I'm feeling a bit better..

[lemonbella]

As I'm sure you will all be pleased to know, hanging on to ever word I utter about my mental state.

I have received info from the OU about my postgraduate research course, which has buoyed my spirits a little. It is research methods which is something I deliberately avoided whilst doing my MA but also something that I really should have. Plus a major part is to design a research proposal for a PhD - which I already have done and finished. At least it may prevent my brain from dribbling out of my ears.

I am prepared for the Wedding From Hell: (it's been upgraded) I have a stupid pashmina; I have stupid shoes; I have a stupid dress; I have a fantastic purple bra and knickers; I have re-printed the reading I am doing, so the punctuation is correct; I have prepared a myriad of ways to say: "Yes I am single, and happy with it, even though you obviously think it is a sign of failure; I have a selection of pornographic thoughts to occupy myself with during the service and speeches.

I go away to Cornwall for a few days after that, and I am nearly all packed. I also have a notebook of things to finish writing whilst I'm away, and two Smallville tapes so I can escape reality and complete the GSA before Season Four starts.

I have Things To Do. Life is much better when there are Things To Do.

Remember, no drooling or giggling in the aisles!

That's good to hear. The 'single speech' is such a pain isn't it. Almost all of my friends have paired off now, so I'm something of a social leper apparently.

I've decided that I'm only going to date pirates from now on anyway...

Hee!

That's a fantastic idea. Can I use that the next time I'm asked about my single status?

It should shut people up fairly quickly, anyway.

I have a nasty tendency to occasionally make up comedic and/or fakely dramatic reasons "I don't *sniff* don't want to talk about it..." or ""I tried guys and they were so unsatisfying, but I've just bought this new thing..." That way people very quickly stop asking.

You just made me do a comedy water spurt all over my desk. Luckily I narrowly avoided the keyboard.

I have this image of you running after them shouting "it's got several settings..."

The best part involves just casually reaching into your bag during the conversation...

Somehow it's better to be single because you can't find any pirates than for any emotionally distressing reasons...
