volcanic's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ugly, but well-read Homework, as set by Miss Kymee. I'm afraid this is in lieu of a proper entry, because a) I'm quite boring at the moment b) I'm a bit fried in the head region, and would rather have a bath. Having said that, I know how easy it is to keep writing, once I get going, so... Books that would make me think I'd pulled a good 'un if I saw them on my new squeeze's shelves... 01 "Crash"- JG Ballard 02 "The Invisibles"- Grant Morrison (in any permutation of tpb's or single issues) 03 "Lazarus Churchyard"- Warren Ellis (preferably the definitive collection, with all the art by D'israeli 04 "The Princess Bride" 05 TS Eliot- any collection that included "Ash Wednesday" Books that'd have me sneaking out while he went for a pee 01 "Men are from Mars & Women are from Venus"- long-term readers will know exactly why that's on the list 02 "Miller's Antique Guide" 03 Those huge thick fantasy sci-fi tomes by ?Stephen Donaldson or whatever his name is. 04 Terry Pratchett 05 "The Joy of Sex"- Alex Comfort Ditto magazines: Makers 01 Skin Two 02 Savage (Extreme tattoos/ piercings) 03 The Face/ D&C/ anything else arty and elitist 04 Future Music/ Computer Music 05 EasyRiders Breakers 01 Record Collector 02 Horse & Hound 03 What Car/ HiFi/ Mobile Phone/ PC 04 Take A Break 05 The Official Big Brother3 mag That'll do, won't it?

That made me feel really good about myself... I did honestly think I would've scored higher than that, even some of the ugly dorks who count cybersex as their favourite pastime have got better scores than me. S'not fair. Seriously, though, that's before anyone even finds out that I've got a child, and that I'm neurotic and so fiercely independent and intelligent that most men are terrified of me. I know I wouldn't be a great catch in the eyes of the majority of the population, but the whole exercise has been a bit dispiriting, even if it has been a laugh. I just hope there's some better men at the seaside. Although I should come clean and tell you that when I went up there with my best friend at the start of the month, the examples on display were so disappointing that I told her if the prospects were that grim when I move, I'm going to have to start exploring my sexuality a little more actively.
