Hang on, if she was Mrs Mags, wouldn't that make her my wife? My Oedipus complex has been in remission since i started taking the new medication thank you very much, and i'd thank you not to talk about it where any one can read about it!
What ever happened to patient - bug confidentiality?
Yeah, it's my mum, and she has made her own poi. Rock.

You'd have to ask her.
And yes, they're knee high nylon poi. With tennis balls. And she sewed handles on to them.

Here it is folks, yet another pointless post detailing the dullness of my life. Are ya ready and strapped in? Ok then.
Having spent pretty much the whole day online yesterday, i probably lost my mind without truly realising it. Once again i proved myself to be a useless human being, unable to even lend the ear of sympathy to a friend without bringing her down even more by being tactless, thoughtless and relatively pointless.
Blushing and annoyed with myself, i turned to yet another addictive substance, the PS2, and played Vice City until i could stand no more, and dived into bed with Iain Banks. (As you do).
Got woken up at some ungodly hour by my eeeeeeevil children shouting and jumping on me. I sacrificed them to Satan and finally got some peace. Then they woke me up again! Honestly, it's like being harried by a pack of hyenas. Dragged myself out of bed and fed the little imps, and drank a cup of non earl gray tea. In all, a bad start to the day. Still, at least i can have a nice bifter. Aaaaaaah.
Happy Wednesday tout le monde.

*bows to Beth* My pleasure. And top marks to oli for being resourceful and bringing his own bags. Were you ever in the scouts Oli?

August 26th 1.17am
Life feels nice. After taking the kids into town to do some shopping, and optimistically buying loads of veg from the greengrocers, i sat down to think of cunning ways to get them to eat them. Settled on an easy one for tonight, sausage and mash and peas. They normally eat mainly chips and stuff, so i figured some fresh spud'd do them good. Izzy ate the lot. Rhe ate the sausage. I swear if that kid didn't have such a great round belly she'd never survive. Still, what can you do eh? (I could sell them to Bug....)
I guess at some point in the last few days i made the realisation that despite my battling to swim against the tide my life has turned on, i'm really not getting anywhere, and sometimes the best thing is to take a deep breath, turn round, and go with the flow. In Mojo i found someone who truly makes me happy, and that's an experience i totally recommend to everyone. With a bit of luck the two of us will be together again some day (soon would be good
) but until then there's little to be gained by pressing the issue.
She came over this evening. My friend Steve was already here, he'd come over about 5ish after finishing work. Quality chap. We played Vice City for a little bit, then watched some anime called Memories, produced (and partially directed by) Katsuhiro Otomo, the guy who did Akira and bits of the Animatrix. And lots of other amazing stuff. Twas very SF, very odd, and very cool, with exquisite artwork throughout. Watched it in japanese with english subs. Amazingly epic soundtrack too. Hmmm. So cool.
It felt so nice being with Mojo. Everything just seemed to cease mattering, and we could just be happy together without worrying about what was going to happen next. Steve left to cadge a lift with his parents, and we cuddled until she had to go home to sleep.
I'm smiling. A lot. I am fully aware that a bit of physical and emotional contact doesn't change a thing. That very knowledge makes the whole experience that much nicer. I understand my position now, and i can get a grip on my life for the first time in a while. It's been spinning a little bit recently. Kind of like the way your head still spins when you get off the waltzer, and you can't quite make out which way is down.
Something tells me everything's gonna be ok.
I am leaving this post on auto-hug. If you've just read it, consider yourself hugged.
Be happy.

I am constantly amazed that people actually want to spend large chunks of their lives reading about mine. But i'm flattered too.
The point of this diary is not just to help me deal with temporary pain and emotional discomfort, it's also an excersise in openness, to see how transparent i can be. It's also good writing practice to be perfectly honest, and i don't think i could break the habit if i wanted to.
I have never understood life. It seems at it's basest to be ultimately pointless and self-defeating. Birth, procreation, death. Life begets life in an endless cycle not to acheive anything as such; but just to have done it. How can something be so ultimately intangible, yet form the focal point of our thoughts for the bulk of the time that we are able to form thoughts.
I will endeavour to make my life as interesting as possible so that you have something to read, whatever your motivation to read may be.
I'll start tomorrow. Or maybe the next day.
I'll just skin up first.

Hello there,
Found this here diary and have just spent quite a while reading through all your posts. Its amazing how captivating reading someone's personal thoughts can be, despite the fact that you are a complete stranger.
I also have come to the conclusion that it wouldn't actually be so interesting if your diary was a positive one. Reading about other people's pain can help you put your own problems into perspective.
Insights into your relationship with Mojo has really reminded me of problems i had with my ex. Except the boot was on the other foot for me. I was with him for a few years, then when we split up he basically behaved like you have.
I still loved him, but for certain reasons just couldnt be with him any more. It pained me to put him through what i did- but for my own sanity i had to. A year on he seems to be in the same place that he was last year, however, my feeling have changed. Everytime he calls me to moan and cry at me my respect for him weakens. I dread speaking to him now as its just so hard. Staying friends with him is all i ever wanted, but its becoming too hard. I just thought that i would share that with you as i am sure that its not what you want with mojo. I'm just saying be careful.
I hope that i havent annoyed you or pissed you off with my 2 cents. Good luck, be happy

