Commies' Lounge: They think they've rescued me... little do they know they have a dodgy clone on their hands... who'd have thought you could get this much fun out of not posting at all?
Well, the Road Trip thread attracted some attention all right, it's been (provisionally?) declared subject to the five-posts-a-day rule, along with the Check-In thread. Although the jackbooting attitude is probably more down to people's antics in the Word Association et al than the G'Opher's misadventures, it's still an irritation. I've never had to try and keep track of my post count before now.
Ulva's a sweet girl and I love her already, but someone needs to tell her we already have one Enterpriser...

Just came back from the supermarket, where the usual Bank Holiday weekend siege mentality was running rampant. I found myself having to fight down the urge to smash someone's face in with my shopping basket - perhaps that's why Asda use plastic ones.
I thought about coming here and writing down the exact reasons why I'm so pissed off and bitter right now. But the people who care already know and the person who caused it doesn't care, so why embarrass myself further?
So here's what I was listening to on my personal CD player in Asda - rarely has a lyric fitted the mood of the moment so well...
Running Gun Blues (David Bowie)
I count the corpses on my left, I find I'm not so tidy
So I better get away, better make it today
I've cut twenty-three down since Friday
But I can't control it, my face is drawn
My instinct still emotes it
I slash them cold, I kill them dead
I broke the gooks, I cracked their heads
I'll bomb them out from under the beds
But now I've got the running gun blues
It seems the peacefuls stopped the war
Left generals squashed and stifled
But I'll slip out again tonight
Cause they haven't taken back my rifle
For I promote oblivion
And I'll plug a few civilians
I'll slash them cold, I'll kill them dead
I'll break them gooks, I'll crack their heads
I'll slice them till they're running red
But now I've got the running gun blues
I'll slash them cold, I'll kill them dead
I'll break them gooks, I'll crack their heads
I'll slice them till they're running red
But now I've got the running gun blues
Almost forgot... a very amusing moment in the hardware store when I asked the clerk whether the hacksaw I was buying would cut through bone OK - I actually want to know because I'm going to start cutting and carving dogtags/earrings etc out of the remains of Spike's marrowbones, but he looked at me like I was Hannibal Lecter...

This is one that both Hunty and I got from Auri...
eXpressive: 6/10

Giver: 10/10
You are a XPYG--Expressive Practical Physical Giver. This makes you a Roving Spouse.
You are magnetic, charming, and impossible to resist. You have no problem with approaching the opposite sex -- it just comes naturally to you, and the thrill of warming up a stranger is one of your great drives. Still, very few people really know you. You don't just *feel* misunderstood -- you are. You are probably nursing a heartache that you never let on.
You're calm in a conflict (almost *too* calm -- a more emotional partner may wonder why you're not more engaged) and quick with affection. Fighting makes you uncomfortable, but as you avoid direct conflict your frustrations can manifest in the cold shoulder and passive-aggression, which is no better! Still, you make a loving, doting parent -- giving more love than discipline -- and your children prefer you.
Like an XSYG, you put so much thought and effort in what you give to your partner that you feel dismissed and unappreciated if you don't get the same in return. You also give and think so much that you can also talk yourself into cheating -- physically or emotionally -- and this can lead a cycle of conflict, guilt, conflict-avoidance, chilly atmosphere and then more cheating. But you'll stay with your partner in the long run from guilt and a desire to please.
You've got to open up! You express and give so much of yourself in other ways -- don't be afraid to express what's bothering you.
I'm only being so hard on you because you remind me of me.

Hmmm..... Auri and I got the same result - interesting...
