baratronI haven't had time to look at livejournal in more than a week, let alone write in it. I've left things for so long that even if I use filters on my friends page so I only see the entries made by "real" people rather than communities, I still can't see everything before hitting the scrollback limit of 200 entries. Hmmm. The consequence of this is that I have no idea what anyone is up to. If any of you are having a particularly eventful life at the moment and you were wondering why I hadn't posted, emailed or phoned you about it, that's because I haven't seen what you've written yet. Even though I'm writing this now, I won't be able to catch up with anyone's entries until at least Monday or Tuesday. Sorry about that :( If you've written something that you'd like me to see, please email me either the full text or a link with explanation. Thanks!
So, hmmm... I'm not sure how far back to go with catching up. Here's the basic highlights of the past couple of weeks:
Friday 26th October - went to the London bi social in London Bridge with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
inquis. Met heaps of bi folk & friends that I hadn't seen for a long time, and had a really good conversation with some of them. I enjoyed myself a great deal, and meant to post a long entry listing everything I'd enjoyed about the night and thanking everyone for being interesting, but it's a bit late now.
Saturday 27th October - Neither Richard nor I can remember. Which suggests we might have been sleeping all day, or something. If anyone knows what we were doing, please let us know.
Sunday 28th October -meeping & Peter came round and we discovered that while Nando's food is suitable for Peter even in his most "fear of size 34 trousers"-full moods, it was all far too spicy for Tim. So that was a bit crap. I did some amusing wheeling and dealing between local shops and eBay, and ended up making about £58.
Monday 29th & Tuesday 30th October - Rewrote my CV, again. Rang up & emailed about lots of jobs. I originally planned to list exactly how many jobs in a long livejournal rant, but I can't be bothered anymore. Consider yourselves lucky. Also went round all the temping agencies in Kingston, several of whom rejected me without even bothering to read my CV because I didn't have recent experience in the right areas. Blah.
Wednesday 31st October - Had two job interviews, about which I will write more in another entry. As I was in London with a Travelcard and nothing to do for two hours, I took a couple of buses just to see where they went, then rode the DLR from Bank to Island Gardens for no reason other than that I could. In the evening I sawbfo and hatter, and we watched "Almost Famous" (which I loved, and will review sometime when I get a chance), and ate too much toffee popcorn with strange sausages from the Sizzling Sausages shop.
More catching up tomorrow evening...

Bluewater.
Saturday 27th.
You see, the thing that can impress me about a piece of art is raw talent - when someone can do something really special. A lot of the performance in this show, particularly by the female athletes, was just gymnastics and dance. I used to do gymnastics when I was younger - I was never much good at it, but I improved no end with regular tuition. Many of the things the athletes did were things I saw other girls in my gym class do. And so they didn't impress me - because I know that the majority of people would be able to do these things given the right training and practice. It was only the parts of the performance which I knew required natural skill as well as training which impressed me - only really the fight sequences, and there were precious few of these. Richard said I was uncultured because of my opinions. Oh well.
