That's all, I don't think of you often...

I always look for you on NEVER MIND THE BUZZCOCKS. In the identity parade. You'd be the one with the blonde mullet, shaky piss artist's knee tremble.

Journal 13th Sept

Love is a funny business and the Universe has some sense of humour. Bringing me a man who loves me. Just to hold me.

NOT LOVING LOVE MUCH RIGHT NOW

It's a bit bitter!

The Devil Came Up To Grimesford

I would never have guessed that Betty harboured a desire to perform the burlesque, but then Grimesford was full of surprises after the Devil came visiting.

Trying to be late for work...

Instead of leaving the house at 7:05, I took the wild decision to leave the house at 7:15. You probably noticed I said I tried to be late for work, because inexplicably I still arrived at 7:50. So it seems I can't be late for work even when I try.

QUESTIONNAIRE FROM THE TEACHER

I got this idea from noticing a couple of typos in other people's work-related documents (which sounds boring, but it's meant to be humorous!).

Behind these brown eyes.

"The heat of the lights is causing precipitation to bubble to my skins surface. The force of the beet throbs along the floor from the speakers. It vibrates up my legs causing them to tremble aside from my nerves. As I open my eyes I start to embrace the sound and as I take in the crowd before me, I catch my link and burst into my track¦.

Old Navajo Games

Spider Woman taught string games to keep thoughts in order, yet only in winter, when spiders sleep, or else will she tie your eyes shut. You will learn about the night sky, concentrate on star clusters, find planets

Poem written by myself age 11 whilst at school. This was published in a childrens anthology.

PINE FOR YOU

I used to really love you.

I went to the dentist the other day...

I went to the dentist the other day. What? Isn't that what JOURNALS are for? To tell you I went to the dentist? What did you expect? That I'd tell you I met the Secretary General of the U.N to complain about the price of cigarettes?

Family Values

The last of my innocence was stripped away when I was 13 years old. I never knew who my father was and my mom had just passed away after a two-year battle with cancer. I was pretty numb to my mom's passing. I cried uncontrollably for the first couple of days, but after a week of red and swollen eyes, I was all cried out.

Journal 10th-12th Sept

She's one of those women who appears mousy and compliant, the silent treatment victim types, who always get their steely way. She could be Japanese. My mother.

After Hours

It was a little past 2am. I was exhausted. The constant request I received throughout the night had me spent. "Com'mon Brianne. Can I pleeease put it in," begged Mr. Randolph, as if him begging would make a difference. The bottom line was he couldn't pay, so unfortunately for him I was unable to fulfil his request.

What Really Happened?

After opening the door of my cab, Gina grabbed her bags out the back and hurried into the house with a smile on her face to see her husband. Ironically, it was only an hour earlier that she walked out the house with a clinched fist, a gym bag, and tears in her eyes.

Warped driftwood

A stoppage in the passage of time; warped, drifting, wooden driftwood distorted time, moving in low and high tide from one shore to the next nothing much has changed since birth, since death drifting, floating,
