this is late, i know. it's already 1 october in the UK, but i'm not there. i'm here in the US and it's not 5:30 yet, by the clock on my computer screen. and believe me, i know when half past arrives because that's when i leave. i really did mean to write this sooner, but september has been a very short month. everyone agrees with me so it must be true. and i've been scurrying about like the hyperactive bunny i can sometimes be to find a gift for my edward. i think i've finally narrowed it down to something that he'll like and will also pass safely and quickly through customs when i post it. so you see, i've had my mind on other things lately and have not gotten around to writing one of these things until now. i still haven't written it, so let's see how it goes. oh, by the way, i've only now been subscribed to this list for ten minutes. that is, here at work anyway. i have another e-mail account at home (artyfartystudent@juno.com) but i hardly ever post to this list anyway so you may not recognise my name. i've been on since the coollist days, though. ~ink polaroid number one~ this is one of my leg. i got that bruise at a concert. i can't remember the exact moment it happened. i'm sure it happened in that adrenaline rush to climb over chairs and get to the front of the stage. after the show i pulled up my trouser leg and there it was. beautiful, isn't it? i made helen take loads of pictures of it cos i've never seen such a lovely shade of blue/purple. for days after the show, i flashed my leg at anyone who would look. i'd tell them that i got the bruise at a concert and they'd think i was tough. oh yeah. and look right there at the top. over near the top of my calf. see that swirl and that curve right there? i reckon the bruise looks like elvis! thank you for reading this. it's past 5:30 now and there's a bus with my name on it 'round the corner. :) michelle ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you can't say something nice, please phrase your insults well.
