(Flicks your ear)
Glad to hear you have a little more time to yourself.
Did you and Xiver enjoy your last visit, by the way? Never had a chance to ask, and there was some weirdness that's been troubling me ever since.

We enjoyed our time greatly, it was a lot of fun for he and I alike. I think I know what you're referring to but I'd rather not discuss these issues in comment form. Speak to you soon on the matter.

I've sent you multiple text messages. You lose your phone, or have you been busy? Or did you drop it in tea again? : )

Looks like I didn't get it because my phone was off. Tesco don't hold messages for very long if you don't get them right away. I got the message asking where my reply was but nothing before that at all.

Gotcha. Resent.

By which I mean "re-sent".

That album is massively therapeutic. It's got better flow that almost everything I've heard this year, and the way it rides its melodies like a gentle (or sometimes not so gentle) tide is awesome.

I always feel like I gotta be doing something. Part of it is just the winter months, making me feel like my life's in a vice and I'm gonna die someday, soigottadoeverythingicannow, and that was really killing my ability to create anything effectively. I couldn't even cook.

I got plans now to move outta this place. I'm not going for a few months, I think, gotta get a job nailed down. But I want out. It's done me wonders just to acknowledge that.

In conclusion, I'm glad you feel better. =3

That is rather a lot like how I've been feeling, except I think you're probably more hardworking than my very lazy self. Whenever I feel like I have to do something I have this awful tendancy to fight it. I think I have an enormous fear of finite possibilities. It's to the point that, 'you hold my paw and I pull away for fear of being held,' that's what I'm like. Sometimes I think it would be nice to be able to focus on a goal like getting yourself that shiny new place sorted out. Sounds like a good focus.

In Rainbows reminded me exactly what I was missing when there wasn't a new Radiohead album out. The flow, the melody, the very feelings are heart-true and beautiful. It strokes the parts of me nothing else can reach. A massage to the most difficult to reach parts.

It's funny how the right music can cut through the layers of your conscious mind straight to your feelings, to the core of your being and in this case, re-awaken and soothe it.

Ah dearies, I think I may have to see if I can still grab ahold of the vinyl from somewhere...

Also, cheers. z: )

Ooooh, I used to fight it. I tried to stop doing this by charging ahead with things. Sometimes it's not so good though, leads to sloppy work; but on the whole it works for me. Usually it's a matter of necessity. I've had to grow up lately, and I'm still not sure if I like it. =/

Then again, that means I'm not too grown up yet. Yesssss. ;3
