Five random and flippantly stupid recent moments in my life. They may not be sexy, but I thought Id share:
1) Wandering in to a store to buy Spirited Away on DVD along with a birthday present for a friend, and encountering an ex-boyfriend working there whom I havent laid eyes on in years. When I asked what hed been up to recently he furtively hoisted up his shirt and proudly showed me his latest tribal tattoo, then escorted me to the desk that he might use his employee discount to my benefit, giggling, dont mind me getting half naked in public. When he politely returned the question and asked what Id been up to I smiled sweetly and said, oh, you know what you asked me not to mind you doing in public? Well, Ive been doing that, only I get paid.
2) Receiving an utterly random invitation for myself and ten friends to perform at Rock Idol; a Battle of the Bands style competition held semi-locally. I have no idea why I received this or who got hold of my address to send it me, but I immediately had glorious visions of my strutting on stage resplendent in my most punk-esque outfit, black guitar slung across my back, grabbing a microphone and screaming, ARE YOU READY TO ROCK?! then launching into a rendition of Im a little teapot before walking off.
3) Gardening, and tending to my pumpkin plant whom we have christened Hannah in honour of someone my brother knows who looks exactly like one (round and orange). If I should actually get to harvest any pumpkins from this fantastically weedy little object Im going to carve a big screaming face in the front and her name in the back, then take pictures and post them to her.
4) Being woken several nights in a row by my cat sniffing my eyelids. Theres no terror comparable to gazing up a feline nostril at ass-o-clock in the morning.
5) Performing at Il Bordello courtesy of October alongside her, Tsui, and Nadineand realising that I must remind myself to SMILE when I perform:
Fun Felidae Fact: October has requested a few girls to perform on the 25th August at Il Bordello again. I may be going. If so I will be taking the train down and spending the journey with my latest passion my book of Sudoku. Ive won so many damn bets on how quickly I can solve these things that I may just retire and let them sponsor me into my old age. Not bad for someone who is a self-confessed numerical illiterate.
Post-Fun Felidae Fact: Not going to Bristol. Damn. However this does free me up for joining my brother at Pride in Manchester, which will likely become a dizzy haze of sequins, tiaras, and transvestites dressed ill-advisedly as Wonder Woman. HOORAH!
