09/02/2002: Never sting a biochemist.

[Previous entry: “Answer”] [Main Index] [Next entry: “Katie Stood on the Benches”]

09/02/2002 Archived Entry: “Never sting a biochemist.”

Stinging a biochemist is a bad idea. We get really pissy about being stung. Start thinking about annihilating all examples of a particular species just because we *could*. Yes. Well, I do. Possibly it’s fortunate that I don’t actively practice biochemistry (heh, other people “aren’t practicing christians”, I’m not a practicing biochemist…. ;-)

Anyway, so as you might guess I got stung this weekend. Today actually, by a sodding wasp. At about 4 o’clock….and it’s still stinging and it’s slightly swollen. Not happy. Also worried because my mum is allergic to wasp stings (and there is the possibility that I’ll discover I’m allergic to them next time I’m stung, depending on what my immune system has done this time). Anyway, so, I got stung by this bastard little flying creature, which met an untimely end shortly afterwards. Little sod.

So. that was today. Actually, today was fishing out stuff to go to the tip, and computer stuff to give to our friend the computer collecting bloke….(John, if you’re reading, *wave*).

As was yesterday, (checks watch) actually, the day before (saturday). My parents are trying to work out what to do with regard to the fact that if my dad loses his job and they can’t get benefits then, well, the house will go). So a lot of clearing went on, and them trying to work out what they can get rid of, and what of mine will be going…..also a watching of Romeo and Juliet, which I’m not

Lots of thinking went on this weekend….not much decision making. Just that I need to sort myself out, and that i need to get a place of my own. Controllable environment. I need it – and soon. Still having a job should help, and am thinking I might well be able to get some benefits of some sort. Dunno what yet though. We’ll just have to wait and see.

I also need to properly sort through a lot of my books and sell off all my old model railway stuff…..it’s all gotta go, hopefully I can make some cash selling it.

09/02/2002: Katie Stood on the Benches

[Previous entry: “Never sting a biochemist.”] [Main Index] [Next entry: “Yet another pointless test”]

09/02/2002 Archived Entry: “Katie Stood on the Benches”

I completely forgot. I’ve been having a lot of trouble (quite possibly related to the change in dose of hormones) with my self image recently. As in feeling completely crap about how I look…..although not so much when I actually see myself. Although I still look crap in the photos.

Had some more done. Not linking to them, I’m told I look nice in them, but….anyway, they were for a deal with Amy, so I shan’t give them away anyway. But I might have posted a few. However, I generally feel like I’ve got big blokie arms, and shoulders. And just not good things.

I think the problem is my head is still at some level failing to realise that I don’t really look blokie anymore. Which is strange, because it used to be the other way around (back, even while I was at university, I’d feel okay about myself until I saw my reflection).

Anyway, so I’ve been feeling bad – and then seeing myself in reflections and feeling better. Which is kind of weird. Better than feeling bad, then seeing myself and feeling worse which happened for a long time. So.

It’s funny though. If rather depressing when I’m feeling bad. And I really do hate my arms. And my shoulders. The rest of me, well, it’s okay – for an off night. Probably.

And…yes. Did I mention Bedecker’s Norway and Sweden. No? Well, my dad found it for me. The only date in it is 1892 (it says fifth edition, I’m not sure whether that’s fifth edition and published in 1892 or fifth edition of a book first published in 1892). So anyway, my addiction to Norway has some basis in my past….I probably found that book many years ago….

Am thinking that that’s the kind of thing which’d be good for my planned TV program.

So, had a fairly busy weekend….starting on friday night. Actually, my first bit of news predates the weekend. I’ve got a job interview…..with the NHS! Yes, they managed not to lose both my application forms. And I actually got an interview, so I’ve got the hugest, most scary form to fill in.

Kate==Useless moron

At least that’s how I feel. For all the jokes, for setting my keyboard to Norwegian, and so on I’ve only just managed to make it to chapter 2 of “Norwegian in 3 months”. I just feel so hopeless, I mean, I struggle with language at the best of times (yes, yes, I know I used to be a technical writer, and an okay one apparently) but…..I just don’t feel like I’m making any progress. And it sucks.

And you know what the worst thing is? Knowing that I used to be much brighter. Knowing that there was a time where if I’d set my mind to it (as I’m trying to do now) I’d’ve actually been able to learn it. But right now I just feel so fucking *useless*. It’s all gone y’know. I just don’t feel like I can *do* or *learn* anything anymore.

You are easy going and unassuming, sometimes too much so. You don’t cause waves and are easy to get along with.. probably because you have no backbone. But it doesn’t matter, because people have a hard time not liking you.

I think I’m feeling a bit better than when I wrote the last entry. Not a lot better, but a bit. At least able to string together coherant sentances instead of half-completed paragraphs where I leap from one topic to another without explanation.

Still not really with it, but off to my parents for the weekend…..

So, Last time I went on holiday was when I was at university. For four days, iirc. That was more than 3 years ago.

Before that, oooh, when I was 16?

