Where To Begin
Jan. 20th, 2007 08:17 pmDear Diary,
I notice I've only posted a few times this year. I mean, I've been on here, mostly reading my friends page. Which has been decidedly quiet of late, except for some ludicrously busy communities...
Anyway, shall now attempt to catch up a little :-)

The parents of oldest friend Geoff (who I have known longer than ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
evildoom_bunny has been alive) are moving house for the first time since the late sixties. So Geoff had to find a home for all of the old crap sitting in his old room back in North Boring.
Being the owner of a station wagon, I was enlisted to help. It was bizarre being back at his place - it hasn't changed a bit since I was last there sometime in the 1990s. In fact it hasn't seriously changed since I was there for his tenth birthday party in 1981.
There was lots of old crap floating around his place which I remembered, which was a bit scary, and some stuff which I didn't, which was also a bit scary. I'd given him several drawings over the years, at least one of which I couldn't remember at all. It looked like it had been published somewhere, or at least was intended to be. And I couldn't remember the context at all...
The most bizarre shit he has are a whole series of "teaching teenagers about sex" books, most of which dated from the seventies and were disturbing and fucking hilarious by turns. I especially liked one from some magazine which asked on page eleven: Are you Bisexual?
But most of all I was there for the Lego. Geoff has stacks of old space Lego, although we agreed he'd probably had more at some stage. The fate of the rest of it is not clear - possibly his mom chucked it, which is SACRILEGE OF THE HIGHEST ORDER, akin to, say, setting fire to the Mona Lisa.
After we got all his crap back to his place, it quickly became clear that there wasn't space for it in his tiny house in Fitzroy. So the Lego ended up at my place!!!! Long term loan! I had to askevildoom_bunny first, thinking Girlfriends and Lego usually don't mix. But she pulled her "Squeeeeee!!" face! I think I'm in love :-)
So I've been attempting to make the biggest fucking Lego spaceship you've ever seen. It's about 70cm long!
Not sure that being 35 and sitting on the floor playing with Lego is a good look, but who cares. My knees care, I'm getting too old to be squatting down like that :-)
