Hello! I'm a new reader, just wanted to let you know I'm loving the diary, keep it up! Gem x
from heelandlass :
Aha! Yes, at the heart of it I am fine - thank you for noticing. And I didn't know the steamer was unhappy if you didn't use it, what does it do? And have you ever cooked rice on it? It didn't work when I did it.... I did notice that all the stuff flakes off the element thing that seems to produce all the heat though. It's minging. And i was hoping you could give me a knitting tip - I've knitted a scarf (it's shoddy as anything) but I can't figure out how to get the bloody wool off the needles. How do you cast off? I am too embarrassed to ask my granny, who spent approximately 8 years of her life trying to teach me how to knit. This would be like a punch in the stomach for her!
from heelandlass :
You know what? The light was a little bit different and there was a much sweeter smell in the air. I couldn't put my finger on it, but now I know!! Next time maybe a wee stop off in Edinburgh and a glassette of wine might be in order?!
from heelandlass :
And where have you been young lady?! Lovely to hear from you! Gyms are Evil! Evil! Evil! I think they're on their way out. Well, in my world they are anyway!
from heelandlass :
I just logged on to have a rant about UK Hall of Fame. Jeebus, what is it all about? I switched it off when I realised even Alanis Morrisette couldn't be arsed learning the words for the Bob Dylan songs she was playing. Rubbish!
from heelandlass :
Hmm. I'm not sure. Maybe she managed to impregnate herself through the power of yoga!
from heelandlass :
Haha, my evil plan worked! Hope you feel better soon. And if you see Hitch, don't blame me for it! It's poop. But watchable poop....
from heelandlass :
Ooh I dreamt about you last night! You worked in a really lovely shop in London and I popped in to buy a present for a friend and you were serving me and you said something about a knitted i-pod customer and I went 'you're not jennyj are you?' and lo! You were. And we went out for drinks. And it was lovely! Glad your job is going well, very glad indeed. xxx
from heelandlass :
How's the new job going? xxx
from heelandlass :
Unfortunately, I know nothing about Hamilton I'm afraid. It's quite close to Lanark though, which is quite close to the Borders, so there's bound to be some lovely countryside around it. The accents will be very Glasgow-like, I'm pretty sure. As for the shell suits, well, you know, it's kilts first, shell suits second! I'm wearing a shell suit as we speak. Not really though...
from heelandlass :
Oh I would love a knitted i-pod cover, but I don't have an i-pod. Do you think you could knit me one of those first?! Where about in Scotland are your family moving to? Tell them it's getting colder minute by minute!
from girlsdontcry :
I've done it, I've done it! But it was hard so I don't think I did it very well...
from dinahsoar :
Just stumbled into your diary. You had me at "A little black cloud in a dress".
from heelandlass :
Well I'm just glad you're taking it so seriously!
from heelandlass :
You'd certainly know your way round Scotland if you had to do it blindfolded! You minx you!
from heelandlass :
Oh yeah! I forgot he said that. I was too wrapped up in his accent. Hah. I will have to call him and ask him now. As if. Do you like all Scottish accents? Or only some of them? I can't imagine you'd be partial to Dundonians. It's not exactly the voice of romance!
from jennyj :
What do you think the Irish man was telling you? Ha. Of course they are hott! I mean, it's a personal preference of mine but I'm pretty sure I'm not the only person who thinks so.
from heelandlass :
Oh my god! Do they really?! REALLY? That truly is rubbish. I have never thought of that before in my life. Hey I wonder if that means I have a sexy accent. I will need to find ways to try that one out!
from heelandlass :
Oh and having late night chats with boys you've never met. That sounds exciting.
from heelandlass :
But what is it about the Irish accent? I mean, Scottish blokes just don't have it. Neither do the English. And definitely not the Welsh. I think the Irish sound the way that chocolate would sound. If that makes sense.
from heelandlass :
Yes too easy unfortunately, and they know it too. Imagine being able to just say one or two words and having people drop everything and then rub themselves all over you. Well the last bit would be freaky but you know what I mean!
from twttrmchn :
comments: where's the apple? That's what's about me on your favorite diaries list. If he'd stop being only critically acclaimed then we could go somewhere.
from twttrmchn :
ps-What's this apple business in your comments? I can't remember any apples.
