Not writing.

[whatho]

I get that I'm in some sense hysterical to behold because I've had enough total strangers either wolf whistle sarcastically or say 'You're ugly' from a fast-moving bike. I couldn't actually give less of a stuff about it. What vexes me is a) the young male's sense of entitlement to vocally respond and b) my inability to come up with a decent comeback until I'm two minutes along the road. I contemplated returning to the latest boy of seventeen or whatever he was, once I had a few words ready for him, but probably he's gone elsewhere now. I hope a piano falls on his foot.

It's so ODD having finished my thing I was writing, in other news, and being more or less obliged to let it sit a while. It means I can faff about over the Sunday papers without knowing there's something more pressing I'm meant to be doing. Later on I'm going to make Sims of all the people from Local Hero. Local Hero's getting a DVD re-release, which is rather magnificent. But yes. I want to go to the cinema, but there's nothing I want to see. I just want to go. Going while I was supposed to be writing was always a bit conscience-striking. Why isn't SRK having a film right now? I don't get that.

Of course what I actually ought to be doing is working on one of my other billions of unfinished bits of writing, but I'm ignoring that for now.

When people comment on my size I aim to respond with a big beaming grin and 'Thanks'. It tends to confuse.

One day I will go all out and gushingly thank them for bringing it to my attention seeing as how I hadn't noticed and all....

Not writing because you've finished something and are all achievy is very good and must be relished.

I keep intendeding to apologise profusely for whatever I did to provoke them in the past in the hope it wigs them out. Or I might just throw rocks at them. I probably won't.

Not writing because Alan Ayckbourn ('s book) told me not to is a particularly great feeling. Actually he didn't tell me not to work on any of the other things I might be working on. But I'm sure it's what he meant.

You are very much not ugly, I assume you know that, but I say it anyway. You're not hysterical looking either. People are weird, and the views of people who shout at people in the street are not very trustworthy ones. I hope a piano falls on his foot.

I hate the cinema. THey put ALL THE FILMS in the world on during weeks that I can't leave the house. Then they release nothing for MONTHS when I can.

You finished a thing! There were lost spoilers so I didn't read about it, I think. Or something. I just read about 600 posts on my flist so I might have just IGNORED YOU. Sorry and all.

Oh - I didn't mean that to sound self-pitying or anything and really I don't much care what seventeen year old boys with awful hair are moved to say about me and I don't oblige them so much as to actively recoil when I pass a mirror. But you speak lovely-ly. I think if two people hope a piano falls on his foot it's fairly likely to happen.

I cruelly put my news about finishing the thing in the same post as the Lost spoilers, yes. Sorry about that. THANK YOU.
