Yet another movie this evening (Orange Wednesdays are one of the best ever inventions). And Indian film called ‘Don’. Stylish and raunchy with a few absurd stunts. Worth checking out.
Ah, so, the last entry drew 9 comments! Please have a read of these if you haven’t already. They’re highly interesting.
I believe my relationship with M is officially on the rocks. I feel terrible about it. Horrible. How do you tell somebody you have great feeling for them when you know, that as you think these thoughts, they are curled up with somebody else. What right do you have exactly? That in fact, your fate is only two days away. And there will be a telephone call and it’ll all be over. As though it never happened. What do you do?
The reason I didn’t give M’s character description the same humour as the others is because I was bitter. It had occurred to me earlier that night that what I had been doing for the past two years was giving out my emotions, giving them out so freely and walking into a well I’d eventually find it difficult to come out from. I thought to myself, why is it that M has all of my feelings and I have few of M’s?
So, I admit it, I wanted to make a point. And this has upset M considerably, which I’m able to understand, though I don’t know exactly what has tipped M over the edge where M now appears to be so unreachable.
Another point to mention is that M, of all the people I know, doesn’t require flattery in order to know that what I feel is something far greater than what I should be feeling. And M should know this. And this fact alone granted me the liberty of writing the description the way I did.
I am now required by M to justify my writing, to justify my observations and to justify my emotions. And I would (and am) though I don’t feel they should require justification in order to afford them validation.
This is becoming overly sentimental so I should stop and save the rest for the person to whom it matters most. Though, what remains a fact is that I’m a far better writer than I am a speaker. And this coupled with my inexperience renders me vulnerable. I wish people could understand that.
Moving on…
The documentary producer continues to woo me. It’s flattering that somebody thinks what I have to say is interesting. Indeed, it’s interesting speaking with her. She’s so different to me. But there’s something here I can sense. Something I could learn from this woman. The lessons however need coaxing out of her, but I feel on the verge of some spillage. Glasses at the ready.
Right, day = 70% shit (weather, M, lack of achievement.) 30% good (home is a comfort zone, family are free, food and a good film). Though, 70% it hasn’t been in a very long time.

- This I find to be a very interesting comment... this being the reason I tend to keep myself to myself, and the reason why I don't have a blog to write about my social life, or what goes on behind closed doors. For too much information leaves one vulnerable. I rest my case and never want to be questioned or judged for being the unslag member of the slag group.
I suppose this is my que into Act 2, Scene 1.I am Opehlia, the unslag member of the group - I am an intent listener, and a rather good people watcher. I see the weekness, the lies, the vulnerability of man. If I wanted to, I could talk just as the other members do, but I have always hated conformity. Always rebelled to be different, and in my own way I very much am. I take on board what others have to offer, but never judge for I strongly believe opposites attract and a leaf can be taken from the trivia or ideologies of others.
"I thought to myself, why is it that M has all of my feelings and I have few of M’s?"
- Some people are good taalkers, others are good listeners which brings me back to vulnerability...reveal too much and you pay the price. You are young dear Tainted and so life must go on. M I think realises this, though I hope you manage to reconcile some things as I would very much like to meet her.
Exit stage right with Gin & Tonic in left hand.
- O -
Ophelia!
We need to meet up for a 'soiree' immediately.
First things first. 'Denial'? This comment has narked me off. Tell me exactly what it is that I'm trying to deny? Isn't the fact that I'm writing a blog going against your theory as everything I do is written about. For me, it's a case of express everything, deny nothing. So, please please clarfiy.
Secondly, hmm, the comment about the well is interesting. But my relationship with M cannot be used as a metaphor for this blog. I've known M far longer than this blog has been in existence. What I was trying to say was that I've been giving without receiving when I shouldn't have expected anything in return. This blog, in comparison, gives me an output for my activities (feelings isn't always the correct word). And I get a lot in return. Your comments for a start. Above all else, this blog is an exercise in writing discipline.
As for questioning you about your unslagability, I never have and have always accepted it. Judged!? If i was judging you, you wouldn't be a part of the slag group surely. I'm upset you would think this of me. Talking about your feelings openly does subject you to vulnerability, of course it does, but I think it's far far better than going round and round in circles inside where you risk losing your mind. Sometimes if you say it out a loud, you feel better, even though nobody may be listening.
As for the conformity aspect of your comment, I realy don't think the slags and I are conforming. Where else can you see so many people discussing sex so openly, so freely? We're in the minority. And yes, we all talk about sex, but that doesn't mean we are in any way similar. We are completely different to each other. In fact, I would have said I was most similar in character to yourself.
Dear One,
Such a downhearted tone? You often express the desire to see my vagina, one can't help but wonder, if I show you will your mood lighten...
Yours, as ever,
The Dame
Well that comment not only put a smile on MY face but it made me laugh out loud. Bravo to you!!
Glad to be of service desdemona...

From one M to another: I cried when I read today's entry. I cried tears of anger, frustration and heartbreak.
I do not seek justification of your writing, observations nor, especially, your emotions. What you wrote was ENTIRELY justified and right. And I reacted in the way a dumb creature does when shown itself in a mirror. I have been struggling with that for the last 4 days now, and I am deeply sorry for being unreachable. Truth to tell - I don't want to be reached at the moment. We spoke yesterday and I hope we'll speak again tomorrow.
I cried because it is blantantly clear to me that I have not expressed my feelings for you and about you to you. That's horribly clumsy but it's pouring out now. I thought that you knew how I feel about you but I am mistaken and I am really sorry about that. I hope to put that right tomorrow. In one of the replies earlier someone said that I was eating my cake and having it too. And they're absolutely right. You always knew the situation we were in - at least I think you knew - and could have walked at any time. You didn't. And I'm glad about that. I have learned a lot about a someone I care for (you) and a lot about the darker side of me.
More tears.
How ironic! Scott Joplin's The Entertainer has been usurped by Pachelbel's Canon and Fugue as I sit here writing. From one extreme to the other; just need Bloodhound Gang's Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo to complete the evening!!
And the heartbreaker: "because I was bitter". Like an icicle through the heart that was. Have I really done that to you? We argue, bitch and jest about your way with words (and mine too!) but I do soooo wish that we could have had this conversation sooner. Catastrophe theory says that things go along smoothly, predictably until suddenly an event occurs and the states flip into an alternative smoothness and predictability. Have we reached that point? I think we probably have. There is a lot to talk through and be honest about. Can we do that? That's what I'm hoping for.
Get the phone charged, the tissues out and drinks ready, and make yourself comfortable.
Whatever we agree it will NEVER be "as though it never happened". How could it be? We have shared so much and shaped each other over the last few years. You have changed me and I have changed you. For better or for worse? I think only time will tell. The former I really, sincerely believe.
Speak soon,
M xXx
