Something Positive

This reminds me of so many ex-girlfriends, it's almost not funny. Almost ;)

Desperate measures

I'm starting to think that I can't go on like this for much longer. If things don't improve by the end of the month, I''m considering moving back to Bahrain for a bit. I can't stand Bahrain... it would be fair to say I hate it, even... but I'm running out of things. Like energy, hope, the ability to carry on a conversation, laughter (who put a cap on laughter? I demand free unlimited laughter for all). And at least in Bahrain I have friends and family to keep an eye on me.

It stills feels like giving up though, and always will.

At least it's sunny.

Meh. I hate the sun.

"It'll take a miracle!"
"Luckily, he's only mostly dead."

Snow problem

...but at least it's snowing again! Yeeeeee!! I love snow so much. I can't remember the last time I saw snow (having lived recently in London- therefore pollution and no snow- or Brighton- coastal town, no snow) but I think it might have been 2001. I hope it stays, I hope it settles, I hope all the schools close, there are snowfights in the streets, and that the government collapses into anarchy! Oops, did I say that out loud?

Ham, my best friend in Bahrain, is 28 and has still never seen snow. He has now vowed not to see snow until he can save up the money, get a holiday to some snow-covered mountains somewhere, possibly Switzerland, and throw himself into a snow drift.

The Brazilians who live in my house are also frantically excited, having never seen snow before.

It has never snowed in Bahrain in recorded history and barring a global Ice Age it never will.

This post will self-destruct in five seconds by folding into an improbable origami jellyfish. That is all.

Interlude

And while I'm watching the snow flurries through my window, and trying to decide what to do next... unemployment is less fun when it's unplanned... here's another poem I wrote:
