just words

Once in a lecture at uni, i wrote down every single word i heard, from the lecturer to the people next to me - as fast as i could, i transcribed in order of hearing - what was being said around me. I wrote frantically in a green felt pen... the person next to me glanced over once or twice, nervous i think about my apparent possession.

In Highschool once, when we were supposed to be doing practice essays for exams, i copied an essay i had already written earlier... backwards. Words and sentences.

I find that when i am not exhausted and i am restless... i tend to lean towards oddities than i do frustration. The restlessness is just energy. I burn it doing strange things.

At dinner today we played a game. The boys weren't eating. They love it when i make voices. I played a witch in a musical, (we love our musicals here, but this is a secret only for our walls) Yes i do sing, haha hey Stella said i sing beautifully. Tivi often says 'Stop singing mum, you keep singing!' Haha only to you princess.

I sang them a made up story, About a princess named Tiviarnna Banana - in search of her prince, Prince Che who had been captured by a witch, and held until he finished his Meal. The spell was cast upon the Prince and his brother Jace, His loyal henchman Kynan. They were cursed, to eat and eat and never see an empty bowl.

Hehe they defied my spell by shoving mouthfuls of rice and laughing hysterically at my wails of NOOOOOOoOOOOOOOOo!!!

Tivi, tired of waiting for her prince, finished with her own dinner- lept down to save the Prince. Only she, could break the spell.

She picked up the spoon and started feeding Che.

Haha... they watched me shriek and melt to the ground. The spell broken. The bowl empty.

We take our bows.

They take their baths.

Sometimes, i am restless... and the restlessness manifests in these odd ways.

At the end of the day, i'm not sure what it is i want, or have to say about anything...

These, They're just words.

Because i told myself to write.

It's an exercise in persistence not so much in sense :)
