I find it exceptionally hard at times to simply rise above things without giving in to the urge to sting when I am hurt.
If you are hurt, I have a spare shoulder for you

I wish people would tell me the truth instead of just what I want to hear.

This summer I went to my first live transmission of a Ballet. Since then I have been to live transmissions of Ballet from the Royal Ballet at Covent Garden, Opera from Glyndebourne, and from The Globe Theatre, two Shakespeare plays and Marlowe's Doctor Faustus.
Even if I had paid for the most expensive seats at the live venue, I couldn't have had a better view than that I had in the cinema. The cost was similar to the latest Hollywood shoot-em-up to save-the-world, but my enjoyment was much better.
And there are more live transmissions to come from The Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. At cinema prices, I can afford to see an opera I don't know just to see what it is like. I would be reluctant to pay over 100 pounds plus overnight accommodation in London, to see a minor composer's work. But at 10 pounds at a multiplex with free parking 15 miles away, or 8 pounds at cinema within walking distance - why not? If I don't like it, I could walk out.
More live transmissions please.
There are some days I desperately want the old me back. Today is one of those days.

The ellipsis is the most overused punctuation in the English language, and I am the most egregious over-user of it...
Oh no, not the ellipsis! That's almost as bad as an inappropriate use of the tilde, such as:
Dear Charlotte~
Agggghhhhhh! I had a colleague who used it constantly, and it drove me bonkers.
It's always the little things.
And the not so little as well...

Oooh! You're just pushing ALL my buttons tonight, aren't you?!

Yeah, that's what the calendar says.
Doomsday, again? And I still haven't gotten my asbestos underwear back from the cleaners.
