I was relatively astounded to find my friend Tom on the FRONT PAGE of YouTube.

That’s kind of cool.

Well I’ve got to say that I’ve never been an advocate for the whole online meeting thing. But this one is kind of fun. The NY guy saw a girl on a train and had just plucked up enough courage to talk to her, when she disappeared. He then put up a website with the small hope of tracking her down, and did!

Blogging Humor On The Train

Steph was kind enough to leave a comment about ‘day-to-day life being captivating through my eyes’ – I was (and am) quite flattered. My days aren’t usually quite as eventful as they could be, but it seems today has thrown the contrary.

My sister moved in today – I will post about my wonderful previous housemate as a kind of commemoration thing but will wait until I upload a photo first. The short of it all, is that my housemate Isobelle is going to Thailand for three months and thus has moved out.

Laura, my sister (and my twin might I add – no I am not joking) moved in today. So Geoff and Tim and I spent this morning helping her move furniture from one suburb to the one a few over.

About lunch-time I received a distress call from Paul (Geoff’s housemate) trying to get on to Geoff, it turns out that in the time it took for Paul to wander down the street to get a pie was all the time it for a burst water pipe in the upstairs bathroom of my future house, to leak through the floor and into the kitchen downstairs. When I say leak, I mean quite extensively… through downlights and the like enough to soak several towels through and more.

Geoff and I eventually got there (Paul scurried off to a conference at church – he did turn the water and power off) to be met by three individuals who’d had a little too much to drink, one of them was graciously pissing on the back fence. No huge dramas there, but still not overly pleasant.

Found the number for real-estate agent, and the landlord – whom we’ve never met – turns out to be a builder. He rocked up with his electrician friend all of 20 minutes later and checked everything out. So the plumber was to show at 6:30pm (we assume Paul’s taken care of that) and a guy came to dry the carpets out and Geoff is now staying here tonight (remember Laura’s here now so it’s all okay), you cannot possibly sleep with two massive fans that have to run 24/7 (carpets).

So my tale of woe (or drama) and overuse of  brackets () should conclude there but I still haven’t mentioned that I came out to my car later on and found that my driver-side lock had been mauled by someone trying to get in so I now have to do an ‘Analise’ and open my driver side from the passenger seat or crawl across. I am not impressed. I’d have rather they taken my bomby old 1986 Corolla – I’d have liked the insurance money.

There it is. Captivating? Maybe not, but certainly full of excitement. Oh for a quiet Saturday. I am tired and still haven’t done half the homework I should have, Geoff is asleep behind me and I’m thinking that bed too sounds like a kind and certainly more gentle proposition.

Dear Readers,

While I blog from the comfort of my future lounge room (how cool is that!) slightly less frequently than I’d like, wander yourselves over and check out Amateur Theology.

While you’re wandering, add Amateur Theology to your feed-reader. If you don’t know what a feed reader is, wander yourself over to Google.com and type in Google Reader and follow the prompts to get yourself a log in – you don’t have to know how it works unless your brain is addled like mine was when I was younger. Now I know I don’t and can’t know everything and have adopted a sense of laziness past a certain hour. While you’re there, sign yourself up to Gmail if you are still using Hotmail, because we all know it is about three hundred zquillion times better, then return to Amateur Theology (or here if you can’t remember what the link is), then go to Amateur Theology.

Subscribe yourself to the feed. Think about submitting something to the administrator for it to be published if you are so inclined (and for you to get a nice happy easy link to something that will one day be HUGER than here… maybe – we can only hope – thus making you famous). If you don’t think you are of the whallop* then think about the post/s there and reply with a well thought out comment.

After this, spread the word via your own amazing (I’m sure) blogs, email and every other viral marketing splug you can conjure. That saying, I’m hoping A-T will be a firm constant in quality and quality discussion over quantity and piddly, ‘hmm that is interesting’ comments – of which I am ashamed to admit, have made at some point in time.

I’d say Amateur Theology is ‘what you make it’ – but that would be stealing a slug (not splug) from Gush and we can’t have that happen.

Now those of you who are intelligent folk (teehee, I used the word folk – now I must go and punish myself or at the least, *cringe*) might recognise that I may have a slight bias in plugging (not splugging or slugging) my fiance’s endeavour – but you can hardly blame me, when the idea is so good and the guy’s pretty hot (read that the other way around!).

STOP. Don’t leave just yet! Oh hang on, here’s me actually telling you that you should leave, just go out via here.

Love, me.

*word to use because I can’t think of one
**I haven’t bothered linking to Google, because I figure it’ll find me anyway and you know how to get there and probably have a link in your toolbar, search, bookmarks, desktop, mind…
***Do come back some time. Please.
