I love all the smell research they do in psych - women being more attracted to the smell of men with more chiselled jaws when they're ovulating, even though they never lay eyes on them etc etc etc (can't be bothered finding the source of that one,sorry). Smell is the most basic of our senses - the first to develop and plays a large role in bonding with our mothers, and generally the last to leave us. As such, it's not surprising (well, really) t

Heya babes. Glad to see you back! Work does have terrible ramifications on one's mental health and general well being and should be avoided at all cost. If this isn't possible, one should skite off as much as one can without losing one's job. How long until the wedding??? How long have you been engaged??? I am so out of the loop! Hope all's well honey, Suz xxx
"You could always get a job at TB." and that usually gets my butt in gear. Oh god yeah. I'm sure all of us who worked in one of these fine establishments knows a colleague that's still working there, even though all the people they began work with have moved on. The epitome of a dead end life. No
Wonderful piece, Sugar. I'm glad you cleared up that you wrote it in high school as I was starting to get confused about your age! I remember thinking similar thoughts when working at McDonald's at 15. If you were taking orders on Drive Through you were put in a tiny box miles away from anyone else, folding happy meal boxes while irrate customers became stuck in a traffic jam caused by their own laziness. The people who took their frustration
Sorry Iconoclast, you're heading in the wrong direction entirely. He competes as a hobby, nothing serious. I don't even know what sort of races he takes part in! Oh, and I'm not saying his last name because there's no need, really, is there? I don't want to provide his personal details as that's not my place and doesn't add to the story at all! Suz xxx
planning to take a trip to South America this summer *Jealous* I can't wait to get to South America. I'm going to have to save for ages so I can go for something like a year. Oh, and perhaps learn some Spanish! My brother has spent a tonne of time there, both travelling and living, and says it's just pa
Dyl! I will write back at greater length tomorrow. Apparently I type too loudly & my sister is getting pissed off! Sorry! See you here soon! Suz xxx
Well... we'll start with the snogging anyway. You never know who's going to read your blog, do you? It was so amazing - more than I ever dreamed, which is a lot. He's just great and everything about it was mind blowing (yes, I do mean everything ) I'll continue with Pt 2 in Normandy. The beach, fancy restaurants, a
and..did that go anywhere by the way, you and Olivier? I know I'm only reading it but It isn't hard to detect definite chemistry. Spill, please! He he. It was my attempt at subtly. Maybe a little too subtle? Yeah, there was chemistry. Lots of it. Lots of snogging with wild abandon and having my
*girlish giggle* Got it in one, babe
It's scary the difference between knowing you'll have more fun if you take your hand off the safety rail, and actually doing it, isn't it? I think I'm down to a couple of fingers, but each time the ride takes a sharp turn my grip seems to instinctually tighten. I wish I could truly realise that it's better to focus on the wind in my hair than the hold I have on what I think is secure. Cause if we're gonna crash, it really makes no difference w
When I peered over Olivier’s shoulder and saw that we were doing 212 km/hr (132.5 miles/hr) I realised that I should have given the fact that he races motorbikes a little more gravity when deciding on this mode of transport. Before jumping on he’d casually said that I just needed to trust that he knew what he was doing, and once we were on the motorway I figured tha
Sounds like mini-skirts are everywhere except near you! I'm in the UK and wear them all the time. Nothing like a mini and some nice heels to turn a few heads
Thanks Kristin! I will be very safe, I promise. And eat lotsa cheese and drink lotsa wine. Joy! You have a good weekend too. Suz xxx
Thanks Mano, You have a good weekend yourself! Suz xxx
Gahhhh! In four hours I'll be on the plane, and in about five I'll be in Paris! I'm excited and nervous and curious and giggly and unable to sit still. It's going to be so, so, so very good. Except for the fact that he's freaked me out about my total lack of knowing any French (and perhaps also English looking at that last sentence). I'm hoping t
Where have you gone, my sweet? I've seen you loitering... Suz xxx
You're a talented man, Champas. You should send this off to be published somewhere - seriously. Brilliant comedy. Suz xxx
Hugs to you Mason. I'm sure you'll be fighting fit and better than ever soon. Take care, Suz xxx
I'm the same as you, Gid. Entirely frustrating for all those who surround us, and pretty damned frustrating for ourselves. I have managed, at one time, to focus my attention for long enough to achieve something, but nowadays I find that being able to focus on the task at hand without all the many linked thoughts blurring my view is very difficult. Sometimes I wish I just didn't see quite as much. But then, I don't think I'd trade a single IQ p
I'm a smoker. I know it's stupid. I don't think that anyone else should be inflicted with my stupidity. I support a ban on smoking in enclosed areas. If that means that I have to go out into the freezing cold to have a fag, then so be it. If I want one that badly, I'll have it and I'll deal. Having a non-smoking section is like having a non-peeing section in a pool (great quote, but can't remember who's it is). However, there is still
Hey little Suz, with your fresh faced glow and naively high hopes! Here's some advice for you... Remember that no one is thinking about you - either good or bad - as much as you think they are. Revel in the freedom this affords you and only worry about thinking good thoughts about yourself. Good question Zoomba!
Gorecki by Lamb If I should die this very moment I wouldn't fear For I've never known completeness Like being here Wrapped in the warmth of you Loving every breath of you Still in my heart this moment Or it might burst Could we stay right here Until the end of time until the earth stops turning Wanna love you until the seas run dry I've found the one I've waited for All this time I've love
I'm telling you, once they have our feet they'll start on our underwear. And perhaps I would be greatful for that. i could really do without the disturbing sight of someone's love handles divided by a thin strap of anal floss - take the thongs away from people wearing low riding trousers! PLEASE! It's hideous and should be regulated. Nice rant, Anglo. Where are you based? I keep trying to figure it out, as you said you studied at Oxford.... an
LOL @ Anglo. Now that's just not very polite, is it? Donna - I would say that I'll watch out, but I don't really see what's wrong with that! Kristin - You got (ridiculously long) mail. May I suggest carb loading and some vitamin supplements before you begin? It's a doozy! Suz xxx
