After my afternoon shift yesterday, getting of the M2, the bus driver smailed at told me to ‘take care’. I have no idea what that was all about. Yes, I’ve seen him before but… It confused me.

In his book ‘No Plot, No Problem’, Crist Batty mentions fear as being one of the greatest incentioves to write. He suggestes that in order to reach the 50,000 word goal of NaNoWriMo you should brag to everyone you ever come into contact with that you’re not only going to reach said goal but exceed it, publish the result and make a fortune. I haven’t exactly quite done that but… I mentioned to someone who works at the school that I was a writer, and she obviously mentioned it to some of the other teachers so they keep asking me about it and now I have ‘the fear’ – ie I’m going to look really silly if my name doesn’t appear in print somewhere soon.

There was this guy on the bus this morning, he was quite tall and chunky and had slioghtly curly sandy hair and glasses and a neatly kept beard. He was about 10 years older than me, but he was really cute [are my tastes changing? Nah, probably just the 5 year itch thingy]. I really wish I could find some way to put him in a story. He was wearing this green hoodie thing and had a brown messenger bag. If I had to write a resume/ classified ad for him it would probably read: ‘After my I’ve finished my work as an environmental protection/ animal rights advocate, I like to hang out in coffee shops with my friends and listen to beat poetry recitals.’ He’d make a good object of affection in a romantic comedy. It’s just a pity I’m not funny unless I’m stoned, and I can’t write romace worth a damn…

I should call my dad somewhen, or go see my parents. Greg and I were talking about famillial relationships yesterday and it’s made me miss my dad… Maybe I should get him to proofread something as an excuse for communication…

I really need to start selling some of this crap I have laying around. I just need to take pics of it then I can put it up on e-bay.

I’m hungry

I should email DDT and Manga Kelly and probably ryan. I haven’t spoken to any of them for ages.

really hungry now.
