The end is nigh (of 2006)
Well, well, well. That’s it then. We’ve nearly run out of 2006. This is a bad thing for me, because it’s my birthday on 31st and I don’t want to get any older PLUS next year is going to be an odd-numbered year.
I can’t explain it - there’s just this overwhelming wrongness to odd-numbered years. Bad things always happen to me on them and I don’t expect to be lucky again for an entire year (and by that time I will nearly be 30 - gaaaaah!)
So, whilst I’m in a reflective kinda mood I thought I’d share with you some of the things I’ve learnt during 2006…
- Trying to sell a car with half a roof rack is never easy
- Constant faffing and dying of hair really doesn’t make it grow
- Dressing up as a KGB agent was a very good idea in October (possibly not such a good one now)
- Thinking 280 miles to Brugge - that’s not far - let’s go!
- Men who drive Lotus sports cars (or ones just designed by Lotus) makes them self-centred arseholes. Technically, this was more of a re-learning than a learning.
- I’m stupid for not learning my lesson first time around that men who drive Lotus sports cars are, in fact self-centred arseholes
- Being an Aunty isn’t too bad
- Thinking that doing a project for the American office would be a good idea
- Forgetting the location of where you used to find loads of magic mushrooms until it’s too dark to pick them shows that vast quantities of drugs *do* affect memory
- I’ve learnt far too much about the menopause. More than I could possibly ever need to know working in an office with middle-aged ladies
- Collecting pictures of knobs from men on skype is incredibly easy and they will even pose with various items naked if requested
- Moving my desk around so that very few people can see my monitor was one of the best things I’ve ever done…but hasn’t exactly lead to an increase in productivity
- Painting a bathroom bit by bit when you work full time is a very long task indeed
- The amount of people searching for “free soapy tit wanks” is actually quite high, and makes me wonder if they actually expect to find a website offering such a thing for free?
- Sometimes, you just have to get very, very drunk
- Pointy high-heeled boots *always* look great but you’ll feel sorry for yourself after a day of shopping wearing them (again, learnt before but easily forgotten)
- Wanking Dutch men are very erotic
- Wanking English men aren’t
- Nightclubs are still great fun
- Having some peaceful, nice, quiet times to yourself is actually jolly nice
- People have probably stopped reading this long list by now
