Yesterday afternoon, I went to the movies by myself. Chose to see Stranger than Fiction, sat where I thought I wanted to sit, then sat somewhere else. I SO enjoyed myself, the film was just perfect to me. Spoke to me about how loneliness can change in just a moment, about how taking a few scary steps forward towards someone else will find you being met halfway. How life explodes into glorious technicolor when love arrives. How this false sense of immortality that most of us have, causes us to waste so much time, and that life can be over, just like that, like the flick of a switch. It was...beautiful.

Today I feel like my smallest niece felt yesterday. Except I don't get the luxury of sitting on grandmas lap all morning getting cuddles. Slept erratically, and scheduled a too early appt this morning way the other side of London. Y'all know how I am
when I haven't slept well.
Sooner rather than later I have to acknowledge its Christmas and do some shopping. I just don't believe in this holiday, it seems pointless.

The headlines on the newspapers I refuse to read are unavoidable. Someone is killing women in Ipswich, 5 in a matter of weeks. The tabloids exploit these horrors to shift papers. I hope they catch him soon.
