all the words i had escaped

she's gone....
part of me didn't want her to come at all.
Didn't want the hassle, the constant explanations, trying to find small enough simple enough words for her to understand what we're talking about.
Having to be doing things all the time, to show her this city that I love so much...

But now...

now all of me wishes she didn't have to leave.

She is such a beautiful person, such a great sense of humor and a beautiful smile.
And great english too.

i find it more than a little interesting that we are sitting here in the library pouring out our brains, leaking the bits of our hearts we're sick of carrying onto the world wide web. dripping it away with tap-tap-tap of a keyboard.
drip-drip-drip
get it out, get it rid of, as much as you can so you don't have to carry it.
But sometimes you just spill it on yourself, or others spill it on you, scalding hot pain.

here we are, pretending we've got a private place in a public space.
well, two public spaces actually.

and yet, its privacy enough.
because although everyone can hear the drip-drip-drip, tap-tap-tap...

no-one can see what the drips spell out, no-one can pour it back onto us until we let them

I'm forgetting everything faster than I can remember what I'm missing

I'm very sore...
My legs hurt, the muscles just higher than my knees.
Stairs are todays enemy I think.

And sleepiness.


How do you explain a shower to someone with only very basic english?
Someone who you is a total stranger, but going to be living in your house for the next week.
Exchange students are funny...
My sister tells me I have the honor of teaching her how to use the shower since she did it the last two times. Could be awkward, could be weird.

and then VELCRO DAY!
Well actually, today is already velcro day, but still.

As long as I don't have to work tonight, today could go well...
Anthony better reply to my message.
Or he will die.

I had a very exciting thought this morning, that as I got out of bed (well, dragged myself out of bed) she is on a plane, flying here, totally excited.
And I was whinging about cleaning.
I guess for us its our 4th time having an exchange student from japan or korea, so we've kind of been there done that.
For me it basically means I have to clean a lot, which is crap.

But thinking about that, her excitement and the fact that she is actually flying here from japan!
It's kind of mad, hard not to be excited
