The Ramblings of Guise Dugal

I don’t like Valentines Day. There I said it, I’ve gone on the record and put across that I’m not a fan of the day.
Now, some might consider that this is down to having only recieved two Valentines cards in the past twenty years, since the age of eight was the last time that [...]

Ah, it’s that time of the year again when the young and old get to display their unique, heartfelt feelings by purchasing mass-produced greetngs cards, seasonally advertised flowers, theme packaged chocolates and adorable teddy bears that will get placed in the back of a wardrobe by the end of March. Valentines Day, such a special day of [...]

Today is the day before Valentines Day and all around the world there are some single people desperately wanting a partner to share in the tradition of only declaring their love, and comparing financial value of that love, on a single annual basis.
A lot of sources on the web and in books will tell you [...]

Just some random quotes, I hope I get rhyming out of my head soon.
On Radiance announcing her birthday:
You shout ‘Another year older Radiance, on this very nice day? Better get out the walking stick, to stop the hip breaking away!’
Druidess of the Sands Songward [60] Shouts Elah… there’s the rogue poet again
Lady of Lunra Radiance [...]

A few random conversation pieces from the afternoon and evening occurred that for posterity I’ve added in, some from IMs and some from Legends of Terris.
From Instant Messages first.

Mmm, Tink marinaded…
Tink: i’ve never marinaded before…
Me: ::g:: reeeeeeally, well if you are interested…I’ll get some honey….
Tink: rofl
Me: oh, you mean for cooking, right?
On how to be [...]

Ahh yes, it’s that time of the year again, when some pasty-faced, blonde cow-lick haired, fat-faced midget in a cloth diaper wields arrows tipped in an inhibition-removing substance at the chests of people and fleeces them out of pocketfuls of money. Valentines Day.
Obviously, I’ll just harken back to the 2004 Self-Massacre, as it seems pretty [...]

…umm, that’s Valentines Day Update, not some embarrassing condition. Well, actually, Valentines Day is kind of an embarrassing condition for me…
Red, pink and white. The whole bloody town has shops full of red, pink and white confetti, balloons, banners, streamers and assorted crap for Valentines. What a crock, even mobile phone shops got into it [...]

Ehh, crappy day ahead.
So, my Valentines prank.
The background is that my line manager, Si, was given a king size Mars bar by a female member of staff some time ago, we since joked that she had a thing for him and ‘used’ the Mars bars, and he has never eaten it since.
The member of staff [...]

Even before getting into work, I wished it was the end of the week already. Plus side was lunch, getting enough time to climb the stairs, eat lunch and check up on LJ. Oh, and my letter about CSI jackets and “As Seen On TV” was printed in the staff on-line letters page.
Really hating the [...]

So, Valentines Day is here again. I link back to last year.
I slept badly last night and it’s shown today. I’ve been mopey most of the weekend, today I was just feeling cranky and on edge, and finally ended up with a sharp headache. Well, bah.
I’m feeling anxious about seeing Si tomorrow and the doctor [...]

Valentine’s Day needs to be over soon….
Today is a very special day for couples everywhere. It’s a day devoted to loving your special partner in this world, to spend time together and grow as one, so that your passion can burn stronger and soar like a love struck retarded eagle. Well no, that’s all bullshit. [...]

It wasn’t that awful in town today, considering kids are off for Half Term now and old people insist on continuing with their lives.
Oh, and all those happy darling kewt couples hanging around, hugging and holding plushies and teddies, kawaii! (Granted, quite a few of these were under-educated, underclassed or under-age, and a few of [...]

Came back from going to town.
No second post. Neighbour told me there is no super special Valentines Delivery service.
My neighbour could be jealous and want my attention…but I doubt it…

Well, Mr Postman only delived a few letters today, poor Post Office must need to make a special Valentines Delivery as well as their normal one, cos of all the tender love in the cards.
On the plus, a load of the letters are from girls at like British Telecom, Bristol Water and SWEB. I’m too [...]
