All Filler, No Killer
2 Oct
- I opened my store yesterday. It’s going well, slow and steady which is fine by me! No one likes peaking too soon!
- I realized when I was in bed last night that I have trouble sleeping if I don’t have Shawn with me. Who is Shawn? He’s a plush prawn I bought in NZ, the day after I found out Miss Jones wasn’t coming back. I bought it because it was cute and I love anything related to shellfish (and how often do you even see a toy prawn??). I fell asleep holding him the first night, and now I get twitchy if he’s not around. I never slept with toys when I was little but in Japan I had my cat pillow that I used to sleep with and now I have also added Shawn into the mix. I wonder how Miss Jones will feel knowing she’s been replaced by a plush crustacean?
- I am in maximum pain today. On Wednesday I went to the Chiro and found out my spine does some serious curving towards the left and my hips are all kinds of messed up, with the left one being turned out and just not good. She reckons it’s not a massive problem and she can work it all out so I end up being straight again (LOLZ!). Anyways, after a good cracking on Wednesday, a fitness test last night (epic fail, you can’t test fitness if it’s non-existent) and bootcamp this morning I am hurting something fierce. My hips are so sore, it’s insane.
- Let me relay a story from the other day. The bit you need to know is that Miss Jones does not brush her hair. I know, I don’t get it either, but she doesn’t and for some reason doesn’t end up looking like she has a bird’s nest on her head so clearly she’s a witch. Anyways, most weekends I used to straighten her hair for her and sometimes she’d even let me comb all the little knots out. Even though I hate long hair on me, I like playing with it. I used to do Jac’s hair sometimes which was fun but Miss Jones was my very own “My Model”. I was chatting to her the other night and she mentioned she was hungry. I told her if she was here I would make her food, which may not sound like much, but coming from me it’s on the same level as offering an donor organ. I asked if she came back, can I straighten her hair and she said yes and I can brush it. Yeah, that story probably blow unless you’re me or Miss Jones, but it was a big deal.
- Yeah, if you hadn’t guessed, I miss her a bit today. I think it’s because I hurt and therefore feel lame and want to hug someone I am used to hugging.
- I have been truly sucked in (no pun intended) to True Blood. I saw a couple of episodes of Season Two on Pay TV so I hired the first 3 discs of Season One. Now I’ve watched them all and I need more! Because I am cheap I’ll have to wait until next Tuesday to see more. Also, I realised it’s been a year since I’ve watched any episodes of The L Word I finished Season Four when I was visiting Japan last year and I’ve never actually had Season Five to watch yet, much less Season Six. I need to get onto this ASAP or they’ll cancel my lesbian membership. This is serious people.
- I want new hair. Tell me what to do! Sugestions/photos/links are welcome. Word of warning, if you put a bunch of links in the comments WordPress will most likely just send it to spam, so only a couple of links per comment just to be safe

How do you mean, you will ahve to wait until next Tuesday to watch more TrueBlood? Can’t you just watch it on surfthechannel.com or somewhere? I read the equivalent books of seasons 1 and 2 recently, weirdly the tv series is actually better.
Anyway.
Why haven’t you posted pictures of Shawn? And it sounds to me like Miss Jones misses you, too. No prizes for guessing that, I know.
I must confess I’m a non hair brusher too.
I don’t actually own a hairbrush. My hair is far too curly for that shit, I end up with a fro.
I’m the same with toys. I think once someone important comes along in your life, and then leaves, there’s always a toy to “replace” them. I have my donkey for when I’m lonely.
@Jay (LOLZ, can you guess who has been on Twitter too much??) I don’t like watching stuff online and I don’t download things. Waiting until Tuesday to hire my DVDs is a lesson in delayed gratification
Pics of Shawn to come.
@Lucy, see, not brushing curly hair makes sense. When mine gets to a certain length and goes wild with curls I can normally get by with a decent finger comb and fluff, but Miss Jones has straight hair
@Kass LOL, it makes me really glad to know I’m not the only one who does this
I am intrigued by the Miss J situation. Or would that be just plain “nosey”?
JT, Never nosey, hit me with with a FB email and I’ll tell you what you wanna know
