Welcome to the 10th Anniversary of my 21st Birthday!

There shall be no celebrities or exotic dancers.

(edit - actually, I do want exotic dancers!!)

I now have the following website addresses to access this site:

http://onebeforeunlucky.blogspot.com

http://1b4unlucky.blogspot.com

I thought it might make it a bit easier to use than the address which presently contains 45 characters.

I don't know why I hadn't thought of this before!!
 

Mental note to self...

Do not wear a red tie on Valentines Day, it only causes trouble.

On five seperate occasions I was asked - "Did you wear that red tie for Valentines Day??"

Damn, it was the first one I pulled out of the wardrobe & I did not exercise a single brain cell in it's choosing!

I caught up with a friend for lunch last week whom I hadn't seen since the day of my 28th birthday. I actually thought she was living in another state, but after a phone call (which was long overdue), we were both staggered to find we worked directly across the road from one another!

In a separate, same-day incident, I sent a birthday message to another friend I hadn't been in contact with for around 3 years. I received a message in response asking if I had been having lunch with anyone that day & that they had spotted me with someone. Of course, they were correct.

The odds of them spotting me on the same day I happen to send them a message after three years are pretty remote. The fact it was also their 28th birthday makes it more than a little bit spooky. Since both of them work for a Government department, they quite possibly work in the same building & I'll find that out in due course.

Maybe I just read too much into this type of thing!!

Okay, so what's all this Maintenance crap that I've had going on here?

Good question, I'm glad you asked!

Well, to some extent, it is correct. I've been slaving away, trying to revamp the site & make it look half-decent again, which as I have found is not easy if you haven't messed with html for a couple of years. Yes, that bloody stripe has been lining the page for the best part of two whole years. (lining the page... did ya get it?.... Never mind!)

I'm also thinking of making the url a little easier by using a blogspot address. Sure, it'll have a Blogger banner at the top, but I read quite a few blogspot blogs & never actually notice it. A while back I had someone imitating me by using a blogspot site name & posting some very dodgy comments. To stop the abuse, I commandeered the url & now I'm thinking I may as well use it!

But the real reason for ripping the site down for a while was a couple of visitors which did a very thorough search through the archives on two separate occasions. Spending an hour or so flipping through each & every page is more than a little suspect. I had an idea of who it may have been, but if it was them, they aren't letting on. I don't mind people going through my dirty laundry, but geez, at least leave a comment or flick me an email. I don't think that's too much to ask!

I had a meeting today with a guy who looked remarkably like Paul Dempsey from Something For Kate.

It wasn't until he stood up that I realised he must have been the "Mini Me" version of Paul.

Not unlike the performer, he was a nice guy who claimed he worked for a division of Telstra. Since I had already been dealing with someone from the company, I was confused why they didn't seem to know each other.

A little bit of research & I find Mini PD is actually a bit of a schiester, working for a completely different company & being very dodgy. Good enough in fact to con a colleague I used to work with at another business.

Makes me wonder how well the real PD would do selling telecommunications products!!

I had a girl behind me this morning driving a small car with very little nose on it. This meant that when ever we stopped at traffic lights she could drive right up close & since I too drive a hatchback, the physical presence between her & myself was probably less than a couple of metres.

Raising my head to look at the rear view mirror startled me the first time around because she was so close to the back of my car & inherently her head was so big.

It started to make me feel a bit uncomfortable, a bit like being in a crowded elevator with a team of cheerleaders & not knowing where to look. In this case I could feel her eyes staring back in the mirror & I had the odd thought about maybe smiling & waving to ease the situation.

Eventually, after menacing my bumper for a few more kilometres, she sped off recklessly & I once again had my personal space restored.

My car is my domain & not being a morning person means the space inside my car is a cocoon to prevent my wrath from affecting those around me. Bus drivers are exempt from this clause, since they sit up too high to get a good look through the rear window, but little cars & vans where the driver gets a prime viewing platform for anything sitting on my back seat is bordering on trespassing!

I suppose that is as close to a musician as this quiz is capable of!!

For this quiz I thank Claire who thanks Lauren, who probably thanks someone else!

 

I discovered during the week that it is indeed possible to bruise your tongue!

After sucking on a oddfellow peppermint (obviously harder than realised!) & later on feeling something was a bit different, I've looked at my tongue in the mirror. A purple "V" was firmly inscribed into the depths of my tongue, somewhat like it had been tattooed on!

It's taken a couple of days to fade completely, but who would have thought it was even possible to give your own tongue a hickey?!
