I think my boyfriend has turned me into something of a musical elitest- like... I used to listen to basically nothing but contemporary stuff. Indie. Alternative. Now I puke at the concept at so much of what IS 'modern music' and instead find a kind of solace in old records- in his knowledge of music.... he's like a fucking musical encyclopaedia who can reel off...

ha ha. (re: folks and fucks). I visited York when I lived in England, but I didn't get to the northwest end. I love their accents though. I want to just leave the states. I'm tired of this place. So are you for or against Blair on this war thing? I hate it. I think it's leading to trouble. I'd move across the ocean right now though, if i could find any ol' job there!

'Increased levels of eccentrity'? Yeah that sounds like us. We're incredibly forward at being backards. I blame 'Braveheart' myself.

"She was saying that most of us only have two or three genuinely interesting moments in our lives, the rest is filler, and that at the end of our lives, most of us will be lucky if any of those moments connect together to form a story that anyone would find remotely interesting"

I'll be lucky to string together a whole SENTENCE about my life anybody would want to read. Though maybe if I repeated it over and over and set it to music, it'd make an okay song to dance to.
There's a huge, beautiful old theatre here in Austin -- the Paramount -- which shows classic movies every summer. A couple of years ago I got to see a double feature of _Blade Runner_ and _A Clockwork Orange_ on the big screen... quite an experience.
Glad to turn you on to the Jellyfish box... always happy to find another fan. I don't understand why they didn't hit it big, either. They got lots of play on the "modern rock" station in Dallas when I lived around there, but never crossed over into the mainstream. Makes no sense at all to me.

I so love this little.... community. I think it is actually making my dimples biger the way it makes me smile sometimes...
So it's late- I stayed up to watch 'Your Friends and Neighbours' which was... a great little movie- it felt sort of like a play, but I think the director must surely have been a plawright before, just the way it was constructed-...

Hi... I did indeed say "Jellyfish box set." It's called "Fan Club" (surprise) and is for sale at notlame.com. It's 4 discs of demos, live performances, interviews, etc. -- all unreleased stuff. VERY cool if you're a fan.
So you're in Scotland? Lucky! I've toyed with the idea of looking for a university position up there when I (eventually) finish my degree. Scotland just strikes a chord in me -- probably hereditary, since that's where most of my ancestors came from. And of course I'm strongly motivated to move out of the U.S. with Warlord Bush and his chorus of devils at the helm. Bleah.

instant grin from ear to ear 
Y'see that's why this is such a great place- Involvement! Interaction! It's liek a special kinda church where if you talk to the angels- they can talk back, only the angels...

aww it's so cool that i'm one of your top three. you have a really interesting journal. the loaves of bread thing reminded me of "the state" the sketch comedy show that used to come on mtv. the guy who was ostracized because he had bologne sandwiches instead of feet. hehe
you have a really interesting journal. the loaves of bread thing reminded me of "the state" the sketch comedy show that used to come on mtv. the guy who was ostracized because he had bologne sandwiches instead of feet. heheI'm a walking disaster today. Arguments. Screaming. Throwing things. I broke a mirror. Intentionally. There's seven years of bad luck I need like I need... a dose of smallpox.
Uy. Writers block. Today for the record was a disaster. My boyfriend should hate me- I don't know why he doesn't with all the PMS shit I throw at him when I'm *not* even menstruating... just...

Yes! You know what someone should patent- A chain of venues where you can go and hire a soundproof room full of things you can take all your aggressiona nd frustration out on- Just go to one of these places and scream and bawl and run around and knock things over until all those inner-demons are well and truly out.... That's what I need. I need a good primal wailing session. Uy. Book me a room in the rubber motel cause I'm officially all fucked-up!
training. i love it sooooooo much. okay okay, so all kidding aside i met a very sweet boy who i'm pretty sure is *slow*... he was so nice though. waited for me to check out bank acocunts at Lloyds TSB on our lunch break and stuff... very strange indeed. he's into acting with youth group (not churchy thank fack) at the Rep theatre and he...

Sketches, sketches, sketches- I swear these sketchbooks are endless, like I swear some demon has made them in such a way that I will never get to the end of any of them, and thus they will be half empty come submission date. I guess I can cruise by on the strength of some of the other stuff in my portfolio like my contes, a...

Middle of the week = Middle of the road... Mmm, not exactly. I feel kinda perky tonight.
Is there anything better than hanging out at the pub when you're feeling bummed out, and people-watching with a good drink in you? I think not... Okay there are many things better than that but very few you can do alone
So that's where I hung out this...

A dreary Tuesday in Dundee- There's nothing like gray light and artistic un-inspiratiuon to screw up your head and make you feel so muggy you just wanna crawl backj into bed, pull the covers over your head and wait for Wednesday-
I didn't, of course, though. Too much to do, too little time. I watched Iain potter around in his baggy pants being the ever-frustrated...

Hope your indian food was good... Yeah. I hate days like that too, where any and every task seems impossible... but you know you CAN'T just curl up in bed and ignore the weather. I hate having shit to do on those days.
Anyways, you rock. I love your profile. I love your movie tastes! oh, and I love that you've read the Hottest State. Have you read Ash Wednesday yet? i haven't gotten around to it...

And I am sssssooooo hungry for dinner that i must reluctantly drag my ass away now!
Take it easy, have a good night too

"I got some satisfaction from lifting up your dress
A slap in the face is worth a hundred words.
When I open my eyes again I expect that you'll be gone,
But you always do what I expect.
I'm stopping everything, making fun of myself,
Drinking lipstick, tipping bookshelves,
Ripping up words that I thought were important
- maybe that'll blow the window open.
Everything I say is a stupid lie.
I won't tell the truth even when I die.
I'll pick myself to pieces 'til the end of time,
Then I'll glue them back together in a stupid rhyme, yeah yeah.
There's a story of a girl so sleepy, she could not be roused.
She was kissed by pigs and doctors all over the land.
The birds in the trees came down and landed in her hair.
They built a nest and the little birdies hatched it there.
Teach me something, rip out my hair,
Send me flying through the air.
Do something why don't you, fuck it, do something,
I'm so bored I sleep...
Why don't you go out and talk some shit,
Stand up kick 'em all in the family jewels.
We'll watch them as their guts unfold,
Then we'll rob a 7-11 and hit the road.
I can be quiet or I can be loud,
Anything to make my daddy proud.
We'll take hostages make demands,
Set fire to all our best laid plans.
We'll assemble volatile explosive devices,
Sell them for exorbitant prices.
Purchase an aircraft learn to fly,
Run out of gas while we're in the sky.
Automatic pilot and x-ray spex,
We were kissing in the cockpit when the airplane wrecked.
Everything I say is a stupid lie.
I won't tell the truth even when I die.
I'll pick myself to pieces 'til the end of time,
Then I'll glue them back together in a stupid rhyme, yeah yeah. "
