Bitching while stoned

I'm not just a muso. I've got a brain as well, and I think Barbara constantly belittles my intelligence cos she's a scientist as well as a musician and editor.

Which is why she's constantly surprised when I demonstrate it.


People don't like this combination of someone that has a real knack for songs with someone that has strong political and moral views. -


It's like they think that the actors write and block movies! Or research and compile documentaries. I've spent years on this trans one too, though I've barely scratched the surface, as it wasn't a top priority. B's not a film person. She doesn't know what I do for a living. -


The 151 days song is quite apt. Like, nobody seriously got in touch until after The Dakumentary.


There was an essential embargo on socialising with me or collaborating with me, so my boycott is the response. My crush on Chloe is what it is: I make no apologies for it, as it produced a wonderful documentary. - Replying to me is important btw. It really pisses me off when people don't, and I'm totally willing to spam them to get a response. Depending on how pissed I am.

The irritating thing about being the trannie is that I want to be the woman, but all the women expect me to do the legwork. How about emailing me if you like my stories?

Replying to

Even though Barbie and Lauren don't reply, they've never told me not to send emails. Barbara replies occasionally. Lauren's obviously holding a grudge.