from twttrmchn :
That'd be lovely because then I'd insist on going. Alas, he is between labels at the moment, so also between funds for touring.
from heelandlass :
I was thinking exactly the same thing yesterday when I read the news. I looked at the photos of everybody 'defiantly' going to work and I thought that if it were me and I seriously thought I could get away with it, there's no way I'd be going into work. Mainly because it would be a good way to get a day off. Defiance? I don't think so.
from heelandlass :
Yes it's weird. I even kept listening to the repeats, over and over and over again. Insatiable. I think it's because it affects all of us, regardless of what our political beliefs are. Well done for getting back on the tube. I don't know if I would have been able to do it. You've got to though, the longer you'd left it the harder it would get. Do something really lovely this weekend - you all deserve it. xxx
from heelandlass :
Good News Jenny. Look after yourself xx
from heelandlass :
Are you alright Jenny?
from mindriot :
I love the billy bragg lyric you quote.
from theswordsman :
Hi, I like going to the cinema the weekend something comes out. The escapism is more complete when I'm committed to going to that dark room and watching until the movie is over. It's an event. I like to watch DVD's because, first of all, Netflix and others offer thousands of titles. I like the option of fast forwarding, freezing frames, or watching scenes more than once. I can also watch them really early in the morning or late at night.
from refusal :
To answer yr question. Cinema: don't have to buy/rent/return rentals, strange arthouse films, big screen, Filmhouse cafe, no distractions, gets you out of the house. HOME: no mysterious odours, better snacks, fidgeting, no fucking Orange commercials, no bus-stuck-in-traffic woes. Perfection: doesn't stink of mould or hotdogs; seats don't squeak; doesn't show the annoying Orange gits being annoying all the fucking time; doesn't have all the good films on while I'm at work; latecomers are shot. And total ban on Vin Diesel/French people having guilty sex and long conversations.
from pollymagoo :
Some horrid kid said to me yesterday, 'You wanna get a new bike, love.' No, actually, I don't. And also, when did kids start calling grown-up people 'love'? But isn't it satisfying (and a bit surprising) how you can be INCREDIBLY rude back and then just whizz off faster than they can run?
from heelandlass :
You certainly know how to offend people don't you?! I can't believe anyone took the time to be offended about your US measurements quip. People are strange aren't they? And getting stranger...
from heelandlass :
Welcome home JennyJ. Hope the w-word wasn't too stinking for you today. Hopefully you're off on Monday so that will make you feel better. If you're not on holiday on monday you have permission to slap me if ever we meet. xxx
from buck88 :
you do know that even tho me and polly are close we arent actually boyfriend and girlfriend. hope that clears everything up.
from pablo :
AAAAArrrggggh! I meant you as well! My mind skipped forward to karaoke by mistake. It was wonderful to see you as always. Soz. I changed it. More drinks soon? P xx
from pollymagoo :
But yours is not boring at all! I am so bored of mine I can hardly bring myself to write in it.
from me-in-munich :
Get a load of this: http://www.mirell.org/swf/london_underground.swf Hillarious! Love Kathie
from heelandlass :
That's true actually Jenny, I didn't think of it like that before. That is so right. I have been thinking of the film a lot more over the last day or two, it's obviously slow release, i'll be bawling all over the place by Sunday!
from heelandlass :
And no wonder! That's rubbish. Well, you could officially invite people? Even send a little invitation card and then they'd have to stay at yours and then you'd get your way over the rubbish richoes!
from twttrmchn :
Oh, 'twasn't you that made me cry. Just something you said.
from oh-sweet-pea :
so funny about your entry on crushes...i had a huge crush on a cute boy who lived on a cul-de-sac and one sunny sunday after church, my dad drove right up the street and when i pointed out this boy's address to my dad, he stopped the car and honked for what seemed like a looong time! very embarassing!
from oh-sweet-pea :
haha! yes, you are probably right and i'm now paying for being so smug!
from heelandlass :
The weird thing about the whole eye testing thing is that I actually needed glasses from the age of 17, I was told I'm long sighted so I don't really understand how my eyes can have fixed themselves. I fear I may have been getting ripped off until now!
from buck88 :
hot chocolate is not an indulgence, godiva is an indulgence, .... am really itching to get my hands on a good jigsaw puzzle.
