I seem to have managed to attract two stalkers in almost as many days. Both have contacted me via the
B3ta mess4ging system and have written nothing about themselves in their profile, so it's currently only a one-way stalking. The first appears to be a woman who's just discovering the joys of cybersex and is either extremely hyper or still a teenager. The second provides no information about themselves at all, except that "I have been reading your blog for a while and lurking on B3ta for ages and have enjoyed reading your views and opinions." I mentioned this to Alex who said he'd received an identical message. Curious, he asked if anyone else was also a recipient, and it seems that yes, we aren't alone. The plot thickens...
My back's been a lot better today, luckily. However I was in agony by the time arrived home this afternoon as there was great pain in my hips and at the top of my left thigh. I hope this is due to the back and not just a random occurrence of which there shall be many more. Rory said that I needed to start doing yoga and he's right. I was looking through the regional arts listings magazine yesterday and there's a belly dancing class starting a few streets away on a Monday night, which sounds interesting, I could meet some good people there I expect. Whilst it's not exactly yoga, it is a form of exercise and thus is Good.
I finished reading
Jeanette Winterson's
Art and Lies last night. All her work makes me want to go and confess my undying love to her. She stirs passion and sympathy and desire and admiration and envy in me. She seems to have deep, thorough knowledge of every aspect of life, and can make her reader care deeply about a subject they previously had no knowledge of. She makes me want to go and learn everything the world can teach me, though I did already want to do that anyway, so I suppose she just reminds of my unquenchable thirst for it. I could go on, but I believe I've written at length before about how perfect her books are, so it would be worthless repeating myself for the sake of it. I can't recommend her enough though.
