Pressure to be extraordinary ! I say Fuck off ! We already are !
My weeks are ridiculous - outside Starbucks I encounter an alien and a dinosaur at 7:30 in the morning - it seems surreal as I make my way to chinese class where the students are drama teachers and so damn rowdy that no one learns anything - then flying into a day that involves Oscar Wilde stories,Production rehearsals , a flooded kitchen on return home -all the white dishcloths used to wipe the floor and the mysterious mopper unknown.
Trying to get onto my VPN for the 1000 time , mysterious cooking at 3 in the morning from my flatmates mom ( week 2 she is still here - mysterious parcels of green vegetables delivered to the front door )
Buying cat food when I don't own a cat but religiously feeding the downstairs hutong cats now lovingly known as Vladimir, Button baby and Inge - everyday someone takes my tupperware dish I feed them in - who would do that ? Ikea needs another visit !
Construction at 11.30 at night outside my window when I'm recovering from a tequila filled , halloween night and wild dancing most required after looong weekend workdays . Visions of ghostbusters, ninja's , cave man drummer , horses and Native American Indians flash in a blur across my minds post apocalyptic party eye.
Mysterious men from Colorado , A hundred foot journey , watching how to sharpen a pencil ( 30 minutes of mind bollocking numbness) exchanging British terms of endearment (not - hear Sod it , twat , git ) on the bus home.
Pollution reminding us thickly and forcefully that my lungs are 47 years old - how a blue sky can cheer you up in seconds - lung cancer forgotten !
Halloween movies where the Pizza delivered is so large - its much more scary than the movie itself ! Skyping with a friend in Nepal whilst in bed reading Kafka on the shore .
Rapping polite girls wearing an apron on a bicycle - making motherfucka sound like icing on a cupcake . Margarita's , Meditation day 18 and dr. Zeuss being pushed down a hutong alley in a shopping trolley .
There is no pressure to be amazing , unique , wild or adventurous - we already are !
Our everyday stories are wilder than we think ! Stories happen to everyone , everyday !
