It will be ace seeing the Rakes again at the Franz concert. I saw them at the Leeds Festival without Alan the lead singer as he was ill' date=' but the rest still played on and had Kele from Bloc Party and the lead singer from Towers of London as special guest singers. Which was well cool. So it will be ace seeing the whole band.[/quote']

They did that at Reading too with Paul from Maximo Park and Russell from Bloc Party and it was such a cool set. can't wait to see them with a full line up!

Everytime I go to get a new tattoo I look at all the pictures of the ones that my tattooist (?!) has done and some of them are awful.

I hate gothic lettering because the words never look right. There's a picutre of a guy with Dylan tattooed on his stomach (his son's name I think) but it looks like it says "TRICK" which is just silly.

Basically I mostly hate all tattoos that aren't mine, which is odd, because I love mine to bits.

Oh thank you very much! A friend of mine is going next weekend so I've arranged something with him. Thank you anyways, I'll keep the number for future.

You're not married to Willy De Witte' date=' of Bucky O'Hare fame by any chance?

Seriously though, great idea for a book, hope it all goes well [/quote']

Oh it's not my book! It's just something someone told me about. If only I'd thought of it! Sounds like it would be a great read.

A friend of a friend is starting this ace project which everyone should get involved in. Here's the details:

************

Hi All,

I am starting a book with different stories about the first time of having sex. I am asking people all ages, generations and sexual orientation to write their story of their "first time."

If you would like to be a part of this, please write me your story (you can do it anonymously, or ask for it to be kept anonymous). You can write whatever you want, however long you want, in any style, the only thing I ask is that you put the year you lost your virginity and your age (so I can pick the most different types of stories for the book). Talk about the person you lost it to, what it meant, etc etc etc. Anything. I want to get a range of stories: serious, sad, bittersweet, funny, amusing. Don't be shy!

Again, I will keep stories anonymous if requested.

Please email it to: my_first_time_@hotmail.com (Don't forget all the underscores!)

Also, it would be great and much appreciated if you could pass this request on to your friends, or repost it on your my space or put it on your weblog. The more stories I can get, the better!

Thanks so much, will keep you all updated on the progress. I am hoping to meet with publishers in early 2006, and am also going to start talking with various charities that deal with sexual awareness that I could distribute profits too if the book were to actually get off the ground.

In the meantime, I look forward to hearing from you.

Warmest Wishes,

Melissa De Witte

I'm going for a curry at the blue moon on my own. woowoo.

No you're not you're going to come to ours!

I shall be spending xmas at my parents house, cooking dinner myself, in the company of anyone who wishes to join us, although unfortunately not my boyfriend. Then after New Year I'm off to New York for 4 days. This may be the best xmas ever.

There are no old ladies in the Mighty Boosh! Not real ladies anyway. And that also sounds hilarious.

My ex boyfriend has had tinnitus for 4 years now which bothers him mostly at night when it's quiet and nothing's going on. So he ends up phoning anyone who'll talk to him until he falls asleep just so he doesn't have to listen to rrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnngggggggggggg for hours on end.

London is where I'm from, ish. There and my own imagination.

I wonder if the moon will be on tour?!

I couldn't agree with tv tanned more. I have asthma which is controlled through daily medication but since I started going out to bars and pubs I've had countless sore throats.

It's not just about that though, I'm sick fed up of waking up with my clothes and my hair and my bed stinking of smoke. I don't think smokers understand it because they're accustomed to the smell but it's horrible.

And please don't anyone say "well you shouldn't go out if you don't like it." That's just not a valid arguement.

The HBO site has some nice stuff about the show including Obituaries for all the characters. You can see it here.

Keith's death really upset me, and when Ted showed up at Ruth's funeral I just blubbed and blubbed.

I know quite a few people who only smoke when they're out drinking, and will sometimes get through 20 in a night out which is just ridiculous since they certainly wouldn't be doing it if they were sitting at home. Hopefully the ban will help those people stop completely.

Big mistake, they're REALLY expensive. You should get these big airbags things from Ikea. They've got different compartments and you blow some right up, and some less and they've got a soft cord cover and they're so comfy. Just get two of those and you'll be fine.

Happy Birthday!!!!! Wooooo hope you get some nice cake.

My boyfriend is an illustrator. His website is here. He's quite busy though and might not be what you're looking for but check it out anyways.

He's not in Aberdeen but I think Patrick Boo could take care of all of your needs.

I know! I used to live in Basingstoke too! If only this was 1999 and I was as cool as I am now, I'd be there with bells on. Literally. I bet they'd love it.

I've got not one, but TWO sofas. One's even a sofa bed. They're brilliant, very comfy and definately worth the 4 figure amount we paid for them.

I went as Old Gregg from The Mighty Boosh which seemed to be a programme everyone said they'd seen, but not that episode.

One of my friends went as "Milk" from Blur's Coffee and TV video but the best thing I saw was Team Zissou from The Life Aquatic in Exodus.

Wear something pink

Wear a silly hat

Eat some pancakes

Put some wellies on and go splashing in puddles

Are there even puddles? I haven't looked outside today yet.

Will somebody PLEASE take me to the Glasgow show with them?!

I'm only in if I can be below Jimr and above Paul. If they want to be in that is. I can't next to anybody I don't know because I just got a new full time job and simply won't have the time to arrange to meet people i don't already regularly see.
