Blogging – how not to do it.

I ache – in some ways I think its a good ache. Its muscular, I know that for a fact and given the locations of the muscles that ache I’m guessing it may be related to some action with Kai a couple of days ago….

I’m also tired today, I have no idea why. I’ve been dopey all day today because of it, mind wandering off at tangents when I’m supposed to be looking at 100 line sql queries, and no thats not normal – well not for me anyway. My humour hasn’t suffered at least, still managed to get some witticisms into various conversations but energywise, I feel drained. This irritated me at lunch time especially as I had hoped to go out for a walk in order to see if it would help with general acheyness. Oh well, we’ll see how things go tomorrow on that one.

Kai had our friend T over today for company, they gossiped, shopped, debated, explained, knitted and drank tea lots. This is good, I generally think that Kai needs more female friends, ones she’s comfortable to hang out with and do girly things, I’m not saying I don’t appreciate my feminine side but frankly a bloke is no substitute for a woman….I suspect many of my hetro and even some of my bi male friends would agree. So yeah, Kai was in a good mood today, our friend T is in a good mood today too, tho not just because of Kai’s efforts, I know some of the details but it’s not my place to share or advertise. Just slightly out of context though as a private in-joke between me and her….

tell me T. Will you get bored as I suggested or will it last as long as your suggestion?

In other news it’s a suit and tie job for me tomorrow – won’t discuss why but for me it’s a rarity these days, so I have some ironing and stuff to do tonight, and WoW guild stuff too and we have to watch Pan’s Labyrinth at some point. Oh! and we (Kai and I) have a date at the local Beer Festival near our house soon too (we found a friend who has volunteered to childmind for us) -woot real ale and cider!

As some of you know I do go through bouts of low self-esteem in regards to my appearance – the root cause of this is linked to one of my ex’s and to some lesser degree my parents. Which means I’m trying to better myself physically. As a result I am back on my diet, I’ve gone out and bought some of that nasty tasting nail varnish stuff (I really loathe the fact that I bite my nails for next to no reason) and now I’m trying to work up the will to re-join the gym. We’ll see how I get on. Kai is her usualy supportive self through this, which I appreciate and am very thankful for but still, I do wonder what she see’s in me (physically, that is) sometimes. Oh and I also reckon I really need a haircut again.

Well, actually no I don’t, but it got your attention. I have on occasion thought about getting a tattoo but my problem is, like some of my peers, I’d get bored of it eventually and want to change it.  Those of you that do know me, know I do play around with chaotic Tribal (admittedly I have scanned and touched this one up a tad) designs (chaotic in that I put pen to paper and just go where the moment takes me and only remove the pen from the paper when the line finishes where I started) – often they are similar but I don’t think I’ve ever managed 2 the same. I reckon something like that would be rather nifty- maybe not original – tribal tattoos being an ‘in’ thing for some time now, but still I reckon it may well be pretty kewl.  Alternatively doing one wingshaped design then mirroring the image to make a pair of tribal demonic wings for my back!

The whole tattoo thing has always intrigued me, why people get themselves inked, what they get done and where. From the completely Freudian examples (not work safe or for the easily offended) to the usual fantasy art ones. Is it wrong that I can extraploate a coresponding male design incorporating a face from that explicit one ? Hmmmm…. in any case answers on a postcard.

I do know some people who do have the whole angel wings thang on their back and it does look rather fetching, my partner, Kai has a Bio-Warning tattoo on her lower back, if you get her in her corset and pvc jeans you’ll see it – if you can take your eyes off her that is.

Her brother has some truely nice bits of artwork on his arms and legs, such as flames ecompassing his lower leg, the skin peeled back on his arm to reveal bicep and tricep muscles and some meshed gears too. Not to mention an interesting piercing which he’s happy to show even if you don’t ask – (I hear some ladies like that sort of thing). Even my sister has had some inking done – very minor bits to be fair though.

Then again I love the idea of getting my arms done with an ultraviolet tattoo. For my style of designs that may not only look excellent but would also completely rock! Now I just need to do a few bank jobs to afford it….

What are your opinions on body art – piercings, tattoos, etc.

Yeesh, 3 weeks into the month already? Time certainly has flown, probably first class and joined the mile high club.

So what have I been upto? Thats a very good question. Work would be my first answer but thats only a partial answer to be honest. I have been running my NWOD game for friends – they seem to be enjoying it now we’re finally hitting into the supernatural bit. Judder was enjoyable, I didn’t drink much this time but I spent most of the night chatting and mingling with our new friends down here. We had T’s birthday BBQ as well which was all well and good – much meat was had by many. Oh yeah I went to Cornwall for an overnight thing – drove far too fast but overall it was good and we didn’t get pulled over which is a bonus. We went on an aftrernoon drive into Oxfordshire which was good too – Kai got to see and take piccies of Dragonflies.

In a slightly sadder piece of news my sister’s boyfriend has just been diagnosed with a very arre form of cancer, the poor kid just turned 23 and whilst he’s fighting it, it doesn’t sound good. Needless to say my family are most distraught by the whole series of events. My sis has been biting people’s heads off but heck, she’s afraid so I can understand that. Down here we feel pretty helpless about it all, there is just so little we can do and that just sucks.

As a final note Kai has re-taken up knitting, her guitar stuff and various other crafts and is now teaching some of our friends in these things, which has made her a bit happier, the downer is that she has ahd another cyst – we think, and as such is in a tremendous amount of pain again. :s

Thats about it on the rollercoaster of my life for the moment. Not much to cover 3 months I know but with all thats gone on I’m not sure what more to say.
