YOU YOU YOU YOU-TAH SAINTS
I'm really not up to the blogging malarkey at the moment, y'know. All those other bloggers dropping out ... one or two tetchy responses from Other People, Elsewhere, that I'm still smarting about. Really, you need to have a hide as thick as a rhinoceros to be in this game! At this rate I won't have an audience left! Still, I've nicked this meme from Dive as a stopgap. Will post it in two parts ... so I won't have to do a proper post until July, when it'll be my birthday. Happy birthday to me ...
1) Are you taller than your mother?
Yes. Only slightly though.
2) What colour is your car?
Don't own one.
3) What is the closest thing to you that is red?
A box of Rennies.
4) What is your ringtone?
I don't own a phone. Heard one today of someone's rugrat singing a nursery rhyme. How vomit inducing can you get? I almost thumped the woman!
5) Are you sick?
Is this the teenage use of the word "sick"? In that case, probably not. Otherwise, I've had indigestion for the past few days, hence the Rennies.
6) What colour is your favourite pillow?
Dunno. Do you mean the pillow or the pillow case? White or pale blue, in that order.
7) Favourite video game?
Not interested.
8) Nap today?
It's early morning so no.
9) Gold or silver?
Either. Depends on the context.
10) Is there an animal that creeps you out?
Sloth.
11) The last person you rode an elevator with?
Whaaat? Does this mean something in English?? Do you mean, like, having sex in a hotel lift? How gross! Barff me out with a spoon!
12) Did you go ice skating as a kid?
No. I have a mortal fear of falling over on ice, because it's happened a few times in winter.
14) Ever have stitches?
No.
15) Favourite non alcoholic drink?
Really strong tea.
16) How long ago did you kiss someone?
Less than two hours ago.
17) What is something that you want to do before you die?
Shoot a man just to watch him die.
18) Ever caught something on fire?
An infection ... moving swiftly on ...
19) Ever seen a ghost?
No, but I've had telepathic experiences. Nothing too impressive.
20) Ever seen the northern lights?
Seen The Stone Roses live a couple of times.
21) Do you know how to use chopsticks?
I make very slow progress with chopsticks.
22) Something good that happened today?
As the recently re-mixed Utah Saints once said, via Kate Bush, you know that something good is gonna happen ...

BOO HOO, AGAIN
I thought this blogging malaise was a symptom of the usual January blues, but it's just going on and on.
It's not even just a problem with finding things to post about, which is bad enough.
I find it difficult to leave comments on other blogs, which means people probably think I'm a stuck up bitch, but in reality every time I visit other comments boxes I'm suddenly overcome with inertia and can't think of anything to write.
Still, at least this means that my awful, dad-like Norman Wisdom/Robbie Williams puns are not lowering the tone of other sites among all the sophisticated exchanges about Web 2.0, Zizek, fusion cuisine and the impending recession.
I even seem to be ignoring my regulars, let alone the famous, glamorous, winsome bloggers who are now writers with modelling contracts for Marc Jacobs and Paul Smith, or those frighteningly cool bloggers who I'm normally so in awe of that I very rarely converse with them in the comments box, if ever.
So, basically, after a few minutes of looking through new blog posts in the morning I come over all fey, dizzy and in need of a lie down on the chaise longue and with a desire to be fed grapes by a Roman slave.
All I can do is apologise to you.
Please, have a heart for someone who is obviously sick, sick, sick.
