This is ace. You know how lots of people are posting about being students and being back at college and stuff? Well, I'm currently masquerading as a student who's back at college. Cause it turns out that even though I graduated in the summer I can still log onto the computers, therefore get free internet access! Huzzah! I'm not really sure that I'm supposed to be doing this, so I'm hiding in the corner of the computer lab crapping myself that I might be thrown out onto the street at any moment. Actually, my matriculation card doesn't expire until August next year, so I'm beginning to suspect that I've maybe still got a year to go and nobody's told me and the whole graduation thing was just a particularly vivid dream. Maybe I'll wake up tomorrow and find Bobby Ewing in the shower. So I've spent this morning catching up on the posts I've missed in the past few days when I've been suffering from Olympic withdrawal. You know, staring at blank TV screens all day and all night. Actually, I was pretty much like that before the Olympics as well. But it was like losing a friend when it finished. It's inspired me to become an Olympian myself, though. Can anyone think of any sports for unfit lazy people with little commitment and a disturbing lack of co-ordination? Me neither. The modern pentathalon looked fun. Very swashbuckling - horse riding, shooting, fencing, running and one other that I can't remember. Errol Flynn would've excelled at it. Especially if the other was philandering. Jen's work experience tales have confirmed all my worst suspicions about old people. The cunts. They're just as bad when they're on the loose in the outside world. Pushing in front of you in bus ques and stuff. (Sorry, I know that talking about buses is such a horrendous cliche round these parts). A while back a friend of mine told me that when she's old she wants all her current friends to meet up and live in the same old folks home and cause havoc. Although obviously not to helpless work experience girls, just the evil staff. Best to try to avoid the ones run by nuns, mind. This is actually National Old People week in Britain. And today's National Poetry Day. So if you're an old person who happens to be a poet you're onto a winner. John Maxwell enthused: "I saw Blue Peter. That new girl is so much better than Katy Hill. I cant remember her name at the moment. She must be the perfect BP presenter. She smiles all the time, shes intelligent-ish, she is reasonably good looking, and shes a good cook." Sounds like a lovely little wife for you, John! She has a very angular haircut as well. They had a feature about the Spanish Civil War last night and had their serious faces on. Neat-o. I'm not at all confident that this post isn't just a total bunch of arse. Lurve Ian N. ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
