We live like this

[j4]

This weekend I :

• Tidied the spare room
• Finished reading "Sugar Rush" by Julie Burchill (a Christmas present from addedentry, who knows how much I love reading about hot teen growing-up action)
• Gave a huge stack of books to the Amnesty Bookshop (thanks to addedentry for taking them round there)
• Worked at Oxfam Books for 4 hours
• Renewed my MMOC membership
• Exchanged the shirt my mum got me for Christmas (which was a size too big) for one which was just as nice but did fit and cost 7 pounds less (so I now have a lovely purple shirt and a £5 Next voucher)
• Had a nice half-pint of Fat Cat stout at the Winter Ale Festival
• Tidied the rest of the house a bit
• Spent lots of time talking to juggzy and inventing scurrilous internet memes
• Overheard a physics lesson
• Finished a jigsaw
• Played violin duets with lizzip
• Ate lovely noodle soup at Kym-moy
• Drank lots of wine
• Did lots of knitting
• Drank Black Dog mild in the Cambridge Blue and strange wheat beer in the Kingston Arms
• Sang in choral evensong at Peterhouse
• Saw Robyn Hitchcock and the Minus 3 (i.e. three of the Minus 5) play live at the Junction (support band: The Eighteenth Day of May)
• Bought a signed Robyn Hitchcock LP for a fiver which doesn't actually break my New Year's Resolution because the proceeds went to Médicins sans Frontières so it's actually a charity donation, honest

Well, I liked it, because it's got OMG HOTT TEEN LESBONYMS in it, and bits of it were actually quite funny. (NB I have a high tolerance for crap teen school-fic.) But the narrator oscillates wildly between being a vaguely believable fifteen-year-old girl and being (surprise, surprise) Julie Burchill.

I don't think I'd read it again, but not so much because I couldn't bear to as because I know what happens now.

I'd be interested to know what a real live teenager thought of it, though. I may have to lend it to one. Muahahaha.
