I just came from the secretary's office, where I caught the following exchange:

Secretary: you are sending me doodle!
Lecturer: I'm not sending you anywhere, I think you are already there.
Secretary: do you want a clonk?

oh, and listen to Travis? I think they were packed up and shipped out of London a while ago... the cool thing about here is that there is no sort of "purity" in terms of style (like Goth, or Skin, or Emo)... people kinda mix and match to fit who they are (i think)...

I don't know where i stand... i think i'm too selfconscious to say I'm this or that... but I definetly would not be caught dead in a thrift store t-shirt (unless it was a very very good one.)

bwhahahah..well at least you got rid of them!

really? I am surprised by that because it seems like there are some people there with some serious sticks up their butt about who should be wearing what, and mod revivalists and etc.

I call myself a skinhead, but I am really more like a skinhead, punk, mod mix...my friend told me the other day I dress like a grown up punk rocker...that made me laugh!! :)

well, maybe you are right... there are people in Camden Town (this area of London) who fit the Emo, or Goth or Punk look. But, to me, what counts is if the person really believes in it, if it means more to them than just fitting in with their friends. Maybe when your friend called you a grown up punk, she meant that you are in it because you believe in it as a way of life, because that's who you are, as an adult.
I think that's great...
:]

I think that's right on the mark! I have been listening to punk, and dressing punk or skin (although there have been a few different incarnations of that :P) since I was 13, and I can't really see my style or my sense of myself ever changing, I have toned it down slightly, but it hasnt' affected the way I think or feel about myself or the world.

I think I am going to put you on my list of special people...tell me if you feel uncomfortable with that
