I can't be arsed to think of a relevant song reference

[ Posted by Gilly Wed, 16 Apr 2008 11:42:43 GMT ]

This entry might seem a little belated. Thinking about it, it is almost two weeks after I should have written it. But time is all how one perceives it, a meandering river that flows over both flat planes and surges down the most turbulent of rapids.

I picked up the song and saw my picture...

...in the paper. What, I like Elliott Smith lyric references, they make me sound intelligent. Anyway, 'twas 34 days since I last posted, and since I figured you'd all be getting drunk and merry yesterday, I thought I'd post today.

Tonight we're gonna make love. You know how I know? It's Wednesday, and Wednesday is the night that we usually make lurve.

Pancreatitis. DO NOT WANT.

[ Posted by Gilly Sat, 26 Jan 2008 12:42:07 GMT ]

I was set free from my hospital prison on Monday. After an 11 day stint with pancreatitis. And I can now tell you, from first hand experience, that you do not want pancreatitis. No really. It isn't fun.

This is the place where time reverses...

Well, it's been the best part of 2 months since I last updated this blog. And just when you thought this thing was finally dead, here I am clogging up the internet again ;).

In Memoriam

[ Posted by Gilly Sat, 20 Oct 2007 21:37:08 GMT ]

It can all happen in a few seconds. The screech of tyres, the thump on the bumper, the stain of blood on the road; and there ends 6 years of an otherwise happy (and largely overfed) life.

Je suis retourné

[ Posted by Gilly Thu, 06 Sep 2007 20:54:44 GMT ]

That French was probably depressingly wrong, especially given what I got for GCSE. But it matters not; I never have to do a French class again. Anyway, I have returned from the stem cell harvest.
