Hey! List five things that make you happy, then if you want, put this in the askbox of the last ten people who liked or reblogged something from you.

1. Autumn - just everything about it, the weather / temperature, the visuals, the clothing options, it's mi birfdi guv'nor, the RELIEF that it is no longer the loathsome Summer.

2. Hanging with friends / family. I am a simple soul, I just want a bunch of like souls, a pub garden, weather nice enough to sit out in but not so hot I want to die (we're talking nothing over 24 here....) and no deadlines.

3. Music. Yeah, that's an overly-general cop-out but I make music for a living and if someone told me I couldn't play again, or sing, I'd never recover. Leaping across the kitchen to whack the radio up to 11 because a CHOOOOON just came on, the Proustian flashbacks entailed therein, making up silly alternative lyrics to songs we've known since childhood, singing in large choirs, singing along with the radio on roadtrips, all of it.

4. Good food. Good simple food. Fresh bread + butter + cheese + a glass of beer or wine in a gite garden. Fish 'n' chips on the sea-front. The Family Sunday Roast. Cup of tea & a biscuit.

5. Being in/on the water. One of two people in a punt on a river. One of a thousand people in a cross-sea ferry. Standing up to my knees in the FREEZING sea where I grew up. Swimming in the quarter-degree-warmer lake, avoiding eels. Building dams in the streams for a whole afternoon, still would. I need to live near moving water.

So for the next five days I have to take a stupid amount of drugs -

- I should have been taking a stupid amount of drugs for the last five days, but the drugs make me sick and it was the Easter weekend and I had 7 services in 72hrs and a really nice lunch planned so that wasn't going to happen (I want to miss the dawn service for the usual reasons - Sloth, indolence - not because I'm vomiting blood & acid) -

- and anyway if I'm having to take that many stupid grim-inducing drugs I may as well have fun with it so for the next few days I shall be arty.

Behold, a Boat:

Little Earthquakes is a masterpiece, but I can't remember when was the last time I've heard Me and a Gun, it's too much to handle

See, I am The Old. My copy of Little Earthquakes is on cassette, and a pirate cassette at that (I got it from a guy who literally has TORI and AMOS tattooed across his knuckles). And the thing with cassettes is - for those too young to remember - it's *really hard* to skip tracks. You've only got the FF & RW buttons and no way of telling where the track ends* so you're constantly running it backwards 'n' forwards 'n' backwards 'n' forwards and is that the dying chords of the last song or the opening chord of the next song and what even IS the next song it's a pirate cassette so if the track listing is written at all it's in some guy's handwriting you can't read and anyway the tape's been sitting in the sun for 20 years and it's faded off.

Anyway, my life to this day is 50/50 cassette tapes and radio, so the concept of skipping a song is still a little alien.

*Unless you're my father, in which case next to each track he would scrawl the stereo's counter number for each track. Spot the engineer...

Being given a Cognitive Assesment Test when you're autistic is hilarious because the Consultant is all 'and how were you fEeLIng at that exact time?' and I'm like buddy I couldn't tell you that on my best day, I'm just <Homer_Simpson_I_Dunno_Noise.wmv>, can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?

I teach, and when kids ask "What's being an adult like?" I sum it up thus:

"You can have cake for breakfast whenever you want, but a) you have to pay for it, and b) if it makes you sick you have to clear it up...."

Seems legit.

This. This is it. This is all I want. And I hope it is public as I wish to go and sit in front of it for a whole day or a whole week and just stare.

Wonder where it is?

*checks*

Ah crap. I hope it is...safe?
