these are the things that a trumpet solo in a bright eyes song creates


today it feels like a real shame that other people have to see me
when i look into a mirror i am imagining my skeleton instead of all the flesh and other bits on top of myself
there's a heaviness that starts from just underneath my eyes and goes all over my limbs and right down to my horrible horrible feet
i'm imagining a lot of viscous black things, walking into the earth down tunnels to large pools of tar-like substances, miscellaneous coloured air swirling in an ominous way
actually i am lying on my bed staring at the ceiling leaning to one side wondering if i should go see if a flatmate is home, maybe if we get stoned together i will feel better. or if i go to the shop and buy wine... but i am in pyjamas.. why did i decide to stop smoking. i want to eat but i really don't
this day consisted of forgetting, mostly
i have developed the ability to sit and stare into nothing and just touch different parts of my face occasionally
i love how some people feel really entitled to depression
in the last ten minutes i have seen three different cats outside my bedroom window and forgotten about good posture approximately five times
one of the things that i am obsessed with touching on my face is my eyebrows, i am obsessed with their appearance and i generally feel terrible if they are not seen to every 2 days or so
i genuinely feel that there are no organs in me, that i am just an abcess who's somehow grown features
that my body is just flesh that has been moulded into a person over time, thanks to the encouragement of a few clothing items
actually i did not wear a bra until i was 15 or probably 16 even though i knew i was meant to
i asked mum for one through a note one day, to this day she has only ever bought me 1 bra
just trying to think of things to do instead of eating but i am vaguely hopeful that eating will elevate my mood or at least a cup of tea might
i feel spoiled like in the egg way not the other way

in absentia

Friends,

I must apologise sincerely for the lack of posts from Susan's side. You'll note that Stacey has diligently been posting here, while things are all silent on the Melbourne front. I attribute this to my crap internet (capped after 10gb, what is this!) and an unfortunate little thing called 'my final semester at university'.

Further, this weekend I am traveling to Newcastle for a little thing called 'This is Not Art' Festival. Though I recently made the decision to take my laptop (with the view to undertake some study) I feel as if an internet connection will be lacking and any reportage on this event will come via mobilus twitter. If you are, however, in Newcastle, please come find me at Staple Manor on Saturday and Sunday afternoons where I will be helping run a workshop and a panel with my lovely Voiceworks chums.

You must know that I love each of you in a special and individual way and that I am making myself late for my bus to the airport.

With that in mind, I bid you farewell.
