Tonight, driving home, I had the shock of my life! There was a bang & I thought someone was trying to shoot me! But it was a conka from a tree falling & hitting my windscreen...

25th September 2004:

I want to join a choir. I feel I am slowly plucking up the courage to go out there and do something... I mean that it will be a huge step... (I did briefly join a choir in the first year of university and quite enjoyed it but gave it up). I had sung at school and I belter out things in my room at home... It's just so good - it gives me a good feeling - I suppose like that to when people do exercise...

Other news, I might have a new German penpal... It's good because I quite like using my German...

I have eaten too much this evening... I feel sick... Sorry for my absence, I've been busy & been online to yahoogroups. I joined the AlaindeBotton group. - and got quite involved in discussions there... I also joined an architecture group but have had no mails re it yet...

... Just watching Last Night of the Proms on TV... I have been to see the Nation's Favourites once, a few years ago. One day I would like to do Proms in the Park...

4th September 2004:

Arrghh! Simon Cowell! He's so horrible, before he was 'just ok', but now he's gliding on his stardom... he's just so mean - too mean to people now... I just watched him on TV this evening... didn't know he was turning out to be a 'hooray-people-condone my harshness - therefore - I will dish it out all the more' - Or maybe he is just tired of seeing no talent? But it shouldn't be a reason to be so ruthless - more so than before the public took to him.(?)

4th September 2004:

I now have only the third book to read of Philip Pullman's 'His Dark Materials'... After that I might read Salman Rushdie's 'Satanic Verses' - I am not very religious and don't think that it would offend me... I read a balanced reviews at Amazon - it's about time I found out about that book that got banned in my childhood and I had wondered about it... It was first published in 1988 - (and got banned in Islamic countries etc/ death sentence, etc)... Hope I have judged it ok - and it will not take me down a route of influence that if I hadn't read the book, I wouldn't have taken... Anyway, I feel strong now and not a kid and not so easily swayed?

1st September 2004:

I sometimes wonder if it is scary and lonely surfing through the pages of my website... It's cold and unfriendly... I feel...

I have recently watched DVD/ Videos from Blockbuster - 3 for £5 for 7 nights... I watched:
He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not - felt awful as I thought I was like the girl in the film
Le Apartement - this was better - an intriguing film/ would like to think I am an intriguing person - I like how it ended with the girl who had to catch the flight
Lovers of the Artic Circle - I didn't quite understand the two endings... this film will have to gro on me - I didn't really like it.

Hooray, I am going to babble - since everyone who I pester is on holiday and I feel I want to babble... might call a friend - but she is probably busy - has a new boyfriend... - maybe I should get one of those, but I feel it would be like a houseplant and die off from lack of watering - I don't think I would look after it very well...

I have a third more of the book The Subtle Knife to read... will read more tonight...

Actually, will go down and have dinner now... byee...
