Also, wow, your mum is dedicated. Boobs do grow during our periods though. How convenient to have a bra for just then.

Dude. Go and get your boobs sorted. They need a proper prison to live in. Just roomy enough for them to think they can get away, yet tight enough to contain them. Get fitted and then go crazy getting cool stuff. Consider bravissimo. They are seriously well trained to find you the proper size, more so than Selfridges I find and they’re just around the corner from where you work. They also stock some nice stuff. Go there. Go on Monday. Honestly, I’m alright with bras. Seriously. I’m sensible. Though at some point I’ll need a bikini (and should probably get two to have a change though that’s just extravagant.) But if you start asking what you should send you will soon regret it. Well, alright since you ask. Chocolate (the Rococo sea salt one) and some hard to get books (unavailable online), and comic books. But I really don’t need anything. Though you could definitely send to the school some chocolate and Grant Morrisson’s New X-Men and I wouldn’t complain. xxx

I desperately need to go bra shopping. My mother like is a stickler for the correct bra size at all times. Afou she bought me one to wear for before my period only! But i agree – you can now tell through my clothes that my foundations are not what they should be. In general though i need to up the underwear game – if only to change how i feel. And true – you have now fixed yourself a coupld of bras but maybe you should send s your size and we could post you a few things. It is Christmas soon and also i think things will reach you easier this time as you live in a more metropolitan area. Maybe we could send it to the school? Now i want to shop. Lots of love, hugs and kisses!

Thanks. I’ve been feeling better the last few days and been watching myself to see if this is just a peak rather than a trend. But I’m hormonally balanced (i.e. the effects of the huge hormone injection thanks the morning after pill have worn off) and my mood has lifted. Perhaps, part of it had to do with acceptance, in that once I acknowledged to myself I was scared and recognised depression as a possibility, I started feeling better. I have a very hard time letting go of books by the way. But more to the point, although depression usually passes, I’d much rather not get depressed to begin with. I’m far away from home, and though I’m friendly with people I have no friends. Ergo, no immediate support system, which makes me more vulnerable. So I need to be alert and cogniscant of my mental and bodily states (which I need to be anyway). Perhaps then, if I’m able to recognise and be aware of how I’m feeling (e.g. agitated, scared, lonely, whatever) my Self won’t need to keep hammering the same things over and over to me in increasing intensity until I get it. I suspect this is what happened last time, when I was deeply unhappy with what I was doing but so detached from my actual feelings that my whole body and self had to resort to violence — depression — to get the point across… Enough ramblings, thanks for the wishes. : )

Dont be scared.
Think of it as if you are a car driving down a road that has lamp posts that shine a light on the road. Sometimes you are in a pool of light and sometimes you are in darkness. So be it.
Just let go and be. Sleep. Be gentle on yourself. So you are sad or blue or depressed – it wont be that way forever.
Perhaps the more you push against it that harder it will be. Accept it. Then let it go.
To let go use the same technique / skill / aptitude you have to let go of a pencil or a book or a fork or a brush. Let it go.
And you are never far away. You are always right here beside me as i am with you.
Everything will be ok. I promise.
Love.

a) It’s definitely about power. I usually use “control” when I’m thinking about this in my mind but it’s the same shit. But I’m not exempt from the game. I want to maintain control by making the other satisfied that they’ve maintained/were given control. I wish I could say that telling my dad about my plans was done in the interest of transparency and communication but it wasn’t. Only to give an impression of the latter. Perhaps, we’ll fake it ’till we make it or just keep playing…

b) Maybe I’m not a capitalist in Marx’s sense of the word but I’m part of it. I buy more things than I need and waste more than I should. Maybe I should keep “yuppie” for those high power city workers that everyone loves to hate nowadays. (Still though, management and leadership? and to add a twist to the power game, I mentioned that to my dad as something that would look better on my CV, asking for his opinion.)

c) Thanks for the heads up. Will avoid, especially in my irritable reading state. It also seems that film has changed the way people write although Hamilton who I’m still reading (because procrastinating reading it a bit) doesn’t have that excuse. He just falls into this SF author trap of getting overly excited by his own minds and imagination and just going on and on about everything. pff

oh and just to add – now thinking about it, clearly it’ll make for a great movie plot. maybe that’s why she wrote it.

said the cynic.

a) it sounds like there’s a power game being played that you are anxious to avoid so you try to approach it with kindness or a sense of generosity (by giving part of yourself that you don’t really need to be giving) to pre-empt possible unpleasantness and to build trust – but will the other person respond on the same level as your approach or simply continue the power game? and i admit, power may not be the nicest word, maybe control (‘call the idea his own’ etc) would be better. Difficult to find a language of communication when they haven’t ever really learned one, no?

b) yuppie – i always thought of yuppies as really damn hard workers with a capitalistic bent. wondered if that was your internal definition of them too :-)

c) author’s cut – i just read the sarah water’s little stranger book (recently nominated for the Booker). I finally finished my Ford and Foerster books and thought I’d celebrate with some free reading of a widely touted haunted house novel. I was very excited. It starts well, though about a 6th of the way through I was thinking, hm, ok, haunted house part is taking a while to get to – but sadly the entire thing just drags and drags and drags. I mean the bloody title is the Little Stranger, so when you find out about the dead daughter in page 6 you already know who’s going to be doing the haunting right? One family member after another has a long drawn out collapse into madness or suicide while the doctor looks on empirically, disbelieving the parlormaid, the son, the mother, the daughter (soon to be his fiancee – and by soon, i mean 3/4 of the way through though it was obvious from the first) and is left bewildered! never knowing what really happened in the old house that lost its glamour after the War… (enter not-so-subtle socio-political commentary). E aisxos. kani. I skipped the last 40 pages and read the end. I am just so bloody disappointed. And upset with myself too, because, clearly all ghost stories should only be as long as Edgar Allen Poe made them, i.e. novella or short, and i should have known better.

impromptu book review over. :-)
