Another poem
Posted Apr 3, 2000
Here is a poem I wrote while attending a Philosophy lecture in a
church. Whaddayathink?
I'm bored to death in this church.
My ass is sore in this church.
Philosophy's being talked about in this church.
I'm in a church.
Pretty impressive, huh?

Crisps
Posted Apr 3, 2000
Here's a poem I wrote. Do you like it?
Oh empty crisp packet, lying in the gutter in the teeming rain.
Such a pity your owner will never see you again.
Robbed of your contents, and carelessly crushed.
Discarded while your owner homeward rushed
.
Oh empty crisp packet, lying in the gutter in the teeming rain.
Your flavour never cheese and onion, only plain.
You never knew what lay ahead beyond the track.
Your goodness sacrificed towards a tatty snack.
This is copyrighted by the way, so don't copy it, right!!

Grey Holes
Posted Mar 29, 2000
Grey Holes aka WWSAVS (Wierd Whirly Swirly Awesome Vortexes) are
what causes the freaky weather in East Kilbride (see my Journal
Entry on East Kilbride).
Grey holes (like black holes, but they're not black, hence the name)
(in fact they're not grey either) (in fact they're really nothing
like black holes - oh well) constantly suck out all normality from
East Kilbride. Therefore, East Kilbride constantly has abnormal
weather.
This could also explain why no-one knows about East Kilbride except
for the people who live there. But it's just a theory.

East Kilbride
Posted Mar 27, 2000
OK, this is my first Journal Entry, so I apologise beforehand for the
likely awfulness of it. East Kilbride is a little-known town in
Scotland, near Glasgow, and it is where I live. This is an obvious
statement since I wouldn't know about the existence of it otherwise.
Although it has a population of over 80,000 (people) and it almost has
a city status, a surprisingly large number of people (other people)
still don't know about it. This is why I have chosen to write about
it; to cleanse the masses of their ignorance. So here goes...
One of the many strange things about East Kilbride is that it is
the centre of all freaky weather. Really. I'm 17 (female and single)
and still go to school (a private school, so it's not in East
Kilbride), and to get to school I have to get the train to Glasgow.
Now, whenever it snows in East Kilbride (and not just in the Winter)
it REALLY snows. I'm talking about full-blown blizzards here. I get
on the train, caked in snow, and when I get off at my stop, the sun is
shining, and there I am standing beneath the clear blue sky, snow
still melting between the creases of my rather large and unwieldy
rainjacket.
Other, less extreme examples of this are that when it is
particularly windy, or rainy, or dull in East Kilbride, it is more
than likely that not far away, in Glasgow, it will be calm, dry or
bright. Geographers might persuade you that this is due to the fact
that East Kilbride is higher up and on the top of a hill, whereas
Glasgow is lower down and more sheltered from the elements. But I
refuse to believe a word of it.
My theory is that the reason why East Kilbride is the centre
of all freaky weather is because it is the centre of WWSAVS
(Wierd Whirly Swirly Awesome Vortexes), aka grey holes.
OK, I think I should stop now and relieve you of the pain of
(trying to) read my attempts at being fairly amusing and informative.
I might possibly write something later, expanding on my theory of
WWSAVS (Wierd Whirly Swirly Awesome Vortexes), aka grey holes.
So, stay tuned...
