us, one even bought us both a drink!!!

so yes - tomorrow she's brining cake hopefully, my friends from uni are coming and some others from LARP and we will all get messy with booze... yay

egg moon

So, on the way home from a debauched night out at 'fire', two children describing the moon as an egg - and yes, indeed, it did look like an egg in the sky!
I'm tired but celebrating my 30th in good fashion - if you're reading this and in Devon, I'm coming there in three weeks time - next weekend in London - eating in Babur on the Sunday after going to a burlesque show the night before [ and GAY late as wel I imagine!]
OK - thats generally it
for now - i need sleep...

People aren't chocolates. People are just bastard covered bastards with bastard filling.- scrubs

Not how I feel at all, just really like the quote.

How DO I feel? A few people asking me that recently - apart from the obvious - meh - I'm not to sure - I'm living every day from one to the next, like most people, mindful of the world going on, the wars, the elections of new people etc. but in truth - I don't really care abut anything outside of me own world of experience? Selfish - probably, but that's the truth of things right now.

It's my 30th in a few weeks, I don' really know or care abou the next number, despite this blog being names after the belief of Saturn returning being a major influence in my life and the baggage that comes with '30' - but heck, 23rd of this month, I become a year older.
I'm still being a tart, a bad man, a single guy looking for love in allthe wrong places - and, ultimately [and this is the true sense of irony] - finding it but usually in couples. Yes, dear friends, I'm the third wheel on many lover's bicycles at the moment. A good or bad things - well it gets me attention adn some 'lovin'' but just highlights the loneliness when I return back from the meaty places of the north [you know who you are] and sleep in a large empty bed.
What to do - whine on a log? Watch re-runs of Scrubs? Eat pizza after a meal already eaten? so far so good then...

Poisonous Monkeys, sore ribs and a great deal of fun

And so it came to an end
The LARP [Live action role play]] that I was running and planned for over a season now fully played out over the past weekend. More will be written on it when I m less tired, but needless to say, EVERYONE enjoyed themselves [a rarity in ANY Larp] all went well and, ultimately, we ended up saving the world but starting the seeds for WW2. A good turn of affairs I think?!

Now, I've got to get ready for work tomorrow - would like a day off but not risking it, esp with temperamental departments - thanks to anyone who came to play or crew - Caroline, if you're reading this - had a GREAT time with everyone you sent to me, no anti-matter and a good end night last night too...

Take care good reader, happy All Hallow's and tread carefully once more into the night...
