DOUG, I'm so tired. Deep in the marrow of my bones tired and it takes so little loss of sleep these days to do this to me. I want to be doing Honours already. Honours is the promised land. Somehow, when I'm doing Honours, everything will be OK, and managable. And interesting.

I want a rest. I want a pause button. Save game and quit. Sound familiar? Stop this whirligig of fun, I'm dizzy.

Fuuuuuuuuck! They're at it again! The sodding motherless bastards (that makes them orphans, yes, but this does not mean they get any sympathy from me) next door are having some sort of flaming recovery bash on their back lawn, which means they're going to be lambasting us poor drones in the Mothership with badly-covered booner crap all afternoon, drinking bad beer (and worse beer) and at some stage around 4:30 some total tosser with soggy Weetbix for brains is going to fire up his ute and do donuts on the basketball court vainly installed to prevent that sort of dimwitted behaviour.

That (she points to her right, from whence come the decomposing sounds of a garage band murdering something that might be recognisable music, backed up by a garbled chorus of a drinking song) is what happens when cousins fraternise. Hand me my grenade launcher.

Addendum to the above: now they're slaughtering 'Blister in the Sun'. A quick death is too good for them. If you need me, I'll be smuggling in rare and painful poisons. I can keep them alive for days, if I need to...

Want to be zany like Dee? Sing along to Metallica with a Scottish accent. Experiment with other bands and accents. Lisps are also fun.

The only good part of a survey I found, hence the only bit I'm answering:

Have you ever:
...kissed your cousin: Kiss as in the more down-n-dirty sense, I'm guessing. No. But I certainly considered it.
...pictured your crush naked: No. I was a dear sweet innocent girl back when they were crushes.
...actually seen your crush naked: Not while he was still a 'crush'.
...broken someone's heart: I don't think so. I could be mistaken, but I'd tend to think that any claimants to this title would be mistaken; your heart's only mildly sprained.
...been in love: Silly question. Of course yes.
...wanted someone you knew you couldn't have: Laughter. Oh hell yes. Just because I'm practically an old married woman doesn't stop me coveting my neighbour's arse.
...broken a bone: Nope. Little miss careful, me.
...drank alcohol: Riotous laughter ensues.
...lied: More laughter. Lots more laughter. I think I'm about to fall out of my chair.
...cried in school: Yes. The situation was so silly it boggles me now, but I couldn't help it at the time. You know how it is.

The 'points' thing has been changed to a more generic 'quick guide', which is a sort of glossary of things I say that aren't immediately explicable, and people I babble about a lot. If you can think of anything else I should add to it, let me know.

Oh my DOUG, I'm actually solvent again. All hail the tax office.

Long discussions with Je (Gee, it's good to have her back. A real, solid, amazing connection I find myself increasingly reluctant to leave in any way.) regarding the Illuminati card game, which completely hi-jacks my attention and looks so amazing. Two cups of tea when I had never tried the stuff before (I'm still not sure about it, but I wan't sure about coffee to begin with, either) and now I'm dizzy.

Oooh... look at the pretty birdies.

Possibly not the best way to walk (stagger) off to do my hideously belated international relations theory reading. Considering I have difficulty understanding the concepts at the best of times.

More later, when the damn keys stop moving.

Oh yeah, by the way, I'm no longer alone in my domain. Hamilton finally gave into my blandishments and was lured into this iniquitous den of sin. Or something. Go visit him because he has style. I wouldn't let him in if he didn't, now would I?

Mood swings. So that's what they feel like. Just about bawling because someone sprayed a bit of beer at me. Granted, it was VB, but still... don't you think that's a bit of an overreaction, Dee?

Too tired to function in polite society. Or impolite society. Drained and at the end of my tether.

I had my first "Please, I have to get out of here" feeling this afternoon. A force so strong I just about turned and walked straight out of the college. Instead, I just sat still, stared into nothing, thought of people I could live with next year because I didn't want to live with people from college because that would still be too much of a connection to this place.

Coming down off the mood swing, I laughed as I wondered if Shauny would take me in if I showed up on her doorstep and made puppy-dog eyes.

And then laughed even more at the thoughts of nicking off with the bar takings from last night and showing up on Megsy's doorstep.

So I'm back to normal now. But there's still lingering traces of my slip in the back of my brain, pondering whether getting the hell out of Dodge might not be a nice, fluffy idea.

I'm sorry, due to fuckwits, morons and rum and coke, we are currently all out of happy, laid-back Dee. We expect to receive more within the week, but make no promises. In the meantime, why don't you try some of our cynical, growling, bitchy Dee? Full of pissed-off goodness!

(It was hell. It was late. People are stupid. I have to work now. End transmission.)
