driving in my saab, on my way to Ireland. it's been a long time.
One of these cheeky fellows just waltzed up my driveway, got in a stoush with a friend and drove him off (quite unfairly — I believe his friend was there first!) , then proceeded to walk up the driveway again, back to where he started.
It’s good to know they’re still around, even if this is suburbia. Although maybe that shouldn’t have surprised me; there were three or four of them walking through the hedge around the grassy hill where I spent most of the day reading, at Pac Fair. It was funny watching them carry on.
One for sorrow, two for joy.
hang on, travelling woman
don’t sacrifice your plan
‘cause it will come back to you
before you lose it on a man
never fall in love with potential
‘cause you can see with your own eyes
all those pretty faces and sorry words
can take away your pride
and I will fix you.

now the dawn is breaking on your future my child is there none of your love alive
“Your words are poison.”
Stupid was not my word, stupid was not my doctor’s word. Stupid was YOUR word, and here’s two more words for you:
fuck you.
Internet Kills the Oxford English Dictionary
The next edition of the Oxford English Dictionary will never be printed due to internet’s impact on book sales. This, after 21 years of work by a team of 80 lexicographers.
But it’s the Oxford!! THE OXFORD.
