Love + Compulsion... From as far back as I can remember, I had to learn to read! Once I started, I've never stopped. Now I'm writing two novels! Was Orang-utan Librarian reading over my shoulder?...
They’ll find the mistakes, compare it to what’s already on the fridge or that Picasso we saw on the field trip last year. Third grade is no excuse; third degree.
Don’t ask them how you look
They’ll find the bump in your pony, the hole in your sock which is already inside your shoe, which are too tight and have a scuff. They’ll see that too. You look tired. Did you even brush your teeth?
Don’t tell them you’re hungry or full
They’ll decide you’re too big, small, selfish, greedy, a bottomless pit, picky. Comparing your plate to everyone with more or less deserving than you, making it impossible to taste or swallow past the lump in your throat.
Don’t offer your opinion even when they ask

How about you? Do you write and/or receive handwritten mail?
Fellow blogger Nadya Irsalina inspires me to take it to a new level…
I’ve always been interested to send letters since I was a kid. The curiousity grew from seeing rubik sabahat pena (penpals) on Bobo, a kid’s magazine that my mother bought for me. But I had to wait until I was in junior high school to actually start sending letters. I don’t know about you but finding a new letter on the mailbox is like a nice little surprise for me. Nothing beats the thrill of opening the mailbox and finding a letter, written and addressed just for me. I still remember when my dad’s friend sent a postcard from LA and I was so excited to read it and removed the stamp. I used to collect it, even though I wasn’t really a philately.

In the afternoon
Unfortunately the weather was `shit´ and we played silly games in the living room. My former school friends – I already past school waiting for a place on university – put this crazy crown on me and I didn’t take part any more. Had some dark beer and watched them playing `school-games for kids´.
