Winding the bobbin.
I sent off the paperwork today. TO FLORIDA. That's the paperwork with all my credit card details, via fax, to FLORIDA. I guess that's where Ocean Star International is based (primarily)... I hope they don't fuck about with my numbers. BE TRUSTWORTHY, FLORIDA PEOPLE.
On FRIDAY I am going off to Boston :} I am hoping the person receiving me won't decide I'm a gobby quack (which I felt like I was, on the phone) and try to run away from me... we shall see. After November, there will be 3000 miles of water to keep her safe from all that. We are going to do historical things and I am going to be TERRIBLY CONTRITE about THE WAR >cough<
At the same time I am in Boston, my father and stepmother will be there. Visiting a cousin, who is curator (or some such) at an art museum. It's amusing to think of Susan and Dad trying to be "open-minded", wandering around with Nina, saying nice things about Pollock and not mentioning the fact that Nina's a lesbian. EVERYONE BE SUPER TOLERANT OF THE DIFFERENTNESS.
When I get back, I will be going off to the total sell-out crappy money grubbing Florence Griswold museum, for the Fairies.
I wonder where my mother is. She's gone a bit MISSING.
I decided to be grown-up about living/working in the UK, and wandered onto craigslist.com to scope out my prospects. It's not too too bad, it turns out. I could set myself up fairly quickly, though I'm going to network a bit when I get back to the UK. I am thinking about applying at the Sherlock Holmes Museum. It began as a bit of a joke, but it could be a pretty good low-paying thing for me, until I can weasel out better opportunities.
I am thinking I will ignore the NUMEROUS adverts for escorts.
Lol, last thing. I got a message from my cousin this morning:
"Hi there! Hope your doing okay..I hear you are coming to the uk now. This mean no more gillette castle and the closing of this academic chapter? Im sure its as much of a relief as it is stressful, moving bits of life around always is for me anyway. Whats the address of the place you'll be staying? There bes a postal strike and i fear to post stuff to the us may be as sensible as burying it with a dead pigeon. The entire purpose of newspeak is make thoughtcrime impossible, as there will be no words to express it. Having read my message up to this point i had to remind myself of that.
Seriously....I've looked at a computer for maybe 3 hours today and it has made me feel completely useless, mush for brains and rushing to the end of sentences. This message has lost all form. There is much worse coming, and it is all around us as we look at the glowing screen. There is a breast enlargement advertisment to the right of this box. Above it, a sign inviting potential advertisers to contact facebook personnel, for the obvious increase in business=the destruction of the human mind. One of my friends recently got into marketing, i am very angry and am going to kill any remaining parts of me that have suffered at the soft poison of negative human influence. The spire cranes, its statue is an aviary. Something something urr... Music for silver lock and mouth...urrrr...something...do not travel down dumb wind like prodigals. Cannot remember all of it.
There is no response to that shit! But please give me your UK address and i'll prove that i am in fact a useful maniac. Its too late to delete all the above now and try again...honesty and destruction are wed like sea stones through stained glass. PEACE xx"
Perhaps I'm just a bit sick, but it made me laugh when I read it.
