Friday!

[yiskah]

It's been a long time since I did this, so I have no idea whether it will still work, but it is FRIDAY and so how about some anonymous comments?

Friends! Let it all out! Share your scandal, your angst, your exciting news! Tell the internet who you fancy! Tell us what you dreamed about last night, what you had for breakfast this morning, what you think of the new coalition Cabinet (if you're British), how sick you are of hearing about the UK election (if you're not).

Please do not be unpleasant about anyone who is likely to read this, or I will magically come through the internet and smack you.

OK GO. Hopefully I will not be left alone with the Japanese spammer...

D'OH! Stupid default settings - hold on a sec...

At work, I seem to have stumbled into a 1930s period drama. I feel like the scullery maid. This too shall pass, right?

[yiskah.livejournal.com]

It shall. Although I quite like the idea of being a scullery maid in a 1930s period drama.

I work for two people, and I am haunted by a horrible suspicion that they both dislike me. It is demotivating.

I am so, so tired. I never stop, and never have any time to myself. I get up before 5 and am on the go constantly until 9/10 PM.

I need a new job but no idea what I am good at. I need a certain salary due to problems that are entirely of my own making.

I want to go to bed for a week but just can't.

Dreadfully self-indulgent to moan- I have a very privileged life.

Po Bronson's What Should I Do With My Life? (http://www.amazon.co.uk/What-Should-Do-My-Life/dp/0099437996) would be a pretty good book for you. The good thing about it is that it doesn't promise any easy answers, but the bad thing is that it doesn't provide any easy answers. It does provide reassurance that you're not being self-indulgent, though.

The new Doctor Who has hair like my dad in the 70s. This is quite wrong.

I'm waiting for my period to arrive and wondering if I could be pregnant. It's about a day later than usual (day 14 of my luteal phase) and I would really like to be, but I don't want to test and be proved wrong!

[(Anonymous)]

I took a test - it's negative.

[(Anonymous)]

I rather fancy Nick Clegg and thought the Cameron / Clegg slash in the Guardian (!) was really quite hot.

[(Anonymous)]

I think I can guess who you are! Hehehehe.

Angst ahead: I broke up with my (ex)girlfriend more than 6 weeks ago, and I'm still sad about it. I feel kind of heartbroken and hurt even though it was me that did it and that probably makes me kind of ridic, right? Sigh : (

I really fucking hate cancer.

(oh HAHA, Recaptcha, give me the word "tissue"!)

[yiskah.livejournal.com]

I am really, really sorry, anon. I am thinking of you (or, erm, I would be if I knew who you were! Obviously!).

Things are actually pretty sweet right now, objectively. But my stupid anxiety has been kicking in big time and I have been having crying fits for weeks and getting too anxious to leave the house or see friends as much as I should. Rubbish!

[(Anonymous)]

I worry about how you're doing miss jess, and whether you're ok with recent events or not.

[yiskah.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't go so far to say that I am OK with recent events, but I am doing OK, which is the main thing, yes? For, erm, some value of 'OK'. Onwards and upwards, though, right? ONWARDS AND UPWARDS.

Thank you anon, I really appreciate your concern. x

I met someone on Monday night that I really fancy, but I'm in a relationship.

Lost ends in a couple of weeks and I am a bit worried that it will be rubbish and, having spent six years following these people on this damn island, there will not be a satisfactory conclusion. I don't so much mind not having answers to the many (many) mysteries, but I would like some of them to have happy endings. Or at least any kind of proper ending.

And what will I watch when it's done?!

I do have other angst I could share, but this seemed a bit lighter and really, my angst is quite boring.

[(Anonymous)]

this I guarentee

It will be better than the end of battlestar galatica.....

Someone will die for that

I am considering a baby.

I had porridge for breakfast.

I am pleased that the people who have come into power have scrapped ID cards and the identity register.

1 right out of 3 isn't bad I suppose ;)

I know this is livejournal and thus I'm probably way way way in the minority but I have to say I find fanfiction pretty damn weird and creepy. Is it supposed to be funny or clever or arousing or what? Every time I scan through one of the stories (like the Cameron Clegg one someone did lately) I find myself getting slightly accidentally turned on too, which makes me hate myself.

