The answer to life, the Universe and everything doesn’t help when you want it all “figured out”. That is what I want. I want it all figured out. I am tired of looking for answers, I cannot make any more pro-con lists, I am unable to weigh my options or not balance ‘em lists. I want you to please tell me what next? What am I supposed to do next. Please, let me know. Oh and please make sure that I end up smiling and laughing, baking and stir-frying, mixing cocktails and making preserves right at home, reading and writing lots and lots of stories, in the hills and next to the beach, with enough DVDs to last me a lifetime, with enough time to watch re-runs, surrounded by all of you, in warm happy sunlight and nostalgic outpourings of the rains. Please do.
Please.
The dark grey skies are deceptive, I’ve been waiting all day for it to pour, for them clouds to split open and rain down on us. The sun has been hiding and the weather has been “nice” and “beautiful” and “gorgeous”. It is as cloudy as my brain and as depressing as grey can be if not teamed with something that makes you smile.
He was wearing a grey suit and had teamed it with a white shirt and silver and blue tie. That is how grey should be. He was in white and black, but the white had navy stripes and the tie, oh the tie was just perfect with deep blue, navy blue, silver and black diagonal stripes. Very few men wear the right ties. Very few days are cloudy and perfect.
The weather here seems to be reflecting your thought process. Stuffy and oppressive. Smoke after smoke, grey billowing in this room doesn’t help. It’s oily, it’s depressing and I cannot breathe freely. Circles, vicious, vicious circles make you dizzy. There is no air to breathe, there is no breeze, no wind. This room needs large french windows, for everyone’s survival.
The green, the blue, the white and black pale in comparison to the red. The red screams life and love and passion. Where is my red? Where is my red? The purple water bottles are old, the new ones are clear with pink caps. Pink annoys me, and it’s all your fault? You made me roll my eyes at pink. You and your hair flipping and pink lip glossing and pink accessorising.
I am tired. Oh so tired of this grey. So sick of this pink. So confused and so dizzy. Rain, for I need it to wash away everything. Purge this city of its sins. Rain and pour and storm all over this dead stifling city for it needs you. Needs you to stop posing for amateur photographers and horrid skyscapes. Just wash away this, this grey!

I want a well-done steak with lots of pepper sauce, lots of fries and mashed-potatoes(!) and to wash it all down, I demand a JD with three cubes of ice. This should be followed by pure-unadulterated-honest-to-God chocolate. Then I wish to continue consuming JD. I wish to eventually achieve a bourbon-induced-stupor with a big happy smile on my face. Go figure!

Soft… so soft… my little bubble of a world
Soft… so very soft… my pillows and my quilt
All I need is some sleep to get away from it all…
Sleep in the warmth of my blue quilt
I’ll drift away while resting in your cotton embrace
Whisper ‘em fairy stories in my ear…
Kiss my pretty head and run your hands through my hair…
Run your soft hands through my hair…
Sing me a lullaby from times long forgotten…
Hold me for I need you to…
Let the lavender fabric softener comfort me…
Let it wash over me… the smell of you and me…
All I need is some sleep and some time away from it all…
All I need is to quit for a little while…
Take me in and let me rest a while…
Soft… so soft… my little bubble of a world
Soft… so very soft… away from the harsh reality of it all.
Oooh! I want!
We are such materialists; thriving in this consumer-driven madness; loving every minute and marketing it all. So here is are my wants -
The coffee obsession should be welcomed. The awesome coffee making ability, more of a talent, should be honed to perfection. Sirop should rule the world of coffee and to help her, she asks her or her, or (if she is in a remarkably generous mood) her help.
Queens need to be pretty-fied. So, maybe some day if I decide to make an effort and actually, finally style my hair. This would come in handy.
The other insane want is simply the Norton Anthology of Literature. Bleh. I am such a geek sometimes!
