hello people. you all thought i'd gone. didn't you? DIDN'T YOU??? i've just *ploughed* through digests #188 - #200. you've been busy, you bastards. i've been occupied with: A) drinking B) usenet (geat stuff. buncha weirdos, i tell ya) C) embellishing various stories to explain to admissions boards what i've been doing since i graduated in june 1997, and attempting to convince them that i'm not an alcoholic net addict. unlike eric and bethany, who felt that sal- IN -ger, (that's with an *I*) was too close to their hearts to write about, i went straight ahead and prostituted good ole jd, and wrote 551 trite, cheesy and moralistic words about F&Z/the fat lady. but following malcs contribution from hugh gallagher, i've just realised that i'm *screwed*. they'll never let me in, i'm doomed to a life working at mcdonalds, doling out bigmacs and rambling about fat ladies and half eaten chicken sandwiches. *sob* -- :helena http://www.geocities.com/SouthBeach/4801/ quote of the week 02 jan 1998: 'if you have scars on your wrists from suicide attempts, by all means display them proudly. the same goes for bruises, cuts, and track marks. Abscesses, however should always be coyly veiled in filmy black fabric.' - 'makeup tips for the bleak' http://www.vamp.org/Gothic/Text/makeup.html
