I spent about an hour takling with katy tonight. it felt good to hear her voice :) Poor thing was really tired though, and the way the conversation ended made me giggle. She was in bed, and was starting to fall asleep. I know my cue to start saying goodnight is coming up when she starts mumbling and talking very slowly. Tonight was the best though, she was snoring on the phone :)

Me: katy, sweetie, hang up the phone now, you're falling asleep
Her: ok, ok, night night, love you.
Me: I love you too hun, now hang up.
*sounds of snoring on the phone*
Me: sweeeetie, hang up the phone, you're falling asleep
Her: oh, ok.
*more snoring*
Me: kaaaaty, you're going to leave your phone line open again, hang up
Her: right, right, love you
*snkzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz*

And this went on for something like 5 minutes, before I managed to get her to hang up :)

silly girl.

I love her :)

Just wanted to write this in regards to something I posted earlier.

I am not an angry person, but everybody has lines that you don't cross. Not respecting me is one such line. Personal respect is a big issue for me. For years, I was picked on and it generally made me feel like shit, until the day that I realized that I deserved respect, just like anybody else and wouldn't put up with this sort of crap. If people won't give me basic respect, i'll just avoid them. I don' t need to submit to that, and confrontation is not in my nature… but when people come into my space to disrespect me, that will not stand.

LONDON (Reuters) – American author and journalist Tom Wolfe has won one of the world's most dreaded literary accolades — the British prize for bad sex in fiction.

The prize is awarded each year “to draw attention to the crude, tasteless, often perfunctory use of redundant passages of sexual description in the modern novel”.

Wolfe won it for a couple of purple passages from his latest novel “I am Charlotte Simmons”, a tale of campus life at an exclusive U.S. university. “Slither slither slither slither went the tongue,” one of his winning sentences begins.

“But the hand that was what she tried to concentrate on, the hand, since it has the entire terrain of her torso to explore and not just the otorhinolaryngological caverns — oh God, it was not just at the border where the flesh of the breast joins the pectoral sheath of the chest — no, the hand was cupping her entire right — Now!”

Judges described Wolfe's prose as “ghastly and boring”.

The former Washington Post correspondent, whose debut novel “Bonfire of the Vanities” was a defining text of the 1980s, fought off stiff competition from 10 other authors including South African Andre Brink, whose novel “Before I Forget” contains the following description of a woman's vulva:

“(It was) like a large exotic mushroom in the fork of a tree, a little pleasure dome if ever I've seen one, where Alph the sacred river ran down to a tideless sea. No, not tideless. Her tides were convulsive, an ebb and flow that could take you very far, far back, before hurling you out, wildly and triumphantly, on a ribbed and windswept beach without end.”

Another writer who only narrowly escaped the prize was Britain's Nadeem Aslam for his novel “Maps for Lost Lovers” a tale of life in a Muslim community in an English town.

“His mouth looked for the oiled berry,” one of his raunchiest passages starts.

“The smell of his armpits was on her shoulders — a flower depositing pollen on a hummingbird's forehead,” another reads. The winner of the award, organised by the London-based Literary Review, is given an Oscar-style statuette and a bottle of champagne — but only if he or she comes to the awards ceremony in person.

Organisers said Wolfe, who is based in New York, was the first writer in the 12-year history of the competition to decline his invitation.

I just threw somebody out of my office. It felt good to do.

I was making a playlist, ordering Pink Floyd tracks according to their original albums. Fascinating, i know, but bear with me. Thing is, I was concentrating on it. Now anybody who knows me knows that I kinda turn autistic when I concentrate, i.e. I block out the world around me and focus on a single thing.

So when an idiot silently walks into my office and yells “JUST WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!” behind me, bad things happen. Like me almost falling out of my swivel chair and having a heart attack.

I am rarely pissed off. Rarely angry. But this time, I just looked at him and calmly said “get out of my office before I punch your face in”. Funny thing, I meant it. Funnier thing, he left.

Over the weekend, I ordered flowers to be delivered to Katy this morning, before she left for Manchester to wish her luck on her interview and as a little pick-me-up cause she's going to have a busy week. A half-dozen long stemmed white roses. So, this morning, as I'm talking to her on the phone (I wanted to make sure she got them – or knew of them – before she left), the delivery man arrives and gives them to her. She loved them, which made my day.

I ask her to describe them to me, cause I knew what I'd ordered, but not exactly how they'd be presented. First thing she says is that they're a lovely deep red.

Red.

Gaaaaaah!

They screwed up the order. I sent them an email this morning (and won't worry sweetie, I remained polite) thanking them for their prompt delivery, but it would have been better if the correct flowers had been sent.

As I got in to work, I had this waiting for me in my mailbox:

Firstly apologies for our mistake. I have just spoken to our florist who cannot apologies enough for the error. We will however as a goodwill gesture, send another six white roses tomorrow with our apologies. I hope you find this satisfactory.
