girlsdontcry's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wicked words every day It's not good when you've got the song "Karma Chameleon" in your head, and it's even worse when you're relating it to someone, in a kind of sentimental way. It's D's fault for talking about it last night and saying it was not a good song thus forcing me to listen to it when I got home. (By the way, I keep hearing that Boy George's autobiography "Take it like a man" is really good.) Actually, even though that last point was in ( ) and therefore shouldn't really be taken as the starting point for the next thing I write about, can I just say that when I worked in a bookshop I really used to hate people who didn't know the difference between an autobiography and a biography. I also hated people who said (and boy, you heard this every single day) "I don't know what the book's called, but it has a white/blue/green cover". I especially hated people coming up and saying "where's M?", like in the fiction section, the authors starting with M. I always wanted to turn around to someone else in the shop and say: "Andrew, have we heard anything about alphabetical order being switched around today? Had a fax from head office saying that they have moved M in the alphabet? Or is it still between L and N, where it was yesterday?" But I never did say that. I'M TOO NICE. And I scare easily. It's really ever so kind of you to let me share that with you. It's Friday. Isn't that great? And I just made a lunch date, isn't that great too? And I'm going to go out on the weekend, which is also kind of great. I'm feeling kind of good then. 10:43 a.m. - 2003-01-17 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
