Day 65: I Am Giving Up Smoking

In three minutes.

Enough already. It never suited me, like being fat didn't (doesn't) suit me. And I smell, and cough, and may die, and all the other stuff you see on the ads on the telly.

I suppose it's like being fat, or drinking too much, or filling your face with coke every day, or sleeping with people you don't like much because you're lonely; common sense doesn't work. You only stop when you think to yourself, as you are doing whatever thing it is you do that may kill you or make you mad, "you fucking twat".

And anyway, my brother says that after you've stopped smoking for a few weeks weird shit comes out of your lungs, like grey spirals in the shape of your lung-y bits. And I'm not missing that for all the fags in China.

Cough.

Errrrm...if you do this do we all have to? It's on my *to do* list...honest it is!
Perhaps you should get the cat re-homed before you start this...methinks he's in for a reallyyyyyy bad time!
I'm off to work now to pin my lovely new picture on the wall by my desk ;)

Also, I would like a cigarette.

You will cough up interesting shit if you quit. I thought I had actually coughed up my kidneys, but apparently it was just a reasonable facsimile.

Still, quite colorful.

M - thank you for your support

TL - did you take photographs? I'm going to. Nothing to report yet, just an urge to eat my own hands - I'm giving it until next Friday and if I'm not 'producing' anything, I'm going to sue whoever said not smoking was a good idea.

Search for Curschmann's spirals in Google Images. I dare you. Having laid eyes on that shit you might never want to smoke again, or eat for that matter. Barf.

"...I like you more than I would like
To have a cigarette."

Now I am thinking of Pomes, which is a sure sign that I am turning into a twat. As it goes, that one's acceptable because it's a bit of Wendy Cope and not Ezra Fucking Pound or WB "I only ever had a drink in a pub in Ireland once and it was a small sherry then I left because the pub was full of Irish people and they scared me" Yeats.

Cough.

Oh dear.

I did BEFORE YOU EVEN THOUGHT OF IT. Which is right, because I am older than you, and therefore clevererer, so it makes absolute sense.

(To nick something Infinitemuppets talked about months ago, I am amused to see the word verification on this comment is wupsi. Excellent.)
