Who am I? I am DS Alex Drake. I am in my early 30’s although as I have time travelled back to 1981 I am actually around 6 earth years old...but I have the voluptuous body of an adult female who in real life actually resembles a Slitheen in human form. I am now middle aged and currently tarting it up in The Bodyguard but my mind cannot escape my time travelling days spent in the much beloved early 1980’s. I am hanging up my Anne Summers bargain basement thongs and nipple tassels and happily settling down to life in my much missed, much longed for 1980’s, surrounded by my imaginary constructs and running from my highly respected lawyer father who is dressed up in a David Bowie Ashes to Ashes Clown outfit...*flips through a scrapbook of newspaper clippings of Charles and Di’s wedding*...I had to make one of those for school.
I have been most misunderstood for all of my life although those who know me now and knew me then, now understand why I was the way I was and still am. I am a mass of contradictions, complications and obsessions. I am also a voracious hater of all things social media so why am I on here. Curiosity. I liked the one in the flat cap best. I am...
Anxious (I tend to stim at times)
Sensitive (YOU NEED A HEARING AID, MATE)
Peculiar (very)
Easily distressed or as my ‘mother’ Caroline Price said ‘easily distracted’
Real literal
Gifted creatively (hell yeah)
Extremely difficult to understand (abstruse)
Resistant to change (I’m sorry but curvy Cadbury’s Dairy Milk just doesn’t work for me)
Socially challenged (people are complicated, books are not)
I also have a fridge-freezer called ‘Carrie Fridger’ who like her namesake is bi-polar but in a different way.
“Put a little sun into your cup and wow, you’ve got Pop and Pop, light up your day come alive with Pop, it’s what, it’s Pop and Pop, well, put a little, put a little, put them together it’s Pop and Pop, so goodie Pop, Pop!”
...intermission “we’ll be right back, after we go to the bathroom.”...
...POP!
My name is Alex Drake. I’ve just been shot and that bullet has sent me back to 1981. I may be one second away from life or one second away from death. They say that as you die your life flashes before you, all those memories and mistakes that form us. Well bring it on, my life can flash away as much as it likes because I’m not going to die. I’m coming back to you Lolly...oops, slip of the finger I meant, Molly.
It’s a Riddle sang Nik Kershaw...*has a delusional moment when suddenly a vision of Zippy twanging his zipper along to music by Rod, Jane and Freddy interrupts my brainwaves*
I will probably post intermittently or perhaps never again, burn the sheets, lover, BURN HER!...This isn’t you, Ed. Get control of yourself. Take control, Ed...oops...*drinks some Bollinger*
Ok, I’m not quite all there. Perhaps Cyberax has got into my head. I’m sorry but there is something I have to do. BUGS, BUGS EVERYWHERE. In my spare moments I like to pretend I am Ros Henderson.
I’m simply complicated.
