rhylltoday i went to a work party.
first time ever.
i am trying to be an adult, these days. i want to work out who my adult-self might be. because my post-adolescent-self was all fucked up, and too awkward and scared by the world. i don't want to be the person i am right now, though, with so much to do and so little time for many of the things that are important to me.
(i am trying to make someone's eyes shine, and trying to hang on to my wonder at the world.)
some things:
* at new edition bookshop the other night, i saw a book on tycho brahe. how odd. apparently, penny-arcade-guy was a danish philosopher. was this one of those things that everyone else already knew?
* just finished reading lost geographies, by charlotte bacon. i recommend it if you like your books full of small sadnesses and secrets.
* i'm very uncomfortable about my body right now. so fucking self-conscious. all my clothes feel wrong. not sure what's brought this on, not sure how to get rid of it again. irritating.
* i am reintroducing coffee to my life, because i need more hours. unhealthy, but necessary. fair trade arabica from oxfam - very nice.
i have some things to come to terms with. life is full of change, and it seems like there's always something new to handle. but it feels particularly so right now, and i've only just realised.
unexpected reevaluations.

on 2005-08-07 01:53 pm (UTC)I never know if I should over step boundaries and complement people on these sort of things, so please excuse this if it is entirely unwanted and entirely revolting: each time I've bumped into you, lately, I have though to myself, 'Gee, she's looking really good.' Especially when you had pigtails. Not everyone can pull pigtails off, so I tip my hat to you.
Also, I hope you make their eyes shine (I initially read it as a specific person, but I now see that that may be erroneous). I'd love to have someone wish that they could make my eyes shine. Even better if they actually succeed.

on 2005-08-09 01:54 pm (UTC)i cannot contain my delight. seriously. i was just thinking...fuck i wish i had more friends with livejournals, so that i had more updates to read. because the work day is long, and requires frequent internet-and-biscuit breaks.
kale is correct spelling, yes.
and i am looking forward to more of this 'hanging', as you crazy kids put it.
