Light.

She blinked the sleep out of her eyes and looked at the clock. 3:32am. It wasn’t even light outside. She put her red pillow over her face. Took a deep breath. Coughed. And then grabbed her Bible and little blue sweater and stepped out of bed.

She couldn’t sleep.

She was getting sick again.

She went and sat on the edge of her sofa and fixed her messy hair in a room with no lights on. Then she struggled to read her Psalm for the day. #66. She liked it. And then she sat and watched The House of Commons live for an hour. She liked the Prime Minister’s accent the best. But the Conservative Party Leader’s was also killer. Maybe it was all British accents in general that she found flattering. She didn’t really know.

Her sister turned a light on in the kitchen. She walked into there, her curiousity piqued. The laminated floor was cold. It tickled her feet.

“What are you doing?” she asked.

Her sister looked up. She had a knitted cream coloured hat on and was holding a jar of peanut butter. “I was hungry.”

“You were hungry?”

“Yes.” And then she made herself a peanut butter and banana open face sandwich.

The girl laughed. And went back and layed down on the sofa and listened to some British men fight. She fell asleep at 5:22am.

I stand on chairs in Argyle Socks. Do you?

Sorry i’ve been so busy lately. It has been hectic with

CHRISTMAS

and all.

But now I have a spare minute while sitting here in the Sammy Jeans and a pair of dangling silver earrings.

•

The 25th was a sprucey day. It was filled with too much wrapping paper, lovely ribbon, burnt waffles in the morning, friends, homemade bread, little white lights, and argyle socks.

I thought it was just jolly. But that was mostly because I ended up with Martin Chuzzlewit in one hand, a typewriter in front of me, a locket round my neck, and a cup of WHITE CHRISTMAS tea in my other hand.

Life is good.

RAINBOOTS FOR ME.

O i love love love my life.

here is why:

•i went to SONIC for the first time.

•i had a lovely party.

•i learned to skip rocks (sort of).

•and i have rainboots.

yes, you read that right. i have rainboots. J.Crew rainboots. navy blue J.Crew rainboots with little dalmatians on them. i almost died when my Mumsie gave them to me. i had no idea. i wanted to sleep with them on that night (last night) but my feet got a little hot in them. just so everyone knows, yellow stoplight wishes do work. i say that and i do believe it. and just so everyone knows, i will one day sleep in my rainboots.

i did go to SONIC for the first time in e.v.e.r. in my life this week. the day before yesterday.

it was snazzy. i think talking into the little box and pushing the red button is superb. and the shakes are yummo. not to mention the Kung-fu fighting music they play.

our party was smashing. even though not all the guests showed up. we had pink lemonade. little seagull cut-outs hanging up. lights. lovely dresses. hats and neckties for the gentlemen. LIMBO. some dandy music. swing dancing. cake (we lost the candles…). penny wishes in the fountain. homemade ice-cream. BINGO (i lost everytime). i even got a dandy KEEN bag (i keep my notebooks in it), some Mmmmazing tea, and a little book. i felt special. funny thing, near the end, some skateboard kids showed up and wrote a song and sang it. the song was….ummm….funny. i guess. to me at least. when you’re being “serenaded” by 3 skateboarders at 10 o’clock at night, you have to laugh. life threw some lemons, but we had plenty of lemonade at our party. i thought it was superb.

i was taught to skip rocks today. 4 skips. that’s the most i got. the art of skipping rocks is hard to learn.

i’ll have to introduce you to my boots and my typewriter soon. but now i ought to go to bed.

love.
