Fair Misery! (Blog 315)

As I’m typing this on a Friday, I know that tomorrow will be a rubbish day! :) There will be a massive fair, and I’m going to be stuck indoors describing how miserable I am and how I’m missing out on home made curry sauces, boats and ice cream. I’m not sure if I’ll be missing out on penguins and turtles, certainly not flying turtles, but who knows exactly what will happen? Still, I’m making the best of situation. I may not be a pro artist, but I enjoyed my electronic doodling, and whilst I didn’t draw the animals, I did select them and change their sizes! As you can see, I couldn’t work out how to reverse the images of the shoes, but there’s nothing wrong with drawing crippled people, I guess. Similarly, there probably won’t be any fireworks as the fair is in the day, but there will be metaphorical fireworks, I’m sure.

Now, about my top hat: Where did I get it from and why? Only joking, I don’t really have it. Although my birthday is coming up, and I certainly wouldn’t mind one. I’m all about wacky gifts as well as typical ones. I haven’t quite yet reached the age where all I think about is socks, but at the same time, I do need some new ones. Have I pointed that out before? It rings a bell, but I can’t quite put my finger on it. Whatever the case, if a family member is reading this… socks, please. And CDs. I’m all about CDs. As tomorrow will suck so much, I thought it would be a good idea to treat myself to a CD in Staines and dare I say it, a sugary treat in the form of a hot chocolate and cream on Sunday. It’s been a while. On the plus side, that should mean I’ll really appreciate the trip, but on the other hand I may get lost. Yes, the town is about three miles away, but my thinking is lost knowledge just means more space to learn new things. :O

Now what to say? Oh, you know when I said my drawing had a flying turtle in it? Maybe it got blasted into the air through a firework rocket. What kind of celebration is that?? A very bad one, and not one I’d like to be a part of. Maybe, just maybe, it’s best if I stay home. Does that sound like sour grapes to you?? Now what? Oh yes, someone emailed me to say he’d like to share my material on his website, if I blogged about him. I did blog about him and I showed him my draft, (but I haven’t posted my work on my site, yet) and he is yet to contact me for a second time, confirming things. Sure my blog wasn’t 100% professional, in fact it was taking the P a little, but it was a good 1,500 words long and I am a bit miffed that I may have wasted all that time. So if you’re reading this, site owner, get your act together and let me pown you. Only joking, there’s no pown.

Hm, three paragraphs and the day hasn’t even started yet. Not bad! But now I’m really stuck with writer's block. Sooo… Do I want it to rain tomorrow, so it spoils everybody’s fun?? I mean, if I had the choice to make it rain, I wouldn’t, I’m not quite that bad. On the other hand, if it DID rain, it would make me happier. Kind of a middle ground, you could say. Although according to the internet, Saturday should be a fine if partly cloudy day. Ah clouds, try launching fireworks when no one will ever see them! Perfect news for turtles I’m sure. If they were feeling even the slightest bit fearful earlier, now they really should have peace of mind. Ok, four paragraphs. I think I’ll do something else and get back to you later. Bye!

Wow, against all reason, the guy I was talking about earlier has got back to me and wants me to publish my unreleased blog! No problem! Posted!

(A day passes)

So yeah, blog posted. Great guy. Here’s his link to his site again, just for the sake of friendliness…

Ok! Now to talk about how miserable I am! To start the day, I drank water of all things (a million miles away from Apple Tango, and maybe a thousand miles away from orange juice) then I watched someone drinking something on Youtube. This is not living. What is living though, is going to the gym later and getting a Chinese takeaway, which I will be doing. To a lesser extent, scratching yourself is living, too, and I’ve just scratched my foot. Satisfying. Did you know that out of your head, back and ankle, scratching the latter is the most fun? It’s genuine science, that fact was shared recently on a quiz show. Why such scientific research was done I don’t know. Some people try curing cancer, others work out the nicest place to scratch.

Ok, I still haven’t heard screams of joy, but there is still time. When I hear phrases such as ‘This fair is so wonderful!’, ‘This is the best day of my life!’ and ‘Wow, everything here is just right!’ I think I may break down. No. Be strong strong Simon, your birthday is coming up! What are my birthday plans? I think I may listen to ’Superheroes’ by Racer X, as it was released on a band member’s 34th birthday, the age I will be. I just think it will be a neat thing to do, I can’t work out why. I wonder if there’s any point in continuing this blog. I don't think so. It’s not that I can’t handle the prior thoughts anymore actually, it’s because I’m being practical. We all know what happens in fairs. :,( Now how to wrap things up? Let’s give the link again…

That’s all from me, bye!!!!! :S
