It was my birthday and my friend David made me a gift that was really great. I made myself breakfast one morning and listened to the CD of short stories he recorded for me. I listened to it four times today.
My favourite story is I Am Unemployed by Tao Lin, but I like them all. I Am Unemployed makes me imagine I am standing on a street in New York, or maybe in Philadelphia (although I don't know what Philadelphia would be like, so I don't know why I think of it), and Betrayed Kingdom makes me think that sometimes I drink too much and am too flirtacious and sometimes people might get tired of me being like that. David's voice is amazingly rich and lovely, and it was nice to hear it and imagine him reading and what he looks like when he speaks.
Thank you David x
I also got some other nice things.
The back of the tapestry below is covered in stickers and doodles; one of Orlando Bloom, and 'Courtney''s signature, surrounded by stars. Twelve year olds are funny and own funny things and I like owning Courtney's old frame, even though she was a terrible speller and Orlando Bloom is not that cool.
My birthday last year was horrid, and this one was good, but the day after your birthday is always weird.
