The Spin of the Ball

The Blog: I’ve been working weekends for the last 3 years so I rarely see friends. This blog is my attempt to socialise.

Wonder: There’s a question I didn’t think to ask until my 30’s. It’s “What’s going on?” As a kid it seemed like my parents and teachers knew and they were teaching me about it. But how did they know? I’ve noticed some people don’t like talking about this but I love it. To initiate a conversation with me on this simply ask: What if the universe is a dream?

The Beast: I watched Beauty and the Beast last night. I’ve seen it many times. It was one of four VHS cassettes I had growing up (the others were Aladdin, The Jungle Book and Ablett: One Special Season). This movie feels relevant to me. Like the Beast, I spend most of my days secluded in a castle. I think the message of the film is to stay in your castle until a beautiful woman comes along looking for her dad, falls in love with you and lifts the curse.

This is my plan. To sit and wait. If she never comes, I shall remain a beast forever. That’s ok. I like being a beast.

Party: I’m going to a party. My third one of the year. I’m excited. I bought an outfit in preparation. For a while I decided to wear tracksuits to everything. I wanted to be comfortable at parties. Now I’ve realised that the point is to be uncomfortable at parties. For the occasion. For each other. I get it now.

Spirituality: I’m extremely spiritual. The girls on Hinge find it “exhausting”. I get these thoughts in my head that seem interesting but I’m never sure if they’ll make sense to anyone else. Now that I have a blog I’ll share the latest one:

If you want the trains to run on time, be thankful for the train that is late.
