August 21st, 19.13: just remembered a dream where she had a huge star tattooed all over her back. Does that mean she should wish upon a star or get a back massage?

August 21st, 14.29: should maybe watch her thoughts for they become words. Watch her words for they become actions…

=========================================

August 17th, 13.07: is not quite sure if it’s time to leave bed or press snooze just a few more minutes. Sleep deprivation and intense jazz groupy’ing do that to you.

August 17th, 4.35: had a great 2nd time around at the Sunside with the boys! The trouble with (the) Yaron, Matt & Gerald (trio) is that there is not enough of it!

=========================================

August 16th, 9.20: is up. At 9… Now what?

August 16th, 8.56: went to bed at 3, work up at 8… What’s going on? She’s all upside down like a jazz tune. She’s a groupie now. Needs force and energy!

August 15th, 3.39: is fed up being the good friend who is left behind in favour of the “potential maybe” who is getting a lift home while she looks for a cab alone past 3am! Merde!

=========================================

August 14th, 19.30: doesn’t have a sense of entitlement or that she deserves what she has. Can she have her champagne now?

August 14th, 11.59: is getting her own delivery of sleep from over seas in just over a week!! Deliverance!

August 14th, 3.05: thinks she may kill a brain cell with each Secret Story episode. She’ll have to learn to sleep again or she’ll be dumb by the end of the summer

August 14th, 1.30: can’t decide if to count an animal farm to help her sleep or the days left in the Secret Story house. Which got more potential?

August 11th, 21.44: is at home first evening in a few weeks. So far, there has been no temptation to leave it. Rather good progress!

August 11th, 11.29: is starting to fear the night like kids fear the closet monsters. It's not free-hug day but if you see her in the street today, take her in your arms!

August 11th, 3.42: is in need of a friendly, warm and long hug… This lack of sleep is making her go nuts! Needs a pair of warm arms around her and a glass of hot milk with a straw.

August 9th, 13.34: has been doing so much since this early morning. Had brunch, did some emailing, found a cure for cancer…

August 9th, 11.49: could maybe pretend she's in a different time zone and feel less guilty about opening her eyes at almost midday

August 9th, 2.55: is in bed. Not asleep yet but the bed is an excellent first step! One baby step at a time!

August 9th, 2.08: thinks that if you feel lonely, move to the city! City life is millions of people being lonesome together!

=========================================

August 8th, 13.32: thinks that having something to say is overrated!

August 8th, 11.20: is getting up with a slight…ly horrific hang over. Things didn’t go according to plan. Do they ever?

=========================================

August 7th, 3.30: wanted to go for just a drink. Ended up in a club for one more. Finally in bed trying to end the day.

August 7th, 15.36: is afraid of the thunder! Has nightmares about plane parts falling down from the sky and giant bees aiming to sting her through doors! To be avoided in storms!

August 6th, 10.44: thinks the nothing will be here any minute and she won’t just sit here and let it take over her!

August 4th, 2.10: is watching Casablanca, thinking how time goes by, feeling quite sentimental and wondering what watch… 2am watch… Such much!

August 4th, 1.46: is watching Casablanca, crying to Casablanca

=========================================

August 3rd, 23.38: is still taking her break. Still trying to get over her human disappointment and drinking… It helps!

August 3rd, 2.37: is taking a break. Needs to reboot and get rid of trash!

August 3rd, 2.27: has been let down not by 1, by 2, but by 3 people in less then 2 hours tonight. A bit tough to handle…

August 3rd, 2.10: is fed up! Why give if you don’t receive back? How to choose the right people? Learn to trust less…
