Sinister: take me back to the atlantic breeze

[fountainhead]

there was a guadalumpan chap who lived in the flat next
door to me at university.  he spent all year calling me 'gee'.
whenever anyone phoned and asked for lee, he would
insist that they muct mean 'gee'.  t'confused the hell out of
my dad.

bloke selling tigermilk - you'll find that the market has crashed
and originals are now worth 73p.  i'm in a good mood, so i'll
give you £1.12 for it so that i'll have a full set of original
tigermilk table mats.

sex education.  when we were 12 our science teacher walked
into class and said 'penis'.  everybody burst out laughing and
she refused to teach us sex-ed until the third year when we
might have grown up.

and finally.  love.
maybe there is no 'one' perfect person for each of us.  maybe
we each have several people who could be perfect.  i hope
so because i've met one person who i feel sure is perfect, but
geography has cast it's evil spell over us.  when i think of all
the wonderful people that i've met before and since, it saddens
me that 'she' is still the one that i think of when the subject of
love rears it's spikey head.

so is it really better to have loved and lost, than never to have
loved at all?  i'm not sure.  i don't think that the last three years
of lonliness are a fair price to pay for the snapshot of
perfection that i still cling to.
