Bonjourno, it’s been a while. Things have been good on the whole, just muddling along y’know – work, boyfriend, life. Same shit. Except, in the last week there have been a few developments.
Work
Grand Theft Auto, the game we’ve all been working on for what seems like eons now, has a proper, official, set-in-stone not-gonna-change-this-time-honest release date. This is a very exciting prospect and a good motivator for the demoralised in the studio. What is more exciting is that it serendipitously coincides with an impromptu visit to NYC to see air. Beautiful. And very weird to think that one day soon, the game will be public property. Launch party. You’re invited..
Boyfriend
Is coming back from Saudi Arabia. To Scotland. To stay. In our house. For the forseeable. This Saturday. Excitement, joy, disbelief, trepidation. This should be the easier bit, hey? i’m 99% of the first three and 1% of the fourth. He’s a picky, antagonising shite, and i’m a louche, careless batchelorette. Should be a smooth transition, eh?
Life
Is interesting. Various opportunities opening up career-wise for both of us. Al has decided to go to uni part time as he wants to become one of those Air Accident Investigator geezers. Me, i’m waiting to see if my company step up to the plate and start taking me more seriously, financially. If not, having this stuff on my CV is career gold, and someone else will. Al has decided that he wants to study at Kings, London. So I think we might be seeing rather more of the place. Something that makes me very happy indeed.
On the whole, things are lookin up!

Hey – glad things are looking up, so will you be moving to London or just commuting down here?
The update on my life:
Work, boyfriend, life is generally fine. I have been 6-7 months in London now, and have spent on average one weekend a month here. When this happens, I’m usually so glad I have nowhere to go to that I make sure I also have nothing to do. As a result, I hardly know more people than when I first came down and I still don’t know where anything is.
My dad is leading the life of soap-opera character, every week there’s a new twist in the plot – it’s better than any scandal on Eastenders. A life holds few distinctions but I think I can safely boast that my stories about my dad are better than yours.
I am vegetarian again, so far nobody has supported me in this choice, but all are united to take the piss out of my vegan, chemical free toothpaste.
AOB:
I have decided to sell my car because i never use it, because petrol is expensive, because I think the protective spell cast on me is wearing off and I will kill someone, and last but not least because it is bad for the environment.
I have also decided to sell my straighteners because I never use them, because they damage hair and because they are also bad for the environment.

Quick update on my life:
I’m doing alright, girlfriend appears to have lost the plot though.

Quick update on my life: Despite Rico’s assurances that it is all part of the act, I was upset over the mingling that occured between Chachi and several young women after he performed at Al and Louisa’s newly opened restaurant in Chicago.
The band had a big audition for a record producer, but Chachi’s attitude caused me to decide to attend my nephew’s birthday party in Milwaukee instead of singing with the band.

My flatmate Connie and I are running for the charity Africa Now. We will be training at weekends as soon as I stop commuting up and down the country, and in the evenings as soon as it’s light enough not to fear rape on the Heath.

Quick update on my life: the experiments are going well but that muppet Dominic next door keeps asking questions. For the time being he seems satisfied that I review horror films as a hobby. Anyone know where I can get a shedload of egg boxes for the walls?

Nat… I wanted to impress everyone with my life so I thought I’d borrow some details from “Joanie Loves Chachi”. Come on… we’ve all done it haven’t we?

I need people to be cheap so that others don’t feel intimated and forced into sponsoring me loads – you are encouraged to sponsor me between £2 and £5.
Cj I am skint, i have £250 to live on for the rest of the month, so we can go out but only to super cheap places, like the pub we went to with £1.50 pints.

hehe I took Spunky to that pub on Sunday.. in fact I made us walk up and down looking for it because I couldn’t remember the name of it or where it actually was. I had a half pint due to illness-cheap night!
