Sinister: cigarettes in the rain

[goingoutofmymind at xxx.net]

Hello,

anyways, I have only posted one other time, about a year and a half ago, and
then I realised I didnt really have that much to say, and went back to
lurking, and today, I still dont really have anything else to say but I
thought I would perhaps stop the hiding and say hello to everyone again.

Perhaps, since no one while remember me I had better introduce myself
again.....

Hi, my name is alan, and I am now 31 (please say it isnt so) and the last
time I wrote I live in Dundee in Scotland, I now live in Washington DC in
America, the last time I wrote I was engaged in a long distance romance with
a cute lebenese american girl, well its now no longer a long distance thing,
we got married in september; so in the last six months, I became a poor
small town scottish boy living in the big bad america and a married man!
being married is great, but the idea still freaks me out a little, how can I
be married?? I can barely manage to dress myself in the morning and I
regularly refer to Joanne and my girlfriend, which makes her laugh a
little....

"but we got married....in a church" she cries

So slowly but surely I am getting used to life in yankland; they drive on
the wrong side of the road...can you believe that?? and I find the drivers
and shop assistant rude for the most part (I dont what to offend any
americans on the list) but I am sure there are exceptions.

One of the best bits is that I can wander round museams all day and not have
to pay a penny to get it! what a bargain, as I love museams; but on the
downside I do miss my friends and my family; but we are going back for a
holiday in june!

We got a lot of snow last weekend almost 2 feet, so I had lots of snowy
adventures, me and joanne had a snowball fight when we were suppose to be
digging the car out, but she didnt want to build a snowman...and now its
pissing with rain, which is melting the snow but there is a danger of
flooding, but we live on the 3nd floor so our flat will be an refuge from
the deluge, but I need more cigarettes so I guess I will have to put some
boots and a jacket on an make my merry little way to the 7-11 to buy more,
ironic really, I am willing to get soaked just for the pleasure of killing
myself slowly. I keep promising myself that I will stop next week, but I
always say that, I should really stop!

I don't have a job yet, they havent seen fit to supply me with a work permit
yet, so I spend my days, cleaning the house, doing the laundry; cooking
dinner and baking cakes; I have become a proper little house wife, but I
like cooking and baking, so its all fun for me, yesterday I made a great
apple spice cake which tastes lovely with some birds custard I managed to
find at a groumet food shop, sadly I cant find irn bru anywhere.

so on that bombshell I will leave you and begin my trek for smokes, then I
should really be thinking about dinner...

hopefully I will manage to write again before next year, but if there is
anyone on the list in this area, feel free to email me..

byeeeeeee

Alan.
