There is a new journal entry. Again. Second time in two days. I hope you appreciate this.

Have a nice weekend.

Well I couldn't leave that as my last thought for the weekend. So I thought I'd leave you this instead that I received as part of an email from a workmate...
IF YOU WANT BREAKFAST IN BED, SLEEP IN THE KITCHEN
which I thought was a good sentiment.

So noone seems to care that I've been dying of hayfever. Which maybe isn't important but many people if they posted this would be overwhelmed with 'awwww' messages. And only four people seem to give a shit that I've not only redone my blog, but revamped my site as well. And changed my livejournal colours so I'm happier with them. And I know that various people are just far too busy right now to be here but I feel like I've been stressing about getting the new version up and running for ages only for noone to care. And I want to know why I bother? It makes me happy that I can do all this. But if noone's ever here to notice, why bother? Why not just do it all on paper?

I've said it before and I'll say it again. If you don't actually give a shit, please don't ever pretend you do. I just get delusions of people caring then.

I'm bored to death. I want my mind to wake up again. I want to come across something that reminds me that all out in the wilds of the internet isn't shit.

I need more time. And yet in some ways I have far, far too much.

I need someone to clone themselves, I need one of the people who truly inspire me to split themselves in two so one half can go live their exciting lives and the other half can constantly update, tell me what they're doing, what's happening.

MY EYES ARE HURTING.

I WANT TO RUB THEM VERY HARD.

Failing that I want to smash things. Or to scream.

,12:02 p.m., Thursday, June 21, 2001
I somehow messed up my thoughts section, half way through sorting it out. And now the girl I work with is back so I can't really sort it out. It will have to wait. But I can't imagine anyone has been desparately waiting for me to finish it.

,11:20 a.m., Thursday, June 21, 2001
New livejournal and journal entries.

,04:52 p.m., Wednesday, June 20, 2001
RAWR. It's working. Tristian, you're a star.

I'm going home now. Leave me adultation while I'm gone. I've revamped my pita, my personal site and my livejournal today. I think I deserve it.

,04:39 p.m., Wednesday, June 20, 2001
OK. My entries are back. If anyone can help me set up my page so the two tables are both to the right of the entries, please let me know.

,03:41 p.m., Wednesday, June 20, 2001
If anyone can read this (or is looking at the source text - my preferred way of catching up with those who aren't viewable in Netscape for whatever reason), then I finally revamped pieces of me. Please let me know what you think. Still very plain and simple, and still unfinished, but prettier. Hope you like.

,03:29 p.m., Wednesday, June 20, 2001
Errrr... where did all my entries go?

,12:13 p.m., Wednesday, June 20, 2001
Typical. More Vitamin C bashing. You have to read to the last sentence to find out that Vitamin C does not interact in the body with the chemicals it is supposed to have an adverse reaction with.

Anyway. If it is true then vitamin C massively reduces your risk of heart disease, but increases your risk of cancer. I've got a family history of heart disease, but none of cancer, and my risk factors for cancer are generally low - apart from the smoking which I've pretty much stopped. I'll take my chances....

I need help. As you may have noticed, I've been messing round with my pita. And I want it so that each entry is on the left of the page, and the two columns are to the right, next to each other. (I suppose I basically want to swap the two left hand columns round). But when I swapped the html round, it put the entries at the top, centred, and the two other columns underneath, to each side of the middle. So if anyone can tell me what I need to do, email me. Thanks.

I like this far better than I did. I liked the colour, but it was too much as a background. And back to arial so my computer can deal. I wanted a change, but this will do.

I'd forgotten how much hay fever can make you feel like you've got flu. I ache and my eyes are so sore it's unbelieveable, my nose is running like a tap and I just want to either cry, rub my eyes till they're even rawer than they already are or just go back to bed.

And Alan's away. And I haven't got anyone to look after me. It's not fair.

Send me sympathy?

I'm amazed. Really.

And this freaks me out. I'm sure if it's true there, it'll be true here too. Scary.

wishlist

"practice random kindness and acts of senseless beauty"

go on... go out and do this now. leave some money in the coffee machine so someone gets a free drink. wash someone else's coffee mug in work without telling them. buy a friend flowers 'just because'. stick up a poem on a noticeboard. go and ask in an old people's home if there is anyone who doesn't ever get visitors and sit with them for a while. smile at a stranger. let someone pull out of a side street in front of you. call your mum or dad or grandparents to tell them you love them. make someone a cake. draw this saying and stick it on a noticeboard where people will see.

spread beauty through your life. you can change the world like this.
