Emily,

I think a lot of us have posted/sent emails etc when we've been particularly down (or a little tiddly) and then felt embarrassed afterwards, so you're not alone there!

Don't worry about it. Feeling grief at losing someone is a natural thing, and wanting to tell friends about your pain is also very natural. It's a pretty unavoidable part of the healing process, I think. Things will get better and you life will move on quicker than you think.

In a couple of months you'll be posting here, dispensing advice to all and sundry as though all this were ancient history!

What is your favorite TV show?

Ummmm........would it be too dorky to suggest Mythbusters? Have to love Kari Byron...................

Other than that, I think the US produces the snazziest dramas - House, CSI, Grey's, Sopranos, etc.

Whereas the UK has some really clever satire - Mock the Week, Have I Got News For You.

Crumples,

It's just a number, hon, nothing more.

"e-mails are a love of mine.

i prefer them to communicating by word of mouth.

Sunshine - The new danny boyle movie

by Crumpet in

i've succumbed to the awesomev trailers all over myspace and everywhere else i look and have booked my tickets.

its ages since we had a good sci fi thriller on the big screen so i am hoping its going to be good.. has anyone else seen it yet?

anyone planning to go?.

tim hooper

Crumples,

Haven't seen it as yet, although James King wasn't too flattering on Edith Bowman's radio show yesterday. He said the film was aimed at 'chin-strokey critcs' rather than yer paying punter. Clever effects, but a claustrophobic storyline that really had nowhere to go.

Maybe it will upset them, maybe they will just discard...

by Crumpet in

it is my parents wedding anniversary saturday and every year since i left i have always sent them a card.

i wondered whether i should or not this year.

on balance i wasn't sure what would upset them more - waiting for a card that never came, or receiving a card at all, especially since i said in december that i wouldn't "bother" them anymore.. anyway it felt right to send a card so i did and i decided to put a little note inside, folded and bearing the message: "my news, but don't read it if you aren't interested".

You're a class act Nina.

No anguish, no recriminations, no attacks. Just a calm and friendly note.

I, for one, can't even imagine what you've had to deal with over the years since you left, but you keep on shining through!

richie or those in the know - how much pain can i expect to look forward to?.

tim hooper

Crumples!

You want a tattoo? You go and get one! You're of age and smart enough to know your own mind.
