Tomorrow I am handing in my notice at work after 8.5 years to go freelance. WOOP!

I feel horrendously bad about abandoning my colleagues and am slightly concerned that the guilt might destroy me... also am absolutely bloody terrified of something going wrong. Woop :p

Don't feel guilty Emma, you have to do what is best for you

Got a sewing machine to use!

the belt for the motor has started to perish after being in my mates loft for about 18 years and looks very likely to break

My former bunnies have a new home. Obviously this is excellent news as it means they won't be living the rest of their days in the rescue, but it also makes me sad as it reminds me of how I failed them

You didn't fail them.

If anything, your ex failed them, as he told you AFTERWARDS that he could have kept them.

Could have but simply didn't want to. He's a d*ck.

Today, i had a letter from the post office and they said that the red card that was posted, was put there in error. i'm glad that this matter has been resolved. However, they got my title wrong as they referred to me as Mr.

Not the last time that i spoke to my maternal aunt but the time before, she said that Diane and Michael are divorced. i wasn't surprised as she mentioned a couple of years ago that they split up. She also said that she's met Alan/ Diane's new boyfriend and that he's lovely. i remember that she's mentioned Alan at least once before.

A few weeks ago, i told Marc that on another forum that isometimes post on, i have some nicknames that refer to how i'm good at finding posts and threads. He said that he was proud of me. But a couple of days after that, he asked if i'm not bored with forums.

i post on 3 other forums apart from VR. There used to be 2 other forums that i posted on. i joined one in 2014. And the other in February of 2015. i haven't posted on the 2015 one since November. i can't remember the last time i posted on the 2014 forum but i never posted there that much. i tended to look at threads there more than post in them. On the 2015 forum, they have a thread called Members You Miss?. On the 17th of December, someone said that it seemed that i hadn't posted for some time. And a minute after, someone else posted and said that he remembered me. i wouldn't say that i'm bored with those forums, though. More that i'm trying to avoid looking at the 2014 one as it hurts too much and it would hurt to post. i can cope with looking at some of the 2015 one but it hurts too much to post there as well. Also, the thing of me looking at the 2015 one, reminds me of what Dan said of page 56 of the Now thinking thread that's on page 2 of Spam.

Edit: Also, something that Marc told me in December. i was happy to see Pearl the dog, Titan the dog, Luna the cat and Kyo the cat at Christmas. Marc told me that Titan kicked Pearl a couple of times. i should have noticed that but i didn't. i s'pose it was because he was excited to see me. And i feel guilty because Titan is a lot bigger/ younger than Pearl. i think that i didn't notice because of how happy i was to see her. Well, that and because i have bad eyesight.

Yesterday, i ended up telling Marc that i don't look in the mirror because i'm shy. So he said that i'm pretty and that made me feel special/ more special.

But perhaps it's more like i'm shy/ deformed. i didn't say about being deformed to Marc because i was embarrassed. i feel rubbish about myself because of what happened in November. And i sometimes think that it happened because of what i look like.

A few days ago, Marc found my River Phoenix magnet. So he put it on the fridge. i must have had that magnet since something like 2007.

shane made me it. i think that i shouldn't have been friends with him, partly because he was horrible about my birthday.

Yesterday, i saw a car. It was blue and had flowers on it. And the address hippymotors.co.uk. i thought it looked pretty as it was psychedelic. But it had the following cheesy slogan written on it: Powered by fairy dust.

A few weeks ago, Marc and i ended up bonding because his mother likes moaning at him and my father likes moaning at me. So we shook hands. Bonding is nice but having moany parents is annoying.

Marc said that he was impressed that i heard the conversation at the comic book stall, the one that i mentioned in my Things that i have overheard thread. Because even though he was there, he said he didn't listen.

As i've said before, the word impressed reminds me.

A couple of weeks ago, Marc and i went to the Chinese takeaway. They have fish there, in a tank.

And Marc saw one of his friends. i'm not keen on three of his friends and that was one of the three.

Marc sometimes points at me in a funny way. i s'pose it's an in-joke. Ereyesterday, we were talking about it and he said that he was impressed that i could point but keep a serious face. It makes me feel special when i impress anyone but, as i've said a couple of times before, the word impressed reminds me of what happened in November.

Yesterday, i told Marc that i have a washing up sponge colour system. At the moment, i use the green sponges for the washing up and the pink sponges for cleaning the sink. Marc said that he was impressed. The word impressed still reminds me.

i'm looking after Herman the tortoise at the moment.

Yesterday, i noticed that he weed in his tank, on his newspapers/ bedding. So i picked him up and then i realised that he was having a poo. So i cleaned Herman and changed his newspapers/ bedding. He tried to bite my feet a couple of times so i put him back in his tank. i ended up changing one page from the newspapers/ bedding again because he weed on it.

i love Herman but he can be a nuisance sometimes.

A few days ago, Marc said that he liked my skirt and that it was nice to see me in something new. i wore the skirt again as i've worn it a couple of times in the past few days. And he said the same thing again today. Back-handed compliments.

Yesterday, Marc said the word bat'leth. And he said he was trying to impress me.

The word impress reminds me, everything reminds me.

i don't know if that makes any sense but that's how i feel.

I am quitting my job and moving back in with my parents.

Wow, when are you moving?

Marc and i were watching The Big Bang Theory a few hours ago and they mentioned Bill Nye The Science Guy. Marc pointed out that Bill Nye has been mentioned before and he said that he mentioned that because he was trying to impress me. It's nice that he would try to impress me. It just p***es me off that the word impress reminds me of what happened in November 2015.

I tried some fresh beetroot for the first in a long time this week. It was so much better than the pickled sliced beetroot I had a few weeks a go in a cafe restaurant.

I am looking forward to cooking some leek today (which again is another long time thing), with chicken thighs.
