Everybody's got something they want to sing about,

laugh about,

cry about,

For me ...it's you

Good Enough

cutbacks and harsh realities....

J: my counsellor and I are having a trial separation
M: oh yes?
J: yes I told her it was too much of a committment for me to keep seeing her every week
M: and what did she say?
J: she said we could cut it down to once a month!
M: you're kidding!
J: No - she said that since I've never been any good at endings we should just reduce our meetings
M: you sure it's you that's not good at endings?!
J: I thought it was a bit harsh and judgmental of her actually - I was quite surprised that she didn't add 'oh and with your emotional problems you'll never get a proper boyfriend either!'
M: she was probably thinking it!

school for scoundrels

J: Shane phoned on Valentine's Day - still insisting that the woman who phoned me isn't his wife!
D: Unbelievable!
J: Oh and Raj finally got in touch after nearly 3 months!
D: you're kidding! What was his excuse this time?
J: He said that he'd dislocated his elbow playing football 2 days after he'd seen me and that he'd been in hospital and rehab and couldn't text or phone!
D: 'Pathetic’ is the only word that comes to mind -they never cease to amaze me. The funniest thing of all is that they seem to have all attended the same school of bullshit.
J: oh how funny - I like the idea that men have to go to school somewhere to learn how to be an arsehole - god knows they don't start out that way. I think Chris must have gone to the same school as well and they all got top marks but none of them graduated with honours!

Mandy: c'mn Grim we're going up to look down the top of the mine shaft where the secret of the universe is going to be revealed
Grim: err...I'm not sure that's such a good idea. The secret of the universe was never meant to be revealed to mortal man......
Billy: why not?
Grim: because you'll do something stupid with it

oops...it's getting worse!

view from my balcony Feb 2009

'you're building a volcano mum!'
'hey, it's supposed to be a snowman...'
'haha trust me it looks more like a volcano!'
'is everyone a critic?'
'well it's an awesome volcano'
'thanks darling'

handbags and gladrags...

F: so did you manage to break up with your counsellor this morning?
J: well not exactly
F: why what happened?
J: well I said I didn't really want to go anymore and she asked why not so I told her that I was bored to death with talking about myself
F: ok
J: but then she said that boredom isn't about being bored and that it was interesting that I was bored and that we should explore that further!
F: that's hilarious!
J: I know! We did have an interesting discussion about a dream I had last night though
F: really? what was it about?
J: well apparently handbags in women's dreams are very significant
F: why is that?
J: because women carry everything in their handbags so in a dream it represents....
F: their whole life?
J: exactly.
F: so what happened to your handbag in your dream?
J: I left it in a bar!

J: I've got to see my counsellor tomorrow and I've decided to tell her that I don't want to see her any more...
F: Really?
J: Yeah...I'm going to tell her that it's not her, it's me - I'm the one who's changed
F: haha that's probably the kindest thing... why have you decided to do that?
J: to be perfectly honest I can't stand talking about myself any more - turns out I'm not half as interesting as I thought I was!
F: well I could have told you that!
