    “You were a bit of a crap partner.”

    I hope that’s taken out of context. I said something in that line once but I was young, stupid and drunk. Still feel bad about it. What’s her reason?

    Hey WSE

    I suspect she’s still annoyed about that three week trip to Spain with my cousin. The usual comparative happiness dilemma things. You know.. I hate you because you are not a bum.

    how come I end up spending a lost 30min on the ramblings of Joe through some rabbithole that he presents every now and then??? this one started with the obscure “Hi – Geekdinner – Joe” email. regardless, this journaling thing seems cool – perhaps if i did this, i would not feel like such a loser and realise that i do actually get a reasonable amount of things done… good idea joe! i guess this was not a lost 30min then, huh?!?
