How is everyone?
 

I suppose I'm out of hibernation for a while. I just wondered how the regulars are,and what you've been up to?

And, indeed, the 'newbies'?

Hope yer all well. It's bed time for me...

I don't believe we've met.

I'm in a fucking pissy mood right now. I've got so much stuff to do and no where I can do it. I'm ready to take someones head off.

I got a headache 'cause of the stupid pc. but nice. I must to finish a work tonight or I'll kill myself.

Sounds like you need some kind of ventilator...

When your spine is cracking and your hands, they shake,
Heart is bursting and you butt's gonna break.
Your woman's cussing, you can hear her scream,
You feel like murder in the first degree.
Ain't nobody slowing down no way,
Ev'rybody's stepping on their accelerator,
Don't matter where you are,
Ev'rybody's gonna need a ventilator.
When you're trapped and circled with no second chances,
Your code of living is your gun in hand.
We can't be browed by beating, we can't be cowed by words,
Messed by cheating, ain't gonna ever learn.
Ev'rybody walking 'round,
Ev'rybody trying to step on their Creator.
Don't matter where you are, ev'rybody, ev'rybody gonna
Need some kind of ventilator, some kind of ventilator.
What you gonna do about it, what you gonna do?
What you gonna do about it, what you gonna do?
Gonna fight it, gonna fight it?

I'm good

I'm stressed about having to wyrk BLACK FRIDAY tomorrow at the mall, that and some personal problems I don't feel like talking about ar bothering me.

I'm really worried about today cause it's 9am and at 1pm i have a fucking important meeting that I have to organize and conduct. Really really really worried.

I generally become nervous when I have to speak up in front of many people.

Well I've left Slough, so I'm very happy.

Where are you these days?

In the office. Permanently.

ok i guess. on a mission not to spend any money.

I'm happy because I'm going home this weekend, and there's only one more week of term and I can go hom for 6 weeks :D

hey, welcome back-- for a while i thought you were glice-- he denied that-- and now the differences are obvious

so, hello. hibernation good?

i remember last time i heard from you, you were in arizona i think...

Yeah, Phoenix for a while. I'm trying to get back there for a few months early next year...

Good to see you're still on the board! You doing well?

oh yes, thanks. i do miss the east coast though.

so what's in phoenix? a good department/research situation? i remember you were working i think on your doctorate...

Yes, a good creative writing dept at Arizona State. I'm doing my doctorate with a UK university, but plan to travel more to the States as part of my research. Plus I love it. There's that too...

In Phoenix, there's hot weather, good booze, great Mexican food, some casinos. Pretty much everything you need. I just wish more bands had come to Phoenix (hint, hint, AHEMSONICYOUTH!) in their US tours!!!

oh so you're in their creative writing program, or working with them in any capacity? or is this totally unrelated to your research?

i live a few hours away from phoenix by car, but i've never been there-- albuquerque is closer, and so when i need a city fix that's the immediate solution.

fortunately, i'll be back in the east coast for a couple of weeks at the end of the year...
