Sam Peeps’ Diary

The last time I saw her, she was leaning out of her window and wailing at me. I told her that everything would be fine, and that I still believed in us.

She said that she didn’t know who I was, and begged me to leave.

I told her I knew that we’d grown apart over the last year as our lives had taken us to very different places, but that I was prepared to put in the work to save the relationship.

She said that she literally didn’t know who I was and threatened to call the police if I didn’t get off her balcony. I left quickly, dropping my balaclava into a nearby recycling bin.

I am starting to suspect the last blow to the head that I received may have been more serious than initially believed.

I found God again. In my dream, he was sitting underneath an empty market stall in Ladbroke Grove, trying to peel a pear with his fingernails. When I asked him what he was doing there he shrugged and said that it had seemed like a good idea at the time. For once, I believed him.

Spent the evening in Gordon’s squat, blowing up balloons and drawing Richard Dean Anderson’s face onto them. Gordon is going to send them to America to encourage them to make new episodes of Stargate.

I am excited because they are making a brand new series with all new characters, which is good because it gives more actors a chance to dip their quills into the thorough canvas that is Stargate, but I shouldn’t have mentioned this to Gordon. He is firmly convinced that only episodes with the original cast count and has even written his own versions of all the other episodes to better fit what he believes Stargate to be about. My real mistake was suggesting that the episode where General O’Neill has to seek the assistance of the Top Gear team couldn’t possibly fit into the continuity of the series as it has been well established that Teal’c is actually very good at driving.

Gordon got quite upset and started screaming and bursting the Richard Dean Anderson balloons. I made my escape through the window. Never discuss politics.

"Of course I’ll never regenerate into a woman," laughed the Doctor, raising his fist, "I fucking hate women!"

My astonishing gift of prophecy is slightly tainted by the fact that all my premonitions are a) about the plots of television programmes and b) untrue.

Dante is so full of shit. I was sitting on a bench on Tooting Bec Common, softly weeping, and a man claiming to be the greek poet Virgil urged me to follow him behind a hedge. He proceeded to try and entice me into joining an obvious pyramid scheme involving the sale of collapsible spoons.

The most poetic thing that has ever happened to me is when the woman I loved caught consumption from a moldy copy of Keats’ Hyperion. I know this isn’t actually possible, but that’s what makes it so poetic.

They say there are only two real routes to immortality, your children or your art. I’m going to have my children framed.
