Hewwo, I had a fun week. I had to do a public speaking competition, and I didn't win. That would be because it was public and involved speaking. Oh, and I got another hard-kid head injury. I thought I was doing pretty well this year, I've only been put in hospital 3 times, and I've only been knocked out once, which is good going. This time it was from a gobstopper, you know the big ones. But it wasn't too bad, I got my vision back pretty quickly and I managed to say 'piss off' to all the people who'd crowded round to laugh at the fact that I'd fallen backwards into a bush which is obviously really funny when someone is quite dazed and can't see and is trying not to cry. That not seeing part always frightens me, one time it'll happen and I just won't be able to see ever again. Still, I got the usual "if you grass I'll kick you in" but my blonde friend dragged me to the head, and I got sent home, and it was all highly fun, honest. Besides, I'm much more scared of my blonde friend, because she's a dominatrix (i'm serious). She keeps getting me to call her mistress, but when I do I'm being sarcastic. Only sarcasm isn't something I'm very good at. Which is probably why she tried to sell me to Igor, and keep the money. It's not that I object, it's just that I like to know when people are selling me, what with it being me and everything. I'm unreasonable that way. Tonight I went to a fantastic (that was sarcasm) Rage Against the Machine/ Offspring tribute night at the local goth club, because I'm weak and easily persuaded by my friends. So prepubescent boys jumped about with three quarter size Encore guitars, and squeaked "Fuck you I won't do what you tell me" and "Burn mother fucker burn" over and over again for 2 hours then they had to go home to their mummies. And I sat up the back on the bar worktop reading catcher in the rye and feeling horribly old because I wasn't 12 and in a mosh pit, and not many people bothered me, except the Blonde who was in a really bossy mood, and kept dragging me off to the toilet to fix her hair and her eyelashes. Oh yeah and someone showed up drunk and I had to stop her getting her head kicked in. Then at the bus stop it was raining and all my friends who were boys were mating with hard kid girls who'd just come out a nightclub. And I was humming that song that goes "fuck you I won't do what you tell me" and the Blonde said "Yes you fucking will or I'll slap you" so I looked at my tartan boots until the bus came and I went home myself. The slow version of seeing other people is grate. It sounds like everyone in the band is really tired, and you want to tuck them all up in bed because they're nice. Especially Chris Geddes, because he's so little and nice. I got phoned up at 3 o clock the other night from Igor who wanted to tell me that a rabbit called Tarquin with a man's head told him the meaning of life. But he told me that already. I worry for him, he takes too many drugs, and he's still young like me. He also likes Liz Hurley(s having dreams). Which I don't understand because she's yucky and a moke, but she still managed to get Hugh Grant who has floppy hair. Ian Hatcher's coming up tomorrow to stay for a week, and he's nice and lovely, and I'm going to an Aislers gig which should be fun. I'm all bouncy cause of that and the fact that I keep forgetting to eat but take painkillers anyway, which is really terrible, but nevermind. I'll write on the back of my hand "eat microwave pasta from Marks and Spencers" because that's all I ever eat. I want to eat bacon double cheeseburgers, but they kill cows and pigs to make them, and that's not very nice, and makes me want to cry a bit. Today I jumped out of the window in Science for a laugh and stole some purple chalk. I also dogged half of school, but it was the last day anyway, before we break for easter. I should go and stop wasting all your valuable time.
