A verse that I didn't want to learn

You can store these in an airtight container for about 100 years.

I was sitting in the wicker chair like I do every day not getting paid for market banter. I sat there in my free dress and it was itchy like those mosquito bites that leave indellible marks, and I realised that I had never done anything nice for anyone in my whole life.

I want to know the words to that Emmy the Great song and sing it so people think that I wrote the words. I would have written them if Emmy the Great hadn't written them before me but everyone knows that I am Emmy the Great anyway. I remember you like a verse that I didn't want to learn, I just looked into your eyes and I knew ya. A broken hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. And the sky was so much bluer. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. And the world was so much newer.

The original Leonard Cohen version.

I love spite.

I love spite and I hate the way things happen and the way things have to happen. There's a difference.

I saw Heath Ledger last night and his mafia smile. I wish I had a mafia smile, a busted tooth and a plath. Take away the Lindars Hammond and grant my wish 100-year-old fish. I nearly threw 5 grotsky into the pond in the Slovenian caves. Postojna James. Postcard I never sent and never put in a bin. Aaaargh.

La la la I will have you yet, I will carry you there if I have to.
