Aw Diddums

Mood: Ordinary
Listening to: Morning tinnitus

I must be the only person in the country who gets up to heated toothpaste. No, we don't have a butler or a maid or something - it's just that my sponge bag hangs too close to the radiator.

On the wallpaper site my small audience slowly grows - it's actually a little nerve-racking, like on this blog... you wonder if you will suddenly start posting rubbish, and not because you meant to. And there's always the risk someone will drop in to say "pooh bah" and not much else. It hasn't happened yet, but you never know.

I think, though, that my shell is a lot tougher than it used to be. I've been on the internet a fair time and I'm more inclined to shrug things off and see that it's just some so-and-so in a bullying rampage. Other times, seeming rudeness was meant as a joke - quite often I've understood what somebody was trying to say, but the person they're addressing gets upset and thinks they're being attacked.

I'm not leading anywhere with this - just saying... Anyway, if in doubt, it's better to say nothing than to respond with hurt and anger. Sometimes ignoring something is the best thing to do, anyway - it just dissipates into thin air. A day of peace is better than a day of strife. Much better. Got so much to do - carpet-hunting again. We went into another carpet store the other day, and this was the choice: beige, stone, beige, fudge, beige, mushroom, beige. And there weren't even any speckled ones.
