The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy (and other stories)
By Tim Burton.
One for the Burton fans here, particularly anybody fond of wither The Nightmare Before Christmas or The Corpse Bride. It's a short collection of poems, mostly regarding odd freakish children - Oyster Boy (A boy who's an oyster, as you probably guessed), Robot Boy (conceived after his mother played away with a microwave), The Boy With Nails in His Eyes, Stain Boy, Match Girl, The Girls with Many Eyes - you get the picture. some fab child-like drawings appear alongside the poems to give it an innocent edge, almost as though they are to accompany nursery rhymes. I for one wish I'd been able to listen to stuff like that when I was a kid, rather than the nonsense my mom used to come out with. Why can't more people simply be warped?

Your mum doesn't sound to bad to me

I know my mom's gonna hate this - she loved the film purely because she got to see David Bowie's johnson. Imagine being told that when you're a kid - probably why I'm so warped now. O.

Perhaps not from those posts - but I don't actually keep in contact with her these days for reasons best kept to themselves. I probably would have turned out warped anyway - I think I got it from my Dad's side of the family.

My Dad keeps saying to Mum "where the hell did we get him from" and Mum always blames my dads side of the family
To change the subject..... Piper..... I ate half my Cadbury and Thornton eggs for breakfast, so you haven't got a hope of getting any
