The bons mott, gnight all.

However, IMHO, it's about time the RCC had a Pope with his feet in the real blood and guts world

I didnt know the Pope actually had feet anymore. Soon, once he explodes in his sleep during something important, he'll be in the real blood and guts world. It will happen, it really will.

This evening, I babysat my nieces. I've decided my kids are gonna stay at 18 months forever. Cause I definetaly cant be arsed with the seven year olds, without sounding the meanest bitch auntie in the world. '

Dont wash my hair. Why are you washing my hair?' "Mummy asked me to, love." 'I dont WANT you to wash my hair. I dont care if its greasy. Baths are crap. This bath is too cold. I hate baths. I dont WANT to get out the bath. I dont CARE if it's getting cold. Stop tugging my hair, I'll tell mum.' "I'll tell your mum you're causing me hassle." 'No you wont. Not today. You wouldnt dare tell my mum. She wouldnt believe you anyway.'
The 18 month old one, she plays, she sits on the potty, she cant wait to get in the bath, she drinks her milk and she goes to bed. Fantastic. But then apparently 2nd kids are usually a lot less hassle. Im going to have lots of second-children.

How was it Maz?

I’ve always wanted to call someone bopper, can I call you bopper Gingerbop?

22:20 / 19.10.03

Judging by my scores, I shouldn't be allowed out of the house without a helmet. So it'll be depression for the remainder of October, followed by trying to relearn math and then giving it another shot in November. I've forgotten everything I knew about algebra and trig, the pythaogrean theorum was my only friend. This is so damned humiliating.

However, I have a great deal of chocolate cake, and I have too much to do next week, so the big sulk is probably gonna have to wait till Halloween.

I'm sorry babysitting went badly. I've never been able to stand doing it. Children don't respond to logic, and it's illegal to threaten them. I think I've agreed to look after other peoples' spawn all of five times in my life. But an auntie can seldom avoid it.

22:23 / 19.10.03

Good evening. Today I have been:

- Getting up late. Ate toast and jam for breakfast.

- Watched My Neighbour Totoro. For the third time.

- Had a crappy burger for lunch.

- Watched Finding Nemo. Thought it was fairly bollocks, especially after watching a proper kids movie that morning. From watching the trailers I thought, "Why would a movie about fish be interesting or funny?" Turns out it wasn't interesting or funny.

- Finished Foucault's Pendulum. The kind of book that I might want to reread in a couple of years. Thought it was half brilliant, half dry and pompous.

- Ate soup and garlic bread for dinner. The soup was potato and leek with quite a bit of ginger. Yum!

- Found the fourth and final empty bottle in Zelda - The Wind Waker. Now I want to save up and buy the piece of heart, so I stand more of a chance against Ganondorf (he's kicked my ass twice, when he turns into that wiggly worm thing).

- Bedroom fun.

- Barbelith posting and lisening to the 20 Years of Dischord compilation brings us up to now. Still can't hear out of my right ear (finished the anti-biotics today. If I go for a repeat prescription it means I won't be able to drink when I'm in London. Gah). Might have a packet of crisps in a minute. Spicy McCoys.

Today I have been:

Went to Camden.

Looked around the market.

Went to a bar and drank several exotic cocktails.

Went to a very good Tapas restaurant.

Came home and listened to Johnny Cash after watching part of Gladiator.

Furnished my myspce profile.

Drank some more wine.

22:41 / 19.10.03

Hopefully avoiding de-railed tubes, panarchy, and saving all Doc Martens in Camden from said train.

Hmm. That sucks a bit, Maz. Its ok though, dont panic- I will admit you to my grad school. Its great. We eat pancakes all day for a year or so, and come out the end with a PhD in pancake-eating, but we can just rename it (cause its my school and we can do what ever the fuck we want) so now I am or I have (not sure which is correct) a PhD, several MAs in pancake shaping and suchlike, renamed to Business (with German, so long as I say 'Ja, sie sind sicher gut, sie schmeckt mir fantastish!',and if i send you one, then its international Business), a BSc in appropriate-pan-temperature, which I prefer to call Civil Engineering. The only entry exam is if you can fit in the front door at the start. Cause you wont be able to leave by the end.

Today I found out there's a degree in underwear fashion. Im quite tempted to investigate further.

22:46 / 19.10.03

Pancakes are good. Been a long time since I had any.

Mistrels are also good. Especially after they've been in the fridge. Why are they called minstrels?

22:48 / 19.10.03

Two things:
1. I love pancakes.
2. I love gingerbop.

There's actually going to be a Krispy Kreme donuts, which cannot be built fast enough, down my street. They tore down an awful sushi restaurant and a decrepit scuba place to make room. I am going to be enormous.

