TK. Overeducated and shambolic writerling desperately trying to repackage teenage angst for the cloistered elite.

I also cook occasionally.

Conversations with the Bitch

In which TK is shown to be by far the least interesting of his friends:

Me: Ugh- look over there. That's just wrong.
She: It's unconventional, sure. They're his feet to do with as he likes.
Me: Don't you think it's just morally wrong? Like, offensive to the beauty of our surroundings?
She: No. Freedom of expression, ya know. Kinda one of the staples of our society?
Me: Well, yes. But so is a sense of decency.
She: It's not indecent.
Me: Look, I don't care what he does in private but this (wild gesticulation) is a public place. For goodness sake, we're practically in the shadow of Parliament!
She: Where better to exercise your basic freedoms? Besides, he's probably an MP, it's exactly the sort of thing they do. (shudders)
Me: Yeah. Or a Lord. Should definitely know better.
She: Well, parliamentarian he may be, but he's perfectly entitled to wear socks with sandals. As is anyone.
Me: You don't really think that?
She: Fuck no. Just playing devil's advocate.

Phone rings

Me: Hello?
She: Hello darling. Did you know there's a cyclone coming?
Me: No... are you drunk?
She: Quite possibly, yes. Too much wine!
Me: I thought you were going to your grandmother's tonight?
She: Yes. She's drunk too. (I hear a rather intimidating cackle from her
end.)
Me: Riiiiiight. Erm...doesn't she have a liver problem?
She: Oh.... yeah. (giggle). Nannaaaaaaaaaaaah...?

While watching Chicago.

She: You know, they should have had a threesome with Velma in this film. It would be hot.
Me: Lolita alert! Did you actually just call Richard Gere hot?
She: Not on his own. I meant in tandem with Catherine Zeta Jones and Renee Zellweger.
Me: Ewww. Gere looks old and Renee Zellweger looks like a freaking baby.
She: Yeah, but Catherine Zeta Jones.
Me: Undoubtedly. But why defile her with Gere? Isn't her real life "silver fox" gross enough?
She: Yeah, but Gere looks better than Douglas would in guyliner and with his hand up Renee Zellweger's arse.
