To Keep Myself Amused

<<< Previous Entry: Top Five Christmas Songs Ever | This Month's entries | Next Entry: Social Experiments For A World Gone Mad >>

Today I star in a Christmas Party Pantomime where I play a welsh shepherd and act really patronisingly towards all other characters (I am supposed to be patronising, it's not me having some arrogant belief in my own dramatic talent, though I do feel the emotion and pathos behind the 'been to see my father down the mine' line deserves some dramatic award). Tomorrow the various church Christmas celebrations happen, including the young church nativity play (tea towels! halos!) and the candle lit carol service (candles! carols!). Monday I head home to Swansea for Christmas.

So who knows when I'll next write again1? WHO KNOWS!?!! With that in mind, let's review some old entries to keep you contented till I can think of something clever to say.
Sparticus predicts trackback spam two years before the fact! Spam on websites is dropping like the bomb (I'm so gangsta) and I saw it's potential first! Actually I saw it as a vague possibility and got pretty much everything wrong. Still, THE FUTURE HERE FIRST!
Sparticus talks about soon going to see the best gig of his life in the style of a teenage livejournal user! Note the fine writing style; the use of the word COZ, the spelling of the word writing (righting! HAHAHA!), the teenage angst underlying it all! Yes, this is the greatest parody of a teenager internet junkie ever made!
The entry in which Sparticus's parents meet Jaclyn's mum! Suprisingly enough, even if you know my parents and Jaclyn's mum this entry is still more pointless than a shark with a Rexel Matador 2 Stapler (for use with Rexel No.56 or No.16 staples only).

Happy run up to Christmas!

footnotes



1) Actually, I'll probably write again on Monday by the latest, seeing as I have internet access at home. There is no real mystery about it, I'm just trying to make it sound like there is.

you should write in a livejournal "stylee" more often.

i feel like i can "relate".

Sheepie

I see no footnote.

Mr.Moony

Also why do you say 'who knows when il post next ?' cant you just post from home ? or is that a gimic to get more hits so people check every few hours thinking 'i wonder if hes updated' ... because it worked ...

Sparticus

I hope the footnote I forgot to write at the time and only just wrote now clears up the last two comments. Good observations though.
As for the girst comment. No.

Alasdair

I couldn't find the CS Lewis quote in the article you linked to. Possibly cos I got so bored reading it I fell asleep and drooled all over my laptop, which made a stain.

Sparticus

What is this entry? Some place where everyone points out the holes in my site? I've fixed it, it now points to the correct page.

David
