God I wish I could afford to get to the sea.

D:

Slowly cooking myself to a crisp (properly suntan lotioned, of course) and reading Raymond Chandler. God, I love his prose, it's perfectly ridiculous, with the occasional passage that makes you think yes. God, yes, that's it exactly.

One I particularly liked today was:

His voice seemed to come to me from a long way off, over a hill, through a thick silent growth of trees.

Someone should take me to the beach and buy me an ice cream now, I think. I'd read to them in return, or tell them stories from my brain, or teach them about pirates, or build them a sandcastle. I'd be good at it, too.

It does worry me that you've essentially moved to the middle of landlockedia. AND NOW I WANT TO GO TO THE BEACH, YOU BITCH.

I don't think I'll stay here more than a year. I love my job and I want to do it well, but I'm going slowly mad without the sea and there is NO GAY SCENE HERE.

Tentative plan to cut all my hair off over the summer, bleach it, and dye it bright blue.

XD

Yeah, you need to live somewhere bigger/gayer/more sea..ier. MOVE TO BRIGHTON OR WORTHING OR SOMETHING.

EEE.

Also getting a couple of tattoos, one on each ankle. I'm not sure how I'm going to afford this, but I've applied (on a whim) to write for/help maintain a website, which i can do in addition to the current job and will provide extra monies.

Take it you think the hair is a good plan? Smaller and I were tentatively planning it this morning. What the hell else is the summer holidays for?

I approve of any and all extreme actions. Especially ink.

The ink has been a long time wanting. I'm not gonna be like my mother and wait until I'm 43. XD

I dunno, that's also pretty cool.

Oh, man, if I could! That sounds like the absolute perfect way to spend an afternoon.
