The Klein Sexual Orientation Grid

How am I going to tell my mum?

"You scored an average of 1.05

This result can also be related to the Kinsey Scale:

0 = exclusively heterosexual
1 = predominantly heterosexual, incidentally homosexual
2 = predominantly heterosexual, but more than incidentally homosexual
3 = equally heterosexual and homosexual
4 = predominantly homosexual, but more than incidentally heterosexual
5 = predominantly homosexual, incidentally heterosexual
6 = exclusively homosexual"

The OCD won't let him be

Strange African flatmate is home in the middle of the day. There a red wine rings on the coffee table, and I haven't put the ironing board away. This will displease him greatly. Why, why, why has he come home? And why, why, why has he just had two showers, and is still in the bathroom now, when my bladder is about to implode? What is he doing in there? Writing his name on individual sheets of toilet paper? He does get very funny about toilet paper. We get little notes stuck to the the door when it's run out.

MY GOD, he's still in there. I'm going to have to pee in one of Simon's crusty porridge bowls. And now I can't watch Neighbours in peace, or do sit-ups in my pants, 'cos he'll be hanging around the kitchen, re-arranging the fridge magnets and categorizing the forks.

A diversion is called for. My friend Georgie told me the best break-up story. She was seeing a bloke who, for various reasons, she did not want to see any more. One morning, he set out to cycle ten miles to see her, whilst he was doing this she decided she simply couldn't stand another minute of being his girlfriend. So she wrote him a letter to explain, which was bad enough really, but THEN she went out, leaving the note for her mum to give to him when he got there!! I don't think he even got to re-fill his water bottle for the journey back! And this girl is all set to qualify as a social worker in June.

THANK JUPITER, he's finally out, I must now go and piss like a racehorse.

Black coffee, one spoonful of sugar substitue. Yes folks, it's almost bikini season. I'm tired of women's magazines trying to convince me that I should be doing buttock clenches at the bus stop and making celery a substitute for chocolate. However, the sun came out today, which led to thoughts of skimpy clothes, and I noticed my belly was sticking out that bit further than it should. This brought me on to the huuuge problem I have with the tops of my arms in those little strappy vest things. I'm tired of being sucked in by women's magazines and trying to disguise the fact that I'm doing buttock clenches at the bus stop. Vanity is an affliction, not a choice, and I wish everybody would stop trying to make money out of the dimples on my thighs.

I saw Vince Noir, goth fairy, naked today.

He's skinny to the point where you can make out his internal organs. I think I still fancy him though. Or maybe I'm just in a particularly bad mood.

The Moscow Cat's Theatre. Not a horror film. An actual event. Put the RSPCA on red alert.

If anybody is feeling tense right now, might I suggest you put the snooker on in the background. It is REMARKABLY soothing. The gentle click of cue against ball. The marble smooth tones of the commentator. The sympathetic sighs of the audience when a player misses a pocket. The genuine appreciation evident in their polite clapping. It's better than whale music.

Push the button

My dad has poltergeist disorder. It's a mental illness, it just hasn't been 'discovered' yet. Consider the evidence:

* He can't stay in one place, we never know where he is, Bristol, Chichester, India (!).
* Leave him in a room for half an hour, and you'll come back to find it completely re-arranged.
* In fact, he cannot stay in a room for more than 5 minutes without re-arranging the furniture. And then moving it all back. Ad infinitum.

He's also been known to chuck the odd bit of pottery around, although he's never sucked somebody into the TV, because he can't stay still enough to watch any for one thing. I worry. But not enough to do anything about it apart from find it mildly amusing.

My obsession continues. I've spent far, far too long on the Mighty Boosh site, looking at other 'fans' photos, scanning frantically through their stories to check they didn't get to kiss Noel on the mouth (ha!)

After spending Saturday night clubbing till 3 in Brighton, and Sunday night mingling with celebrity zoo-keepers, my sister spent this Saturday night chasing local freak 'Spar Bag Man' round the back lanes of Lampeter. 'Spar Bag Man' wears a big blue mac and bottle type glasses, he walks the roads pushing a shopping trolley and carrying a Spar bag, hence the title bestowed upon him. Anywhere else and this guy would have Social Services swarming all over him. Round here, he blends in beautifully. He is one of many local freaks. That's no excuse to spend an hour and a half tailing him though. For shame.

Here's a photo of my dog. She's currently sat on my foot. She's 11 years old and likes barking, snuffling in disgusting places for disgusting things, and sitting on cream coloured furniture.

And the word masturbation is apparently of more value to this blog than the word handmaid.

