Hello all. Here I am again, busy writing to you while I ought to be working. But hey, a girl�s got to live up to her nick, hasn�t she? The lovely archel said� i hope that subject line doesn't cause any raised eyebrows from employers looking over you naughty people's shoulders... well, it did make me giggle. But cos everyone�s behind me right now (a bunch of six or so people hovering in this rather supernatural way discussing stuff) they�re ignoring me. I think actually, it might be the bright PINK sinister page that could give away that I�m doing stuff I shouldn�t be. Archel then went on to say i have to get the bus to work now and it's always late and full of a) smelly people talking into carrier bags or b) students. (these categories are not mutually exclusive.) also i get sick on them (just check the archives). i know it's b&s fan treason, but i prefer trains. i think that they're psychologically healthier, with more space to escape loonies. I prefer trains too. I had an argument a few weeks ago with this so-called �revenue inspector� (thats a posh name for ticket inspector, really, isn�t it?) on a citylink bus. I hate buses. Still very very tempted to start up a website called I-HATE-BUSES.co.uk. I had loads of ideas for it. I guess that�s cos I�m getting old and am beginning to find more faults with the world in which I live and therefore increasing my need to complain. I thought about an annual �crap bus company of the year� thing, where you could vote by region. Regional heats followed by an overall national winner. But I just know Stuart Murdoch would be there begging you all to vote for stagecoach, and oh, how you would. I would too. And the prize? A little matchbox toy bus painted in poo brown with crap bus company of the year tippexed on, in a sort of graffiti artist way. And then have a game as well, where you�d have this gun, and have to blow up buses while you stood at the bus stop. For each one you blew up, you�d get points for good deeds to society. And if you missed, they�d splash you and get �dry cleaning bill� points. But archel was right. Lets not go there. But they do suck. Question: Why does David Moore know so much? Next thought� I�ve started writing a story. I do these things every so often.. I go out, and stand in WH Smiths or Office World or Paper Tiger (or Borders.. which has now become a new haven for me..) drooling over notebooks and fancy pens with cool nibs and stuff, then buy one and feel the need to be inspired. There are only two notebooks I�ve ever filled up. So many notebooks that end up half filled with ideas and thoughts. Talking of Borders, I noticed in the magazine section this pink magazine which I had a flick through. Very funny. Oh and something written by Sarah Martin in it too. Its �1.50, and its on the right hand side, near the stationery in the Glasgow branch (I never stray too far from the stationery, Borders have the coolest things.. and I want it all. If you need to think about my Christmas Pressie, may I recommend something from the Borders stationery dept. Anyway, the magazine thing, can�t remember its name, but I have a feeling someone might have mentioned it before, because you lot are usually a little sharper than me on picking up on stuff like that. Or more obsessive. Went to see Amelie (I think that�s how its spelt) last weekend and I love that film. Put me in a calm happy mood. She belongs in sinister, I reckon. Anyway, I�m skiving working at the moment, and paper shuffling every few minutes to pretend to look busy. And now its nearly time to go home. J How to waste a day, my dears, how to waste a day. Love Idles ===== http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/corduroysmoke and the world did get covered in a thick haze of corduroy smoke. And it felt good. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Find the one for you at Yahoo!
