Long time no updates. It’s true, what with servers dropping on and off the net, my current motivational frenzy for earning money and other less broadcastable pursuits I have been unable to jot down my doings.

My day was made the other day when salt-of-the-earth, Stoke-on-Trent Big Issue seller Paul professed his love for me. The poor chap was taking some abuse from the stoney faced Sydney commuters in their rush to get home unhindered so I dived in, beaming widely and said loudly “Hey Paul, are people being rude to you?”, he seemed quite relieved for the intermission, and his face began to relax into a smile.
“It’s nice to be nice I tell ’em” he said in his Midlands accent. As I bought a copy of the paper, he grasped my hand, kissed it and said earnestly “I love you”, although immediately afterwards shyly recoiled a little. I think we were almost equally surprised at his confession, but it was a genuine moment and I was glad to receive it. I find you can’t get too much attention (drawing the line at stalking I suppose), even if your admirer is getting on a bit and has a tendency toward alcoholism. Actually sounds a lot like my last boyfriend, hrm.

I hope to get a little more wordy and write about my trip to the Outback Eclipse Festival when I return in just over a week’s time. Hasta Leugo and don’t let anyone cago en le leche.
