I cant tell how I am, but let me deduce:I dont have any thoughts anymore.: I have nothing to sayI havent cried since August.: I have nothing to feel
(not only next but all Decembers, infinite Decembers)
Everythings melted into an ocean of superglue, Christmas crackers and cigarettes and public transport and dinners and what-do-I-do-with-my-hands. Stuck, stuck, stuck. This is today: youre a sarcophag...

I dont want to have Ludwig II Syndrome anymore, "an eternal enigma to myself and others". It all comes from, I dont know, constantly writing about dead people, maybe, and missing someone...
Dont know what it is with my strange obsession with bookshop neurosis, worries me quite a bit. Circular thoughts about the shelves as my safe haven and maybe thats really the only place I can have my...
"I stand by my initial statement, youre water in my windpipe."
Took myself for coffee today but went home before I could re-enact my meltdown behind the shelves at Waterstones last month. Once is too often for crying in bookshops. I know you’re supposed to want ...
Can’t sleep, might as well write.Back into the maelstrom again. Lost the ‘C’ on my keyboard. If this all were a novel, it would stand for something. An omen, the Grim in my teacup. Calculated 77 more...
Want to write volumes so that I wont forget (pirouetting on cobblestone, stargazing through clouds, book discussions on midnight trains).

The loneliest feeling on Earth is having no-one to button up the back of your dress.That, and sewing your own name-tags into your shirts.
Absolutely, infinitely out of ideas, all I remember how to do is shrug. What do you do when? What do you do? Ive become a bit of a vagabond, hairbrushless, ringing my own doorbell in the mornings. We...

All everything does to me is leave me with my feet dangling, not knowing what to do: somewhere in translation whole chapters disappeared, blown over rooftops for the lack of a paperweight and then -T...
Crumpled, crumbling. Minds are sieves - must find way to preserve thoughts. Drown them in fog, stab them with pins. "Please dont forget." - but I will; greatest tragedy of all. Now to bed wit...
