Quick - call the therapist and then stop the world I want to get off.
I’ve got a great idea.
What’s that then?
Remember when you were a teenager? When you were small and mousey haired and nobosdy ever asked you out?
Why as it happens - yes – yes I do.
Remember how you were rubbish at sport and loved public speaking – you Big Fat Geek?
Why yes of course I do.
How did that feel?
How did it feel? It felt horrible. I was lucky to have a few really good friends. But at the end of the day I was a misunderstood misfit who was deperate to be liked and admired but just had too many passions for learning and too many A’s… plus there was the distinctly posh accent to contend with….
They hated you at school did they?
Some people did – they called me a snob and a swot…
So you changed yourself then?
Yes. I transformed myself from the age of 16. I am as shallow and as polished as I could ever have hoped when I was younger. I have the best shoes, the blondest hair and men stare at me as I saunter down the street. It takes huge effort though. I am always tettering on the edge of plump and mousey rather than curvey and blonde.
So this confident, pretty girl with the Rock and Roll lifestyle is a bit of a facade then?
A bit?? Are you joking?
Then I’ve got a great idea. Lets put you on National TV with no access to makeup and have a man reject you in front of the whole country. That’s bound to set you back what 10 years?
15 probably….
How are you feeling?
14, plump and very very sick.

(5.11.03 13:08) Don't worry so. |
|
(5.11.03 13:14) I feel calmer now... it was just the initial call from the TV people today that scared the life out of me... 'It was all congratulations... blah blah blah' and I just wanted a big fat hug and then to hide under my desk or in my bed for a couple of hours... |
|
(5.11.03 13:41) here's a virtual *hug*, and i also feel like hiding and being a student, i can, so i will hide in my bed on your behalf as well as my own. how's that? |
|
(5.11.03 13:42) Thank you x x |
|
(5.11.03 17:21) I'm new to all this so wot is a sweetie? Thanx for it though Daisy. Here's one in return. I'm way too old to be doin' this, that's for sure.....but who cares?? Age ain't nuthin but a numba..... |
|
(5.11.03 17:27) That's what worries me. How on earth did you manage to learn terrible bastardised teenage 'txt spk' if you are not a teenager?? |
|
(5.11.03 17:33) so is one Daisy on a sleek leather couch and the other on a plush purple chaise longue? x |
|
(5.11.03 17:40) Lol - Sometimes I think they are both in a padded cell x x D x x Any news from LL?? |
|
(5.11.03 23:09) I'm not quite sure what you're getting at? Text talk is not just reserved for teenagers. I prefer the term abbreviated personally. However, thanks for your comment and sweet. "That's what worries me. How on earth did you manage to learn terrible bastardised teenage 'txt spk' if you are not a teenager"?? |
|
(6.11.03 01:32) a couple of e mails Daise. but personalised ones, not chain thingys so am pleased with her...she's not in trouble yet. it's only been, like, ten days. i left a comment on her blog yesterday and got all teary. pathetic. but then, after 12 years of her living a street away, it's a bit weird. x |

(7.11.03 00:14) Ok Daisy, This has to get a sweetie! Those TV chaps are worthless , don't let them get to you, because at the end of the day you had the guts to go do that show, and despite all that happened you came thorugh it, and I bet you came through it better than you though! -Pete |
