please forgive me if my hands are where my head should be

I stayed awake until seven in the morning reading my 2004 – 2006 diary. My life is a succession of destructive relationships and worrying about my face. I slept for five hours and dreamt of people I used to know better.

I wanted to apply for a job so I found an advertisement. The description said “Writer. Online Reviews. 350 a week”. I asked for more details. They said it was to review porn websites. I applied anyway.

I made a lemon sponge cake and took four photographs with my film SLR camera. I feel inspired in a sleepy, distant way. I feel like I have thirty-five poems inside of me. I want to drink coffee with a stranger and sit in a canoe.

I am looking for someone who will love me even though I have a sunburnt nose.

    I like your blog too. I often stay up till obscene hours re-reading my old diaries, and like you, I find the same themes repeating themselves.

    "I am looking for someone who will love me even though I have a sunburnt nose."

    I don't think that's asking too much.
