Wilde is on my side (13955)

01:08 AM - Friday Mourning?
[ ]
And so, on this beautiful crisp Friday morning I was to be found, at 8:59am, hunched over my computer, with a phone clutched in each clammy trembling hand.

I had planned for this moment with military precision: one of the most important events of the year (of a lifetime!) for a Morrissey fan, and I was ready...waiting for the second my clock flicked over to 9:00am.

Last night, I set my clock by the reliable (I hoped) time on teletext, stored two Moz ticket numbers in both my home and mobile phones, and set three ticket websites in my internet favourites folder...one click away.

And...we're off!

I decide to begin the onslaught by phone. I had planned to use both phone and net, but have made a grave mistake in forgetting that I only have two hands.

Dial...and redial...and redial...oh God, help me now!

And so, ten minutes have passed as I frantically fumble around with two phones, trying (not very successfully) to listen to both at the same time.

I despair. My breakfast lies cold on the side.

I decide to move to plan B. The internet. Click....click...type in a few details...and...Oh. I'm there!

Surely not? But...yes. I am seeing My Man. MY MAN.

I ring my mum to tell her the good news. I inform her that I am so happy I would like to swear very loudly. She drily tells me to hang up first.

I hang up:

I cast aside my dressing gown and run up and down the hall in my bra, knickers and slippers with my arms held aloft. I scream:

'MOTHERFUCKING YEEEEEEEEES!'

'I LOVE YOU MORRISSEEEEEEEEEY!'

Then I do a twirly dance, singing:

'I'm going to see
Morrissey
My baby'

Then I play some Moz favourites in a room-tremblingly loud fashion:

The loop
The last of the famous international playboys
No one can hold a candle to you
How could anybody possibly know how I feel?
Alsatian cousin

Eighty-five bloody quid this is costing me. Morrissey, you'd better put on a grand show (or at least turn up), this is ruining my excellent recent saving behaviour.

I have printed my ticket confirmation page three times. Just in case. I might frame one.

      How very lucky we are!

      Your celebratory anthems sound wholly appropriate to me Wildey....I celebrated in similar fashion myself....YOUR ARSENAL....very loudly....and danced around my kitchen in a state of euphoria....MARVELLOUS!

      Have a wonderful time poppet!

      Love Alma xxx

        I take it Morrissey is throwing in dinner for two and some fellatio at that price?

          Ooh, so jealous!

          How's you, by the way? Other than the Morrissey-induced euphoria, I mean :)

          Off-topic, I know, but have you been watching QI? Alan Davies' ringlets are beautiful!

          Love,

          You know you always make me turn up when talk of dancing around in your underwear arises. I'm sad to hear you're loving someone, but happy for you, I guess.

          P.S. I'm trying to be more involved in politics and nationalism or whatever.
