Take cover.
I'm at work on a Sunday. LSW has decided that the Bedroom needs a new lick of paint, so I've decided to get out. Work needs a little refining on the Client Five front so I'll just get that out of the way and head back. She'll probably be very frustrated and guess who'll get it in the neck.
Why am I not helping her out? Well, it's her hobby. I get involved and she says I'm not doing it right, she gets even more flustered and then a big fight. It's very predictable. Admittedly, the shouting match we had last night was anything but. We'd decided to go out for a meal, but when she looked in the mirror, her confidence was shattered and we both went out in a bad mood. I'm not the most understanding of people, sometimes, but hand on heart I can say that this was brewing from the moment we stepped out of the house.
Anyway, we were in a crowded bar waiting for our table and it all kicked off. Anything I said was met with snappish replies and that got my hackles up. Ten minutes later of this kind of conversation, I was wondering about going home and then we really got stuck into each other. There then followed another ten minutes of awkward silence, followed by a mumbled apology from each of us. Talk about practice for kids.
She did say that she felt better after letting off steam like that but ouch. And also she began to see that there were girls out on the town, who were not pregnant, but a lot larger round the stomach and practically wearing nothing but a g-string. Funny really, it seems to me that women are a very competitive bunch, always comparing each other in the most nasty way possible. Some are vocal about it, some keep it to themselves, or come up with a more tactful way of putting it, but they all seem to do it.
The Star Wars ff is half done, but I put a link up to the new chapters up on the message board. That’s only supposed to be done by the site owner. Think they might get a bit peeved at me. Hope they’ll let me finish it.
But the game, oh it’s so depressing. The graphics are still not displaying and I’ve just found out that a company in Denmark have a game with a similar concept. Only theirs is done. BUGGER! Can’t stop though. I think this is something to prove to myself, might even work out better than I thought. I’ll observe them and see if I can learn from any mistakes they make.
