I just don’t know

1) As my train slows down, then stops in a tunnel, I wonder. What if; what if we’re stuck in here for long enough for people to freak out; what if some bit of the trains explodes; who in this carriage will scream first? Would I scream? Who will jostle and trample and push and shove and kick and pull and shriek? Would I jostle and trample? Would I push and shove? Or would I simply stay seated and feel cold absolute fear take hold of me? Scream and push and shove is for other people – I mean, I don’t even dance or sing at concerts...I stand there mesmerised and watch.
I don’t know.

2) Discovery: my bin liners are scented. No but really, they are. They smell of Fresh Something. Never in my life had I even imagined that some bored bin liner manufacturer somewhere would come up with such an idea. I was already in awe of scented panty liners and tampons – no, but really- but bin liners? I don’t even have a word for it.
I don’t know.

3) that’s pretty much all I have to say for myself, except that I’ll be on holiday tomorrow, and this prospects makes me positively giddy.

Me too! Do you want to hang out? I even have a spare ticket for the Montreux jazz festival tomorrow night. I'll only end up selling it otherwise. There's a plane from City around midday that would get you in in perfect time.

Of course the next day I officially hit middle age, so I won't be able to have fun anymore. So it's tomorrow or never, really.

mm, there is something just inherently *wrong* with scented tampons.

Where did you get the bin liners??? This could be the thing I've been desperately looking for for all these years so solve my 'fishpants' problem.

Do you have no email contact details on this blog? Or am I just blind? Can you drop me a quick line if you get a chance: creepylesbo@yahoo.co.uk

Waterhot : a scintillating offer! But too far.. enjoy Montreux.

Long Lost One: Marks and Spensive. £3.69. You could also use them as drawer liners or something.

Rah: thank you. I will. I'm going to France, then Greece, and chill the fuck out.
