A digital misfit

She is a selfish hypocritical woman, and I have no opinion of her

Happily some of the tension I had feared from a conversation on Tuesday night wasn’t present…there was no need for tension in the first place and I was annoyed with myself for letting it get that way…

Today I was struck by a distinct change in clientel at Tescos while I was buying lemsip for the holiday period (to fend off the threatening illness). “I told you it would be cheaper at Wilkinsons”, its not normally like this, I feel most…decadent, with a basket containing things not wrapped in blue and white stripes. Then the guy in front of me at the checkout had done all of his christmas shopping, trying to fit eight huge toy/game boxes into his shopping basket. How had he even managed to get around the store with that much tat? Gods, I hate Christmas…or maybe I hate people.

And now, I curl up in bed with a weak lemony drink and a book about statistics.

Hope you all have a good day tomorrow…

  1. quite weirdly i like shopping for presents. i usually wish i had a bigger budget, but i liek the whole giving presents thing. what i dislike is watching people who are clearly not wanting to be giving presents trying to do their xmas shopping.
    and i _really_ hate the ” they got me X so i need to get something of equal monetary value” thing. and the whole people _expecting_ presents thing.
    mini rant over :)
    have a faboo day yourself, and make sure to get plenty of sleep- its the best way to combat impending illness. well, that and lots of medicine and vitamins and oranges. hmmmmmmmm oranges….
    i shall be watching conan the barbarian, beastmaster and possibly nightmare before xmas. :D and eating my traditional holiday fajitas. hehehe

  2. Maybe there was no /need/ for tension, it just happened. I wasn’t the only source but I know I caused part of it. But once it had happened there wasn’t anything I could do about it without circumstances changing. Which they now have.

  3. Was that a question or a statement? …I’m pleased the tension is reducing (not sure its gone yet), I’m not sure whether I’m pleased circumstances have changed, indeed I’m kinda ambivalent to that.
