Sinister: smut-mongering on city buses for a hobby is sad...

[Archel1978 at xxx.com]

27 CORRECT ANSWERS IN UNIVERSITY CHALLENGE TONIGHT!!!  my musical knowledge 
may have been badly shown up at All Yesterday's Picnics, but whne it comes to 
recognising 19th century women novelists, i'm unbeatable.

speaking of which, arantxa flatteringly thought i would be the one to write 
the sinister novel, and i certainly have a few choice snippets of material 
now (though for lj's sake i will leave out the shameful isobel-bashing that 
went on at the weekend.)  don't think it will be american though.  i have too 
firm a grasp on the right length for a sentence to be the next henry james.

speaking of which (i'm just the segue queen tonight, AND there was a q. about 
that very word on UC, wow), i think i may have declared that 'punctuation is 
the most important thing in the world' at some point in the early hours of 
sunday morning.  this may seem extreme, but i've thought about it and i don't 
entirely retract it.  although i take back the egg comment unreservedly...

other picnic highlights:

- alisdair's particular contribution to said early hours (apart from flashing 
body p[arts all over the place) - an uncanny impersonation of a glaswegian 
schoolchild as heard at the beginning of IYFS.

- craig's upmarket picnic offering of an olive 'n' feta cheese combo thing.  
with flumps.

- ailsa nearly breaking her nose on trousers' back while drunk in charge of a 
shopping trolley.

- speculating about struan's 'winky' dimensions on a bus going to stoke 
newington.

- the 'out of the frying pan into the colander' name game on sunday night, 
where mark 'has everyone got a pen and paper now?' casarotto discovered his 
new vocation as a primary school teacher.

- generally, everyone being absolutely sweet and lovely to a picnic virgin 
with only flumps and chocolate fingers to recommend her.  thanks!
