If anyone has any suggestions as to what to do with the boy, they would be greatly appreciated.<\/p>\n<p>Messenger is down, effectively cutting me off from my main form of communication. I&#8217;m leaving Yahoo on, though with only two contacts, one of whom has no working computerbox at the moment, it seems a rather vain hope. Sitting here, I&#8217;ve got Radiohead softly playing and there are no sounds from outside. It would be lonely if I paid attention to it, but the pale light distracts me, keep me looking at my computer keys. It&#8217;s washed out, but this morning for some reason I can see detail slightly more crisp. I&#8217;m holding on to it.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t remember what I have booked for this week. I know Wednesday night&#8217;s promised to Alistair, but that&#8217;s really it. There&#8217;s no timeline fluidly unfolding in my brain, though I know that I must have made plans. Gavin arriving has thrown me, my linear thought&#8217;s become a little unfocused. At the moment he&#8217;s a crumpled lump under my covers that I&#8217;m uncertain how I feel about. He asked me a question yesterday, something he picked up from someone he hitch-hiked out with, &#8220;A woman is at her sister&#8217;s funeral and she sees this incredibly attractive man there. Her eyes are glued to him, but afterwards he gets lost in the mix and she can&#8217;t find him. The woman then goes to killer her other sister. Why would she do it?&#8221; He didn&#8217;t even get to finish the question before I blurted out the incredibly obvious answer, &#8220;To see the man again&#8221;. Unsurprisingly, the right answer. When he was asked, he fumbled, not knowing why. Apparently it&#8217;s a test to catch psychopathy. I think it also catches pragmatics. Pragmatics with <i>daddy fucked me and I liked it<\/i> desktops. We of us who&#8217;ve got stranger levels of indifference through internet use.<\/p>\n<p>My bruises from dancing are visible now. Patches of plum and yellow the size of plum pits. They line the back of my legs like tattoos. That, and I think I&#8217;ve confirmed the carpal tunnel\/tendonitus or whatever the frag it be. Puffy flesh and shooting pains from the slightest things. Time to switch hands on the mouse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It seems that today is some sort of National Turkey Day. Hooray for the Queen!
