hello sweeties i have just converted my jeans into flares and it has gone horribly wrong. they look absurd. the problem is they're my only pair of trousers without risque holes in, and i have to wear them to work tomorrow. i am a fule. it seemed such an easy thing to do, but proved mighty tough. i ought to have taken textiles. it would have been a darned sight more handy than graphics. and i'd know how to work a sewing machine without breaking it. i am stuck with trousers that look stupid now. like baggy gone even wronger than it went anyway. and i missed that nick drake thingy last night. i went to bed at 8.45 accompanied by a migraine. today however has been great fun. that was a lie. i took the train to bicester, (pronounced 'bister'. or 'hell', if you like to keep your syllable output to a minimum), simply because i haven't been to bicester in years. it served only to remind me why i had stayed away that long. they didn't have any bellendsebastian in woolworths, just steps. tragedy indeed. but they did have barbie tablecloths. i stared at those for a while, before thinking 'pull yerself together, lad'. i wandered back to the station about 1/2 hour before my train left, out of boredom, went to a garage to buy something to read, couldn't find anything, save shit girly stuff, so i opted for 'minx', because it was £2 and i admired its no nonsense price. if it had been, say, £1.95, i would have left it on the shelf. having now perused it, i must say i did find the article on 'the lies men tell' so interesting that i was forced to fall asleep. likewise the 'what kind of girl are you?' piece. i was most disappointed to find i wasn't any of the types listed. does this mean i'm not a girl? i so wanted to be 'ambitious girl' (um, i'm joking). anyway, the moral of this story is don't go to bicester. and don't buy magazines for women. and don't even attempt anything involving sewing machines. that's all really. loads of love ~ ~ Cratylus 'I WANT to break the HEAD OFF, I want a toy that ROCKS, because SANTA bought a multitude and I'm playing with the box.
