That's where I'm going back to.

Like there's no skiing chat here.

By this point, because I started writing and also because I started smoking, I've been given the tiny box room as my own room to write and work in because all the money I'm earning is going to the family.

So I'm now the breadwinner in the family.

So I'm given the privilege of my own bedroom to the immense and understandable resentment of my siblings.

The smoking started the first editorial meeting I went to at the magazine that I started working at.

Yes, so I started working for the music press because you just send them some reviews.

If they're good, they'll print them.

And I still didn't know that much about modern music.

So I reviewed two songs that I'd heard on the radio and then the soundtrack to the movie Annie.

And I think they were so delighted by the fact that I was coming to work for the world's most rock and roll newspaper and was reviewing musical soundtracks.

So they were just like, all right, give her a job.

So I'm invited to an editorial meeting and I'm presuming that everyone there is going to be just like a cool rock star in leather and like it's going to be terrifying.

And I don't know anything about music.

So I'm going to have to be someone different when I walk in this room.

And so I'm just like, well, what would say grown up more than turning up with a packet of cigarettes and a bottle of whiskey at 11 o'clock in the morning?

How did that work out?

I just thump the bottle of vodka down on the table and light a cigarette.

I smoked my first ever cigarette and I'm like, oh, thank God.

Oh, you know what it's like when you're just dying for a cigarette and have to learn to smoke in front of everybody.
