I'm as much fun as a Buddhist nun -- fun is in the eye of the beholder, you know?

Very much so, which is why one of my mottos for life is 'Do you like fun?'. I'm about as much fun as being delayed for a night at an empty airport.

an empty airport?!? That would be fun!! I'm a bit of a sensitive and am one of THOSE types who considers herself
'alone in a crowd' -- sort of unto myself you might say...
If the airport were empty and I had the run of the place I'd go exploring! It's not that I don't like to share, it's
just that I almost always prefer solitude. Few exceptions.
It's my nature.

You might have a point with the exploring the empty airport. I can see where you're coming from. Wherever you are there's questions need asking; Just where do the cases go? How sensitive are the bleepy things? Where do they get the fake tan for people who work there?
And you could the traditional film escapade on the plane-boarding-ladders. Nice.On the solitary thing, I kind of see what you mean. I need to be alone a lot, more than other people I know. I sit alone writing. Every night. Got a nice bit of Mark Twain to read tonight. But if I didn't have my friends I'd be lost.

Ahhhhh! Samuel Clemens... required reading mayhaps? I'm wondering what you are writing??? I'm an inquisitive type.
I am a true loner -- I was born that way. If I were a Western movie I'd be the 'drifter' passing through the town...
Also, what was your final mark on the dyspraxia paper?

Actually, I'm quite proud to say that I'm reading Twain off my own bat, which is nice so I can take it at my own pace, my own speed and not (really) have to worry about it. I've not got my mark back yet, it might have arrived today but I was not well enough to go in (bit of a hangover, but more of a stomach bug carried through from yesterday morning - I'd like to think it was morning sickness) Bob Dylan was the loner passing through town in a Western, too, y'know. I'd be the guy who accidentally get shot in the saloon (its just below the shoulders, y'know. Boom. Boom.)
What do I write? I suppose like everybody, I just try and put things into words on paper, under the impression that they're better at it than they are at speech. I don't really know. So what do you do with yourself when you're alone? You can only read for so long...

like I said: I'm quite deadly dull my friend, I belong in a monastery, truth be known... and this particular desert holds little interest for me -- compared to (for example)when I lived in Arizona for 5 years... but this is not helping you to understand what I do when alone... mmmmm...
mostly mundane stuff -- I take great joy in the mundane activities of life. I care very little about trying (anymore) to fit into the working world. I just don't belong there. I suppose I sit. And ponder. Living all of daily life AS IF it were one long Japanese tea ceremony...
Are you asleep yet? I suppose I will justify my inactivity
with a (sort-of) Zen philosophy, such that: When there is nothing to do, do nothing. I enjoy going for drives in the car. I like speed and motion and having no destination other
than to be driving. There are long stretches out here in the desert -- that's what I like. Oh -- AND I like going to the library to write to a certain cyber-friend in the UK!
Thanks for being a pen-pal... Your fan, d. (I believe you will be a writer! -- what will you write?) I'm currently reading: After the Plague by: T.C. Boyle (collected stories)

grrrrrr. sorry about the blank post -- I have an itchy trigger-finger sometimes. I get my news and info mostly from radio. I like: artbell.com He's on five nights a week.
There's a toll-free number for the UK -- you should call in!
The show is mostly paranormal, metaphysical topics. I don't
really get into subjects like Bigfoot or aliens -- that's not me at all...

I, first of all, ought to say that I'm genuinely touched. I'm also topless, but that's because my shirt was itching. I'll look into artbell.com, but I doubt I could ever call in, because as much as I would like my voice to be heard, I wouldn't want people to hear my voice.
As for the just travelling with no destination, I wouldn't say it was a hobby of mine - I far more often sit here listening to Stevie Wonder with a glass of port (Honestly! The things he says when he's had one too many!) but I do enjoy it. Especially here in Norwich where I can go any which way I choose. Walking, mind, I can't drive, I'm the kind of character who'd make a really bad driver. I think (at least for me) its the sense of being uncontactable, really, away from the trappings of the modern world which, whilst making me happy on so many levels, also make me think how inferior my life is to those who experience rather more.
And I have to admit that I do get a little glow when you've replied. Its coming to the point where this is always my first port of call when I log on, and you can take almost sole credit for that.
