An old bracelet my kitty had hid. I shook it for her and threw it back in a different corner for her to find and hide again.

I'll let you know, if I do any.

I'm still at Sarah's stage in the process i.e. picking something up and just throwing it somewhere else.

when we moved into our new flat and set about cleaning the three and a half years worth of FILTH from surfaces and exploring all the strange cupboards we found a latex marge simpson mask and some other junk.

I found some xmas presents my parents gave to me from 2 years ago that I had just taken home and forgotten to open. Still can't figure out how it slipped my mind.

One time I was in a coffee shop minding my own when this filmmaker that I knew started handing out red foam clown noses, of which he had a surplus in his knapsack. They were a promotional item of some sort, for a film he'd just completed, and he'd gotten tired of carrying them around with him.

Presumably out of boredom, some people in my vicinity put on their clown noses and continued their daily work and/or conversation as if there was nothing abnormal about them. I left mine on my table. About 20 minutes later, this cute interloper noticed what was going on, came up to me and starting asking questions like 'Where did you get your nose?' and 'How long have you had it?' I thought the whole line of questioning was kind of odd until I realized that she was actually A PROFESSIONAL CLOWN who was in fact inquiring about my clowning educational background.

Flummoxed, and operating under the false assumption that as a clown she was in possession of a sense of humour, I explained the situation and then made a lame joke to the effect of 'I'll bet if you'd known they were giving out noses here you wouldn't have bothered with school' to which she actually left in a huff. The moral: Tracer is a good guy at spring cleaning.

I did spring cleaning with 'people', meaning I consciously decided to have no more contact with anybody designated by myself as a fuckin' spaz. Expect me to rule the statscock by an astronomical margin very soon. Oh except now I don't have access to anybody's computer anymore. Gotta go I hear a key turning in the lock

Heh heh heh. Very luvly.

Nicole, I'm still bemused at your finding these old presents.

Does this mean you don't get your nose until you graduate Clown Uni? "NO NOSE FOR YOU UNTIL YOU PROVE YOU'RE FUNNY!"

hey that's not a nice way to talk about Brown University

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Friday, 4 April 2003 16:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah Luna I think it's actually a serious rite of passage.

Wonder what you get for graduating from Mime College?

I hate clowns anyway

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 4 April 2003 16:24 (twenty-two years ago)

"That's it! You people have stood in my way long enough, I'm going to clown college!"

Beats Bovine University.
