Kinda funny-lookin'

[zotz]

It's official. I look odd.

I was at the Auld Hoose last night with CJ, Helen (Helen who used to share a flat with Angie, that is - I haven't seen her in nearly ten years) and Laura, a very longstanding friend of CJ's who's an anthropologist. Apparently I look funny, and have the wrong cheekbones for a mainland Scot. They'd be the right cheekbones if I was Japanese, Mongolian or Inuit, apparently. Or potentially Orcadian (which is obviously much more plausible). So if nothing else I got an anecdote out of the evening.

Supplemental : she mentioned being an Archers fan and hanging around on boards somewhere. Obviously I mentioned swisstone but the alpine connection drew a blank.

Actually, of course, it was a very good evening. Addlestone's, interesting conversation, and then myself and CJ went on to Vain, where there were a few more friends I could chat to.

And in other news, there's another reworking of a Chick tract here

This week I finally read Days (thanks to razornet and/or vyvyan for the recommendation) and had an interview for a job helping mind a 310 and a 3100. I could do this. No problem. I haven't heard back. I'll let you know when I do, obviously. I've been streaming stuff of the Beeb's website, too. You'll Have Had Your Tea, Mitch Benn, Boothby Graffoe, Radios One and Six, that sort of thing. I'm having trouble with live365, but you can't have everything.

London the week before was a lot of fun, even though Fiona was slightly unwell. Rathaus was a lot of fun, with lots of people to talk to. On Sunday I drove back up, after picking CJ up in Walthamstow. The traffic was kind, and the trip took near-as-dammit exactly seven hours, which is exactly what I usually claim it takes.

It's true, and it is the cheekbones. I always thought there was something odd about you. Freak.

You should have used your mugshot icon, that demonstrates your cheekbones better.

I think you're lovely looking, even if you are funny looking too. But you know that. xxx

Phwoar!

I wonder if she'd have any theories as to who it was that filed crazyscot's cheekbones to points for him..

I wouldn't worry, that funny Wasson woman you've got up there with you always said I looked like a Native American.
Incidentally, if you mention this to her, say I called her 'That Paragon of Loveliness Wasson woman". :-)

I just read a book called Days a week or two ago... it was a random purchase in a tube station bookstore when I was waiting for a job interview to begin. Is your Days the one about the hyperstore? Or is it something else?
