So, hands up who forgot it was my birthday this weekend? Yep, you know who you are. Slaps wrists all round. Actually, thanks to the wonderful world of Myspace loads of people were alerted to this great event and I had complete strangers wishing me a happy birthday literally in the street because of this. Random. This year so far has been weird, I haven't posted since January cos of many things - health trouble, boy trouble, band trouble, depression trouble, lack of news trouble (although as R always says 'you ALWAYS have so many hilarious tales to tell everytime I speak to you'). I got offered a new job, I think I'm turning it down tomorrow - it would mean money and responsibility and probably a self esteem boost. I'm only little, I can't cope with these things yet. God, I'm only 28. Next they'll be expecting me to buy a house, get married and have children. F**k that.

Anyhoo, big news 2007; I joined a band or a band joined me, I don't know which it is. I haven't done any kind of music since 2001. It is weird. I realise that I am essentially really lazy. I turn up each week to band practice having done nothing inbetween and they expect me to start singing. WOAH. I have been retired for 6 years - take it easy on me. The first few weeks they found my singing off the top of my head thing amusing but you can't keep singing about rabid cocks and beans on toast forever. Oneday you need to commit to an emotional theme and actual sentences and go with it. Last week I wrote an actual verse with music and played it to my band, they sat there with their mouths open afterwards. Those 4 lines said more about my current mental state than a years psychoanalysis, I'm not sure they were ready for it. A bit like bringing your therapist on your second date to fill your new boyfriend in on your general issues. A bit like that second date also being at the colonic irrigation clinic. Oh well, maybe they just couldn't believe how shit I am at playing the guitar. Probably the latter. I love my new bandmates tho - they rule. We all have vaginas - it's going to be brilliant, if I can just write a second verse.
