Rosie's parents have gone away for the night and she is planning on having the cinema experience at her place.Hmmmmm.I phoned her and said, "When you say 'cinema experience,' what exactly do you mean by that?"She said, "You know what I mean, my little pally. All of us in the dark, snogging and eating popcorn."I said, "Yes, but the added mystery ingredient in the usual 'cinema experience' is that there is a film on."Rosie assures me that there will be a film on, a "special" film. But she won't tell me what it is as she wants it to be a "lovely surprise."Now I am frightened.

Just then the doorbell rang. Sven the usherette went to answer it and carried in Dave the Laugh.Dave said, "I like a big girl."I didn't say anything. I felt a bit shy actually. And sort of nervy.Dave got his popcorn and then came and sat down next to me.I have to say, even though I am not interested in this sort of thing, that he looked, well, quite fit. For a matey-type mate.

Miss Wilson said, "I was chatting with, erm, Herr Kamyer..."We all went, "Oh, yes..." And winking and so on. Miss Wilson bobbed madly about."Yes, and by a stroke of good fortune, Herr Kamyer did épée as a young man. Competitively."Rosie said, "Miss Wilson, why are you telling us about Herr Kamyer going to the piddly-diddly department?"Miss Wilson looked completely baffled (no change there then). She said, "I don't understand...."Rosie said, "You said Herr Kamyer did a pee as a young man. Competitively."Miss Wilson started giggling like a goose."Oh, oh, I see...no, no, I said ÉPÉE...it's a form of swordfighting."Good Lord.So Herr Kamyer is going to teach us to sword fight.We may as well book the hospital now.

According to Dave the Laugh, I am beauty personified just as I am.Which is handy.I wonder why he said that to me?The most beautiful girl thing.Was it a joke?Why weren't we laughing?

Urgh, Mr. Potato Head is going a bit green.I can't believe I nearly snogged him when I had snogging withdrawal.I don't fancy him half so much now he is losing his looks!!!!Hahahahahahaha.Shut up.

It's odd having someone really like you. Am I that brilliant? Maybe all Pizza-a-gogo boys are like Masimo.Hang on a minute, Rom is a Pizza-a-gogo type. It's all fitting together now. Rom only snogged Jul once before he shinned up her drainpipe (oo-er) and then he married her and committed suicide.Perhaps all Pizza-a-gogo boys are the same.
