SONIA: "You kidnap one baby and no-one ever lets you forget it."
Well, I've picked up a habit from the Boy now. He has this thing where he reads Wikipedia for hours just clicking on links and ending up in weird places - which I've been doing tonight. Today I learnt about Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton. DUDE! Dick Cheney wasn't the first Vice President to shoot someone! How cool! I'm sure it's one of those stories that all American children learn in school, like how English kids run around giggling the day their history teacher covered the death of Edward II. But it was news to me! I was reading along la la la and then BAM. Fatally shot by Vice President Burr. What a way to go! Why don't we have duels any more? And guns? Why did they have guns? I thought duels were fought with bricks in gloves. I have been fooled! Damn you Freleng! Damn you!
Well it's two very special peoples' birthdays today. (Is that right? It doesn't sound right.) distractogirl is 22 and says she feels old, meanwhile jekesta is 26, so distractogirl shouldn't complain. :P Felicitations!
I'm about to get a bus to the hospital. This is monumental, since it's the first bus I've got in Newcastle. Since I came to uni, I've got buses in Durham, buses in Sunderland, but I've never had any need to get a bus from one point in Newcastle to another point in Newcastle. That's how small this place is. I'm fairly sure that Bromley is bigger. One day, when I can be bothered, I will check this. But yes, I am getting a bus. I could walk it... but I can't be bothered. I'm not as young as I once was. Though not as old as Jen and Jen.
My periods seem to be getting heavier and heavier every month. Soon I will be nothing but a giant sentient uterus. Which worries me, not for my sake but for other people. A giant sentient uterus would be incredibly weird to see walking down the street.
Meanwhile, the Daily Express are OUTRAGED at the photos of Diana published in the Italian media, and at what's-his-face who claims he had an affair with her. The Daily Express asks how dare these people profit from the memory of Diana. J promptly dies of irony poisoning.
