    Dark Places - with Little or No Transport.

    Everyone has a "Dark Place", somewhere in their heads where all the horrible stuff seems to get stored for all eternity. "Things you want to forget", "Things that NEVER happened", "Lies".The dark dusty place, down there on the left, next to "what you once knew about Shakespeare". That's right, next to "how to complete the square" and "the reasons you wanted a lime green room". Some times the strangest sequence of events can lead you right back here amongst the dust, grime and general doomy gloomy murky parks that you'd rather not trifle with regularly.

    Everyone has one of those moments where life seems to throw you a really great thing, only to have it ripped out of your hands moments later, leaving you with the undeniable sense that you've been robbed of something. The overwhelming urge to scream "But hang on a second!" is always nearly drowned out by "but it never was really yours in the first place". Most of these occasions are stored in the box labeled "Money Problems" or "Sweet deals, depending if your filing is up-to-date. These are currently stored in the upper right side of my brain, next to "Ways to save for Holidays!" and "Things you want to buy but cant" also close to "Which supermarket sells the cheapest noodles". Important boxes, which are often visited. They are even alphabetised.

    A new box. "Car problems".

    Name: Car problems
    Contents: Problems concerning Car, past Cars, Car related material which is problematic.
    Location: Within "Money Problems" and cross referenced in "Sweet Deals". Also features in "Dark Place". vague reference to "Holiday Savings" and "How to get out of trouble"
    Items: 1
    Item and Description of Incident:
    1, car broke. warranty failed to save. Flirting failed to save. Crying helped. Money received previous day from Hells Accountancy and earmarked for Holiday savings spent on buying car parts previously unaware of. Possibility of being ripped off. Cried in public. Feeling of impending doom as "I have nothing" is removed from Dark Place. Paid on 3 different bank cards. 1 declined. Car fixed. Relationship between car and owner is strained. Bank: £300 lighter.

    I would like to take this chance to make ammends with you - I don't believe that we have really got off to a terribly great start, and that may have tainted any form of friendship that you and I might form. Hugh is terribly important to me, and therefore anyone who is terribly important to him is to me also. You are a major part of his life, and for that sake, I would ask you to forgive my past behaviour and any animosity between us and allow me your friendship in the future. Although we seem to be different peopl, we must have something in common if we both enjoy Mr Weeks-Bells' company, however tedious his jokes can be.

    My fondest regards

    Benjamin.
