'i tried to organize freedom' -bjork
that just about sums up the way i've been spending the months that have passed will probably spend and the months to come. ok, tuition-boy beckons! i need to brush my hair; i've been overshampoo-ing and blowdrying zealously and now it's dry at the top and damp beneath.
on another note, i'm a bit worried because i realised i am averse to holding hands in public, because i find it silly. a lot of things are beginning to unsettle me, either that or i am slowly beginning to discover things i've always been discomforted by. i think ten years in all-girls schools has made me associate hand-holding with merry washroom rituals, girly cliques, cloth lunch bags with checkered red and white lining, my daily habit of throwing away my yummy home-packed sandwiches and cookies behind the water fountain before rushing to play on rope swings with the henry park kids, grazing thighs and bruising knees during the process, racing at the sound of the bell towards the hall, lining up in pairs forming caterpillar trains which curved around pillars and teachers and other obstacles, voodoo jelly drinks, the libraries, baking sessions, science lab disasters, burnt fingers and blood-blisters... and good old navy blue pinafores, of course. good memories indeed, but they refuse to let me move on and away from being a child. it will take another ten years for me to flush the associations out of my system, and to hold hands without giggling. till then, oh, i don't know. i'll hold your fingers though, ohhh yes.
