and then i realised that DUH! how stupid am i? i could save that money for a _computer_ instead! so today i e-mailed simplenet and i hope i caught them in time and so that they cancelled the account and invoice because i'm already picturing me on the livingroom floor watching tv and typing up journal entries and e-mails and homework on a grey rickety old used computer. i'm just too impulsive sometimes.

lovely creature by nick cave.

There she stands, this lovely creature
There she stands, there she stands
With her hair full of ribbons
And green gloves on her hands

So I asked this lovely creature
Yes, I asked. Yes I asked
Would she walk with me a while
Through this night so fast

She took my hand, this lovely creature
"Yes", she said, "Yes", she said
"Yes, I'll walk with you a while"
It was a joyful man she led

Over hills, this lovely creature
Over mountains, over ranges
By great pyramids and sphinxs
We met drifters and strangers

Oh the sands, my lovely creature
And the mad, moaning winds
At night the deserts writhed
With diabolical things

Through the night, through the night
The wind lashed and it whipped me
When I got home, my lovely creature
She was no longer with me

Somewhere she lies, this lovely creature
Beneath the slow drifting sands
With her hair full of ribbons
And green gloves on her hands
