Play, record
1. Blogpeople, today I felt like being ignored, so I went to Dixons, that emporium of all things technological. I urgently needed a camcorder tape, if you need to know, and that is strictly for professional use. (I haven’t broached that topic with my Special Lady Friend yet.) I love going to Dixons; the inevitable bunch of young guys with half a GCSE between them who stand around chatting always make me feel so welcome! (I’m a girl, girls have no business in Dixons, didn’t you know?) I try to take it as an exercise in self-assertion. Yes. I mentally gave myself 50 points for getting a shop assistant to the till under 3 minutes, with just a raised eyebrow and an insisting glare.
Then this afternoon, after being patronised by the bloke who lent me the camcorder, I gave myself another 50 points for not biting his head off and/or shoving his tripod up his ass, then I made a little movie with my brand new tape; that didn’t feel like the beginning of a new, more glamorous career, but it was fun nevertheless. I've always liked that word.
2. Now I am wondering what’s up with my Special lady friend; she’s not returning my random emails and she’s been sounding a bit.. a bit… something, recently. I hope it’s not me. Maybe there was no point in keeping that camcorder for the weekend after all. Better call her. Be well, all.

Ah yes, Dixons. One thing I definitely do not miss about the good old UK.
I have a small query though : what is the word you've always liked ? "Nevertheless" ? "Fun" ? "Camcorder" ?
Perhaps I'm just being obtuse...
eek at the slf - good luck
nevertheless is a fabulous word, but not as good as trickery
Both good words but my favourite is naked. Not for the obvious reasons, but that helps..
Good luck indeed with your slf. Hope all is well.
half a GCSE between them? You flatterer. Flatterist? It wasn't you, you know that right? All the things that are loving, exciting and to look forward to are wrapped up in you. I'm a moody bugger sometimes.
Hope all is well with the lady.
I'd suggest that you send the camcorder over here, but, really, what am I gonna do with it??
Dixons indeed. They deliberately set out the store in a way designed to confuse, deliberately employ young men with a degree in blank yet condescending stares and they deliberately annoy me. Well maybe not deliberately. But they do. I avoid Dixons like the plague.
