Tuesday 10 August 1999

Another day and hey where's the dime gone to? Not much to report on really. Don't want to bore you with the mundane tasks of life. Like how my mum and I put together and stapled 20 books of song lyrics which I'd typed out and she'd photocopied for the party. Or like how my reading capcity is terrible and I can only read around 5 pages a day. I used to envy Andrew Abbey for that - he would read anything he could get his hands on and he could read quickly and wouldn't put it down until he finished it. He was the only person who read all of our Readers Digests and half the books we owned. I did try to compete, but after reading the funny bits - like snippets of people's embarasing lives in Reader's Digest (I particularly remember the one where a woman was looking out of the window of a coach and pointing out the bunny rabits, then she realised she didn't have her children with her), nothing else really appealed to me.

When you get older, most of your life is taken up with mundane tasks, actually most of my childhood was too. I remember when we had to write diaries for school, mine consisted of waking up, brushing my teeth, having breakfast, going to school and explaining each lesson I had, I might stick in the odd, "which was really boring/exciting" and then "we had fish for luch which I really hate" but that was about it. My diaries improved a bit once I started having crushes on guys, saying how much I really really loved them and how I would never fancy anyone else as much as I did him and wondering if I could ever get them to fancy me too. I think I've come full circle again, because once you've found someone, the chase is kind of over, well, you find other things to chase him on, but you don't have to go on and on about how gorgeous he is or how the way he runs his fingers through his hair really turns you on, or how his hand brushed against yours while you were sitting in the car. It's better in a lot of ways not to have to be chasing after guys. I mean, I don't have to wear those outrageously short skirs when I go out clubbing nowadays and I don't have to sit waiting by the phone for a DJ called John to call me. I'm glad I'm out of all that. However, only seeing your boyfriend on the weekend (although it has it's advantages) means you have to wait till Monday for the gossip!

It's the eclipse tomorrow, so bizzare things may be afoot. Let you know once we come back into the light.
