Straight porn and the fulfillment of all my hopes and dreams, the two topics being entirely unrelated

The holidays are over and here I am again. I hope I find you all well. I have been reading all your lovely messages as well as secretly visiting your blogs in the dead of night. The break has done me good.Well, I say it has but I'm not sure really. The pressure of having to be interesting on a daily basis had been getting to me rather a lot, but then when it was no longer there I got rather apathetic and even more morose than usual, so yes I missed you all, and this writing lark seems to have got under my skin. My stinky mood may also have been caused by all the enforced Christmas cheer, the travelling, the endless parties and the fucking jingle bells, of course. We'll just never know, will we, because for better or worse I am back.

Right. So today I thought I would share the two most memorable events of the holidays with you and get that over and done with:
  1. I had a dream about Mark Foster, the British olympic swimmer. This was two weeks ago, but I figure it was noteworthy enough to share it just now. And besides, it gives me an excuse to stare at length at this picture:



    Oh yeah. Sigh.
    In my dream, Mark was wearing (tight) clothes, but I'm guessing it is obvious to you why I chose the picture with fewer clothes.
    Mark was strolling around the exam hall I was in, sitting an exam on what I can only assume was molecular or some other random kind of biology. Whatever it was, I knew nothing about the subject. I sat staring at this paper, reading through it, not answering anything.
    Mark came over and encouraged me to stick with it - the answers would come to me. Gradually it dawned on him that I in fact was not having some kind of blackout or crisis of confidence but that I genuinely did not know any of the answers, and never would. At which point he turned away disappointed and disgusted with me.
  2. My dad got the new iPhone. Which prompted him to give me his old one!!! Which means all my dreams have been fulfilled and I have nothing more to aim for.
The end.

  4. @Brit in Bosnia - Working on them. They just have to cooperate a little.

    @michelle - I can understand the envy. I had that bad for months. All I can recommend is finding a gadget-obsessed friend or relative.

    @Jo - Yay!

  5. I'm calling in sick to work today so I can sit and stare and that beautiful creature all day. DAMN.

    Happy New Year!

  6. iPhones are undeniably cool. I never regretted getting mine, although they can be surprisingly frustraiting at times.

  7. Mark has appeared in my dreams frequently as well. He is H.O.T. Wishing you many more happy nights!

  8. @cristin - It's all I'm going to do today as well.

    @Dan - They are so cool it's not even funny. I have to look for some more apps, though. I don't have enough.

    @Victoria - Thank you. I'm just hoping he's not quite so clothed or disapproving next time.

  9. One of these days I might break down a get a cell phone-so this iphone stuff baffles me, really. But if you are happy about it, then so am I. :)

    I think I liked the gay porn better; that man is just too perfect to be real.

  10. You have an iPhone? I am sick with jealousy :(

  12. doesn't it kind of look like he's pissed off? I don't think it's all that hot cause he does not look happy to be there at all.

    AND I love when my parents get new things! Especially when my momma gets new furniture or clothes!

  13. Welcome back. Lucky you with the iPhone. I would feel the same way. I'd like to dream about that man, though not exams and him being annoyed with me.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Simple pleasures. There's nothing better to start a year.

  15. Missed you girl! Welcome HOME!

  16. WOW. I mean, the iPhone is nice and all, but holy crap, just look at that photo.

    ReplyDelete
  17. oooh, hot dudes and fancy technology. Good mix

  18. What a neat way to start the new year....a near naked man.
    Welcome back!

  19. That's a picture to cheer up the first Monday in January....

    congrats on the iPhone. I would love one, but there is a little voice in my head telling me that I can't afford one and don't really need one. Sadly I know no-one who is likely to give me theirs!

  20. Just looking back at that picture again - sorry I couldn't resist! David Beckham also did a particularly gorgeous pose just like this a few years back didn't he? Might just have to compare the two!

  21. Ok. I have to confess... don't the bulging six pack muscles just look a little like they're about to peel apart and birth a slimy tooth-ed alien baby? Just a little? This is the second time this week I've thought, oh no, stomach vagina...

  22. You have an iPhone? Let the jealousy commence.

  23. @Kori - I love my iPhone. But I'm not sure cell phones have improved my life that much.

    @notsuchayummymummy - I understand. I used to be sick with jealousy.

    @London City Mum - Thank you, my dear!

    @erin - Ah. I've seen him on TV, though, and sometimes he is very nice.

    @Bethany - Yeah, the annoyance was a downer.

    @Metropolitan Mum - Indeed. Indeed. Which is why I'm off to bed very soon.

    @Ms. Moon - And I missed you! Thank you!!!

  24. @Steph - I KNOW!

    @Jenny Rudd - It is rather. Except when they spend too much time on the toilet playing on a games machine. That can get annoying.

    @Countess - Thank you. I thought it was rather.

    @nappy valley girl - I had exactly that same voice. I have not gotten a data subscription either. I'm using various wifi networks, but I'm only paying my normal phone bill. I couldn't afford the full thing either.

    @Victoria - I keep going back as well. I think you should do a comparison. That would be make a very good post.

    @Jo - Well, there's no pleasing some people...

    @Badass Geek - I know. It's just not fair.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I don't know what it is about that picture of that guy, but (to me) it's just not sexy. It's kind of gay porn-ish. No?

    And, yay for the iPhone!

    Oh and welcome back. :)

    ReplyDelete
  26. Oh, the cult of the iPhone. I used to scoff at them, derided them and their obsessive behaviour.

    And then I got one.

    If the house was on fire, I'd grab my kids, then my iPhone.

    (I might be lying about the order.)


    Glad to see you back!

  27. Is it wrong that I have kept sneaking back to look at this photo? YOu should do pay-per-view or something... then you could buy ME and iphone!!

    So glad you're back - Happy New Year lovely xxx

  28. Welcome back! That's a nice picture to warm us up. I think we could all start including pictures like those, even if they have nothing to do with the post.
