A cheery wave from a stranded freelancer

[fingertrouble]

Lying in the dark next to John, who's sleeping, listening to the rain, staring at the streetlight patterns on the wall. Thinking.

7 weeks without work and having done (well still am in) the depression phase I am really starting to panic.

I can't see myself still being here* by the end of 2009.

*London I mean, not comment whoring going to kill myself WAHMBULANCE level, but yeah, tis supremely, intensely and horrifically shit.

John has some work I can do but it's short term, desperately thinking of what else I can do and am already scaling back everything (if it wasn't for John I'd not go out at all, no way I can pay for anything other than a drink which to a proud man like me is depressing).

Bah. Not that I expect anyone to care - I've learned that on the Internet everyone can hear you scream, but only responds if they either want to shag you or you don't freak them out too much - one of the reasons I keep most of this stuff off LJ and don't post very much.

To quote Gnarls Barkley - "but who cares?"

Well, there are some friends out there that do care mate and I am sure that something will come along work wise for you. I know it's tough times out there but surely something must turn up soon and hopefuly you won't have to leave London or anything like that.

I am sure I will see you soon as we have already met and we know we are not going to shag or anything like that! :-)

Add me to the care train. Like it or not, we like you.

I care, too ... even if I'm 6000 miles away and can't do much to help. :)
