Baby, I need your loving... got to have all your loving...

I listened to my Motown collection last night, and again this morning. I listened to the 4Tops, the Supremes, Smoky, all of them, while I ate my toast with fried eggs. This was after another kilometre swim in the pool. When I woke up, the sun was out. When I came out of the pool, it had disappeared. I have had a headache since last friday. I'm taking drugs everyday and I'm wondering: do I need a new prescription for my eyesight?

Kevin and I have lunch together. We meet outside my building, walk through Covent Garden, buy sandwiches and drinks at Tesco, then find a bench in Saint Paul's courtyard. Sometimes the church bell rings at 1 o'clock and sometimes, like today, it doesn't. We always find a free bench, regardless of sun or grim weather. Most people like to sit on the grass. We eat and we kick the pigeons away. We try not to complain too much about our work. We observe the bums pissing in the corners, drinking and being rowdy. Many people sit by themselves, unsuited for their suits. A lot of them speak into their mobile phones, or smoke cigarettes while staring at nothing. We watch each other, when we sit and when we move. Our body consciousness wavers and falters depending on who is watching us. It was in this courtyard that I sat on a chewing gum a week ago. Now I always watch where I'm sitting down. I (h)ate gum-chewers.

The plan is to go to the movies tomorrow. Possibly that disaster movie about climate changes. Tonight, we settle in for Big Brother's fake eviction. Because we don't have colisseums, or Christians thrown to the lions, we must do with Big Brother. Cruelty appeases something inside us.

Haha, one of my favorite pass times is chewing gum. Your lunch hour sounds so peaceful...I wish Zal and I had time to spend with eachother like that.

Kevin and I spend a lot of time together because we don't have many friends here. It's nice to have lunch with him. I don't like having it on my own.

Zal & I have no friends here either yet we don't spend time like that...or so it seems. The way you describe the lunch it sounds like it's more intimate than most. Are you and Kevin very alike?

[identity profile] commonpeople.livejournal.com 2004-06-11 08:20 am (UTC)(link)
yup... almost too alike.

i dont watch television any more i just watch films. i feel very peaceful.

Now when i go to see someone and the tv is on it seems quite intrusive.

I'm trying to restrict my tv consumption... I'm writing and writing and Sylan is in my thoughts daily.

And I drink a lot of water!

Yes, I love that! That's great writing, you really capture the now of your day.

I just tried to be honest and tell you exactly how it is... I'm glad you liked it.

what does Kevin do for work? he alwasy seems to be able to spend time with you, lucky man.

[identity profile] commonpeople.livejournal.com 2004-06-14 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
He does the same as me -> admin assistant at a university. I'm lucky that he works nearby.

[identity profile] peraventure.livejournal.com 2004-06-14 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
oh yeah! that's really cool.

[identity profile] commonpeople.livejournal.com 2004-06-14 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
How are you doing? You've been a bit mysterious lately...

:)

[identity profile] peraventure.livejournal.com 2004-06-14 07:06 am (UTC)(link)
I've been really upset about several different things lately, partly worried that I'm not right for school, party worried that I won't physically be able to handle the workload once I graduate, partly worried that I"ll never actually pay off my student loans.

*sigh* Just a lot of worries about the future and when life will ever stop sucking most of the time. I'm happy sometimes, though...

[identity profile] commonpeople.livejournal.com 2004-06-14 07:11 am (UTC)(link)
i read your post... i'm sorry about your worries. I think you are a great person so I know you'll break through all of this.

[identity profile] peraventure.livejournal.com 2004-06-14 10:57 am (UTC)(link)
thank you! Yeah, I know I will too, I'm just a worrier. Especially when PMSing. bleh...
