Only thing less appealing to me is the feminine hygiene section!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just smiled politely and said I was flattered (which was a lie!) and that I was unavailable. (I did not elaborate on what I was unavailable for since thumper in the movie Bambi says: If you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all) (new thing i'm trialling is being nicer to strangers.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sheesh!</content>

I have a dog well sort of he's smaller than a cat and thinks he's human but technically he's a dog. I have a partner we have good incomes and never miss rent but i abhor real estate agents as they are even more evil than me. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ta.</content>

    <content type="html">How are you anyway?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think I am falling apart&lt;br /&gt;I found a screw in my bed as I got up this morning.&lt;br /&gt;It was still warm.&lt;br /&gt;I've got no clue where it is from.&lt;br /&gt;Last week as i was having a shower I saw some string hanging out from my side. It hurt a little when I gave it a tug so I tied a knot and broke the rest off.&lt;br /&gt;Each day it's something new, different and odd.&lt;br /&gt;Like the flesh coloured chip I coughed up on my way to work.&lt;br /&gt;The edged were smooth and shinny.&lt;br /&gt;I don't think I broke anything, but then again I am not too sure.&lt;br /&gt;These bits and pieces started to appear over the past month or so, in my shoe, in my pillow...&lt;br /&gt;I initially ignored these fragments of myself.&lt;br /&gt;I collected as I found them, storing them away in and old wooden box.&lt;br /&gt;I pulled them out the other day and looked over the collection.&lt;br /&gt;Screws, shards of glass, shreds of paper, loose bits of string, a few china-like chips, a handful of fluff and stuffing, and a couple of metal cuttings that I always cut myself on.&lt;br /&gt;After filling a whole box I started wondering where they were from.&lt;br /&gt;I desperately tried to put them back into me, but I couldn't find their place and so I continued to find them and collect and wonder.</content>