from heelandlass :
Mmm, Next men they were the height of all gloriousness. But, you've also forgotten the gillet advert men - as in 'gillet, the best a man can get'. I used to sit with my remote control ready to tape the advert again and again and again so I'd have a whole video tape full of them. And of course there was the Athena postcard men and the brat pack. Ah, those days. Jazz was the nicest aftershave a boy could wear and all the boys you fancied had secret names so you could write notes about them in class and not have your cover blown if a classmate/teacher got hold of teh letter. I never did marry SS secret squirrel. Oh well. Have a happy christmas JennyJ - xxxx
from heelandlass :
I just about had a heartattack eating that recipe! Seriously, if you're making them, eat them slowly and drink fluids in between!
from fusco :
thanks for your kind welcome to these shores (four years down a future to go), but don't think i get EU rights for a while yet, but happy to be here all the same.
from heelandlass :
I have heard that story, I reckon they got everything they deserved, imagine walking down the ailse to that muck. I feel sick just thinking about it! On another note, I've just noticed that you have 'so I married an axe murderer' as one of your favourite films. I was calling everybody 'heed' at the weekend and for the life of me I couldn't remember what it was from. I am going to do it again all this weekend now you've reminded me. Fantastic.
from jeromejunior :
i haven't read the stones of summer yet either. perhaps we should start an intercontinental book club? it sounds like a daunting read. thanks for paying attention, jenny j.

from heelandlass :
I meant to write to you the other day when you were indulging yourself in a bit of lovely Lemonheadyness that there's nothing sad about it at all, I do it regularly. I rushed home the other day to hear 'outdoor type' because it had been stuck in my head all day and in a real girly confession to you - I walked down the ailse to the acoustic version of Into your Arms. I'm all for it! As you can tell. Ahem. xxx
from heelandlass :
Thank you so very much for emailing me about that film club. That was the one I was going to join anyway, so having a month free is tops! At first I thought you were normally some kind of spammer, I'm so used to getting emails to that address that say 'Heeland Lass, get some hat sweety sox from boyz who loov at'. What a relief to get a proper piece of mail! Thank you xxx
from fusco :
well, we've all made the mistake of *paying* to see Nick, until we realised he'd probably be on the upstairs deck of the night bus.
from fusco :
usually i try to limit myself to shoe discussions, but thought i could fit everything i learned at uni into one paragraph, so i might as well go for it. my brain hurts now.
from mynameismatt :
wanted to say Thankyou - went to Westonbirt today on your (sort of) recommendation and it contributed to my best weekend in months, autmunal swirliness by the bucketful. xx
from heelandlass :
Hah. Me too actually - not fair to blame it on the radio!
from heelandlass :
Are you listening to 6music today? I can't concentrate on my work, I keep zoning out and singing along to everything!
from heelandlass :
Need a hankie? It's terrible news isn't it?
from pollymagoo :
You are a bad bad person. Yuck.
from pollymagoo :
Your guestbook won't work. Anyway. If you got married, and your husband turned out to be a bodybuilding fanatic/ a Travis fan/ a lover of random questions related to future husbands, how would you feel about that?
from heelandlass :
It's a strength in itself Jenny - knowing your limitations. If only everybody were as clever as you and I!
from heelandlass :
That's definitely the avenue I would've gone down but Bandito likes to say things like 'why would we pay someone to do it when I'm perfectly capable?' it's the same as 'why would we ask for directions when we're not lost?' and 'no I don't need to remind my sister that she's looking after the cat while we're away, she wasn't that pissed when I asked her'.
from heelandlass :
I'm hearing you! If we all go out at the weekend and get seriously blotto, I think we might have made a combine effort of showing DIY exactly what we think of it. It always looks so easy on the telly. Grrrr.
from pollymagoo :
nothing since i asked about the party clothes, no. oh i hate it when this happens. is it always on friday? how can we plan the weekend? cups and string would be a more effective means of communication.
from buck88 :
www.kostich.com/ cougar.htm , ahem, i think my big pussy knowledge is to be trusted.
from buck88 :
i think that giant pussy is a cougar. altho you think its vagina.