So imagine how incredibly, phenominally, excited I am to be finally going on *holiday*. Actually, on holiday. Leaving the country, going and seeing other places. Well. A place. One special offer from RyanAir and me being very, very down and now I’m booked in to go to Ireland.

I’ve only wanted to go to Ireland my entire life. So….this should be good.

So, you have to wonder, if you point a http client at a streamed MPEG radio station what you’ll get….I mean, it says 51 Mb to download….will it stop after 51Mb?

So, I have to know, but not right now…..

This does have a point – I want to record some norwegian so I can actually sit and listen to it.

Scared, scared, scared.

Job interview, huge loan for regolith….’s all coming together at once….eeep

I hate interviews, y’know. “How would your friends describe you” “Err, an unstable, insane, lazy fuckup?”. I don’t think that’s the answer they’re after…..

Anyway, They’ll be ringing up later today to tell me if I’ve: Got the job, got a job but not the one they’re offering, not got a job….so.

Yes, and the bank seem to think that they’d like to lend us money, when in recipt of a new business plan.

And I’ve got some photos. No, you can’t have them. Not unless you’re Amy, or maybe Peter. So :-P

So. That answers the what bad thing is going to happen to make up for loan and job. My dad’s being made redundant.

So, had a fairly busy weekend….starting on friday night. Actually, my first bit of news predates the weekend. I’ve got a job interview…..with the NHS! Yes, they managed not to lose both my application forms. And I actually got an interview, so I’ve got the hugest, most scary form to fill in.

A ‘Disclosure’ form….which doesn’t look fun.

Anyway, there’s that, then there’s the accountants tomorrow for Regolith stuff. That’s suitably terrifying, and I’ll be heading off to bed in a bit…..

And I’ve got a duplication run to do this week…how do I do it to myself, or how the world does it to me continues to suprise me – I’m just burbling along, doing sod all, and then suddenly I get a great huge pile of stuff to do in the few days.

So, this weekend I had Peter (for the entire long weekend) and Alexa (for the day) down to visit…which was cool. We spent a very relaxed weekend doing not terribly exciting, nor stressful things (apart from Peter moving a washing machine). Eating fajitas (yes, I cooked and he didn’t die!), wandering around town, around the downs (briefly, it went quite cold and I wasn’t dressed for it), around ‘the mall’, watched ‘Real Men’ off one of my ancient and very worn videos, went to see a film (‘The Guru’, was excellent, thoroughly recommend it), took loads of photos (entire 36 exposure film, sadly mostly of me….unfortunately they’re destined for Amy and no-one else. Well, one’s for Jas, but anyway.)….hrm, went down to Weston Super-Mare (I do think that’s an excellent placename)….just generally pottered about and then headed home.

Which was, to be frank, *really nice*. It was just a generally good weekend. And now I have the stresses and strains of tomorrow to look forward to…

I’m quite lucky ‘cos my old name is unisex, so I can just pop it down without revealing anymore about myself.

It doesn’t ask *why* you changed it :-)

NHS disclosure forms and old names, ack. Just best to go ahead and fill in, I guess :/

08/22/2002: So….

[Previous entry: “”] [Main Index] [Next entry: “Quiz”]

08/22/2002 Archived Entry: “So….”

Rough couple of days. Rough life, to be honest.

I actually was getting better, the stress was reducing. Then I found out more bad news about my dad; no I have no desire to go into it. And it all went down the pan.

Everything. You might notice it in yesterday’s entries. Well, actually the day before’s entries….

Anyway. Amy with amazing generousity of spirit rang me – despite me being about as miserable as hell – and we chatted….and chatted…..and chatted….and chatted….and I smiled….and we chatted some more. And then noticed that more than 2 hours had passed….

I like amy….even if she does drive a hard bargain.

And I still desperately want to visit Norway. Well, Amy. At one point she almost agreed to letting me practice photography on her. Yeah, you all know I’m okay/average at landscape photography but I *suck* *royally* at photographing people. This is at least partially because I’m so slow to focus on moving objects (I’m not very keen on the Canon’s focusing system).

Which always buggers up the photo, because people tense….and tense….and then it looks awful.

Anyway, today was a bad day. I had to get away.

Ended up watching Automan (abysmal but funny), Glam Metal Detectives (funny) and some of Explorers (didn’t follow this too much, was chatting and my stress related disorder appears to have come back….which meant I wasn’t gonna see that much of it).

Oooh, and my neck just went Crunch-click.

As did a bunch of my other joints.

Anyway. Life’s shit, innit.

You are 68% geek

You are a geek. Good for you! Considering the endless complexity of the universe, as well as whatever discipline you happen to be most interested in, you’ll never be bored as long as you have a good book store, a net connection, and thousands of dollars worth of expensive equipment. Assuming you’re a technical geek, you’ll be able to afford it, too. If you’re not a technical geek, you’re geek enough to mate with a technical geek and thereby get the needed dough. Dating tip: Don’t date a geek of the same persuasion as you. You’ll constantly try to out-geek the other.
