week 20; 2022
hello!
iām back in the country of LONDON, ENGLAND!
last Sunday night we went out all night for dinner, beer, cocktails and tequila. eventually i had to bribe a cop. thereās no use pointing fingers. itās the mature thing to do as the innocent person in the matter not to start directing blame around the place.
was looking at some pictures of myself. have you ever noticed i look like iām trying to sneak the worldās largest egg out of a museum? itās not just that iām fat, iām impossibly round. iām like dr robotnik. iāve always hated that needlemouse. people go to SegaWorld to say hi to Sonic, to shake hands with Sonic. what the fuck? all he wants is your Power Sneakers that make him fast enough to break the sound barrier and turn him blue. heāll try to get the Grey Emerald but fail and then youāll trip over holding a rotten egg, and chaos energy will spill all over you turning you into an evil egg doctor like jeff goldblum. heās like 30 years old, itās creepy. I simply donāt trust him.
Iāve been working from Mexico City and itās been fine. getting up at 5am and finishing work at 1pm. having breakfast about 7-8am and lunch with Jimena at 2pm. itās a pretty good schedule.
you ever use the powers of empathy and then youāre like āgeez louiseā?
cheemena is good, right? like brangelina?
We had such beautiful nights sitting on the floor and talking, and dancing to music in the bedroom. OK?
On Tuesday we spent a long time saying goodbye. Too long? Ā”Yes! I missed my flight! I went into the deep dark hole in an airport Chiliās but you know it turned out fine really. though it did eat a big chunk of my July budget.
Wednesday was a lovely day, really. A nice lunch and a good goodbye at a mall. The last thing she said to me was āsee yaā, which was a cute throwback to our first date all those years ago (about 7 weeks ago).
I unexpectedly switched off on Monday. Disconnected from myself. Far away inside. Not been feeling feelings. Some kind of defence mechanism? Havenāt enjoyed it. Except that one time when I was in the shower and i kneeled on the floor for 30-40 seconds and cried with 0 thoughts. Then got back up and finished showering. I enjoyed that. Anyway, the veil seems to be lifting now because I felt several hundred feelings today. Itās been tough as a big Feelings Haver, a true feelings-head like myself. Anyway, weāre back in action now.
Oh yeah I forgot. When I got back on Thursday night I went out with someone from work and had a drink and a good chat. It was good. Maybe had 1.5 too many drinks. think I was avoiding going home. i walked home singing The Paris Sistersā I Love How You Love Me at the top of my voice in the streets. Also played it (poorly) on the public piano in Lewisham train station.
On Friday I worked, and on Friday night we had a long video call and watched Derry Girls. trying to find the line between honest and gushy here. but honestly iām very gushy, i can barely shut up. i know it was more interesting before when with the blood and ketamine, but this is what ya got. here is an actual photograph of me: š„°
On Saturday i spent a lot of the day napping, and tidying. My sleep schedule is all ahoot, my apartment is fuckadoodle. Sunday was nappish too. Anyway.
If anyone wants to hang out, text me.
my doctor told me to run 5 miles every day for 2 weeks. I called him up, Ā āDoc! Iām 70 miles from my house!ā
