I've written before about...

this site that I used to enjoy writing at...

I've not been there for a while as I find some of the stuff people write is just so painful to read. I think that speed writing microficion is a very fun thing... If you're not familiar with it then the jist is... each day they give you a random word... and then 30 seconds to write something about it/ including it... the word of the day only shows up on your screen as the timer starts....


While reading my blog's visitor logs the other day, I noticed that someone visited my blog via my writing that I did for the word pendant:

I need a little something. a little piece of harmony for the soul... like a delicate pendant on a necklace... oh so barely there. Hanging around, having a purpose.

Thank you to them for doing that... I had forgotten that I had written that, and I find it quite pretty.

well it was a close one a few weeks back...

but this week... they got it. the baddies got my bike... Double locked to a massive steel pole outside the pub 5 minutes from my house... my baby was snatched. Must have been pros as there was no trace of it... no broken locks no nothing it just vanished. *sigh*

It's now with my insurance people to hopefully sort out. What a pain... I wonder if hallmark makes a card for this sort of incident... 'we're sorry for the loss of your bike' ?

Perhaps it happened for a reason... perhaps I would have been shmucked on my way in today if I had of rode... who knows... I leave it to the fates... perhaps they were on my side after all

no more news from my mad emailer... I'm thinking It could be my friend Christie... but who knows... I know they come from a Canadian ISP as I can trace that back... Thanks to Jeffie for helping me do some detective work

what a strange week this has been... strange emails... death... stolen bikes... oh yea I forgot to write about how my uncle died ... I never knew him... he lived up in Lancashire... I hope he's chilling with my dad now... Too bad the news came so late or I would have gone up for the funeral...

this only happens in bad Hollywood movies

but no no, it's happening to me... I'm sure it's just a joke but it's got me quite amused...

yesterday I received an email in my hotmail account... the subject line was " ?" and the text in the message read " I'll never tell "

attached was a picture of me and some of my friends taken about 3 years ago at a Halloween party back in my house in Ottawa. We're all dressed up, but it's a good pic. But that's all besides the point...

Now I don't recognise the email address...nor can think of any of my friends that would do something like this... I responded with a *laughs* that's funny, who are you?...

Today I get into work and there is another message... it read "it means nothing"... and something like "the picture simply made them piss themselves".... attached this time were two audio files... one called 'who I really am' which plays a distorted voice that says 'I'll never tell' and then the second is an MP3 of a cover version of Bonnie Tyler's 'total eclipse of the heart'

I am at a loss for words...

I think I could write a screen play... but I hope it doesn't turn really freaky-like...

yea so the techie me is thinking... god, who has that photo? Do I have it posted somewhere online? So I ran off and checked everywhere and found it nowhere...

the saga continues...

could it be one of my 3 faithful readers playing a joke?
