the roof

"because i licked the windows"

i met with my oldest friend last week for the first time in nine years; we clicked so loudly the whole of nandos heard.

i can't believe i'll soon be leaving this wonderful city.

yesterday i threw up blood

but only because i had a nosebleed (lame, i know). strangely, it was a childhood habit i'd grown out of years ago; it was like it needed to give me one, horrid push into adulthood, like some sort of bloody initiation. i liked the patterns of blood on my hands. this is why i would make a good doctor (contrary to others' belief): i am good with blood. BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD.

eighteen and in quarantine

swine flu was funny for about a day. all the puns were really gross and well farm animal: really not my scene. and now, after all the sweats and late night fevers, i am eighteen and not outside beginning my (numerical) adulthood, more, inside: beginning a blog.
well hello little blog.

last year my birthday was pretty much perfect. i was in paris, living with two "actresses" (they demanded so much of me, they really did, all those accents, all that mime) in an art restorer's incredible book-filled appartment. and i got to draw and eat food that other people had paid for. it was fantastic. and in a few short days i'll be out in france with them, and we'll be begging it all over again.
