hello leedle kidz!! what a day hey?? not only did i attend the funeral of a great-grandmother whom i barely knew and didn't care to due to her DISAPPROVAL of my mother and all she stood for --scandal!! this should be on some rubbish soap centered around kids from the 'wrong side of the tracks' -- something like THE HEIGHTS - ha!!! do we all remember that?? with that Jamie Bloggs guy who sang some pathetic college rock songs ... hey! that must be me!!! i'm that kid!! hehe... Anyway not only did I have to go to a funeral in which I didn't belong back but I also had a meeting with my film lecturer who says she is going to get me published in an academic journal... ha!! and i'm only an undergrad! what bollocks right?? well it's a funny, nice, sweet thought even if she is temporarily insane... List-wise though i do actually have something worthwhile (questionable...) to contribute:

AND!! i saw manda rin from bis twice this week! yeah, i know, it's bis... but i want to be manda almost as much as i want to be emma pollock from the delgados.

well a funny thing about this is that when bis came to sydney way back in 97 for a tiny promo visit (they played one tiny show and another tiny instore) i was having a bit of a chat with manda and steven and some guy who was with em butted in and kept exclaiming that if manda had blonde hair ( my natural colour which i happened to have very briefly at that point) then she would look just like me, which resulted in communal agreement and encouragement. this was exceedingly bizarre as i had had many a local indiekid tell me the same thing but to hear it from tha grrl herself was exceedingly bizarre -- i figured it was only because we are both shorties, with bobbed hair and we look about 5 years younger than we actually are...and i still stand by that!!! hehe . but it seems that i'm 'one of those people' who always get singled out as looking like 'some other person'. Fr'instance : a cousin who was killed in a car accident (spooky! i don't feel entirely comfortable with this); christina ricci ( i have black hair now which encourages the comparison and we have similar looking eyes); and someone's friend from first year and etc etc, the list goes on... I don't get it yet i must *endure* it daily, she exclaims with hand raised dramatically to forehead..

RAINBOW BRITE!!!... The best colour kid is Shy Violet. She has knee high socks, and big glasses. She should be on sinister.

i had a very cool Shy violet doll -- she smelt like that funny synthetic grape smell and she was as purple as can be. if only i was still in possession I could help you out Jen but , alas! my nanna got rid of her in a neurotic "spring cleaning" about 7 or 8 years ago and i didn't discover her absence until a couple of weeks later when she had been shipped off to some unknown destination... <sob>. poor old violet she was always such a great pal, smelling that smell to the very last... enough witty banter i say!! time to move on !! and so i go.. xkaty * * "What if everything is an illusion and nothing exists?
