XXXI.

I wrote this a few months ago, it was supposed to be XXVI.  I should make a blog post that describes me, but probably not.  I read books so rarely, and when I do I only manage through a few pages before I move on, but I put hours out of my week to watch old episodes of Friends, or films with George Clooney in them.  I drink coffee now and then, well yeah now, and I spend — what's the term in About a Boy, units? — I spend at least a unit, probably more, looking through Tumblr, searching French proverbs on Google, and generally doing nothing for myself, productively.

only the V's of my pizza remain.  it was rocket and salami and mozzarella and I didn't make it and that makes me quite sad.  I know how to make a pizza base, and all the ingredients are so cheap, and I would feel much better if I made what I ate.  oh well.

let's watch Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain! (with subtitles on because I can't understand spoken French!)

my fingers and the moon may be inter-linked at some level, but it's more efficient to be able to tell them apart.  that's a new coffee from Costa, called a Cortado.  it's good.

okay, I just tried very hard to make this blog look presentable.  I'm going to try to update it more often, and with things that actually matter, it's just, not many things happen to me that actually matter.  so I might have to bring my expectations down a little bit.  some film recommendations, and some music things, those can work.  I could do something.  I don't know, I just know I would like to use this more.

Moving out tomorrow, I think it's going to be good.  A new place and a new outlook, going to try a little harder, I think. Be productive, but try not to lose sight of who I am, a happy-go-lucky scamp.

And also I'm going back to university soon, so maybe I'll have better things to talk about.

XXIV.

For the first time in a long time I find myself in bed with a book. And what better way to get back into nighttime reading than to lend my mind and emotion to one of the purest examples of a word-perfect genius available; F. Scott Fitzgerald.
//
I am reading The Beautiful and Damned. Because now I think I am old enough and have experienced enough (though little) to relate (though I am not beautiful).
//
This is a passage from the first page, talking of Anthony Patch:
//
"As you first meet him he wonders frequently whether he is not without honour and slightly mad, a shameful and obscene thinness glistening on the surface of the world like oil on a clean pond, these occasions being varied, of course, with those in which he thinks himself rather an exceptional young man, thoroughly sophisticated, well adjusted to his environment, and somewhat more significant than anyone else he knows."

Going back to university in a month and my mum's decided to move house so am helping her with that and it's stressful and strenuous and I hadn't realised how QUITE how unfit and useless my body is until then, so that was nice. Time to start working out again. And I can't work out how to pay my Vodafone bill and I'm not sleeping very well and this is the most interesting post I've ever done. Just thought I should update Blogger, turns out I shouldn't have...

Up to twenty two, now.  We're moving house, and though I'm not doing much of the work, it is erratically exhausting and thrilling. We are stripping wallpaper and ripping up carpets, throwing away garden bags and dismantling furniture. I feel weaker every day, I wish this wasn't happening during one of my body crises. xx

Been watching the Olympics. They're good. I want to fence and have an athlete's body and win gold and show the world how grateful I am by crying and falling to my knees. xx

my Tumblr is now galua.  it's a nonsense word, but looks and sounds quite nice, I recently changed the style of it again so that it's now a film-photo or fake-film-photo -type deal.  I'm also ill, threw up a few times yesterday or the night before, not sure, but managed to get to lecture this morning.  I'm sure you want to know about my sickness...  but my sickness did mean that I missed my C&M lecture, which is mostly why I don't know how the module is...

that's a drawing that I did in Photoshop of Olivia, my best and most lovely friend, with a photo of some trees behind it, because I want to put a picture in this post, but I'm at a loss of what to put in there, so this is it.  I've also been watching copious amounts of Jake and Amir.  so much so that I am watching every single episode from start to finish for the second time at the moment. xx
