Meaning of Life

The 3 meanings of life are:

1) Getting enough sleep
2) Having people you appreciate appreciate you
3) Knowing what you want

Get those three down pat and you'll be a happy person.

Testing, Testing

Here is a one question personality test.

My personality can be found in the top right hand corner, looking purple and swirly.

My memory

One of the reasons I don't tend to worry about ideas is that I've tended to find that I have more than I know what to do with or will ever use in my lifetime. I have ideas every time my brain gets prodded by something, and then I forget them 3 minutes later unless something about them makes them stick for a bit longer. I used to worry that I was losing valuable ideas and that I'd run out, but there doesn't seem to be any danger of that.

I remember seeing an interview with Neil Gaiman where he said that it's incredibly common for people to come up to him and say "I have an idea for ...". He said that his internal response was that anyone could have ideas, the hard bit was sitting down and making it into a book/comic/film.

I have a similar memory problem, however, with journal entries. They occur at inopportune moments, like when I'm on a train, or at work. I suppose I ought to get a dictaphone or something similar, but the ideal option would be a laptop. Or not having to be at work/on a train at all, so I could just write.

All you need is

Almost 5 years ago I moved into a flat with a few friends (Saint, Hal and Emma, if I remember correctly).

( Thoughts on the nature of love and fear )

Hungry work

Mmm, typing makes me hungry.

Now, if Erin was here, I'd be chopping up a bunch of vegetables, getting some kind of meat and some spices and blending it all into something tasty.

But she's not, so I'm going to grab some fish-fingers, some waffles and a couple of eggs and grilling/frying my way to happiness.

Mmmm.
