i don't know how the weather is where you lot live but i've been burried in snow for the last two days. i thought i'd share the delightment (is that a word?) of winter to those snow deprived listees out there by showing you an ink polariod of my new years eve. i arrive at the house party, the sky is frosty black and twinkling. i crack open a cider and reach for my first ciggy for the eve. but no, my hand is swatted away, for there is no smoking in this little house. my jaw hangs down...but we're drinking, how can we not smoke? go outside i'm told, and am shown to the door. i didn't think my mitts would be needed so they sat warmly in my closet at home. stuggling to hold my cider and retreave my lighter i carefully climb through the thigh high snow bankes to the side of the house, since the wind is a little less nippy over there. so i stand....engulfed in snow, hair whipping round my face, and attempt to flick the bloody lighter with my already purple thumb. finally a flamb, and my first toasty inhalation. within two minutes though all feeling has left my hands. my cigarette will either break under pressure from my frozen hands, or drop to the ground from lack of grip. i switch hands. even worse. the cigarette is whipped away in the wind and i stand there pathetically in a snow bank, behind a house. that was it for my smoking. i'm quitting til april. possibly. cheers to anyone who actually read that, and sympathies to anyone who can relate. anyother exciting news to i can think of? i stabbed myself and bled absolutely everywhere including my freshly washed white carpet. the carbon monoxide detector keeps going off in my house but my mum thinks the basement looks too messy to have anyone over, so she said she'll wait for one of the cats to die so she knows its serious and then she'll call someone. right. so if i'm alive...till next time cheers xo please don't spoil my day i'm miles away and after all i'm only sleeping - j. lennon ______________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
