Oh ging. There are so many better soups. Did the grown up friends bring it with, or did your friend's dad make it?

Your kittens are most fine kittens. I know someone, who has bought a £300 kitten, specially bred to be stupid. Honestly. Apparently its very white and fluffy. The other speciality of the breed, is that they are indoor cats. Meaning, they're so stupid, you cant let them out, cause they dont know that cars can kill them, and suchlike. Honestly, they are that lame and stupid. I could have strangled this girl for getting this cat, when a)its a fucking stupid cat that costs £300, and b)the are several hundred in the cat home down the road who arent so stupid.

Anna DL, Im glad you think the same of meaningless posts. As it happens, this is definetely not one. Its full of soupy goodness.

Friends dad made the soup, without having any stock. Does that still make it soup? Or just chopped up cauliflour in some creamy goop? I dunno, but it has given me smelly farts. Thank god Im veggie, or it woulda been pork and bean cassole. cauliflour + beans = major catastrophe, and lack of social interaction for at least 3 days.

My favourite soup is worm soup. Vegetable stock, spaghetti, kithiraki (greek pasta which looks like fat rice), rice, parsley. Yumm. I sickened myself of broth cause of eating it too often. It's ok occasionally. As is Heinz tomato, but has to be consumed entirely with bread. Celery and stilton stinks out the kitchen in a rancid vile way, so I cant bring myself to eating it. Potato and leek is too bland. Minestrone... It can be nice. I quite like cupasoup minestrone actually. A wee cafe I go to makes really good red pepper, tomato and red apple soup. It's mighty fine, and you get a good hunk of proper yummy brown bread and lots of butter with it.

I think of myself as a soup conniseur.

Ours, delightfully, are not specially bred to do anything- they're mutts. They're far too smart for their own good, but it's fun to watch them problem-solving. I didn't realize I could adore something so much so fast. Cuteness really is the finest survival skill. If they could spit poison, they'd have it made.

Did I ever give you my cream of asparagus soup recipe? I can't recall if you're not an asparagus fan.

Hmm... this cat (may he RIP. His poor lovely friend misses him) is a dead ringer for my cat George. He's his identical twin. Scary. Anyway George is a foreign lilac and he cost £80 in the late '80s. He's half Siamese, half Havana and he's very determined. He looks like he's about the same colour as your cats. Really I just want you all to know how gorgeous he is.

Spock?
I used to have a thing against siameses, til I met one, who was lovely.

I dont think Im an asparagus fan. But then for about 13 years I thought I wasnt a pizza fan. Meaning I've never eaten asparagus, and imagine it to be icky and green tasting. Taste like anything else, or is it indescribable?
 
 
Mazarine
01:30 / 09.02.04
Well, it does kind of taste green, but not in a spinacy or what grassy way. I can't really describe it. Next time I make the soup I'll try to think of anything I can compare it to.

I imagine it tasting like brocolli, but with a sturdier texture. But then I do abide in an asparagus free house. Always seems scary in a you-only-get-two-bits kind of a way. I dont know why thats as intimidating as it is.
 
 
Mazarine
01:50 / 09.02.04
It's kinda like the stem of broccoli, but without the sort of radishy burn to it. Does that make any sense?
 
 
gingerbop
01:50 / 09.02.04
Wait... abide? My humble abode. But abide... "I cant abide..."... but you do abide in a house too? I am having word trouble.
Anyway. I live in an asparagus free home. Is what I meant. Ooh. Post 1300.

I don't think you abide in a house. I could be wrong but that's for a third party to determine.

Hi.

Hello 3rd party. Does one abide in a house?

Im going to bed now, my loves, before I get too addicted to Ebay again. But Im bidding on a funky juicer. Cause I really need a juicer. Honest. And something from within me is calling for moonboots, and then Im thinking I need a silly dress to go with them. *sigh* Im hooked.
Nunight all. xx
 
 
Mazarine
02:23 / 09.02.04
That dress is beyootiful! You're lucky, I look wretched in pink. Night, dear ginger.
 
