I just listened to some Icona Pop. So ashamed.
But I don't care.

What's everyone up to right now?

I love it.

This is more of an update of what I was up to yesterday, really, so already I'm violating the premise of the thread.
About 9:10 am I had to attend an interview with my Social Security advisor, Claire. For those not in the know, I've been determined as medically unfit for work due to severe suicidal depression, but I am occasionally interviewed so as to be assessed as to the level of financial etc support I require. Yesterday was rather a bad to day as it was to begin with, what with Valentine's shit plastered everywhere and the town being so crowded at that time of day (I had to meet Shell from work in Birmingham one day last week, and while waiting I felt so hemmed in and under threat I had a panic attack, though I tried desperately to contain it; I don't like to bother people). The day was soon to get a good deal worse. Claire came over from her desk, took one look at me and said basically "I can see there's no way you're ready even to look for work". Anyway, we went to her desk and got talking. Well she did - I was more concerned with making myself as small as possible. Then somehow, the talk came round to the flat and how Sam and I had made it our home, to which Claire asked "Is Sam your friend?" So I had to go over what happened from the beginning, reliving it all over again. Fuck only knows whether I was making any kind of coherent sense, but she was genuinely affected and sympathetic, asking questions where appropriate. As for me, well I'm afraid I couldn't help it and just broke down and bawled my eyes out in the office, trying manfully not to of course. I don't care how soppy that sounds to some, it's something that I still feel so very very deeply even now. We talked for over an hour before I had to let her see her next client (makes her sound like a lady of negotiable affection, doesn't it?). Late, still feeling like a piece of unwanted shit, I went to meet Shell from work and went back to her place. I declined staying the night (on the damn sofa) because, though she did her best to bring me out of myself, semi-successfully, I still felt like I was a million miles from home in a world I didn't recognise and couldn't connect with. Anyway, that was yesterday. Been playing Zelda OoT and GoldenEye on our recently-rediscovered N64 for the first time in what seems like forever. As for right now, just polished off a meal of baked beans and sweetcorn on Tigerbread toast. Probably best if I sleep on the balcony tinight.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
^MMM baked beans and sweetcorn!
*hug
I think not working is probably hurting you more, since you are not distracted or meeting new folks. Then again, I could be wrong. I just hope you recover. Muah!

I just finished having my hair twisted
Enjoyed a lunch of queso fundido con championes and costillas de puerco with a pina colada.
...so sue me. I like pina coladas - and getting caught in the rain.
I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon and cut through all this red tape, at a bar called O'Malleys where we'll plan our escape.
Oh no hang on, I've got Shell coming over. Sorry.
