Hi Diddly Dee, an Actor's Life for Me
"Those who agree with us may not be right, but we admire their astuteness."

I had a craving for roast chicken last night, so off I popped to Sainsburys to purchase ingredients (ie a chicken). Looked at the various chopped up legs and thighs and whatever and then thought 'what the hell' and bought an entire (if small) chicken, reasoning that I could eat leftovers cold for the next few days. So I cooked the chicken and all the veg and the roast tatties - the whole lot. Then I looked at this beautiful chicken and suddenly got all emotional. I should be doing the whole earth mother thing by now. My life should be sorted and I should be married with 6 kids and living in the country. I shouldn't be cooking chicken to eat as leftovers. I should be cooking for a family. Don't get me wrong - my life is not so bad, as lives go. I have my own flat, I have a lovely boyfriend, I'm getting acting jobs - and yet... I sometimes feel it's all a bit empty.
Baby love...

(17.11.04 17:23) Never appealed to me at all, all that earth mother stuff. Just as well, really ..... |
|
(17.11.04 17:44) The upside, of course, is that I got all the chicken skin to myself - definitely a bonus to living alone!! |
|
(17.11.04 17:46) I like living alone, I really do. Alone and lonely are not the same at all, as you clearly know! And getting all the crispy chicken skin is a big, big bonus. Yum. |
|
(17.11.04 17:52) Oh, yes indeedy! I also love living alone - it's most unusual for me to have wobbly moments like last night. |
|
(17.11.04 18:03) I am SO looking forward to having a night in. Alone. Tomorrow. Damn it.;-) |
|
(17.11.04 18:44) Hehehe! |
|
(17.11.04 19:10) ... & you get the bottle of wine all to yourself 
|
|
(17.11.04 19:16) Oh, that is SUCH a good point, cha0tic! Thinking of which... *wanders off to the fridge* |
|
(18.11.04 16:25) I know what you mean - I stood in the doorway to my lounge this morning for about 5 minutes, feeling that at last it's starting to feel like home, and what a shame it was that I've hardly been there to appreciate it. I have two weekends of dinner parties coming up, so I suspect that I shall be put off them quick sharpish. However - you must come to dinner next year sometime! |
|
(18.11.04 16:34) Woohoo! I'm so up for that... I love doing dinner parties, actually. There's a group of 6 of us up here who have got a whole reciprocal dinner party thing going on - very civilized - can you tell we're all pushing 30?! |