If I can re-learn math, I should be able to get my score high enough to please the institutions I'm trying to shmooze. I'm trying not to panic/despair.

23:02 / 19.10.03

It's ok- it could be much worse. I have a university guide in front of me right now, and one of the girls on the front has a printing mark on her chin that looks like a mini-goate. Im searching for where the underwear course is. Closest I can find is Lincoln, which has an underwear-finishing machine in their faculty.

23:08 / 19.10.03

oh my god, oh my god, I know what I want to do.
Here it is!
All I need is that dang portfolio...
.. but do this, and im right into that fucking leotard company and giving them a good sorting out!

23:13 / 19.10.03

Ginchy! I wish I had your direction when I was young.

23:14 / 19.10.03

Minstrels.
Because they are sucked by cocks? Sorry, someone had to say it, it might as well be me.

23:22 / 19.10.03

Direction. Heehee.
I want to be a milliner. Im going to art college. Nah, I dont want to go to art college. Im going to do marketing management with entrepreneurship at Napier. Nah, Napier sucks. I might go next year. Maybe I wont. I might do Business at Edinburgh uni. I want to join the circus. Im going to be a trapeze artist. Lets go for a uni course that lets me stare at breasts all day, and nobody thinks anything of it.

23:34 / 19.10.03

Hey bopper, the thing about college is that loads of people want to do media studies, but then, what good is another media whore? But we all want to be one. But an art school revolution is just the thing we need in this country.

23:53 / 19.10.03

Ah yes, but if you see leotard companies, what they need is a designer, m'love.

Was gonna be clever and add a "Y" to the end of your name, P, but it doesnt really work. I could add "ee" instead. Panarchee. Or Panacheese. Or Panacotta. With raspberries. Oh god, Im hungry.

00:02 / 20.10.03

Ohh... raspberries... and champagne.

00:03 / 20.10.03

Hmm.. contour design portfolio begins next weekend. I think I'll ask my friend, F-for-Fiona to come round, and I'll life-draw her.

Anyway my dears, Im off to bed, but shall speak next weekend, when I dont have to get up in the morning. Peas and love, gBopper xx

Goodnight bopper, call me anything you like.

Eeeeeeeeek !

Just woken up in my office (at work) with my forehead on the keyboard. Daren't venture out into more populated areas in case someone asks me why I've got 'GFDSA' imprinted above my eyebrows.

Best move right now would be to make thick, gloopy, strong, black coffee and make a starlit foray on to the fire escape for a sneaky cig, in the hope that the near-freezing temperatures jolt me awake.

P.S.

Is it just me, or is gingerbop just about the nicest barbeloid ever to grace this board?

10:51 / 20.10.03

Hellllloooo?

I feel like I'm in a haunted house and everyone has disappeared, maybe everyone has Monday off.

Sure is quiet around here.

03:13 / 21.10.03

Hey anyone!

04:02 / 21.10.03

Hey there chief. What's the what?

04:22 / 21.10.03

I am here. I am drinking beer called "Hoegaarden".

hehehe...

00:57 / 22.10.03

Well then...shall we? Seeing as how we are rudely being kicked out of one thread in particular. I shall comment here

"Trix, you should have business cards with that on it."

you know what I mean, Keggers. how about YOUR Canadian Stripper friend. Kinda personalizes it.

So, Trix, tell me, is a hoe a hoe in deutsch?

>>fun pic post of a garden implement<<

02:29 / 22.10.03

I dunno. Hold on..let me get a beer...

back...okay, it takes it's name from Hoegaarden in Belgium. Other than that, I don't know.

I'll bet someone hoes gardens in Belgium.

Was just reading in an old Mother Earth News about hoophouse greenhouses. You can produce vegz in winter if your lucky and their hardy.

That and about hens.

Rumors are flying to and fro tonight that Elliott Smith has committed suicide. Anyone here heard anything for sure?

14:04 / 24.10.03

Did any of the Londonoids just see Concorde flying over then? *sniff*

Nope. They're grounding our super-planes left, right and centre. I don't care about this quite as much as the space shuttle.

14:14 / 24.10.03

They're just getting rid of all the old-tech before they bring in the teleportation pods.

14:23 / 24.10.03

It's LONGER than you think DADDY!!!! IT'S LONGER THAN YOU THINK

Ah teleportation pods...

Hello Barbebabes,

I know it's 4 a.m. but I'm just in from reliving the 70's, courtesy of the badge-making night at Duckie (for funds for Stonewall) and it was astonishingly good. My badge said SLE- now available -AZE. andf black. I should be working for an advertising company. I would make the whole world queer!
