"rachel and work are like two diametrically opposite notions"

- j's initial disbelief to news that i've been working for awhile

not that i think it's true; what was funny was his reaction. there were other things i said i'd remember, but somehow i didn't or else they lost their flavour and this was the only one absolute enough in excess to be memorable. some kind of humourous.

my toenail paints are taking ages to strip away, and meanwhile they scratch themselves hoarse. soon enough i will take stacks of paper and a black pen and exhaust myself of words and events, then sit and stare at pomogrenate vines till they turn into fireflies. before that happens though, i am going to eat durian. i had an awkward car moment yesterday.

i don't know why my knee's taking so long to heal this time; i think i am properly scared now and will not run long-distance again, i have joined the club of clanking bones. :( but at least there's the swimming pool, if i ever get down to that. knee, please heal soon- i cannot walk until you do.
