I am here for Friends

About Me

I left but now I am back. Too much time. Not enough. Looking for a new plan; suggestions and rescues are welcome.

My Interests

writing, reading. blue-gold outside, and the crops wallchart. headphones on the bus and just the song you wanted. gin. peppermint or other tea. dresses. laughing, quoting, quoting to someone new and them quoting straight back. skins (sob!). the smell of freesias and other flowers. talking good words to strangers. thinking everything's ok. duvet in the morning. hugs. having finally washed my jumper and its smell and new feel of sleeves. pencils, pencil sharpeners, crayons. cutting, sticking, colouring. essays coming together like jigsaws, jigsaws coming together like essays. sitting outside the meeting house in the sun, caramel freddoes and reading a little but talking more. raincoat. telling stories from right inside.

I'd like to meet:

Suggesters and rescuers.

Television:

None of that, thanks. The aerial fell off the wall. Maybe on a hungover Sunday morning that's a shame. Otherwise, no.

Books:

Book club, soon. Just discovered Charlie and Lola. Also well into that frog and that toad. Not so much into the ant and the bee with a passion for the alphabet.Adaptations of Dostoyevsky, also, are not all they're cracked up to be.

Pop 'em all in. Tastes like wine with vegetables in. Hmmm. Note to self: work on the bottle-of-wine-wrist-tilt. Well, I like wine, I like vegetables. Let's just wait and see....

disclaimer re: that glimmer of hope (fading fast)

I'm not going to do that. Oh no, not I. So if you're my tutor, don't worry.   (Do you think they really read these things? I read it somewhere. And Dr. Jim said it, so it must be true. Yes?)...

Sometimes my wrists smell of perfume, sometimes my hands smell of pencil sharpenings. I can no longer tell the difference. But all is not lost. My financial situation'll be much improved if this persi...

"fragmentary"

How many words (3+ letters) can you make from those eleven letters in the order they come in? I got eighteen or something. It's practically working if it involves staring at a book......
