Hewwo, Isn't the summer grate? Everything's all alive and buzzing. Did you see the lightning storms last week? They were swell indeed. My cat was a bit scared of them though. Also thanks to everyone who was really nice about me getting a kicking, speshly sam walton. I've had an interesting week. The blonde and I got lots of prank calls from the girls who put me in hospital, and they came after one of my friends, who was luckily ok. Yesterday I went out to the swing park with the blonde and boy shouted lewd things at us, the blonde painted my nails and I impressed her with all the words I'd learnt from Viz which people brought me to read in the hospital. Doesn't Johnjohn write really well? He does. Everyone seems to hate my goldfish; I don't know why. I gave him the name Bubbles but then I kept changing it because I got bored and because he only has a ten second memory I'm told, so it wouldn't cause him any upheaval. Only then I thought it was a bit unfair to keep messing him around like that, so I stuck with Bubbles, because I have no imagination. He's more than four years old now, I got him from a fairground in the summer before i started high school. I wasn't allowed a fish or a pet of my own, but this lady stallholder just shoved him into my hands, in a little plastic bag, and walked off. So I think it was fate that he came to be living with me, even though my parents went a bit nuts, and made me keep him in the garden shed for a year. I think they hoped he'd die but he never. He's really cute too. He's huge, with these long fins that float about and look pretty, and the biggest fishy eyes ever. And when he's hungry he looks up at you with those amazing eyes and sometimes he goes all spaz and starts banging off the walls of the tank which is really a plasic guinea pig cage because he outgrew all the normal fish tanks. Jaz thinks that he's calling the zombies to come and burst through the window, and the lovely Ian Hatcher thinks he's the root of all evil or something. But he's my fish. I had a dream that I went to live in a lift with some twin girls, to escape from Jafar from Aladdin, and we lived off Smarties, and they played Jonathon David over the intercom. I like the bit in take your carriage clock where they say "honour forbids me but homour be damned" because it reminds me of something that they said in Hornblower. I'm getting two swell things off the Internet which is highly exciting. Number one is a tee shirt which is white with purple bits on the sleeve and neck and it has a picture of shy violet from rainbow brite which is all glittery and it says Shy Violet with a little rainbow. It's grate. And the other thing is because my mum decided that I needed new shoes because of how 6 months ago I had a complex about having big feet so I bought all my shoes in the size I thought I was instead of the size I actually was (I did this with my clothes too) and when I walk my heels come out my shoes in a bad way. So anyway I'm getting PURPLE DOC MARTENS which are really really swell. I've already got tartan docs too so I think I might become obsessed with doc martens now, just for something to do now that I'm bored and I can't go out on my own. Gosh this has been a long post. Sorry if I bored you. Hugs, Jen Ps. Julian Danskin went to jail. I'm glad. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
