I hear over and over again people say "Take a little bit of time to be by yourself. Use the time to reflect and relax. Just getting away from the world for a while will make you feel refreshed, and like a phoenix rising from the ashes, you'll be ready to take on the world again".
This week, I have the house all to myself, since my flat mate has abandoned me on my birthday week, to go gallivanting around France and Italy for the Olympics. So on my first night, yes, I've got all the remote controls in easy reach, yes I can watch Desperate Housewives and American Idol without hearing "WHY ARE WE WATCHING THIS CRAP?" (because I like it, I'm not ashamed), yes, I have a lovely bottle of wine chilling in the fridge ready for me to consume at a moments notice, and yes, I even have the obligatory scented candles wafting lovely scents around the room. So how do I spend my first night alone?
Cleaning light switches with toothpaste.
I am so sad.

About Me
- Trying to "Panda"
- London, United Kingdom
- What that "Trying to Panda" means: "Panda" has become a synonym for pander, which is what I have to remember to try and do, rather than just tell people to shut up. Where: London Why: Doing my Aussie tour of duty back in 2001, meant that I left Sydney to live in London for a year. One year has now turned in to almost 5 1/2, residency and hopefully the percurement of British nationality, so that I can now go travelling around Europe without the need of those pesky visas (even if they do look oh so pretty in my passport). I like: marmite, chillies (fresh, dried, or in a jar with vinegar), french (the language), nutella on white bread (with no butter), East Enders, trying to burn past other cyclists when I ride home from work. I don't like: vegemite, losing, and having cyclists burn past me when I ride home from work. I always feel paranoid about something.