from mynameismatt :
isn't the lead in Singing in the rain Adam Cooper? he was in the first production of Bourne's Swan Lake - sex on legs, i can attest. much as i'm looking forward to it, i think that Autumn swirliness, like Christmass cosiness, will only come when we stop willing it so damn hard. patience. x
from heelandlass :
I did yawn when you wrote it! That's mad. The fireworks are amazing aren't they, they used to have ones that were blue rings with red star shapes in the middle. I loved those the best.
from heelandlass :
Hah! Wasn't it strange meeting up with everyone in real life? I had a chance to meet up with Pablo when he was in Edinburgh but I was really busy that week, I was really nervous at the thought of it, although I was up for it. JennyJ is a pretty cool name though - I chose badly at the start! (I am a total arse, I just wrote this note in my own note section. Durrr.)
from heelandlass :
yeah, that's a good way to look at it to be honest. at least it's easier if i was to quote you in public 'my friend jenny' it's when you get to 'my friend onewetleg' or whatever. blank looks all round I expect. mind you 'my friend heelandlass' isn't the best!
from heelandlass :
baggsies I get a piece of cake!
from buck88 :
look at you giving out all the prizes to yourself.
from buck88 :
i will TAKE THE PRIZE for sorting it out as soon as i get out of bed and finish this packet of hob nobs
from buck88 :
no, it makes you crazy.
from heelandlass :
My friend went on holiday with the girls last year and when she got her photos back there was a great one of the three of them, till they noticed a guy standing behind holding his willy in his hand and pointing at them with the other one. Bleeeee! I have shown that photo to everybody I know now. It's a sick mixture of humour and horror! Brilliant. xxx
from heelandlass :
I can't stop laughing at that man anemone photo! I tried to tell someone at work about it before I showed them it and none of my words came out properly! I'm so glad you posted it, it's made my dreary rained on week very amusing!
from pollymagoo :
Spies! I have checked and no one but me is having a problem. Is someone reading my mail? I do hope not.
from pollymagoo :
WHY, ARE YOU MAILING ME? I HAVE HAD NOTHING! AND MY SISTER SAYS SHE SENT A MESSAGE THIS MORNING! AND I DO NOT HAVE IT!
from mynameismatt :
glad you liked it. Tom is so clever, he makes me cross. beautiful too (but this is fast becoming a whole OTHER story...) looking at your profile...i really like your icon - tres cool. do the Cardigans fit into your general Scando-pop liking? xx
from erinlew :
healesville is not really near daylesford, but there is a vego b&b in daylesford, too! did you enjoy your stay there, or was it more of a gimmick? we stayed in a cottage in daylesford last year and loved it.
from unhappyboy :
I don't know if you clicked the link to my 'review', but if you did you would see that i'm not exactly going to writing for rectangle anytime soon..
from buck88 :
u still use covent garden tube??!, i have a concretes promo ep thing if you want. lets pretend i got it for u esspecially.x
from pnkdycnmiror :
hello. i dig your diary and i realized you are from london. i'm going to be there and in york for about a week this summer and i was wondering if you could give me any insider tips on some fun, non-touristy things to do there. e-mail me at [email protected] if you like. goodbye
from mynameismatt :
that thing you wrote about feelings - making you burst and then fading so quickly - so succint. you are the queen of understatement. glad to see you back at diaryland. xx
from pollymagoo :
In fact it's neither, just someone else's lyrics pretending to be my diary entry until I can get my head together tomorrow.
from buck88 :
i love brucies photos too, i just wish i wasnt on any of them, why oh why lady can we never meet for the grand bejewelled challenge?
from buck88 :
you reminded me too late, which one have you got already? i have a swollen bear headache but im in fine tune
from buck88 :
now i remember, im the only person on your favourites list without a comment form yerself, whats all that about then?
from buck88 :
i know i shudnt message u here but, i didnt listen to the stories cos i thought maybe it wud be billed to my room and ever so expensive, and now ive forgotten the other thing that i wanted to say.
from pollymagoo :
Have to note you in here as evil work spying system won't let me go to the other one. Have just read your note to Buck and think Kimya is definitely playing. I've been trying to find somewhere selling tickets all morning with no success but it is listed in several listings-type places. Maybe we will see you there?
from buck88 :
emalianai torreni(???), that icelandic lady with that nice debut album has co-written the new kylie single so maybe now she will get some recognition and invites to GQ tits of the year award 'dos'. just thought id let you know.