Well. Well well. Well. A very bizarre 24 hours. The Boosh were once again, frickin' awesome. There was quite a lot of new stuff in the show, so definetely worth going to see it twice. The Hitcher couldn't piss on the audience this time as the stage was too far back, so he jumped down into the crowd and nearly broke his ankle. Howard accused the audience in the side balcony of having bird flu and offered to make the latecomers a quiche. Bob Fossil hocked such a giant loogie over Vince that they had to stop and wipe it off his mirrorball suit.

And then we went by Pressure Point, because Robots in Disguise were playing, but we didn't really think the Boosh would be there. But Vince was stood in the doorway!! I ran across the road without looking and nearly got hit by a bus, which got his attention at any rate. I then got a photo, a kiss on the lips(!) and a high that I think I'm still coming down from. Except Elliot dropped my camera, so I may have an additional photo of his foot, or no photos at all. This is too horrible to contemplate.

We then managed to worm our way into the gig and saw Howard Moon, Bob Fossil (who nobody actually seemed to recognise) Naboo and, the Robots, who to my great disappointment were really good. The little fat one is vicious though, she pushed two girls off the stage when they tried to clamber up there after Howard 'where are you bitches going? Keep your hand off my boyfriend!'. It's fairly obvious that Noel is her boyfriend, they were practically dry humping on stage. But I'm over it. I've lived the dream. He doesn't look so good up close. His girlfriend could take me without even putting her guitar down.

See. She definetely could

We then went back to Elliot's, and formed an inappropriate massage chain. Cath (sister) massaging Elliot, and Elliot massaging me, sat between his legs. Then she went to bed, and Elliot went to make a move, so I made my (poor) excuses, lots of over-dramatic yawning etc. and exited stage right, very confused. He's my mate, we get on really well and he's had such a rough time of it lately (his mum comitted suicide last year). But that's not really an reason to get hot and heavy on his sagging sofa, it's lucky I didn't have enough to drink, or things could have got very messy. In the words of the Hitcher 'you slag'.

I'm going to have to take to my sofa bed in a moment, so tired my eyelids have reached my chin. Went to a gig / club type thing with people from work last night. Couldn't get drunk, although tried very hard, danced like an idiot then stupidly cuddled up to pretty boy Johny on the way home. But I was tired and he's cute and I didn't do anything else untoward all night, promise.

Today we took some of the kids from work to Brighton, which was lovely because they got excited about picking up shells on the beach and playing frisbee in the park. Me and Johnny felt like Mum and Dad.

It's the Boosh again tomorrow. I know I'm going to annoy Elliot by poking him in the ribs every time there's a good joke coming up. I know I'm going to need to be chiselled off whichever member of the cast shows up at the stage door first. I know I have to think of something equally dirty for Noel to write on my bra. Look out for me on the news tomorrow, being arrested for sexual harrassment.

Self improvement is masturbation

I went to church this morning. I haven't discovered God, it was strictly for work purposes. I sometimes wish I could discover God, it'd be nice having somebody telling you what to do, and not even think to question it. Anyway, it was a Pentecostal church, which means a lot of shouting out and speaking in tongues and people waving their hands in the air like they just don't care. It struck me that people with mental health problems behave in a remarkably similar way to people at church. Their beliefs have no real evidence to support them, but there's no way you can talk them out of it. They think they're being watched all the time. They talk to thin air. Why is this kind of behaviour generally accepted as rational when it's to do with religion, but feared, mocked and generally frowned upon anywhere else? People with mental health problems hear voices or see visions, and are locked up. People with religious beliefs are celebrated for having the same experience.

Nothing else to report really. Dave was up at five this morning, rubbing himself down with sandpaper and doing press-ups with his hands tied behind his back. I've just worked out for twenty minutes, had a cold shower and eaten a banana. I feel marvellous.

I went to see Suzann's baby on Thursday (she of the heavily pregnant car park peeing episode). He's three weeks old, weighs 7 pounds and is called Emanuel. He is truly beautiful. His skin looks like Galaxy chocolate. Suzann is breastfeeding him every forty minutes, the minute the kid so much as gurgles she's whipping up her top and stuffing him under it. Poor Johnny really didn't know where to look, he finally settled for escaping to the toilet.
Bless.

I finally managed to get the bloke I do support work for out of the house on Friday. It's taken me three months to persuade him that a night out can consist of more than a trip to Tesco. We went to see Hostel. It was vile. European soft porn, toes being pulled off with pliers. I had to put my headphones on and stare very hard at the floor, or I would have been pebble-dashing the entire cinema with my guts. Mike enjoyed it though, lots of gratuitous nudity, he almost forgot to eat his icecream.
