dreamers dreaming



there's so much work to be done: big work. the kind that takes years of careful, meticulous planning. collecting and stowing; fermenting and seeping; distilling, solidifying, purifying. repeat. fueled on books and kisses, guided by instinct and wise advice.

every day is a new question. answers flutter in the trees and roll in on the waves, sparkling on a windy day.

...and so 2010 begins!

itchy

raining lots here. don't think i'm eating enough vegetables. suddenly being self-conscious about how people perceive what i say -- think i'll just shut up. in the rain. what's next?

too long

will try not to beat myself up about that. but time flies when you're building a new life (finding new love?). petting the cat and watering my tomatoes, visiting the tate and trains to scotland. late-night beers and skinny-moon-dipping, pianos and philosophy, euros and pounds, kisses and hugs.

it's nuvaTime

national health. walk in, walk out with cheap prescriptions. every 18-year-old is given the hpv vaccine here, without the $350 fee you'd get back home. i know it's not all perfect for everyone all the time, but really. really. yes, the downside is no nuvaring. yet. so it's back to the machinations of the ever-particular pill. au revoir to the reassuring translucent infuser of infertility that seems to move up and down internally in parallel with your mood. au revoir to a culture that considers STDs a just deterrent against 'immoral promiscuity'.

so i'll definitely manage without, and manage sans hpv.
