Voyeurism for beginners

Or to put it in a rather less suc­cinct but more under­stand­able way: Recent Mundane Activ­it­ies I Have Under­taken For Which I Sud­denly Appear To Have Gained An Unex­pec­ted Audi­ence (All Appar­ently Appre­ci­at­ive, Though Vary­ing In Number):

• Sleep­ing.
• Hav­ing a night­mare.
• Eat­ing por­ridge.
• Stand­ing (albeit on one leg).
• Watch­ing Ame­lie (again) on DVD.
• Watch­ing Eternal Sun­shine of the Spot­less Mind (again) on DVD.
• Watch­ing Lost in Trans­la­tion (yet again) on DVD.
• Shav­ing.
• Typ­ing.
• Singing.
• Hav­ing a hissy fit.
• Exper­i­en­cing an attack of raging, incom­pre­hens­ible jeal­ousy.
• Drink­ing cof­fee.
Scrib­bling on post-it notes.
• Bitch­ing.
• Blog­ging for fun.
• Blog­ging for work.
• Blog­ging for profit (but that one is a lie).
• Talk­ing to an Abyssin­ian cat.
• Buy­ing a wed­ding gift.
• Garg­ling.
• Avoid­ing mak­ing and receiv­ing phone calls.
• Froth­ing with grat­it­ude.
• Being dull and uninteresting.

Per­use yet more mean­ing­less lists here, if you want.

    I think my spray can and I might be respons­ible for some of those. *cough*

    Watch­ing, watch­ing, watch­ing. Jeal­ousy is an incom­pre­hens­ible bitch­ing night­mare (but one that is a lie). Yet again garg­ling with por­ridge, sleep­ing with, receiv­ing and wed­ding a singing Abyssin­ian (again) for work, exper­i­en­cing a stand­ing raging one froth­ing for profit (lost in trans­la­tion), hav­ing eternal dull and unin­ter­est­ing phone calls, shav­ing one hissy cat for fun, attack­ing the spot­less Ame­lie DVD… you are exper­i­en­cing blog­ging, eat­ing and drink­ing blog­ging (albeit on one leg of your mind) and I am talk­ing to, typ­ing on post-it notes, scrib­bling with eternal grat­it­ude, for the gift of blog­ging (avoid­ing sun­shine and cof­fee again).

    Jack, I know for a fact that your spray can is respons­ible for the graf­fiti cur­rently adorn­ing the front shut­ters of the kebab takeaway on the ground floor of my block: “UNRELIABLE WITNESS LIVES FIVE FLOORS ABOVE HERE”. For­tu­nately, no one knows who I am round here, nor is aware of my blog­ging notoriety.

    Blath­er­skite, I would like some of whatever you are on, please. In tab­let form.

    An Unreliable Witness | 01.25.07, 12:13

    So it’s not just me that is being spied upon. I see.

    Timbo | 01.25.07, 13:59

    We are all being spied upon, Timbo. All of us. By the elves. Oh yes.

    An Unreliable Witness | 01.25.07, 14:41

    It’s the twelves you gotta watch.…

    Cheerful One | 01.25.07, 15:29

    Lists are never meaningless.

    NO THEY ARE NOT!

    They bring mean­ing to an oth­er­wise point­less and ran­dom existence.

    I like lists.

    I like your list.

    (I will keep my eyes peeled for the graf­fiti and when I find it, I will leave small offer­ings out­side your door. Then you really will be wor­ried about the elves. Although I have sort of scuppered myself by telling you. Humph.)

    Miss Tickle | 01.25.07, 15:50

    Miss Tickle, lists are not mean­ing­less, no. Although I would hes­it­ate to take mine to Tesco in order to do the weekly shop, because I dread to think what I’d come home with.

    P.S. You will notice that I have stopped being aloof and mys­ter­i­ous, and have star­ted reply­ing to com­ments and talk­ing to you, my dear read­ers. I learned everything I know from Andre Jordan (of Andre Jordan fame) and Cheer­ful One. This is not just a cheap and pathetic attempt to make me look pop­u­lar by increas­ing the num­ber of com­ments. I am not that shal­low. Ish.

    This is not just a cheap and pathetic attempt to make me look pop­u­lar by increas­ing the num­ber of comments’

    Are you sug­gest­ing that is what I do?

    How scan­dal­ous!!!

    andre | 01.25.07, 17:13

    I would *never* sug­gest that’s what you do! I am merely learn­ing from the mas­ter and mis­tress of con­tinu­ing a dia­logue with one’s val­ued read­ers. Now, would any­one like tea and a cream bun?

    An Unreliable Witness | 01.25.07, 17:18

    Did someone men­tion a bun?

    anxious | 01.25.07, 20:21

    I decided earlier it was def­in­itely a pork pie kind of day.But thanks for the offer.

    hippocampus | 01.25.07, 23:22

    Con­grat­u­la­tions. I expect it’s going to get very busy around here, very soon. But it is too cruel that you and andre are in the same cat­egory. I won’t even attempt to decipher the rami­fic­a­tions of Girl.

    asta | 01.26.07, 03:59

    So the pimp­ing worked!

    Con­grats. But ooh, ouch, to be in com­pet­i­tion with a close friend…

    Reminds me of when Zoe and Vit were up against one another.

    Clare | 01.26.07, 07:49

    You will notice that I have stopped being aloof and mysterious”

    Is that an instruction?

    (I take my tea black without sugar, please and thank you)

    Fussy Bitch | 01.26.07, 08:47

    Con­grat­u­la­tions mate.

    I am truly delighted for you.

    and as they say “Break a leg”

    andre | 01.26.07, 10:46

    TTTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

    Yes please. Belated I know.

    Miss Tickle | 01.26.07, 11:07

    Thanks all … I am off to break a leg, as per Mr Jordan’s instruc­tions, though I am at least aim­ing to keep this one fully attached to the rest of my body.

    And Miss Tickle? I make lovely tea. Lovely. Though with sweetener instead of sugar now. I am a good boy.

    An Unreliable Witness | 01.26.07, 12:14

    G’luck AUW. But sweetener? YUCK!

    fionat | 01.26.07, 15:11

    This list alone has me feel­ing seat-wettingly compelled…
