Diary of an up and coming sociopath

Well, that’s it. The big hurdle jumped like so tower bridge in that “back the bid” advert I keep seeing on the tubes. Which, before I get to the filthy business of totalling up expenditures, leads me to ask something I’ve been pondering for weeks. Just HOW does one back the bid? I’ve seen hundreds of things, from streetlamps to the news telling me to do so, even the country’s rulers are getting in on the act, but I’m somehow still at a loss as to what to do. Did I miss the free booklet they sent round telling us what to do? If anyones asks, I guess I’ll say I’m backing the bid.

Well, maybe not. I’m unconvinced that London’s already horrendous transport system can handle that shit, really.the last thing it needs is an influx of a few thousand more commuters/tourists. And shitloads of building work being done around the city, not exactly winning me over. I have to wonder how they actually ever intended to convince me, now that I think about it. “Back the bid” they’re saying “or else.” they might as well add. Hello? Anyone got a reason up there? Personally, I don’t see the olympics in itself as a reward worth the effort. Of course, it includes the paralympics too. That’d work. London’s entire tube system has like three wheelchair friendly stations or something. I hope for the sake of the disabled we don’t win that one. I think the games should go to Paris. That’ll teach ‘em.

And now, the conclusion:
Rent: £368.75
Travelcard: £25
Chips/Ice Cream: £7.13
Tuesday Total: £400.88
Cumulative Total: £739.79

Dear christ. Only a little more than a week until my next infusion of cash. I shall keep my eyes on the prize.
