I'm hungry
Jun. 8th, 2006 06:05 pmThoughts of the day
~ I love Goths who won't compromise. The weather has been really nice over the last couple of days, it's going to be "Flaming June" apparently, and most people are walking around in T-Shirts and sandals. But not the Goths, particularly the Baby Goths (I like Baby Goths - 17 year olds who spend lots of time and money and effort trying to look like they haven't spent any time or money or effort). They still have their layers of black on including the long black leather jackets. Don't they get hot? Can't you wear a short sleeves and still be a Goth?
There's something about it that makes me smile, I think it's something to do with the irony of working so hard to be non-conformist that you actually conform to a non-conformist stereotype; there's something sweet about that youthful commitment to Being A Certain Way.
I'm not making any sense to I'm going to shut up
~ Life is too short for uncomfortable shoes.
Things that have amused me
~ An ice cream van visited the industrial estate where my office is based this afternoon. I was sat staring at the Branch Banking Return (Non Invoiced) form and losing the will to live when I heard Teddy Bears Picnic played by jingly bells. Glenis rushed outside and came back with 99s! (Ice Cream in a cone with a flake stuck in for anyone who doesn't know.)
Mr Whippy Ice Cream with a flake – does it get any better?
It got me through the rest of the afternoon
~I saw a pack of Da Vinci Code Top Trumps this morning.
~ I've had I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker With Flowers In My Hair in my head on and off all day. Somewhere along the way it's been mixed up with something I've seen or read or a train of thought I've had because for some reason it's turned into I Wish I Was A Bulldozer With Flowers In My Hair.
I was born too soon
To a world that doesn't care
Oh I wish I was a bulldozer with flowers in my hair
