Sinister: drifting into the arena of the unwell

[Rachel Playforth]

i saw in the new year with a quick snog before returning to suitably
festive programming - 'the wicker man' on channel 4.  we know how to
party in brighton.  i had been to a party beforehand, actually, but left
as soon as vomit became a feature.  i am a grown-up now, after all.

christmas was fine, lovely.  chaos did threaten to break out over a game
of Balderdash, due to my gran forgetting the rules every 5 seconds, but
a few more gin and tonics all round and we were miraculously in harmony
again.  at least one member of the family was asleep at any given moment
on xmas day, which also helped keep the peace.

i did not go bowling.  this is because i was dramatically ill with what
may have been flu, but was more likely chocolate withdrawal.  also my
boyfriend hoovered up my knitting by mistake so my bowling outfit was
ruined... instead i pondered a lot on the events of 2001 (both personal
and political) and decided that i am in danger of wasting my life. 
coming back to work and finding the place like a tomb hasn't helped with
this feeling - i'm doing about as much good behind this desk as a
stapler.

i suppose the fact that i'm moving into my lovely flat at the dawning of
2002 is a good omen, but what was i thinking renting an attic?  i have
spent the morning lugging shelves, futons, chairs and assorted junk up
an unreasonable number of stairs and have rushed to work probably
covered in dust.

well, only 363 more days to mess up...

luv archel xxx
