records and books and food and politik but i wish i could just ignore it cos it makes me angry and sometimes gets me into trouble.
i once read that 'you can't have the romance of a revolution without the bloody nose'. but i really don't want a bloody nose.
I'd like to meet:
maybe some people from nice pop bands like milky wimpshake or helen love and peple who make music cos they like it, not for any reason they can think of.the kids that have fun cos that's what they like doing.the kids wot exist cos we can, we're not art, we're not fashion, we're not trend, we're just some stuff that we like. and we don;t need any more than that.
i wish i hadn't bothered to answer this question/
