Dear Diary

To the anonymous douchebag who just sent me an email courtesy of the contact form on this blog telling me that I’m an idiot for stating that humans are outside natural order, grow a pair of cojones and don’t hide behind the cloak of anonymity.
As for why I think humans are outside natural order - [...]



Moths
Spiders
Being mollycoddled
Too much attention (I don’t like being suffocated, thanks)
Not enough attention (Nor do I like being entirely left to my own devices for too long)
People with no interest in the world around them
Being lied to/deceived (did I ever mention the ex who lied and told me he adored dogs because I’d stated when we [...]



So, had plans for my weekend all laid out and have had to cancel the lot of them.
Why?
Because I just checked my lip (which, admittedly, has been feeling Not Quite Right all day), and I was greeted by the sight of a developing cold sore.
*insert a 5 minute long endless stream of expletives*
Not happy, Jan. [...]



Right, well this whole quitting cold turkey thing isn’t going to work - I managed to distract myself from having a bed time cig last night but was cross all evening, and refraining from my morning one has left me trapped away from polite society as I have a very strong temptation to bite anyone [...]



I was right - not having the regular after dinner cigarette is driving me crazy. I went for a long walk to try and get rid of the cravings but all it did was increase the itchniness. How on earth *did* I manage to quit last time? I certainly know how I managed to cut [...]



This is ridiculous.
I bought my current deck of cigs (Benson & Hedges Smooth, 25pk) over the weekend and I’m already down to 6. I’m smoking too much again.
Time to attempt the quit…again. Last deck, will save the remaining 6 for emergencies, then not buy anymore.
Ooooh, this is gonna hurt.



Went up to the top of the Dandenongs on Sunday night for an attempt at a photo shoot of the city lights…discovered to my dismay that my lack of practice outside the realm of food photography in the past few months has resulted in my losing my ability to work the camera outside my kitchen [...]



Driving to the shops to do some grocery shopping, I’m coasting down a parking aisle and
“OH MY FUCKING GOD IT’S A HUNTSMAN AND IT’S CRAWLING DOWN MY MOTHERFUCKIN’ WINDSHIELD! AAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!!”
Cue slamming on breaks (thankfully it wasn’t much of a deal as I was the only car in the aisle and traveling at about 10 kph), [...]



I’m grinning like a damn fool and I can’t get to sleep.
I had my first proper, successful date in 1 1/2 years tonight, and despite my nerves, it was absolutely wonderful.
We met before the movie for a quick (non-alcoholic) beverage, then saw Juno (which I’ve been dying to see and thoroughly enjoyed), then had another [...]



There seems to be some sort of general misunderstanding about how to get my attention, and I’d say that this is much the same for many females out there. Lads, let me break it down for you:
Bad ways to get my attention
- If I’m having a gas and dancing like a retard on the dancefloor [...]
