So, here are the posts from the past days. Nothing special, really, just some really normal posts. Rambling rambling rambling…
Nota per il caro CS25: si si, proprio ad un tiro di sasso. Ma essendo io sdotata di un qualsiasi mezzo di trasporto… Mi e’ difficile muovermi… Sigh.

This is so funny – I was just watching a random Italian program on TV and one of the guests was one of my junior high’s classmate’s brother… I knew him and he was such a funny guy, and it made a bit sad as I realized that I have no way of contacting that classmate (and I hated him anyway, *lol*) and I probably won’t see his brother ever again…
In other news. I am in Turin… I am not staying at my aunt’s because my parents are already sleeping there and I am not allowed to sleep on the couch (!!!), so I am staying at her friend’s house… Between yesterday and today I’ve been doing loaaaaads of things, mostly seeing exhibitions and shopping (yay! One new pair of shoes and one t-shirt, plus a really nice Indian jacket my aunt gave me). In general I would be really happy if it wasn’t for my parents.
I cannot stand to live with them anymore. Don’t get me wrong, they’re really nice people, but I just can’t live with them. I know I am being really mean by saying this, but they can be both hysterical and just… Annoying. My dad keeps telling stupid jokes nobody laughs about, my mum is just too hysterical and there is not one fucking thing in this world that is ok for her, she always has something to complain about. And then they argue all the time, and my dad says nobody respects him (because we tell him when he makes fucking mistakes when he speaks in Italian!! Or just because we disagree with him) and then my mum says just the wrong thing and everything is just crap for hours. And this is mean again, but I cannot stand when my dad touches me, he keeps caressing my shoulders and stuff like that, which I liked when I was a kid but now… Nope, I don’t like it. It’s mean because with my mum it’s different; I like to hold her hand or just be near her. I don’t know why it’s like that, there must be some deeper psychological reason but I really don’t care about finding out and I just don’t want him to keep touching me when I ask him not to!!! I think I am just getting nearer and nearer to my mum and feel less and less like, linked to my dad. I don’t know.
I just hope this week won’t be too horrible.
The good thing is, I have got plenty of new books and they all sound really exciting and I am really happy about that. It’s crazy how much I love bookshops. I swear I would buy at least two thirds of the books in any Italian or English bookshop. It would be so nice, to just go into these huuuuge bookshops and buy like… 50 books. Can you imagine? I know Jana would agree with me on this…

Today too, we’ve been all over the place!!! One exhibition (a guy who makes videos, mostly revolving around water), installed in a really nice building (an old factory, I think – it reminded me a lot of Barcelona) and a very small museum (the Agnelli’s one), which is in a small building made by Renzo Piano which is on the top of an old Fiat factory… Both quite nice (even if I am a bit shocked by the Agnelli’s thingy – they have a huge collection of paintings and such but the museum only had TWENTY paintings, mostly Canaletto and Matisse, with a couple of Picasso’s, two sculptures by Canova and a couple of other paintings… It’s ridiculous that they don’t have an exhibition they change every couple of months or something like that).
I even got a pair of new trousers (some really nice kakis, actually can you call them kakis if they are green?, well that kind of trousers with lots of pockets) and a really nice, big postcard (Matisse) to put on my wall in London. And I saw this gorgeous coat in my aunt’s collection (she produces clothes in India), that I am going to get in the winter. It’s Chinese style, not very long (just above the knee), and I am going to get the coffee one, with nice borders done with some really coloured silk; ok, I can’t explain it at all but it’s so nice… *lol*
What else? We’re going to our country house tomorrow… I will have to spend 5 hours in the back of a car with six suitcases and lots of plants. Sniff.

Here I am, in the countryside, being really bored and standing even less my parents when they have their strange ideas and they are so convinced that what THEY like and THEY think is good is what everybody should like and think is the best. But well.
I am reading a lot and can’t wait to go to Croatia and then to go back to London. I miss everybody so much, Sophie, James, Kirsty, Freddie, Tom, Kunal…! Seriously.
I am reading a book on Bhopal and it’s really interesting. I also just finished a book by a young Russian writer that I absolutely loved. It’s the same thing as Mian Mian but in a Russian version, and a bit more understandable. What else? I should study and I am not. I should be on a diet and I am not. But life is never perfect, and it’s ok like this.
