"I been away a long time." — Ken Kesey

Little Bee

Today was a good day in many ways. I didn't have to work so I spent my day off with my sister. We went to the mall and I bought things for school. Clothes, mostly.

We ate cinnamon scones from Cob's bread and had very good Chai Tea lattes.

'Nice' clothes aren't a big deal to most people. I don't care about name brands at all, but I do like things that are 'me' and 'nice' because they bring me comfort. It will be important for me to feel comfortable while away at school. I'm a home-y girl and a family girl so while I'm not at home or near my family, I'd like to wear things that make me feel good, you know? So I bought green knit tights, a jumper-dress, cozy pink pants, a pyjama set with rosettes on them, (more) cute socks, some shirts, etc. They didn't cost alot of money (I shopped at Old Navy, H&M, America Eagle, etc.). I have expensive taste. I long for the clothes I see in magazines but for now $19 jeans are good for me.

Then we came home and biked to my grandmother's house where we helped them make sauce. (They are very Italian and very funny and loving people). I wasn't much help—I just ate grapes from their garden and took pictures of flowers.

I came home to realise that my res didn't get the payment I made and now it's the weekend so the offices are all closed and I can't do anything about it. I'll get it all figured out but it's all just frustrating.

I'm getting anxious. I get anxious when night comes. Like Sylvia. Anxious about all the things I have to do (or didn't do today). And I begin to feel guilty about the things I did today instead of doing the things I was supposed to do... I don't know if you guys watch Grey's Anatomy, but if you do, do you remember the episode (it was, like, the fourth or fifth) where Meredith, at the beginning in her 'background commentary' thing, explained why we 'put things off'?

Well, if you don't, or if you've never seen the show, this is what she said: She said that the reason we put things off is because we're scared.

I know I shouldn't be basing my life off something I saw on TV or in the movies, but I am and I have been doing it my whole life. I think she's right. I've lots of things I have to do before I go to school. Part of the reason I haven't done these things is because I'm lazy. The rest is because everyday it is getting closer and it means that it's real and doing things to get ready for school are making it feel real and right now I don't want it to be real because I'm scared.

I'm also scared I am going to get really fat because I can't help myself with food and I am also scared I will never 'fall in love' with another person. These things seem funny things to be afraid of. You may think I am joking. I am not. Notice how I put air quotes around the words fall in love like it is something fictional... something only crazy people believe in.

I'm sorry I'm professing my heart to the Internet (haha... the internet's spellcheck just made me put that it in capitals... is the word internet supposed to be capitalized? If not, apparently the internet thinks it is Jesus or something haha) but it's okay because #1, you don't have to read this and #2, I feel better already. I don't really have anyone to talk to right now.

Right now I'm reading Little Bee by Christ Cleave and it's alright. What are you reading right now?

I've also spent my night watching 80% of thatzak's videos on his YouTube page. I really like his humour.

Ingmar Bergman's Through a Glass Darkly (Såsom i en spegel)

Yesterday I spent 200 pounds at topshop.com. (I have a problem.) I bought a very Narcissa Malfoy-looking black winter coat, a faux fur hat that is almost the exact one my china doll from when I was 10 wore, red tights which reminded me of Anna Karina's in Une femme est une femme and other various items for me to wear at school.

Last year in April my sister's friend made her this cake for her birthday.





We ate it and drank coffee very early in the morning waiting for the Royal Wedding to begin and I don't remember anything tasting better. Maybe it was the excitement and all but that day was just one of those days that you have very sweet, good memories of and it was nice.
