a letter to the Velcro Federation (part ii)
you guys!
i just want to say... that i am happy today. happy like i haven't been in a long long time. i just had some meetings with my various tutors throughout the morning and i showed them my scheme. and they gave really helpful comments, and didn't shove stuff in my face and tell me that i was shit. so i'm pleased and glad and happy and excited and i just might go off and do some shopping today!
or maybe the drugs have just kicked in.
hah.
anyways... yesterday i did some shopping and guess what... i've decided to take up oil painting! i bought an easel, and some canvas, and paints, and brushes, and a water-mixable-fast-drying mixer thingy, and even a palette knife! (although i don't know what it's for and the only reason i bought it was cos i saw someone using it on TV and it looked quite cool. artsy-like) i forgot to buy a palette, though, so i need to get that today.
also, i bought some stuff for the apartment... a throw for the couch, new duvet cover and pillowcases to match the horrible green carpet, and cushions for the couch too! photos soon, promise!
my aunt's coming from Singapore to see me. actually she's in England for some kind of conference but she's coming to Liverpool on Thursday and i'm going with her to see some of her friends in Yorkshire, then we're heading to London to visit my grand-aunt. so it'll be a nice break and a look-see travel thing.
i'm high, you guys... high on lots of early-morning caffeine from my bitterly strong 7am cup of coffee, and last night's Prozac, and yesterday's therapy session, and this morning's encouraging comments.
and hey i might be going to Paris soon! there's a contemporary music centre that i want to check out there called IRCAM. it was designed by Renzo Piano, maybe some of you know it? i don't know what it looks like so i can't describe it to you. i hope i'll have enough money to go, i think i'll forgo my trip back home over Christmas and go to France instead. cos... Paris, baby! yeah! or... oui!
today i need to buy : slippers to patter around the kitchen with, cos the floor is this disgusting linoleum that looks greasy. it doesn't feel greasy, but it looks it, and my feet are just doubting the ungreasiness of it. plus i need to get plates and stuff, cos i only own one bowl at the moment - this microwavable Pyrex dish - and when my aunt comes to visit there'll be more than one person in the house and we shall therefore need more than one bowl unless we want to share said bowl, which we do not want to do. plus i need to get more forks and knives because i only own one fork and a teaspoon and a butterknife. plus i need to get a frying pan because how does one fry an egg without a pan to fry it in? and also a ... that plastic egg-flipper thingy. you know... what do you call it? spatula? i don't know. and i need to get a toaster. because i like toasted bread. and toasted pancakes. and toasted bagels. the only appliance i have right now is a kettle. and there's a square thing in the kitchen that looks like a microwave, but i'm not sure if it is a microwave, and i'm afraid to try it out and see. you know, in case it explodes.
bouncing off the walls, but not literally, but just word-ly, as in a rambly way,
n.

Shopping always makes you feel better! A little Prozac and coffee doesn't hurt, either.
