dearest all

>out of interest..has anyone here ever stuck a marble up their nose?

which i haven't, but, you know playmobil? yes? good. well, my brother once
hooked a small playmobil umbrella up his nose and got it stuck round the top
inside bit of his nose, and we had to take him to the hospital. it was a
blue umbrella. that's all i remember. apart from laughing.

well, indeed, it is my birthday. and lots of people have said happy
birthday, which is quite lovely. although unfortunately the chef at work
insisted on
putting a sign up in my coffee room saying 'i'm 19 today, please be nice'.
she's a mad chef, so i didn't dare take it down. that's mad as in more than
a tad
looper. wanders around the pub wearing snorkeling goggles. with slices of
cucumber up
her nose.

de qween of england came to oxford today. she was wearing canary yellow. she
drove past and
everyone said 'look, she just drove past', but i wasn't looking. not very
exciting, i know, i've never been able to write well to the list.

also, i was in the oxford mail. with photos. well, one photo of me looking
like i'd woken up half and hour ago. which i had. they quote me as saying
'when trains have been cancelled they have provided a taxi, which is good'.
i wish i'd said 'which is nice' instead. the homeless bloke who i pass to
and from work and give my meagre tips to, spoke to me about it -'you were in
the paper, smirking'. oh. well.

how come nick and ailsa can articulate things and i cannot? do either of you
want to act as my spokesperson? does it help to have something to say first?
i think i'll stick to simply seconding you instead.


i can't think of anything to end this with. i hate dr. pepper. it tastes
awful. crack, or no crack, i cannot abide it. when i want to take crack i
don't beat around the bush, i just whip out my little homemade crack pipe
and
away i go. incidentally, those will self short stories tough tough toys blah
blah blah.. were crap.

love alix
