if you're looking for a change in image or a change in lifestyle, I recommend contracting tonsillitis. do you contract tonsillitis? let me expand: since getting tonsillitis and getting rid of tonsillitis and then getting it again three things have happened. that I have noticed. so far. I. acquired a new hairstyle [due to lengthened bed-rest] II. lost twelve pounds in weight [at least] III. got rid of a lot of friends due to my talking about tonsillitis. I'm on the look-out for new friends. obviously. or, at least, I'll act like I am. this could be the start of a whole new life for me. thank you tonsillitis! the london picnic is scheduled for the twenty-fifth of august? and people were arranging entertainment or dancing or something for the evening? hey! dean friedman's playing at the spitz on the evening of that day. so. yeah. arrange some entertainment or dancing or something. there's supposed to be another picnic being arranged in scotland too. right? I watched my black sessions/beat patrol cassette again recently. the picture quality really isn't so great. but you get the idea. I got it in while I was holidaying. from ditch records in victoria on vancouver island in british columbia in canada. north america. the man said there had been a leak the night before and the cassette might be water damaged. so he gave me if for half price. the price was already quite little as it was. I don't think the bad picture quality has much to do with the leak the night before. I brought a lot of things back from canada. I think I left some things there too. dimitra's post was lovely. of course. and I'll pretend [in my head] like I had something to with her liking glasgow a lot. there are a few promises of people having flats or houses and there being tea parties or board game tournaments. I like promises. I like promises. I like promises after they've been kept and you've got nothing to look forward to. and I like promises that won't be kept too, but only while you still think they will be kept. I like tea. my brother had a party at his flat on friday and he invited me and I went. and he had lots of friends there than I had never met. and I made a joke about christmas presents and how good they are and a few people liked it. but none of seemed them liked it as much as I did. although I didn't let anyone know that I liked it at all. and I drank two bottles of wine and passed-out. I got the train home the next day with my brother. and we drank coffee in the station. and we must have appeared as if we were grown-ups. it was very wet yesterday. but it didn't seem to affect my new hairstyle much. and I'm back into glasgow today to choose a detail to draw at a lot of different scales for no reason. and to read a thousand pages of fire regulations for one little piece of information. and draw stuff. yeah. I have less than a fortnight. and I'll know if I'll be continuing. my mum works for the SQA. but she didn't last year. I thought about including a story I wrote at the weekend. but why would I do that? anyhow, I got all the angles wrong. there's a thing about angles. maybe. from: richard. ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
