I recongise many of these traits but especially Symptons include extreme psychopathic episodes directed at microblogging services. Triggers range from service outage to time delay between tweets being sent to mobile and appearing on twitter client. Also triggered by incessant noise pollution from tweet alerts on multiple devices.
You know you blog too much when
the following conversation takes places T (arriving home from work to see me in the kitchen baking cookies) - is the internet broken? Me - no, why? T - You normally do other stuff when it’s down. Me - That is so not true and unfair. T - Raises eyebrows. Me - okay fair enough.

Seriously who?
Kids these days
Asking someone out seems to have become a lot more inventive since I was at school, Latin translations anyone? I’ve been watching more of The Paper. I can’t believe Amanda’s date got grounded. I really want to know what latin boy did to have to miss homecoming Still loving Adam and so glad he was the King. I hope one day Alex looks back on these tapes and is throughly ashamed...
Tuesday, not so bad
So I mentioned a while back that if I ever have a child I think Tuesday is a pretty cool name. The husband objects strongly. But have you seen what Angelina wants to call her twins? Castor and Pollox Suddenly Tuesday is looking pretty normal, no?
The Paper
Love it, love it so much. It makes me so happy my high school days are far, far behind me. I’m still loving Amanda she may need to dial it down occasionally but gosh that girl has confidence. The rest are a bunch of back stabbing bad losers, you didn’t get editor in chief, get over it! Apart from Adam who is too brilliant for words, he needs his own show.
Grape Nuts
This is deceptive marketing, something called Grape Nutes should be yummy and maybe have dried grapes in. It’s like sawdust. At least with All bran you know what your getting from the name.
Success →
Okay I managed Number 3 and Number 5, guess that is why I’m not running the country or even working at all!
Serenity Now!
So I am surprised at how calmly I took the bottom falling off the blender sending my mango curry sauce (35 minutes in the making) all over the kitchen. Wow that stuff went everywhere! But I “serenity nowed” and it made me laugh if not feel calm - thank you Seinfeld!
The Internet is not my friend
First it crashed, then blogger stopped working and then I tried to write a blog on evil wordpress, enough said! I’m ready to throw my toys out of the pram! I need the internets to work!
Interview
I have one! Yeah me.
I wasn't expecting that!
Lovely Radiohead has reissued tickets for another concert in August. So hopefully we will see them this time rather than sitting in the car in the rain. Very surprised I thought they’d tell us it wasn’t there problem.
Too Much Computer
I think I have actually pulled something in my finger from rolling the mouse rolly thing up and down, as I scroll posts - I feel there is something tragic about this!
Word of the Day
So who knew umbrage also meant - Shade; shadow; hence, something that affords a shade, as a screen of trees or foliage.
Email Panic
So does everyone write something bitchy in an email, hit send and have a moment of pure panic where you think you sent it to the person you were bitching about not the person you were bitching to?
Not just us then! →
Sad
I’m very sad that House didn’t get TiVo’d, especially as it looked really good. Technology what happened? You let me down your meant to be invincible :( Luckily you got Gossip Girl so I’ll forgive you.
Oh Dear
On my third watching of The X-Files trailer I have worked out that yes I did recognise that accent. It is none other than Billy Connolly. Now I know many poeple think he is a fine actor and loved him in Mrs Brown and other films. But I everytime I hear him I just to start to laugh, I can not watch him in a serious role. I’m hoping this isn’t going to spoilt my X-files enjoyment!

Can not stop singing this!
Orbiting The Weepies You named me judge the day that I was born You asked too much to fix what you had torn Things got out of hand, now I understand And I’m out of your range Now it’s kind of strange How we change orbit in our lives You were kind of a moon outside of my room I could just feel you nearby Now I feel you gone ‘Cause I know what side you’re on And it’s...
Rain
I hate the rain and I hate the fact it made us miss Radiohead. All is not good! I’m off to build an Ark!
Iron Man
So I got dragged to it and it was as good as I expected. Wearing a big suit of iron (or titanium) makes not a superhero. Getting bitten by a radio active spider, however, is a whole different ball game. Trailers were all rubbish too, why do summer comedies feel the need to have the stars doing accents??
Spike and Drusilla
Watching repeats of Buffy. I’d forgotten how much I adore Spike and Drusilla. Drusilla - “Do you love my insides? The parts you can’t see?” Spike - “Eyeballs to entrails, my sweet.”
Girl From Mars
Adam and Joe (best radio show ever) are playing Girl from Mars by Ash. I haven’t heard this song in years. I am right back in 1995, meeting T for the first time and enjoying a long hot summer. It was probably a cold wet summer but in my memory it has become perfect!