[(Anonymous)]

I know what you mean. It only makes sense to me if I have a crush on one or more of the people / characters involved, when it's fun to imagine them doing something sexy. If the lead-up part is badly written or I don't care about the people, it's just creepy. I think in many cases, especially the recent Cameron / Clegg stuff, it's supposed to be creepy, like a cheesy horror film.

I had super sex last night. I thought I'd let you all know as no one has talked about sex here yet and it's anonymous comments so thought I'd be the first.

[(Anonymous)]

I haven't had sex in ages. Rubbish! Half the time I don't think I want to, mind; when I'm actually doing it it seems like the Actual Best Thing Ever but when I'm not it's like I can't even imagine it's possible. I think this frustrates my partner quite a lot.

[(Anonymous)]

I am failing to do my job, and being a poor friend lately. Must do better.

[(Anonymous)]

OH BUGGER, it looks like Labour didn't get around to bringing in the thing where you could transfer 3 months of parental leave to the mother's partner. I was really looking forward to that. BUM.

[yiskah.livejournal.com]

RUBBISH! That would have been an excellent measure.

[(Anonymous)]

I have a horrible feeling I am on the verge of a breakdown and I don't know what to do about it, so I am dealing with it by drinking heavily. None of this is good, particularly since I actually got around to discussing how I feel with my partner last night, but can't remember much of what we discussed. Not helpful. I need a better coping mechanism. And/or a holiday.

[(Anonymous)]

Talk to your partner again. And talk to your friends. Or just one friend. Seriously, even if you don't feel able to talk face to face yet you could say something by email or text. Sometimes it's important to reach out - I bet you'd be there for the people you love and I bet they'll be there for you.

I send you a big internet hug, anon. Everything will be all right. If not now then eventually.

I came out of a long relationship a few months back. Bumped into someone I knew years ago, and we embarked on a "thing" that rapidly became the beginnings of a relationship. She's now had a bit of a minor breakdown, and is embarking on CBT next week (not for the first time, either). From one moment to the next, she swings from wanting to see me, texting/talking about sex, and then to freaking out and saying we can't be together. I've suggested we just put everything on hold while she starts CBT and sees how that goes, and that there's no rush for anything to be "formal". I wonder if she is subconsciously pushing me to freak out and destroy any chance of us being together in the future, so she doesn't need to worry about it.

Anyway, I'm an idiot and poured myself into this right at the start, and am now feeling completely broken and empty. I am approaching 40. Christ.

[yiskah.livejournal.com]

Oh anon, I really feel for you. It sounds like you really need to break off contact for a little while at least, because this must really be messing with your head.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think anyone reads my LJ any more, apart from about four people.

[(Anonymous)]

I feel the same way!

[(Anonymous)]

One of my friends on twitter accidentally tweeted a very sexy message to her partner this morning instead of sending it as a text message - "Can't wait to see you this evening - dreaming of having you inside me" etc. I sniggered. She has now deleted it.

Pahahaha!

I would like to grow my own food. I would also find it deeply satisfying, though somewhat unpleasant, to fertilise it myself.

[(Anonymous)]

You want to crap on your carrots?

sorry, sorry, my resistance is futile when a poor joke's in the neighbourhood.

[(Anonymous)]

Sometimes I wish my friends weren't so smart. I wish we didn't have to talk about politics and culture and feminism and things when we're together. Don't get me wrong, I'm pleased that we can talk about those things, but sometimes I wish we could just mess about and be silly and talk about rubbish. I feel like my sense of humour is atrophying.

[(Anonymous)]

I really miss your writing. I also worry about you, and whether recent quietness is entirely due to busyness, or also stemming from some sadness.

I talk about you quite a lot because I'm so impressed by you and your achievements. We're not even that close and I really hope it doesn't come across as creepy.

[yiskah.livejournal.com]

Aw, thank you for your concern, anon. It's a bit of both - VERY busy, and not particularly inclined to angst online. Plus much of my writing mojo is currently going towards other projects, including a PUBLIC BLOG which I haven't actually told anyone about yet (PUBLIC FAIL) because I'm waiting until it's properly proper.

It doesn't come across as creepy at all, though I am extremely curious about who you are!
