I seem to have leapt willingly onto a rollercoaster. Not sure if this was a good idea.
Also, I didn't get the job I was interviewed for last week. But I will persevere!
Stay cool.

In the spirit of getting back to bearing my soul (what this blog was originally about) I shall start with some more truths about myself.
I am scared of spiders.
More tommorrow!

The Geek Horizon:
I am compelled (via the sudden rising bubble of memory) to write about an incident where my incessant quoting proved not only amusing but useful.
I was on my second ever archaeological dig, this one at the Roman Villa of Barcombe back in the sunny summer of 2003. It was here that friendships were built that continue to last (though somewhat dimmed by distance and time). It was also here that the rule of courtly love
'a new love puts flight to an old one'
became a reality for me. Having pined over a friend for many many months I met someone new who blasted that all away. Feeling the warming glow of confidence I began to do things more heroic and come out of my shell more.
One morning, I escaped the chaos of the breakfast table to assemble to trek the twenty or so minutes to site. However, it seemed that I was only one of a few who had gotten up from breakfast to enter the direct sunshine. The others weren't lazy, hungover or refusing, they were just too embroiled in their conversation. Our tutor, turned to me and asked me to get them out of there. As I walked back towards the dining hut I began to think of the quickest way to get them all to move.
I slammed the door open.
I slammed my palm on the table.
Silence filled the hall.
"Morpheus is fighting Neo!" I cried and sprinted out of the room, everyone following me.
