Laura Patricia
She's talking to herself again…

Yes, that’s right, I am *that* person. I am writing this blog on my BlackBerry as I sit on the bus.

I just thought I’d fill you all in on what’s been happening in Laura Land. I have, as ever, been neglecting this blog for the sake of other projects. Well, that is to say, at least this week I have been. Last week it was neglect for the sake of a holiday in sunny Norfolk!

Which was lovely – I had a really good time with Adam’s family (ha, no, not that one…), and I enjoyed the relaxation and scenery. We stayed in a cosy cabin (with all mod cons, of course) in the woods overlooking Fritton Lake and did all the Enid Blyton-y things like pitch-and-putt golf and fish and chips by the sea. The really good news is, because his parents decided to purchase a cabin of their very own, I get to go back in August!

So, nicely relaxed, I made it back in time for a manic week! On Monday, I started my new job, temping three days a week for the Council. Tuesday was supposed to be a day off to do all the things I had to do, like answering emails and laundry, but I felt ill so didn’t actually end up getting much done. On Wednesday morning I had an interview for a more permanant position at a publishing house in Chichester; I am awaiting news of that one, rather nervously because I know I would absolutely adore the job! In the meantime I went back to my temp work today, and am now catching up on one more thing – updating my blog – on the way home. Whew!

Anyways, there’s my stop! Catch you later!

Ah, the joys of technology! I am writing this blog from Adam’s parents’ house in Cambridge. On my BlackBerry…

Yes folks, I have now installed the WordPress app on my Curve, so I can blog on the go. Which is good, because what prompted this step was that I was sitting in the back of a car this afternoon a) feeling bad for having neglected this blog and b) lamenting all the time I was wasting just sitting doing nothing. Now, this is no more, and I can be merrily tapping away at these purple keys whenever I feel like it! (more…)

So, I have taken yet another step further into the wonderful world of cyberspace – I have joined the confusing and attention-seeking world of Twitter!  Warning, shameless self promotion alert: feel free to ‘follow’ me if you’ve got an account of your own.  Link’s on the right.  It will make me feel loved… (more…)

Hey again.  I know it’s been a while since I blogged, but I have been busy playing about with the website and trying to get the other sections filled out and so on.  I hope you all have a look at my articles and fiction, and keep an eye out for some more new stuff which should be going up over the next few days.

In the meantime, I want you all to open a new tab in your browser, go to Google, and search for me – “Laura Patricia”.  (more…)

A study in California has recently revealed that, as a general rule, people who vote Left-wing define themselves as iPhone fans, while their compatriots on the Right are more likely to be users of BlackBerries.  (more…)
