Best thing ever (and a load of See You Next Tuesday)

Now when you text a landline, it won't be a Dalek talking, it'll be The Doctor!

How FUCKING COOL is that?!?

Also: Kudos to Germaine Greer on Balderdash & Piffle last night for championing my favourite 4 letter word a mere half hour after the watershed. I love Germaine, she's great fun. Probably her best quote ever was, watching a clip of some dumb lads mangling their knobs in the name of entertainment - "Why are they hurting the penis? The penis is my friend!" But God Bless her for writing the word CUNT in 3 foot high red paint and then challenging why it is we consider it the worst word in the English language - it's not 'A nasty word for a nasty thing" as once described in an early compendium of slang, but a very ancient, earthy, all encompassing word for a wonderful thing that gives life and pleasure. Hell's bells, we all came out of one, half of us have got one and most of the other half spend most of their energy trying to get back into one again.

I'm trying to reclaim Cunt for the Sisterhood - why is it so offensive, considering its beautiful meaning? Not that I don't enjoy using it as an insult, but I'm quite free with it, it's not a terribly harsh insult as far as I'm concerned - I'd use it, with people I'm close to, affectionately - ie if the car or the husband is misbehaving, or as a greeting every time Greaves or Bills phones.

But I also like to call a cunt a cunt. Some of the alternatives are much worse - Fanny? Makes you sound about 7. Front Bottom? Not only anatomically wrong, but very insulting to the glorious organs in question. Vagina? Waaay too clinical, and, as Germaine pointed out, only actually refers to the canal. Pussy's getting there, I like the similie, but Minge...? YUCK! YUCK!!! Minge is a fucking horrible word, much more mysoginistic than Cunt.

And I'm not even going to start on Flange. Ick.

Dream

I had the dream about the dirty shower AGAIN last night. I was back in the old house where I grew up. Sis was there for the first time since Dad died. I wanted to show her the study becuase it had been turned into a shrine to Dad, but in there was a pic of Mum's Fiance. I wanted to hide it from Sis. Then I needed to take a shower, but the shower (our shower, in the flat) was so filthy I couldn't bear to step in it, but I was filthy too.

Meanings, anyone?

I think I'm feeling guilty about my support of Mum's BF, even though Dad & Sis both blamed him for the split. I'm going to the wedding, which I still feel pretty trecharous about.

I HATE the dirty shower. It always means something's wrong.
