good morning thommo!
How are you?
Where were you working, if I can ask?
Thirdly, do you like shortbread?
i'm okay
bit sleepy. But okay.
i have a weekend job as a dinnerlady in a university building that currently houses exchange students. It's tedious, yes.
What are you up to today? And yes i like shortbread. Do you like spiders?
aw :)
I got home a couple of hours today, was gonna do some notes for essays, but I'm watching BBC3 terrible programmes on BBC i-player e.g. Sasha: The Pre-Teen Beauty Queen
Me - sleep soon, read a book...I have my week off from tomorrow morning, yay
What are you doing today?
I have something to send you - are you still at the same place?
yay :)
yeah i saw a bit of that Sasha thing. i am a bit fascinated by the grotesqueness of Snog Marry Avoid at the moment though. i think they should have called it Shag Marry Kill, but that's the Beeb for you.
i am going to visit my Dad and other assorted family today so have a train to catch in an hour or so. i am also making a mixtape from the exchange that i've not got round to making for ages...i'm getting a bit worse at staying abreast of them.
i am at the same place for about a month from now, so, yeah, i can pm you it if you want. That's very kind of you though :) aww.
ha ha
I saw Shag Marry Kill as well! I don't really get it. Why do they always ask bespectacled bookish types what they think of the sub-WAG girls? It makes no sense.
I like that there's no cod-psychological assessment either. Why do you think it's okay to look like Geri Halliwell in '97? Are you well? etc.
You made the awesome CD and the card was super-cool :) I will elaborate - still have your address, but yeah, PM would be useful, cheers
:)
well
i guess they wanted to ask people who they knew would say they'd rather not do the two-backed beast with them. i guess indie is in at the moment so they end up dressing everyone like Kate Jackson and berate them if a few months later they decide to change back.
i don't suppose you want any more music magazines do you? And would you like my polka-dot blouse? It's a bit big on me though so i guess it would look like a maternity shirt on you, just a thought anyway, i've got to get rid of some stuff....
yeah, that's true :)
But then whenever someone does look very unaverage (whatever) they refuse to change them because they have 'inner beauty' and they end up being confused.
It reminds me of Star Test, which was a really rubbish show on channel 4, where a lady computer would ask semi-famous people questions. Except not as good.
Ah, polka dots. I have a 'playsuit' (never wear a playsuit - most complicated clothing ever) and a dress. A shirt would be over-doing it, but thank you. x
i remember star test!
Only vaguely though, i don't remember any sprcific bits of it.
i reckon you'd rock a playsuit pretty well, i guess anybody wearing one would have to resist evacuating themselves for a few hours. i managed to find a men's shirt with polka dots, which i thought didn't exist. i have a red polka dot dress that is getting a bit too small for me so i'll probably be getting shot of that soon too, in case you change your mind.
s'okay
If I have anything I'm getting rid of I'll let you know. The fabric will be nice even if there's not enough of it to wear.
Yes, it's very depressing having to strip off in one's work toilet every four hours or whatever. Never again.
and yes
I love spiders, especially the small cute ones you can put back outside. I think they're house spiders though, so that might be mean
i think spiders are both fab and gear
i like watching them on the ceiling. i don't really know why people don't like them.
morning!
I will reply to your pm in a bit, just watchng Juno with my brother, and trying to decide what to do today...maybe a swim.
haha, no worries.
i have to check your address in a moment.
morning!
i was content before. i'm angry now. i hate drama.
*hug*
*hug back*
i don't understand anything that's going on in that thread. i'm gonna stay away from it now.
