foolfillment: the blog

Since I last posted I’ve left halls where I had high-speed internet access in my room and come home to Dunbar to my ‘dial a 6 to start’ 56k line so that’s why it’s been quiet. It’s probably going to be quiet for a long time as well because I finally got a job sorted yesterday. Morven and I will be working in The Crown Hotel in Aberfeldy for a couple of months from next week. I don’t know if I’ll be able to get online at all or even be able to use a computer for dump photos, so if you’re feeling generous you can buy me one of these from my wishlist or even, if you’re feeling very generous/stupid, one of these.

There’s nothing like a school trip to take you away from the drudgery of the classroom. A day on a coach singing filthy songs, a mooch around a musuem somewhere and then back just in time for home-time. At our school, it didn?t work that way. School trips consisted of an afternoon at Sonning Farm, a visit so dire that even the most hardened skivers were dragged screaming onto the bus, begging for double maths.

…

Poor, sweet Helen, the quietest girl in the class, never one to push to the front of the crowd, was left standing far to close to Daisy?s arse than was absolutely safe.

?Oooh!? she said, in surprise and alarm. ?Ooooooh!!!!?

Her cries turned to screams when the rest of the class realised what was going on.

Subject to survey, I’ll be living here next year. The schedule will be taken down sometime soon but I don’t know when.

repeat as desired

guess who was at dinner tonight, sure beats the last lot, with a few exceptions.

Exams are all over now, nothing left to do but listen to the new Radiohead album (’s’no bad eh?) and read and stuff.

The big news of course is of course that the lock has had it’s lease taken over. Until Monday it was held by McEwan’s and had 70/-, 80/-, Export, Younger’s for the real men, Bud and Hoegarten for those with too much money but no taste, and Foster’s and Miller for the girls. Now though it’s all change and I think for the better in someways, (although the infection has spread) because the new brewer is my very own local Belhaven, which means Best, Best extra cold and St Andrew’s and presumably they can get 80/-, Belhaven Scottish and Robbie Burns. Good eh?

i’m still here, are you?

Way back when I was sitting my Standard Grades I made a compilation tape of some of the stuff I was listening to then to help me through revision (hah, sounds so pathetic now!) and I called it Revision and Blues, a fairly obvious play on words that I spent a lot of time thinking up/wasting time over. The next year I did the same for my Highers and called it, a little less imaginatively, Revision and Blues 2. I was on a roll then and had to make another by the time I was sitting my exams in 6th year. They always helped because I chose the songs carefully to be able to revise to, ones I knew really well so that if I found myself singing along I already knew the words so it didn’t distract me, songs that were soft anc calming. I always had good results with those tapes and this year is the first year that I haven’t made one up. Read into that what you want but I’m holding this story in reserve for if I stuff up miserably in this round of misery.

What do you think? graybo likes Torness and I have to agree, kind of.
