FW: FW: FW: FW: FW: Which baby are you?
Greetings, traveller.
How are all in the world of blog? It has seemed so quiet for some time (frankien's fine post on adverts aside. That was a treat) so I thought something should be done about that. This post is intended to kill two birds with one stone (metaphorically, of course. As a veggie I don't want to kill any birds. Even those rubbish pigeons with manky legs - they have a hard time).
Firstly, I have to mention an email that my sister has just sent to me, entitled "which baby are you?" It's a forward (see second point) in a horoscope style, outlining personality characteristics of individuals born in each month. Adjacent to each of these assessments was a .gif of a baby. (They can only be viewed as a still, not sure why. Not sure what I'm doing with this blog, really.) On the whole they were of normal-ish babies, with a slightly moving mouth, or waving or something. However July and November made me laugh and I wasn't sure why.
Now baby pictures like this are pretty trippy. Why do people like them? Who makes them? The tellytubbies baby in the sun is really weird. Remember those calendars with smiling babies sat in clouds? I rest my case.
Secondly, someone actually sent this on. There are ENDLESS examples of wrong forwards. What is surprising is the kinds of people that actually forward them on - my sister is not a bad person, and she has a credible sense of humour. Yet I'm always receiving these kinds of things from her. Maybe I'm on the receiving end of her credible sense of humour. Hmph.
I am especially sick of those "if you don't forward this in the next 2 minutes you will die" forwards. They are just cruel.
Might start a new blog feature of hideous forwards. And it will last, of course. Just as the dream diary feature lasted so well. And the Big Brother updates (still watching, by the way. Still need to get out more).
Holiday was great, thanks for asking.

How was your holiday?!
I am a November baby. Does that mean I am the awful baby with no bladder control?
Was it you I was telling the other day about the flower pot babies?

When was Tombola born? Was the bearn of that month photographed dumping?
Anne Geddes pics are fucking wrong.
Nice to see you back and blogging. Hurrah.

Lordie Lordie!
At least Geddes style crapping baby would be funny rather than weird, even if it was Tom!
You alright, love? When are you going to blog?!

Soon my darling soon.... I didn't think anyone was reading so didn't bother.
Would rather see a photo of Anne Geddes dumping for public humiliation.
Fordy is applying for a job at the Met. I'm also applying for the TF job at Psyc. Now that would be amusing.

Oh dear think must be a bit fick. Who is Fordy? And what's the TF job?! Ah - teaching fellow! Idiot.
Just spent 40 mins completing a stupid email to re-forward to my mates. One of those "if you were a crayon what colour would you be?" types. A crayon? Fuck off. But I take it all back about forwards - some of them have remarkable procrastinatory properties.
