I know I've been a tad quiet of late, but I've been hard at writing the next part of OHOP... since I've abandoned daily parts I decided to make each new part an entire day in Stevie's life... unfortunately she packs a lot in to her days - I'm 3000 words in and it's not even tea time!

The Who are still playing in the background which is where the title for this post comes. It is of course a line from their song 'I'm a boy' the tale of a boy named Bill (who's a headcase) who is feminised by his mother and three sisters. There's an interesting sleeve note on the song that says it was to be part of a sequence of songs based on a science fiction story Pete Townshend had written. There's definitely food for thought there, had the rest of the project not been abandoned, might 'Tommy' have been 'Bill'. Who knows what Ken Russell would have made of that!