Hey Mags,
Well, you sound cheery today
Life is fairly pointless. We come into this world, distract ourselves with tasks (like reading your diary ), or religion, or playing with fire, or worse still 'love' - and then we die. We examine our lives and that of those around us, not only because we can, but because we want to see if there is anything more.
We are all part of that continuous cycle... 'shuffling towards the grave'... but as for understanding it, or a reason for it - lol, I haven't got that far yet
I guess one reason we are here is procreation (so you can sit back and relax
), but then, we are also the single most destructive thing on this planet... destroying our habitat through our own inherent greed and selfishness.
I suppose that points to an inherent stupidity too.
Ahem... cheeriness prevails
Mo - I see you've registered (at least, I'm guessing that's you). Hope you're ok and things are less confusing.
Take care both of youse
xx

Hi all Mags' friends, I've been following the saga with great interest, you all make a lot of good sense, are you listening Son?
I'm slowly learning to swing, wish I had someone to teach me more, but I look at the free lessons and practice them when only the dogs are with me. They think I'm nuts, but at least they don't laugh. I might know the rellies mentioned. Melbourne is a large city but a small town - work that one out. You have to be very careful not to bad-mouth someone here or you might just find you're talking to his auntie!
Gotta get back to work, I'll look in again over the w/e. Happy poi-ing everyone. Maybe one day we'll meet up. This is for you, Magnus.
Bye for now

There's loads of lovely poi people in Melbourne, Mag's mum, and I'm sure some of them would be delighted to meet you and teach you some stuff, it's much easier to learn that way!
I know what you mean with the large city, small town thing. Belfast is the same... without the good weather, stunning scenery, laid back people... errr
Ok, take care

Friday August 27th
Ok, so yesterday I got stoned, played with the kids, posted on here and vegged about. Then Mojo came over, mid-afternoon, and the four of us went into town to buy food. The hole-in-the-wall has now stopped giving me money. Probably because i'm about £220 over my agreed overdraft limit of £1600. And the rent's due on Wednesday. Hahahahaha. If i didn't laugh i'd have a nervous breakdown i think.
Came home, cooked for the kids. Fed kids. Cooked steak and potatoes for me and Mojo. Invented new way of cooking carrots. Et voila:
1) Slice carrots any way you like. I cut em into little square/rhomboid shapes.
2) Melt a knob of butter in a pan. Put the kettle on to boil
3) Fry carrots in butter for a couple of minutes. Mix up about 1/3 of a pint of boiling water with a vegetable Oxo cube
4) add veg stock to carrots and simmer for about 5 minutes.
5) Drain and serve
Lovely.
Probably not new to the world, but new to me. Went down well.
Put the kids to bed and played a quick game of backgammon on zone.com while Mo went home to feed the cats. She came back around 9ish with a dvd (Sandra Bullock movie called "28 Days", actually pretty good - amazing supporting cast) which we watched while drinking lots of tea.
By the time it had finished and we'd cuddled and watched some truly bizarre crap on tv it was quite late, so she stayed over. We cuddled a bit, but went to sleep pretty quickly.
I woke up this morning with her cuddling me. Felt like i'd died and gone to heaven. How can something that feels so right, be wrong? (And that surely must be a song lyric. Someone must have put that in a country song or something equally cheesy.)
Mo realised she had about 20 minutes to get ready for her driving lesson, rang the instructor to give him the change of pick-up point and dived into the bathroom while i made the tea. She kissed me goodbye and said she'd be back later. Felt nice.
She will be back later. She's forgotten her jumper.
Isabelle is tweaking my nose, so i'm going to go and tie her to the lightning conductor of the local church to answer her questions about whether or not there is a God. Then i suppose i'd better feed her. And Rhe. Don't want you to think i don't feed her. She just doesn't eat.
Am in a strange mood today. Happy with sad overtones. Like a two-tone suit, but with emotions instead of garish colours. I guess because of being so close with Mojo, yet in the knowledge that we're not together. It'll take a bit of getting used to, but it's worth it.
Have just sent a mail to Stranger Magazine. I know very little about them (apart from what's on the site) but they posted on my college forums looking for writers, so what the hell.
Lots of love (and other indoor sports)
Friday August 27th
Ok, so yesterday I got stoned, played with the kids, posted on here and vegged about. Then Mojo came over, mid-afternoon, and the four of us went into town to buy food. The hole-in-the-wall has now stopped giving me money. Probably because i'm about £220 over my agreed overdraft limit of £1600. And the rent's due on Wednesday. Hahahahaha. If i didn't laugh i'd have a nervous breakdown i think.
Came home, cooked for the kids. Fed kids. Cooked steak and potatoes for me and Mojo. Invented new way of cooking carrots. Et voila:
1) Slice carrots any way you like. I cut em into little square/rhomboid shapes.
2) Melt a knob of butter in a pan. Put the kettle on to boil
3) Fry carrots in butter for a couple of minutes. Mix up about 1/3 of a pint of boiling water with a vegetable Oxo cube
4) add veg stock to carrots and simmer for about 5 minutes.
5) Drain and serve
Lovely.
