I return when april breaks.

1. I thought first year of university was going to be like season one of Felicity. I was walking down Broadway after a particularly exhausting Contracts seminar when I realised this. One of the straps of my tote bag was broken, I was hurrying home so I could flick on the lamp switch and start in on my law assignment and my shoes needed to be re-

belated congrats on you attainment of your red ps.

i will envy your possession of a car and smile over your not so secret admirer. I might even laugh if it's Phil Thai's brother..

"N" tells me that you're sick, so get well soon.

[_fissures]

thank you.

it's not (thank god) phil's brother. it's some other year 12 philistine. he's not really a not-so-secret-admirer so much as (though i would wish otherwise) an outright creepy semi-stalker. he once spent an entire class gazing at me and telling the other students about my 'pretty face' despite the fact that i was clearly about vomit from sheer venom. he even wrote an ode to 'red-haired alice' for english homework which was so terrible i almost cried from his butchering of everything lyrical. thank god, red-haired alice no longer exists.

I'm much better now. I just hate this vacillitating weather.

"brown hair alice" now?

Black, black, black.
Blacker than my hair ever was, though I specifically asked 'pls return me to my natural colour' - admittedly, she only had my roots to go on, and hair at the roots is always darker, but before i washed it and it was all bouncy and curly from the blowdry, i looked like a combination of emo/goth/kwerpie doll. it probably didn't help that i was wearing a polka-dot dress and had a china doll fringe.

Always lovely to read your posts. I am fascinated by Miyuki (the person, not the car). I always imagine that default-coffee-choice changes indicate more than they do about one's situation.

I have nothing interesting to say.

Much love,

so much to catch up on - i keep leaving and inevitably coming back. I 'met' Miyuki through another online journal - her name caught my eye becuase I was writing a short story about a so-named character at the time. and i think i was enraptured from day one by her life, by its sheer visceral nature.

i always think that every change in default patterns signals something - because we are creatures of habit, and more so, of deep consciousness and our behaviour mere patterns forming on the surface, physical echoes of some greater change.

i love that you go by 'lia'. short, lovely and rolls of the tongue nicely. more particularly, assuming the interchangibility of i/y, i go by aly and our shortened names are mere a rearrangement of the other's. that was possibly a rather narcisstic observation.

[estrangler]

but what fantastic narcissism. should i bore of 'lia' i'd be pleased to swap syllables with you.

and i you.
