Out Of My Tree

I totally and completely screwed up today.

I accidentally republished all aof my old Camel posts on Out of My Tree by not paying attetion to what I was doing.  I was supposed to be reinstalling Camel as a complete blog on my own Hosting site so that those who want to could read it without having to go all the way to Wordpress.com.

As a result of my numbskullery there was a rush of well over a hundred Tweets in less than a minute… which as you imagine was horrendous for anyone who subscribed to my Twitterfeed.  And for anyone who subscribes to my Facebook statuses as they all would have drifted over there.

I am, well, a fucking idiot.  This is exactly the kind of thing that I try to avoid doing as I don’t want to annoy anyone online, as they are… to be honest, the only ones I feel like I can communicate with as they don’t have to look into my eyes and see the self pitying crap that is there most of the time.

And today started off so bloody well.  My iPod didn’t hate me today playing lots of Jason Mraz and I saw someone who always makes me laugh on the bus into work.  Work was fun today – busy and hectic, but fun.  It was almost montage-y in it’s lightness. I mean, we were all seriously getting on with work but… in a upbeat way.

I felt connected to the physical world in a way I haven’t for a long time… and it scares the ever living crap out of me.

I have been smiling a lot recently.  People around me smile back.  But the smile on my face is a borrowed emotion from books, music, films and the fantasies in my head.  My mask is firmly back on. There is a storm gathering in my head and I’m not sure how much longer I can avoid it.

Is Saturday.  I lazy.

This make me giggle like a fish… if fish could giggle.

Yes.  I know you have seen it before.

Why on earth couldn’t this happen last November?  Huh?

I am averaging 4000 words a day at the moment which is, for me, phenomenal!  Yes, I am bursting all over with creativity.  And it feels good.

I have, however, realsied, that my Christmas theme is still up and apologise wholeheartedly for this.  I will sort it out… erm… tomorrow?!

Ooo, but that reminds me.  I found a song which I love.  Played abusively loud.

I hate it when they disable embedding…

It really kicks off my day well… and I’m going to find some way of getting it into the Scout AGM (Only 4 and a half months to go!)

They’ve chosen the new Doctor Who.

Days ago.

Have I mentioned I am a little behind in my reading on online-ness?

Anywho…

This is he.

Matt Smith, 11th Doctor Who

And in case you were wondering who he is, the BBC has answered the question here.

Still don’t know who he is?  Me neither.  But we have David Tennant for 2009 and then the new boy (I say boy because at 26 he will be the youngest Doctor so far) takes over in 2010.

Well, he’s certainly got the hair for it!

Hmmm, yes, so I am a little weak.

Finished work and had a whole something or another going on in my head and I really didn’t want to go home.

There were two choices… drinking which would have been stupid) or cinema…

Yes, I went to see Twilight again.

I almost feel, at this point, like I should apologise or something – don’t know why… but sorry.

It was odd though.  I chose it because I wasn’t in the mood for Australia and there was nothing else on that appealed… and because I assumed that the showing would be empty leaving me in film watching heaven… but no.  The last time I went was the day after it came out and the screen had barely anyone in it.

This time, however, it was about 2/3rds full of… well, who is the worst type of people to go and sit in a cinema with?

That’s right.  teenage girls.

Loads of them.  That I swear giggled or screamed every time Rob ‘OMG he’s like so fit’ Pattinson came on the screen. And when the kissing scene was on I honestly though the group in front if me were going to spontaneously combust.

The weird thing, though, was that it didn’t piss me off like usual.  Instead I found it amusing, and it actually increased my enjoyment of the film.  Odd.

But the next time I see it will be on DVD.  Probably.  Unless I get bored again…

And just for you girls, in case you end up here on a Pattinson smile hunt, a picture to remind you of the moment just before you all started fainting…

and just because I find it funny…

The bored and tired bit between Christmas and New Year is here and news stories come out which both horrify and amaze in their stupidity.  Some, I am convinced are jokes put out there to see if people are paying attention.

Like this.  The Culture ‘ who like a good scaremonger’ Secretary, Mr Mark ‘I have no idea about anything and was given this job because I can lick boots with the best of them’  Burnham is proposing putting age restrictions on websites that have harmful or offensive material on it, and as a father of three believes that ISPs should provide child friendly web-access.

Not the parents.  No.  TheISPs.  The government can control it better than you can. Because we can not in any way trust parents to look out for their kids.  No.  The ISPs should be in control of what their kids see.  It’s only a matter of time before a government monkey will be round to tuck the kids up in bed for you becasue you cannot be trusted to know what is right.

Say it with me… Muppet.

This from a party who’s own damn website needs help. 

So, it may be time to check my own rating again.  Nad after a long long long search I found the damn page and….

So I hope you all brought a responsible adult with you!

One of our Beaver Leaders left today.  It got a bit emotional as he is a very popular member of our group.  I had to make a farewell speech following one of the assistant beaver leaders.  She was organised and had hers all written down; I was unorganised and high on cough syrup and large amounts of caffeine so you can imagine the rambling rubbish that came out of me!)

Today, thought, I spent some time in Harbl’s coffee shop and , yes, cybercafe in Preston.  It’s a little place that seems to be mostly visited by students and the Bohemian element but it was opposite the bus stop, round the corner from work and laptop friendly…  And I had to get the presentation material ready for the leaving.

The coffee was magnificent, being exactly the right level of strong and tasty to keep me going until, well, my battery died (yes, I am the idiot who forgot to charge laptop) and the staff and other customers were friendly without being obtrusive – and there was nice art on the walls.  Found my ‘other side of Preston’ coffee shop finally!  But I will never understand why the name!

I have spent the last two days screaming at my internet connection.  It no longer seems to like me.  I have been nothing but lovely to it, dusting my wireless box of joy and placing it on a new mat so it would no longer get knocked off.

I’m fairly certain it is my wireless box that is causing the hassle.

This is all just to give you some reason why the daily posts are coming in clumps.

I will be posting the last two days worth when I get home from work.  One of which includes more gifts of the day than you can shake a stick at.

Finally it has arrived.  The week in which the very cool thing that I have been waiting for, yes,  only two months (but it feels like an eternity).  Twilight is finally being released in the UK on Friday.  And I have the plan to end all plans to see it on Saturday.

Everyone in the house is sick with the cough sore throat fluey thing which has been smacking everyone around.  I refuse refuse refuse to get it.  Do you hear me?  No getting sick for me this Christmas!

Not you guys.  My wi-fi connection.

It has done bad things to my blood pressure.

Not having a good day.
