i'm sporting a plaster on the side of my head now. i haven't worn a plaster since i was about 12. i always used to like the novelty of wearing a plaster for about two hours but then i got bored of them. so ripped them off and made my cuts ten times worse. anyway, now i'm i can wear my plasters for more than two hours and i can appreciate their usefulness. i got my cut in the most foolish way possible. i was in a rush to get to college this morning so i ran out of the front door. because it's winter there's ice around now, and the door ledge was icey so i slipped up. then i fell over on the concrete. because i had my bag on i fell to my side in one swift motion. it would've been better to not have had my bag on so then i could've at least raised my arms to protect myself, but instead my head hit the floor. for once i had a decent excuse for being late for my class, "why are you late nafees?"...."oh you know...fell out of the door...the usual". the only bad thing about wearing a plaster is explaining to everybody why you're actually wearing a plaster. which induces the laughter and sniggers. after reading about ken's *almost* encounter with a celebrity, i thought it would be fitting to tell about mine the other day which i forgot to mention. when i was at the bonnie prince billy gig waiting for my friend i saw a pasty faced, floppy fringed man in big glasses and a big brown tweed jacket. yup, it was jarvis cocker. i was surprised actually, because i always thought he was really tall...but he's not. but he is however, really skinny. i didn't speak to him but i did do the acknowledging nodding of the head that seems to be innate with all northerners. -- i went looking for a job yesterday, but i didn't find one. well i got application forms and one interview. but i'm not sure i want the job i have an interview for, but as i my mother was quick to remind me...beggars can't be choosers. i'm not very good at filling in forms, mainly because i don't know how to answer them. it's those silly questions like "what qualities do you possess?" and "why do you feel you are suitable for this job?" that throw me. i am however, good at filling in the questions that go "name", "address", "telephone number". i need to fill them in by saturday so i suppose i better start tomorrow. i need to make a CV too. ack. too much stuff to do. it would be nice if there was a job that paid you for doing whatever you wanted. has anybody else noticed that there seems to be a lot of B & Q warehouses opening recently, or is it just in north west area? george bush used the phrase "kodak moment" today. take care, nafees. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
