Hi! I'm Sid. I don't really know what you're supposed to write on these things! Tony said I should use it for 'therapeutic discourse' ...he said if I confess(?) publicly to what's on my mind I'll gain vast happiness, so here goes:

I'm allergic to girls' toiletries - perfume, deodorant, tampons, the lot - it's lucky I'm not a girl! Sometimes, I'm envious of animals.

I can't climb trees because I'm afraid that seagulls will peck me.

I've never been to a football match

Twice I've made up a new word - like 'prang' - then a year later everyone's saying it and no-one believes me when I claim it.

I don't know how to whistle but I can make a 'crow' noise which usually does the trick.

The issue number on my debit card has now exceeded the big 20.

I don't understand what a 'gift horse' is.

My hamster constantly makes me feel bad that I used to feed frozen mice to my Venus Fly Trap (now dead) - I think he sees it as a fundamental waste of mouse.

I'm not sure if my Ozzy Osbourne impressions are good or if my friends are just being nice.

I don't like 'trendy' food - pesto, seeds, cake made out of carrots - it's just showing off.

I don't believe in God but I do believe in love at first sight

Yesterday I exceeded the recommended daily allowance for fizzy caffeine.

I'M NO LONGER A VIRGIN!!

IDEAL WOMAN: Cassie Cassie Cassie Cassie Cassie Cassie Cassie

FAVOURITE FILM: Napoleon Dynamite, Get Rich or Die Tryin', Splash! (Eighties mermaid classic).

I'm having even more difficulty getting out of bed these days. It just seems to be harder and harder. I used to have this alarm clock, got it for my 11th birthday. Crap present, but it worked. It was so simple; I would press snooze, it would wait for a bit and go off again and eventually I’d get up. After a while I sort of wore down the snooze button and it would wait ages between going off. It sort of learnt me.

By the time I was 16 we had this Jedi understanding; I only set it every couple of weeks, when I had an essay or something to do in the morning. It'd go off and I’d press snooze and then, like half an hour later, it would go off again and I'd press snooze again and, before I knew it, it was lunchtime and I’d missed Psychology so I didn’t even have to give an excuse for not doing the work. Perfect.

But now I don't need to set it, it won’t stop going off. Every five minutes. I keep pressing the button but it just won’t stop. Hang on a minute...

I just threw it at the wall and now I think it's died. It was mine for pretty much longer than anything else I have, and now it's gone, I don't think I can sleep.

And I don't know what fucking time it is.
