Channel Selector   u and me Dear Readers 6

Dear Readers,

Well what a week. As you must be aware, I'm having some major problems with the links site I launched 10 days ago. It's currently not working at all - but hopefully I will have a working version up by the end of Friday 28th.

As for this (thatP.com) site, there was a domain conflict on the SoNow servers, and it didn't work for 24 hours or so. So sorry to all of you who might have tried to access it then. Luckily my-trusty-beta-testerHugh pointed it out to me, and I got onto the guys at SoNow.

I've thought about this week's diary update, and realise that I come across as being really smug. I was just feeling very good about myself. Please remember that although I do publish my diary, I write it for myself, and therefore feel able to say things in a way that I would not, were I to be in a social situation - or talking to friends. That might sound strange, or two-faced, but I think it's true for most people. When you're talking to yourself, or thinking to yourself, you're more likely to say things that you wouldn't say to others. When you're annoyed, you might say "I wish so-and-so were dead", but you don't mean it, and wouldn't say it to them or others. So that's the reason you're going to think I'm an arrogant shit when you read this week's update. There, end of disclaimer.

Now for a quick request. I know full well some of you are going to be tempted to write to me about the sex thing I talk about briefly at the end (shit, now that I've said that, you're all going to skip to the end, and not bother reading the rest). Anyway, if you do feel compelled to write, then please don't write something too general. Be specific, and use personal examples. I don't want generic "only do what you want to do. Have self-respect" type stuff. I know that already, and it doesn't help. Not that I am asking for help - but naturally if you have something that you think might help me, then it's always very much appreciated.

I'm dead tired, so perhaps that explains the tone of this and this week's update - so I'd better go to bed, and have a good night's sleep.
