16th November

Been ill today. Blergh.

Not written much.
But, it's okay. I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow, and hopefully that'll help me to get better. And then I'll be able to write my little heart out. :)

Excerpt for today:

“God, I wish we had a TV,” Eden moaned. I glared at her. The lack of a television was the least of our worries at the moment. The trailer was falling apart, the window had been boarded up with some wooden boards we had found in a dumpster outside a foodcourt where we had stopped to see if there was any cheap food on offer. We had been unsuccessful with regards to the food, but at least the trailer was a little less drafty now. We’d also had the problem of buying new clothes. The people at the dance club had taken everything else; they’d taken anything they thought would lift a profit, and so now we were driving without TV, radio, or half of the things we had brought with us. Not that we had had much to start with.

“Oh shut up Eden,” Danger retorted. “I don’t think you should be worried about that right now.”

“Well why not?” she asked, short dark hair bouncing as we hit a bump in the road. At least Kez had managed to find that new road map. “I’ve got nothing else to do, have I? We don’t have a fucking TV.”

About Me

My Photo
Name: Kitty Taylor
Location: Derby, Derbyshire, United Kingdom

I'm a 23 year old female, who spends much too much of her time online, and in the book store. I'm in love with writing, and reading and anything mildly creative, really. In the future I'd like to write professionally, because it's something that I know would be perfect for me, but until I come up with best selling material that will keep me in the moneys, I think I'll just head for whatever I can get. Got contacts in the writing business? Let me know, I'd love to learn more about it.

"Come on babe

Why don't we paint the town?

And all that Jazz

I'm gonna rouge my knees

And roll my stockings down

And all that jazz

Start the car

I know a whoopee spot

Where the gin is cold

But the piano's hot

It's just a noisy hall

Where there's a nightly brawl

And all

That

Jazz

Skit two!

And all that Jazz

Hotshot!

Whoopee!

And all that Jazz

Slick your hair

And wear your buckle shoes

And all that Jazz

I hear that Father Dip

Is gonna blow the blues

And all that Jazz

Hold on, hon

We're gonna bunny hop

I bought some aspirin

Down at United Drug

In case you shake apart

And want a brand new start

To do that-

Jazz

Find a flask

We're playing fast and loose

And all that jazz

Right up here

Is where I store the juice

And all that jazz

Come on, babe

We're gonna brush the sky

I bet you lucky Lindy

Never flew so high

'Cause in the stratosphere

How could he lend an ear

To all that Jazz?

Oh, you're gonna see your sheba shimmy shake

And all that jazz

Oh, she's gonna shimmy 'till her garters break

And all that jazz

Show her where to park her girdle

Oh, her mother's blood'd curdle

And If she hears her baby squeal

It's For all that jazz

And all that jazz

And all that jazz

Come on babe

Why don't we paint

The town?

And all that jazz

I'm gonna

Rouge my knees

And roll my

Stockings down

And all that jazz

Start the car

I know a whoopee spot

Where the gin is cold

But the piano's hot

It's just a noisy hall

Where there's a nightly brawl

And all that-

Jazz

No, I'm no one's wife

But, oh, I love my life

And all that Jazz!

That Jazz!"