from inaptbeauty :
hi i added you in my DTC (diaryland trading cards) collection. wanna trade? http://inaptbeauty.diaryland.com/card2nd.html
from mynameismatt :
i was just about to email you and tell you that you're missed, gosh darn it; then i come and discover you've returned with no prompting at all! i hope the hiatus helped. am in Australia, hence the erratic use of internet. glad, matt. x
from gracebuckley :
wow, badly drawn boy rules!!!!!! hes pretty cool and he sings about jeff buckley in one of his songs
from mariastuart :
diary locked :(
from snailpetal :
password protected? { knocks furiously & looks for the cat-flap } hope all's well clara x
from bluebarb :
where's your diary? just a white page?!
from mynameismatt :
i don't think there's anything substandard about UCL at all (i mean it's like in the top 5 for tutorial quality in the country, isn't it?). just that because it's the 'radical alternative', you get prestige AND, more importantly, FUN for your money. maybe i'm unduly influenced by its alumni - my friend's cool daughter and (i imagine from your impassioned defence) your lovely self too; but it just seems like a more relaxed and interesting place than the old oxbridge civil servant production line, in which i don't think i will thirve. forgiven? x
from mynameismatt :
ooo Jenny i am so envying you right now! don't want to be some awful jinx, but it seems like you've got everything sorted - job, boy, new bathroom etc. anyway, just wondered about one of your answers on snlptl's survey; shattering illusions - is it bad for the bearer of the illusion, or for the person of whom the illusion is held? because i'd imagine you to mean the latter, but maybe not? do tell. matt x
from bonzai :
Hey Jen, long time no? Seems you're still work dodging to keep your diary going - good work! Just thoguht I'd drop in and check all is good. Take care honey and have fun. Bonzai xxxxx
from girlsdontcry :
I signed your guestbook. Where'd it go?... sigh, I was just saying that you were right about backing off and right about New York. But then I said that I could hatch a cunning plan to hang around and ruin his life, and then I said that most likely I'd forget to do the "ruin his life" bit. Up to speed now? Good, have a grand weekend.
from yukiobird :
Jenny 867-5309 is a song.
from mynameismatt :
the fact that war is so comprehensible and close should have been the reason that you did get up in time for Saturday. i don't mean to be morally superior at all - just enjoying the ghastly paradox, innit? often people remember their dreams because they're not sleeping deeply enough. my advice? two nytols washed down with milk. or some whiskey. not both, mind. x
from snailpetal :
Are you free on Friday night for 1 minute? There are going to be fireworks on the river at Tate Modern to celebrate Chinese New Year. It's at 1900.
from mynameismatt :
i read an article on 'irreversible' a while ago. it has a Daft Punk soundtrack and the longest continous rape scene ever filmed. it's about gay criminals and revenge. or something. on a lighter note, i am going to see Nutcracker! tommorow night. is the '!' obligatory? seems a little silly. always make room for people south of the river - Catford (my locale) has been mentioned twice in Eastenders in as many weeks. matt.
from superniguer :
welcome to supernigger
from snailpetal :
Jennyj. Can I ask your impartial advice? Something bad has happened (or I have discovered something which I shouldn't know, but which is bad & which impacts directly/obliquely on me). Arrrrgh. Oh hell. Happy New Year & stay super Snailpetal x
from mynameismatt :
Ainslie is not gone. yet. he has three tracks on the FA album and, is there is any sense in the world, release an album of Kinks and Buzzcocks covers. what 'proper' music do you like? your diary is appealing and i am not as sad as this note might suggest. x
from realminto :
'Hands Off She's Mine' was by THE BEAT as far as I can remember
from davidde :
I apologize -- I don't mean to be anti-British. That is a famous quote from Bridge on the River Kwai by a Japanese Colonel who is irritated at Alex Guiness's staunch resistance to the treatment of British prisoners in Southeast Asia during WWII.
from davidde :
oh, yeah, baby. we're gonna heat things up.
from quietlyhappy :
dearest jennyj, you don't know me nor will you ever, but i must comend you on your excellent musical tastes. Love, etc. QuietlyHappy
from jennyj :
pass me a note - this time the teacher won't catch me with it and make me bring it up to the front of the class