 
Saint Keggers
02:34 / 09.02.04
You know I think I have one of those juicers in the basement somewhere.
That dres is nice. Maybe dye it a differnt colour or something though. A nice crimson with black lacery.

G'night Gb!

If god loved me and existed than these would be an 8 and not a five.

Cute. But Im still looking for Dorothy in ruby stiletto thigh-highs.

22:16 / 09.02.04
Now I feel slightly guilty. Im a size 5, but cant see the specialness in the shoes. I apologise.

Keggers- do those juicers work? Not that I really care, but it'd be an added bonus if it did.

Evening all.

I still dream of owning the Juice Tiger that I once saw on QVC. It rocked.

Gb: They werent that great, if I recall. But if your just going for looks then go for it and get a regular hand juicer to keep as backup.

Hi everybody!

I'm watching 101 Reykjavik but I've decided I'm really not in the mood and the subtitles aren't all that.

I have the wee things to juice with, if thats what you mean. Which is pretty much what that juicer is, except with a squishing plunger thing.

Today I found a fag end in my pocket. And I dont smoke. I think it must have been a night I was out the other week- my friend gave me a few fags, and I put them in my pocket... and I think there was one less than I expected. Even so- was I really so pissed as to put the end back in my pocket? I have no idea.

Hi Anna!

Gb, maybe it was a momento. A keepsake. A souvenir.

Was it burnt? It may have just broken in your pocket.

22:56 / 09.02.04
Gb I do stuff like that all the time when I'm wasted, just put cigarettes in my pocket and have them break or cigarette ends and it's so weird. It's worse that tobacco gets everywhere. It's so fucking annoying.
 
 
Tryphena Absent
22:58 / 09.02.04
Christ and friends who use cigarette tobacco in spliffs, half gone and the paper twisted at the end to preserve the rest for later. That's the worst.

Ive stuffed beer bottles in my pockets (and an icecream cone, once) but never cigarettes.
 
 
gingerbop
23:04 / 09.02.04
Keggers, I feel so much less wierd now. I didnt look to see if it was burnt- I just assumed it was. I was scouring my coat pockets cause I heard some coins, but rammed it back in pretty fast as I was standing next to my mother. Im such a wuss. Oh well.
 
 
Saint Keggers
23:10 / 09.02.04
You should have taken it out, looked at it, screamed "Sonufabitch! i didnt know I owned a smoking jacket!"

Huh - cigarette butts, indeed. Try snuff. You spill a tin of snuff all over the inside of your pocket while you’re dancing, when you’re getting undressed at the end of the evening it looks like you’ve had a major accident. A moment of pure horror. Gah.
 
 
Saint Keggers
23:15 / 09.02.04
try brown plastercine..you forget about it and put it in the wash then all the clothes look like you had one hell of an accident.

Your quick-capsule review, please
 
 
Suedey! SHOT FOR MEAT!
23:57 / 09.02.04
Fed up! I like them a lot but I was trying my hardest to not have any fun. I was forced to go on my own because the tiny shit hole of a venue was sold out, and nobody I knew who was going to go had a ticket except me. I wedged myself in next to some strangers, realised I could no longer move, and stood around sweating for a few hours feeling silly waiting for the band to come on. I am not entirely sure this really happened now, because I have nobody to relate my experiences too. I only had 30p as well, so I couldn't buy a drink and try to talk to people. I just felt odd, really. It was better when the band came on, although it was hard to see them as I couldn't force my way to the front.

I could almost feel the fun from this point, and I think it one me over in the end. I would have liked to have been nearer with more space to see Ana Matronic's face. However, being so near to Jake Shears may have turned me gay - who's to say? It's just kind of something I will mark off on my list of "things to do", I guess it was ok.

Now I am thinking about the representation of women in comics and worrying.
