oh, i did know that! we're both april babies. april is the best month. myspace reckons you're january the 1st, though. you're on "upcoming birthdays". yet again your presents have trumped mine. tickets to the chinese circus in france? why did i not get those?! i would love that! i got fucking...well. i can't even remember what i got because it was all so rubbish. i know christmas isn't supposed to be about presents but it's hard to remember that when you're the sort of person who measures love in terms of money and you're given socks and a johnny depp calendar by your own mother. xxxx
is your birthday really on the 1st?! you and amy are twins! i am going to have to make two cards now. fuck! watching love actually. so i hope that makes you feel a little better about crazy keyboards and equally confused cousins. did you have a good day? good presents? i was quite pleased with mine until i heard what everyone else got. xxxxx
not my uncle, MY GRANDFATHER. MY GRANDFATHER. france has cheap red wine, grumpy farmers and sunshine. we'll do berlin in the autumn holidays, alright okay excellent. xxx
TJ! impressed as i am with your bikeyboard (as in bilingual, as opposed to bicycle board) abilities i am also a little disappointed. i used to get such a sense of achievement when i read your comments. oh, woe. what's j-pop?! j-pop sounds brilliant! i once spent a christmas in poole (eurgh) with my rich grandfather and his "trophy" wife and found only an alarmingly extensive porn collection. i would have swopped "teen tarts and trucks" (yeah, seriously) for j-pop anyyyyyyyyyday. to keep yourself busy i suggest you scour the surrounding area for a large falling down farmhouse as it is my dream that next summer a million or so of us decamp to the south of france and live in a big farmhouse drinking wine, playing in streams and rockpools and sleeping during the day and then lighting huge bonfires to dance around, getting high and falling asleep under the stars at night. we will all wear dresses (including you boys) and ride bicycles with baskets on and it will be absolutely amazing. xxxxxx
