Treacle

Yeah so I don't know why I called this post 'Treacle'. I don't even like treacle, and I have certainly not been anywhere near the stuff recently. Surprisingly I do quite like treacle toffee tho...Go figure.

<:AtomicElement>Bagpuss is giving me funny looks from off the top of my dressing table. He's got really beady eyes, and with his big black yawny mouth open like that it looks like he's hungry and wants to eat me. And yes, I know, it's a cudly stuffed toy...I'm not quite that insane just yet. On the day when I think my cuddly toys are actually trying to get me, I deserve to be locked up.

<:AtomicElement>Had an email about Download the other day. I really want to go again this year, but I don't know if:
  • <:AtomicElement>Anyone else I know is going.
  • <:AtomicElement>Gary is able to afford to go
  • <:AtomicElement>If he is going, if he's taking her with him.
  • <:AtomicElement>If he's not going if I'll be able to get there on the train with all my stuff

<:AtomicElement>I should imagine Terry will want to go. Sam will probably be in prison, Craig will probably be going...But I reckon if Gary doesn't go, then no-one else will, and if Gary takes Her with him, then I can't go. Not with them anyway. Plus last year they were really arsey when I asked if we could camp as close to the pathway as possible because of my eyesight. This year if they try to be arsey again I'll sue em for disability discrimination, as this year I'm registered visually impaired, and I have a white stick (not for beating people with...honest)

<:AtomicElement>I night go on the website in a bit and see what they have to say about disability etc. There's provision made for people with wheelchairs and other physical disabilities, so why not for people with visual impairments? It's not like I'm asking for a space on the disabled campsite...I'm quite happy to rough it with the rest of the world, just want a little consideration for my disability...I mean have you ever tried to negotiate a crowded campsite in the dark when you're desperate for a wee? Well now imagine what it's like when you can't distinguish tent from shadow, and guy ropes are completely invisible...

<:AtomicElement>

<:AtomicElement>Indeed. It's bad enough in daylight. Last year it was fine up until the point that people kept pitching tents in the gaps between tents, it was like one of those mad MC Escher drawings...you know the one with the birds, where the gaps between the birds turns out to be another bird? Except with tents. And some fucker stole my flags last year too.

<:AtomicElement>Ohh I want to go to Download. Even tho it will probably be far too hot again, and the rank stink from the 'toilets' was so bad last year it could have felled an elephant from a mile away. I still want to go. Talkin of the toilets...people are vile at festivals... Last year one of the lads went into a cubicle, and some filth bastard had taken a shit in all four corners of the cubicle. Have to say, baby wipes and a scented handkerchief are essential when braving the toilets.

<:AtomicElement>

<:AtomicElement>And despite all this I still want to go.

<:AtomicElement>

<:AtomicElement>Anyone want to come with me?
