Saturday, June 21, 2003 hey ! it's been awhile. i'm wondering if i should wind up this blog 'coz it's starting to wear a little thin. what's been happening lately .. we had an exhibition last night and the cubes looked good !! but if anyone mentions fibre optics i'll kill them with daggers i will shoot from my eyes.
dee >> where does miss d reckon is a good place to get tattoos ??
congrats to nix for having the longest-running relationship (21 years with hand) though that means you've been at it since the day you were born. i'm thinking more like 8 years ?? but still that's a very long relationship.
and my official job-hunt has narrowed down to a dodgy ad for "casuals - call 92950320" (i hope it's not prostitution) and "garment trimmer for busy embroidery factory". cottage industry thing. i think i can handle that =) dad will own a post office that i can start working at soon. but that won't be for awhile and i neeeeeeeeeeeeed stuff.
