Around Europe
Saturday, April 10, 2004
I forgot to say, I bought these shoes in Brussels, how cute are they? And they're womens shoes, lol. I think it's the first time in my life I buy a pair of womens trainers. I love them.
So, I'm in Turin. I've been in 5 different European cities in the last 3 weeks, and I've spent 20+ hours travelling as well. I'm kind of tired now, but it's cool. At least I've changed scenery all the time. I don't really feel like going to Tuscany because the weather here in Italy is absolutely shit... Yesterday it rained the WHOLE day - I swear I've never seen weather so bad in London! It's really unlucky, being in Italy in April with a weather that is more... December or so. Oh well. I'm sleeping at a friend of my aunt's (she's only got a small flat, so I don't fit in), who is... A transsexual, and she's got the most beautiful house EVER, with loads of Art Nouveau stuff, exactly the kind of house I want when I grow up. I'll post pictures in the next few days.
It's been weird lately... I always have the feeling I'm living someone else's life, and all these little things... I don't know. Listening to psy trance and remembering clubs, and now Always by Bon Jovi (I used to listen to it when I was still in Rome, such a long time ago), and wearing nice earrings (in the shape of bunches of grapes), and my aunt's laundry smelling like Ryan (what can I do, it makes me think of him and my heart aches), flowers, Italian architecture, and cashmire on my skin... All these things probably mean nothing to you, they just seem like a random collection of things and feelings (and they are), but for me, right now, they represent so much, and I can't even explain how and why - sometimes I think that I'm too crazy and complicated and weird for my own good. Every little thing makes me nostalgic and pensive and... I don't know...
By the way, it's confirmed. My parents, AND my aunt, know I smoke. I still don't wanna smoke in front of them though. Which sucks, in some way, because I just need a cigarette. *lol*

Hey there, hope you're enjoying yourself. Spent a day getting my phone to work as a modem so I have internet in the flat! It's soooo slow but good to be in touch with the outside world! Like the photos...:)

Version

Because a picture is worth a thousand words, and I cannot describe my life better than a picture can.
And because my heaven is here, I'll wrap the world around it and live in a cocoon. Quoting from a favourite song, 'Letting the cables sleep' by Bush, in its incarnation as a remix. And I do wish the friend who introduced me to the song was here to see the way things turned out.
The photos used on this site were all taken by me and can be found on my Flickr account.
