Sinister: frozen ducks,chubby cherubs and the bride of frankenstein....
hello..... ...well happy new year to everyperson and i hope you all had a lovely christmas.....i'm sure you're all sick of tales of other peoples festive celebrations and mine arent really that interesting....but i'll make you all suffer anyway..... ....well christmas itself was offically great...on christmas eve all my family went to church in a big draughty school hall which wasnt really that tinsely but there were lots of chubby faced cherubs looking excited at the thought of mr claus so i couldnt help but feel all warm and spangly....it did cross my mind that by 11 o clock the next morning said cherubs would be vomiting up the vast quantities of chocolate they had consumed and stamping on the new pokewotsit toys they had recieved from exasperated parents...but youre only young once and i felt spangly all the same.... ....christmas day was lovely as well...got some WOW! presents including pulp,david bowie and kathryn williams cd's....if you havent already got the kathryn williams one (little black numbers) then i cant emphasise enough how good and wonderful and beautiful it is.....if you buy a copy and dont like then you can come round my house and poke my eyes out with a pointy stick....and thats as good a recommendation as i can give....had a nice crimbo dinner with asorted relatives,got a wee bit tipsy,ate some more and snoozed while people with bad irish accents drowned in a big icy boat (titanic was on)....so it was a normal,safe,boring.....but fantastic christmas.... ...hmmmmm...as for the rest of the festive time....it was a bit mixed...like a kind of post-christmas/whole year burnout....i've just felt a bit low all week....no paticular immense reason....just the usual paranoia,lonliness and general arggggghhh feeling...but i went and sat in a big park in town while the last of the snow was melting...it was about four o clock in the afternoon, the sun was looking a bit tired and the big pond was half frozen over so the some of the ducks had to stand on the ice and shiver..and i felt a bit better after sitting there for half an hour.... ...as for new years eve...hmmmm....that was kindagood but kindadepressing at the same time....started the evening by drinking cheap champagne and blue nun...i felt like a real yuppie...and then went to the only safe haven for goodish music here and got drunk....but everyone was being really miserable and i seemed to be the only one determined to have a good time...which makes a change because its usually the other way round...so evryone got sick of being in the pub so we went to someones house,smoked bad things,saw in the new year,hugged everybody,watched the bride of frankenstein,felt ill,felt better,felt sleepy and walked home about three o clock.....i then felt really awful and cried for the first time in ages..then i wrote down loads of resolutiony type stuff and felt much better before finally going to sleep in the smallest of hours.... ...so thats been my festive time.....not too gripping but quite nice overall....i hope everybody has the best year ever..... ta ta! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
