In some random fit of boredom I went to open a blogger.com account today and found that some arsehole had already stolen the name 'Misanthropic Socialite' - I thought it was both clever and quite apt. But no, there is another Misanthropic Socialite out there - in fact there is even a .com to boot - that's what I get for trying too hard to be clever.
That defeat signals the end of my blog opening excursions for the moment. I'll just talk to myself in here for a while and hope that nobody notices.
