Needless to say, I’m already starting to get rather agitated about the election. I always get worked up over politics: whenever somebody I don’t agree with appears on TV, I often end up shouting at the screen or wanting to throw things at it. I’m told it’s connected with my emotional regulation being effected by my CP. It happened last night: I was watching the evening news when the leader of the group of vermin known as Reform suddenly appeared. I instantly found the sight so repugnant that I had to turn it off – I mean, why is the BBC giving airtime to such lying, xenophobic scum?

Last night, however, I found a decent solution. A few entries ago, I mentioned that I had started work on re-inserting all the missing links into my old blog entries. It’s a long, slow process: finding, copying and pasting a month’s worth of links takes me an hour or two, depending upon how many I used. I must admit, though, that it’s rather therapeutic and relaxing. Monotonous, yes, but I soon get the sense that I’m making progress; it also means I refresh my memory about all the things I’ve written here in the past. If I do a month or two a day, I know I’ll get there eventually. And at least it distracts me from all the bollocks currently in the news.
