I don’t think you’re a dick at all…I actually wrote you an e-mail too but I was too drunk…

accidentally sent it to someone called Dominique…a girl I work with…she replied too…

anyway in the spirit of fairness here is what I wrote (okay I censored a little bit) and how she replied…

Dom…wow what a night…man…really enjoyed it…

I loved the irony of not being in the moment…I thought it was cool that we talked about a fantasy past…I think this is how i will deal with my doctrines in the future…make them up…

bloody clever aren’t you…actually I really wanted to thank you for understanding my bullshit…so many don’t…they think I need a slap…they think I hide behind it all as an excuse for disconnection…and maybe they’re right…I don’t know…I am disconnected…

I do truly believe it though…it’s my faith...so to speak…

but hang on…how can I have faith if I believe in nothing…? And if I believe in nothing…don’t I believe in something…

Anyway you didn’t slap me like some have suggested…you mucked around and found away of….i don’t know…having fun with it… and I thank you…and…

…I’m just talking about myself here…now I’ve annoyed myself…now I’m slapping myself…now I have a red cheek…

Back to last night…do you remember trying to sing along to the song but not knowing the words…you looked so serious…but sounded so wonderfully silly…

…actually that’s what I like about pop music…

even though you don’t know the words you can still sing along coz the mood gives you a sense of what the song is about…

I also thought you looked cute…

Stacey.

I think you’re cute too, Stacey…

How embarrassing is that!?

So anyway if it helps the Russians have a saying…’a sober man’s mind is on a drunken man’s tongue…’so maybe…though we both drunkenly raved a little…there was a little truth in what we were saying…


Warmly

Stacey

PS the poet’s name is Roger McGough (sounding like you now – ye pop culture pedant...) I love McGough’s Summer with Monika….one of favourite bits is:

38
I wanted
my castle in the air
but it vanished
without a trace

I wanted
My pie in the sky
But you gave it me
In the face


PPS I’m so sorry for using the word ‘ye’ before – ‘twas a mistake.

PPS You have a dog called Oftenbark!?

PPPS I can be a self hating girl sometimes.

PPPPS I don’t remember you trying to kiss me either...but the sentiment is sweet…the night was sweet too…

  1. These drunk people type so much better than I do when I'm sober. Skills, they have them.

  5. Chris, it's true - they are so cautious. But in their caution they seem to give themselves away. That they care. That they have doubt.

  6. Miss Holly, I feel so lucky that I have access and could read it in a short period of time. I couldn't stop either. I so want to give hints about what happens -- but I'll stop writing before I say too much.

  13. I think if he had had a cat, not a dog, she would think he were a psycho. A cat called Clawdia.

  14. we generally don't need a wall to hide love..walls are a defense mechanism...fear of being hurt by love more likely.

  17. About time she said more! Dom's been so ridiculously open I'd be worried if she didn't start giving him more. I'm totally hooked, my boyfriend is sat on the couch watching telly whilst I've become completely immersed in their world, Love the beginnings of a romance.
