happy silly (magic) fun blog: January 2007
http://happysillyfun.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 04, 2007. If you get pregnant and have an IUD in place you're a freak. You ask the doctor questions and they say, 'I don't know, I haven't seen this before.'. Then she removed my IUD, and she told me I was likely to miscarry. She knew that much. I found it amusing that all the doctors carefully called it 'a pregnancy' not 'a baby'. They were understanding about the big decision we faced. Abortion was the obvious choice for an early, unplanned, pregnancy. The sensible thing to do. The Ea...

happy silly (magic) fun blog: September 2006
http://happysillyfun.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 29, 2006. This time we're hiring a car and going to Cambridgety. Not Cambridge. I told Steve that I was worried that Cambridge wasn't a very magical place, because our magic places always have silly names. Like Whitstable. Like Tooting Bec. Like, um. Like Steve's team is Trannmere Rovers? So Cambridgety it is. And Steve tells me, 'If it's not magic enough I know there's a village nearby called 'Shuddy Crumps'. We can always drive there as fast as we can.'. Posted by Jo at 12:49 PM.

happy silly (magic) fun blog: July 2006
http://happysillyfun.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 30, 2006. Blackcurrant Jelly, Clapham South platform poster. Amy has invented a country, a magical land of skateboarders that can only be reached by rocket ship, speed boat or jet plane. There are no secret doors leading to this magical place, I know this because I asked. Amy looked at me like I was dense and said, "You have to get there by rocket, speed boat or jet plane.". Amy asked me if I went to The Magic Of The Power what I'd turn into? She thought I'd choose Beast Boy, who's my favour...

happy silly (magic) fun blog: Happy Christmas?
http://happysillyfun.blogspot.com/2006/12/happy-christmas.html
Sunday, December 31, 2006. I stuck 23 stickers for 'The Advent Calendar Inside Steve's Head especially for Jo' on Christmas Eve. At Tooting Bec, the magic tube station. I'd been keeping up with my stickering plan despite the removal of my tube station poster after 5 days. I also noticed graffiti on the special poster (two from the end on the Northbound platform,) but it didn't make much sense to me. It just said, 'WAKEUPORDIE.COM(! Hmm, perhaps I should tell you about more Christmas magic? After putting ...

happy silly (magic) fun blog: 'The Advent Calendar Inside Steve's Head especially for Jo'
http://happysillyfun.blogspot.com/2006/12/advent-calendar-inside-steves-head.html
Thursday, December 07, 2006. The Advent Calendar Inside Steve's Head especially for Jo'. It's a secret, so don't tell Steve, but I've been making stickers for all the pictures of the 'Advent Calendar Inside Steve's Head.'. There's a special poster that I always sticker on. It's two from the end on the Northbound platform at Tooting Bec. Of course the stickers would have to go there. I love this imaginary advent calendar game. I'm only hoping Steve won't suggest something that's too hard to draw. I wasn't...

happy silly (magic) fun blog: August 2006
http://happysillyfun.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 31, 2006. Jelly Bean Man, Tottenham Court Road. They'd never know that the cactus is still in fine health and sits on my kitchen window sill. I could even make it sound more plausible by discussing the merits of methylated spirits dabs or spraying with soapy water. My Mammillaria were my pride and joy, and when they got the bug and died I cried. Two of these collections are work related, it helps to keep me interested. I'm very pleased with the ones I've found so far. The first was b...

happy silly (magic) fun blog: God and Aftershave
http://happysillyfun.blogspot.com/2006/12/god-and-aftershave.html
Tuesday, December 05, 2006. I don't believe in God, I believe in tigers on tube station posters. Steve asked me to choose some aftershave for him. I like the way he smells. He doesn't smell of anything much. He doesn't usually wear aftershave. He must have decided he wants to. I wasn't in the mood for Christmas shopping any more. Christmas isn't always a happy time, is it? I wondered what I'd do when I got home, while I waited for Steve? Would I have a drink or two, because I could? And I wanted to write...

happy silly (magic) fun blog: Numbers
http://happysillyfun.blogspot.com/2006/12/numbers.html
Thursday, December 07, 2006. I'm not superstitious at all, but I do like the number 5. It's my 'favourite number' not a 'lucky number'. Although I do believe in it's magic. I suppose it's magic like tigers on tube posters, and stickers, and Tooting Bec itself. I realise that I'm always looking for magic, and wanting to believe in it, rather than that it being actually real. But then again I think that looking for the magic might. So perhaps it's something like that. Posted by Jo at 11:24 AM.

happy silly (magic) fun blog: The 5 tube stations with the silliest names (zones 1-3)
http://happysillyfun.blogspot.com/2006/12/5-tube-stations-with-silliest-names.html
Sunday, December 10, 2006. The 5 tube stations with the silliest names (zones 1-3). I haven't looked at the tube map yet. I'm delaying the pleasure. It's part of the adventure. There's a time soon where I know I'm going to feel bad, so I came up with a plan to help me to avoid this. Here's the plan for distraction-from-feeling-bad, on likely-to-feel-bad night. I've realised that this game is likely to involve me drinking 5 pints. That's ok. I expect Steve will come too, but he doesn't have to. And I ...

happy silly (magic) fun blog: 55555
http://happysillyfun.blogspot.com/2006/12/55555.html
Friday, December 01, 2006. Did you know that 5's my favourite number? At 1050pm yesterday, one hour ten minutes before the NaNoWriMo deadline, I finished my novel, and it had 55,555 words. Five fives. To get the word tally exactly right I had an expandable/contractable paragraph, where a goblin hijacked a computer keyboard and typed the word 'fuck' a lot. It must be something to do with the blogging? Yes, completely. I didn't really have obsessive stalker tendencies towards a minor celeb, did I? Steve wo...
