Safe Haven

3:25pm: Does anyone still use these journals? It looks as if they are getting quieter and quieter.

I know many people disapprove and dislike LJ but there is a reason for being there.

Hey ho.

10:34pm: I wonder if Dreamwidth will go the way of Insane?

Only time will tell I guess...

10:31pm: End of the holiday
I have to go back to work and then back home tomorrow. I've been with dad for ten days. He is going to really miss me and so is Bert. I feel terrible. I don't want to leave him. So here I sit, crying buckets and it's pathetic. My dad is 78, he shouldn't have all this shit in his life. I wish I wish I wish...

If only eh? If only.

1:09pm: Today ...
Is mum's 77th birthday. The fourth birthday without her.

So today, I decided, despite the fact that many of my regular readers won't approve, I am going to write another Viggorli. Thing is, I tried bandom and I will dabble a little and prolly enjoy but ultimately I am a LoTrips girl and bollocks lots of people are leaving for other fandoms. I am not a lemming and I write first of all for me.

So I have started. I will write a couple of chapters and see how it goes. It will be a continuation of the Walk On By story. I thought I didn't want to write them any more but I find I do. So *G* I'll see how it goes.

And that is that really. I just thought I would post my thought here.

3:39pm: Today
I am posting this here because as far as I am aware, none of my nearest and dearest will be reading.

I just want to admit that life sucks with much suckyness at the moment and whilst I do my best to pretend that it's all great, in reality it's not. Work is so stressful and I don't know what to do, it's a crap time to look for a job and everything else is also sucking. Home, family, the lot.

Some mornings I wonder how I am going to get out of bed get on with my day.

8:46pm: My last place of refuge to moan...
I've moaned everywhere else.

So right now, at 20:47, on Saturday 12 April, in the year of our lord 2008!

Everything sucks.

It's the anniversary of mum's death on Monday; dad is being utterly lugubrious and he's allowed cos the woman he was married to for just under 3 months shy of 50 years died of the big C, but apparently all is not well with Bert the dog and I feel at the end of my tether with nowhere to go. Work is so awful I can't begin to say and I haven't really talked to anyone about it cos frankly who wants to hear about work dramas that belong to other people? And blah.

Blah blah blah...

I feel really sorry for myself.

Oh and to top it all, I picked up a book today, and the author used the word ... purred ie That's a fucker and no mistake Mary Poppins, purred Brian.

For fuck's sake? PURRED! What a fucking ridiculous word to apply when writing about Elizabethan England!

*sighs and returns to bunker*

8:53am: In the House of Mollies
Title: In the House of Mollies
Author: dalehead
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Orlibean
Summary: In eighteen century London, a male prostitute was often referred to as a molly. These boys often dressed as women and ran a terrible risk in having sex with men as the penalty for sodomy was death by hanging. Mother Clapp’s Molly House is a play by Mark Ravenhill but the eponymous Mother Clapp was a real life person who lived and died many years ago. Please note, this is historically inaccurate but it’s fiction and my artistic licence is in the post!
Disclaimer: This is entirely made up by me for you.
Warning: This might be upsetting to some readers, approach with caution.
Author Notes: I asked you what you wanted and I hope this lives up to expectation. It’s for all the Orlibeaners who replied to my earlier post of the day. Thanks guys, each and everyone of you rock my world.

Disclaimer: This is entirely made up by me for you.
Author Notes: This is for the Orlibean girls cos we were all feeling a bit blue.



"This fucking bastard of a city, 'Lan? Are you there? I was stationary for what? For a few moments, long enough to pick the fucking papers up and when I got back there he was," Sean was stripping his clothes off as he spoke, leaving them strewn over the floor.

( They didn’t use it for food prep but for naked Sean and his naked arse. It was the most used workspace they had )

12:56pm: The reason for my not using this journal so much ...
is cos no one reads over here much.

Its all well and good everyone saying that LJ is this and LJ is that and LJ is very probably the other - btw, I have not said very much about it - but if one comes over here, who is gonna read one's fics?

LJ may die or it may not. I think, you see, that it is prolly a storm in a teacup. At the end of the day, I think people have too much invested in LJ. I am stopping there and keeping this as a back up.

LJ are a business and they're in it to make money. Does altruism exist? I don't know.

However, I did find out something that really shocked me.

There is no maternity leave in the States. I mean paid maternity leave.

I was stunned.

1:20pm: Beauty herein...
Sorry Raha! My boy is prettier than yours *g*

4:41pm: A piece of doggrel by Lottie's dad *g*
Bertie is my doggy chum,
He has a shapely hairy bum,
A lovely cold wet nose
And a tongue which covertly goes
Into lots of filth and muck,
But he doesn't give a doggy fuck!

12:50pm: Reading Festival 2007 (well just Sunday *g*)
Well one day of it.

It was a fabulous day. I must say the pretteh off stage was simply stunning. There were perfectly sculpted abs and those delicious v lines all over the shop. Dear God!!!!

Anyway, I digress.

Best band: Nine Inch Nails. Trent Reznor could teach every one of the young pretenders something about live gigs.

Funniest chat: Ian Watkins (not H from Steps *g*) of Lostprophets. He was very Welsh and he swore more than I do - quite an achievement and he was fucking hilarious!

Almost Funniest Chat and General All Round fabness: Fall Out Boy - The Wentz is a funny guy and Patrick is so sweet that I am keeping him *glares at the interlopers*

Most Disappointing set: The Smashing Pumpkins. I am gutted. I love them nearly more than life itself and more even than MCR and almost more than Duran Duran - but really? Billy? What the FUCK?

We went to hear some lesser known bands - cant remember who - will find out! It was hot and sunny and there were many very smelly people around *g* I have seen 35 hours of live music in the last eight days! Pretty impressive I think *beams*
