My tumbril shakes with speed humps
Secured windows show a view
Houses pass
Terracotta roofs and back yards
Dirty washing baking on strings
Passing supermarkets and cornershops
Greasy air hanging around burnt out cars
Stained all this grass like rust
Brick walls
Sunshine bursts
A shackled walk
This freedom light will last a lifetime

so. by way of introduction, I thought i would tell you five things that not many people know about me.
1: my first name is James-Ian, although everyone just assumes ian is my middle name, and i never ever get called anything other than james.
2: I keep everything i'm ever sent, including emails, letters and payslips. i'm a terminal archivist.
3: I' a real indie boy at heart. i take great joy in liking obscure bands that no-oe has ever heard of.
4: I have 13 different bottles of spirits in my bedroom. which is more than some bars have!
5: I have a rexord fetish. i buy records for sometomes no reason other than i like the sleeve. and i never ever listen to a record before i buy it.
So. i hope that was informative and fun.

They're playing in Central Park
Check out him, he's shouting at the gate
"Billy didn't tell you everything
or did he mention the magic day?"
Well I figured it out from a fig tree
It's that they chose to be together in silk
Now you been bad for 50 years
and now it looks like that he's taking off his belt
Waiting for October
I cross my fingers
cross my heart
and hope to die
Waiting for October
I'm in the book
and I'll be learning how to fly

word up.
this would be my first entry in this journal, seeing as i spent the first X months perving, and lurking before deciding to actually contribute to the message boards and stuff.
so yeah, that's about it, other than to say i ordered a t-shirt from the suicide store and am waiting for it with baited breath!
