A little bit of Nowhere

Ever notice how it's the little things in life that amuse us so much? More to the point, ever notice how it's the silly little idiocies in life that amuse us more than anything else? Well, this is not as much ''the little blog that could'' as it is ''the blog that enjoys going up the down escalator in your local mall.'' Will it have anything of real importance? No, probably not. But enjoy the ride never the less!

The So Not Work Friendly Blog

You know, there are a lot of things you just never want to share with other people, or you don't want them to share with you: underwear, demon possessions, chocolate cookies or details about your sex life.

Wow, if there's any quicker way to clear this little bit of nowhere, damned if I know what it is.

And yet, I am dismayed to confess that I am perhaps not quite the romantic, or at least above-average lover as I'd once believed myself to be.

Mel: ^-^ "Morning!"

Me: "Hello. Sleep well?"

Mel: ^-^ "Yep! I guess I was really tired last night."

Me: "So I gathered."

Mel: [???] "What do you mean by that?"

Me: "Well, for starters...you fell asleep during the foreplay."


Now somewhere around here, Mel blushes profusely as she thinks back to the previous evening, and realizes there's an inherent lack of memories on her part.

Mel: o.O;; "I, uh, hope you're not offended."

Me: "Well, nothing says 'I love you' quite like that."

Mel: "I'm sorry?"

Me: -.-;;;;;;; [sulking] "You so owe me foreplay now."


And so in honour of my wondrous lack of ability to keep Mel awake, here's the reason you definitely don't want to be looking at this little bit of nowhere at your workstation:
