About me
Girl, 18, 18,805 kilometeres from home.
obsessive about tetris, spider solitaire, lists, collecting things, putting pens in the right order in their packets.
likes to jump on crispy leaves, eat elaborate desserts with multiple toppings, make daquiris, learn guitar, write letters and lists and walk about cities alone.
dislikes bum bruises, doors that are stiff or blow open in the wind, coffee that tastes like tea.
can’t wait to see a squirrel.

Laura i had NO IDEA!!!!It really just doesn’t fit with the daughter I thought I knew. I have seen a squirrel, several actually, they are very cute.

Yeah, am a bit of a geek Mum, try to downplay it at home but it comes out and gets all scary every now and then. You MUST’VE noticed.. people comment on geeky things i do when i’m not even aware of it
I just accept it and move on. Don’t you remember the obsessive beading? the immaculate sticker collection? The solving codes in the Artemis Fowl books, and how my only celebrity crush as a kid was harry potter? it was sad, very very sad.

‘The Visit’
You approach the world
with open arms and hope
it wants you. Hope to be
asked in to sit amongst the
fine furniture. The world is
busy and polite and believes
in independence. You want
to make friends, be
boisterous. You’d expected
something a little more
gregarious but you’ll
take a photo anyway to show
your friends. Here it is.
Here’s the world on a good
day, turned slightly
away, but this is no
offence, merely the sun was
in its eyes and it turned
briefly to avoid being
blinded by it.
