Sometimes it’s all just going on in the top box, round and round in the empty space between the ears and the only thing left to do is get it out there into the open. Be forewarned of the randomness of this post, leave now and forever preserve your sanity!
Reading
I’m behind on my reading of other blogs. I keep being interrupted by annoying things like work, housework, cooking and cleaning. Ok so there might also be a little bit of Candy Crush and Cookie Crunch or whatever it’s called, but it’s pretty much the first four!
Aside from the above there is also the issue of the WordPress reader. I like it, alot, however because I follow so many blogs, posts tend to get lost. I’ll start it up in the morning and regardless of how many new posts there are, it will always say 20. When I hit load and read those 20, it automatically takes me back to the ones from the day before, meaning I miss out on all the beautific blogginess inbetween.
It’s not a life endangering problem or anything, but it is annoying. I’m really nosey, I don’t want to miss anything. So my question is, do any of you have suggestions for other readers for say the Android platform into which I could load all the blogs I love and then see them as a feed perhaps, never again missing an important post?
Wow, reading back on that I almost sound like I know what I am talking about. The truth is however that I am clueless and in need of assistance…bats eyelids!
How do you read yours? (said in my best Creme Egg voice)
Girls on GTA
Anyone who follows my blog will remember the post I did in relation to Grand Theft Auto and my likes and dislikes regarding it.
I still find the reaction I get from guys really funny. Some of them still cannot believe that girls actually game, and on hearing your voice either become tongue tied and shy, or morph into a total asshole, telling you that they are the greatest thing since sliced bread and should have all your attention.
Luckily my friends just treat me exactly the same, and offer no preferential treatment just because I am of the female persuasion. They do however make allowances for the fact I am stupid and offer a fair amount of help to compensate for that.
The funniest thing to date though has to be someone joining the party chat and GTA game session I was in and on realising I was a female drove as fast as their little CGI car could travel to check me out. For badness I turned around and asked him if he thought my bum looked big in the jeans I was wearing. I mean come on, it’s a game and I built a character, I’m not going to make it a likeness now am I. I’m going to take great care to get the boobs, belly and butt I always wanted, not the ones I have!!
Random Game Recommendations
As if being shamefully addicted to Candy Crush was not enough, Paul, yep the twat who owns, but never writes over at Nugs321 thought it would be fun to issue me a challenge for Cookie Jam. He always knows that the best way to get me to do something is to start a sentence with “I bet you can’t….”. In this case, the challenge was to beat his current level which at the time was 35. So of course in order to prove him wrong I did just that, and became addicted at the same time.
It’s pretty similar to Candy Crush only you have to make cakes. It’s good mindless, time wasting fun, but it’s starting to interfere with my journeys to and from work as by the time I play those 5 lives and the 5 for Candy Crush and then switch back, there is precious little time to do anything else!
Quick, help me find a reader! (See Random fact No 1)

I’m no real help, I’ve been told my posts aren’t showing up :-( I suppose you can try Bloglovin (yeah, really) or subscribe to certain blogs’ Facebook pages (hint hint).

You know, I don’t use the reader so much because I don’t have the time to dip into it and I follow nearly every blog that follows me, plus some. I subscribe to the blogs I want to read by email (like I do yours) and then right after they post, I get an email and I can read it right then if I want to. If you’re reading everything that comes into your reader — or even trying to — it’s little wonder you get overwhelmed by all that you do!

Good point, I might have to think about the email system for the unmissables. I do read most things even if I don’t get to hit like for them all, but it does get overwhelming sometimes.

Don’t take this the wrong way, but I find that you rarely like my posts.

No you are probably right and I hope you realise it’s nothing personal. Lately I’ve liked very few posts of anyone’s, something I am trying to rectify.
Where you are concerned it’s a twofold answer. You’re always really good at liking my posts and commenting, usually sensible things too. I consider you and I to be on different levels of intelligence, you obviously being on the higher level and sometimes there is nothing more I can add to what you have already written, sometimes it’s over my head, so I guess it’s a confidence thing, rather than embarrass myself I say nothing, and then sometimes I don’t like because I don’t want you to wonder why I like but don’t comment. I told you my mind is a complex place. Other times it is simply because I ran out of time on my train journey and by the time I am travelling home again the posts from earlier no longer show in the reader.
Can you forgive me if I promise to try and be better? *wee sad face*

I don’t judge you at all for your liking habits, I promise. But you can’t put me on an intelligence pedestal, I won’t let that stand because I’m just as normal (or abnormal) as you are.
