Risky Business

Loving anyone is risky
Loving someone an awful lot is awfully risky – it leaves your heart unprotected and vulnerable and sometimes it gets unintentionally crushed by the slightest of slights
Loving anyone is joyful
Loving someone an awesome amount is awesomely joyful – it fills your heart up and just a smile can light up your whole day
We make our choices - we know the risks, we know the rewards.

R says (15:35):
wat r u doing
J says (15:36):
I'm at home today got snowed in and couldn't make it in to work.
I just went out to supermarket and was driving along and a mouse ran up my arm! Most perturbing! It must have got in my car to get out of the snow. I couldn't stop straight away as roads were so bad so it went and sat by the speedometer and sat washing itself whilst I drove - it was hilarious
R says (15:40):
i want to fuck u
J says (15:40):
oh...you don't want to hear my amusing anecdotes then?

footnote 'R' is an ex who J hasn't seen in more than a year

loved this film!

Safari parked

J: wow that lion is so close, isn't it beautiful. Can you get a photo.
Zach: oh it's moving
J: OH BLOODY HELL!
Zach: Mum! You said a rude word!
J: Oh sorry Zach but that was a bit scary. Hey - how come you're more shocked by me saying a rude word than you are by a great, big lion nearly landing on the car?!!
Zach: because the lion was doing what I expected it to do but you didn't!

Undisclosed desires

I elongated my way home...

I ain't fraid of no ghosts..

Zach: mum?
J: yes honey?
Zach: dad said that you didn't used to drive when he first met you
J: yes that right I didn't learn to drive until a few years before you were born
Zach: he said it was because your mum was killed in a car accident when you were young and that made you scared
J: well, yes I suppose that's true
Zach: really? I can't imagine you being scared of anything!
J thinks: bloody hell - I thought I was scared of everything...
