YES FINALLY I think I have found a typeface I like: Times enlarged a little. Gives my blog a distinctive look and feel. Don't know that I've seen another Blogspot blog use it...
Though I still think it has that old-fashioned kind of 1910 newspaper ambience.
WELL I've been sitting here for quite a while having fun with the next blog button up top and writing hello messages to people I come across whose blog looks interesting... there's quite some selection out there!! (oh state the obvious why don't you, Gled!)... no but seriously I've found some pretty good ones I've written all the urls down for future use (I call this "bookmarking". But to be honest I'm not too sure how proper "bookmarking" - the electronic variety - works...)
Hmmm, there's no chaos around me tonight. No confusion. Which kind of makes an unusual change. Don't tell me everyone in my house is SOBER!! Surely not?!?
Came in this evening to be accosted instantly by one voice from the bathroom: have I got a cigarette? (No: only rollies.) Get upstairs. Another voice instantly confronts me asking for spare drugs! The cheek of it!! By this same person who knocked on my door after midnight enquiring whether I knew anyone with crack cocaine for sale...?!! (This coming from someone who knows probably twenty times more crack contacts than me because I hardly use it. This is the guy who goes mental. The one howling like a wild animal that night...) I do find it annoying being sponged off, even attemptedly, like that. What is WRONG with these people? I'm so glad I've stuck within certain perameters in life. Ie I generally keep myself to myself, and for the greater part of time stick by the old maxim to "never a borrower or a lender be" - it keeps life immensely simpler, believe me!
I have nothing else to say about such vulgar people.
PS Just found a thing called RandomBlog.blogspot.com - brings up some really bizarre things. But you CANNOT READ THE URL; it's blocked from the top of the screen. So what's the point in that??
I rather like the Times font now. FOr some reason it doesn't look like the Times that we use in the States; it is as you say: old-fashioned in a positive way!
ReplyDeleteMy ex-girlfriend Debbie described her former life as an addict in much the same way as you describe life in your house -- it seems to me that, if one is a daily crack smoker, the cravings must drive one to some pretty bizarre behavior, especially when one's supply has been exhausted. When I talked to her a few days ago she complained of much the same thing, especially her brother and sister always pressuring her for a hit, wanting to know if she has any crack, etc. It's not an easy life. (She had it sooooo good when she was with me and now she realizes that!)
