Okay, so I said I was going to have a nice refreshing summer. So far, I’ve broken most of my rules.
I’m vegan now. One day a week happened twice, then I gave up switching and just stayed on what my father calls ‘The Dark Side’.
As a result of this, I quite like being branded as ‘different’ for the first real time in my life. It has given me a lot of respect for other people and what must pretty much be hell for them at times.
So yeah, I chilled out.
My dad is buying me a CD today. I forgot to text him in time so it is a lucky dip of what he brings back. All I know is that it WON’T be Laura Marling, Empire Of The Sun, Duke Special or Jonsi. My father does not know me at the minute. My money is on a ferry-shop-special Whale Noises CD. I’ll like that, being vegan. :\
I’m bored. All that is getting me through today is that I have a couple of poems to work on, about 2-3000 words to knock out on my newest novel idea and then some rollies to do ready for Latitude on TUESDAY!!! I’m thinking that is the bit I am actually looking forward to the most. So many clashes on it already though :( What is a guy to do.
Well I haven’t been on here for a while…
Someone sent me a link tonight, I was blown away by some of the stuff I’ve found as a result of it.
This is the video I was sent. Andrea Gibson performing the poem Pole Dancer.
Like NHS Direct for the increasingly worried of fearing something.
As a rule, I reckon pretty much everyone has anuptaphobia and atychiphobia. If they are even real words (which dictionary.com doesn’t accept) then yeah, I have those.
One result from dictionary.com that did surprise me though was the suggestion- enetophobia. I wouldn’t say I was ‘afraid’ of pins and needles but I do have a dislike, this counts I think…
On a related note, given ten minutes of searching the NHS site, I definitely have Tuberculosis, severe Asthma or something along the lines.
I actually have a bit of a smoker’s cough and some exzema-type thing on my elbow. But since that counts as a rash and I have something of a wheeze from time to time, I should:
“SEEK EMERGENCY HELP IMMEDIATELY- RING 999 AND ASK FOR AN AMBULANCE”
Well I was going to go to bed but if you insist…

For Lar. Because I don’t know her address for sending real cards and I think she might have a cat.
Happy Birthday :)
So, in an otherwise dull as shit day, one thing stood out. Nemone on 6music always finds a belter and today I just had to crank this bad boy right up.
Enjoy people, this is a tune.
I’m going to try and do two or three festivals instead, and plenty of camping and chilling out.

I’d pay the ticket money for the things listed already in just the Obelisk and Poetry Arenas. Best thing is, there is so much more to come and everyone knows it is the middle line ups that really make it a weekend to remember.
Plus, a Bacchanalian party in the forbidden forest looks on the cards for the Saturday night, after my B&S fix :)
