I'm no Vincent Van Gogh, Picasso or Henry Moore, but I try

When I'm not talking, eating or working I draw.

I love detail and textures, It's my thang.

Drawing is a 1/4 of my escapism.

I like it loud

I have been awake since 12pm yesterday. I sat up all night waiting for the internet to resurrect from the depths of my despair but no.

Thoughts kept me up. 

Music was playing, some playlist on soundcloud which I will not mention for the fear of being judged. 

It was chill. I sat here drawing and writing and gazing out of my window at the moon. Thinking about those scenarios that you want to happen.

Yeah... I'm no John Keats, but when I start thinking, I shit you not, a poem starts forming in my head.

The conversion of my thoughts into lines that won't ever make sense to you. 

I turn him on, he's always showing it.

And I love it when he's loud during the day, but the soothing whispers in the night are so perfect.

It's only when it's just me and him that the whole world is forgotten. 

My mind is just on him and it's magical.

I pay so much attention to him, I sometimes wish he would talk more...

Like if I asked a question, I'd want him to answer, he has no soul

but he answers me in other ways.

Ways that make me feel noticed.

One to one.

Perhaps they hear us, they've never seen us though.

I value privacy. But he likes attention so I don't think he'd mind going public.

I always notice his veins that pulse this energy, that drive.

His deep notes always hop in my ears.

We'll always have this connection.

I know it, I will take him everywhere I go...well only if they have sockets.

He is so clean I'd never want to get him dirty on anyone else's desk.

And I wish the wires were longer because I like distance sometimes.

Tomorrow is Sunday, he'll have a day off.

And I wish he could go louder, but security would hate me even more than they do now.

I dance to him though, everyday. He doesn't comment. So I dance more.

lmao, I knew personifying my speakers was a bad idea.

(Master)-your shape up first-(Chef)

Oh my,

why the fuck have I just sat here watching Master-chef when I should be focusing on polishing my presentation or just getting ready for my day.

I am so angry, 1) at the fact that this bitch of a woman thinks she's all this and that, on her high horse giving feedback like she has 100 DMs waiting for her. Then the bald prick who interrogates as if it were his job to.

No.

You can't have a program run like that.

I mean the guy said "I wouldn't lose sleep over it" - basically saying his dish was alright...

she goes..."I would"...

sorry?

Like what?

One black contestant...yes the One and only black contestant presented two dishes.

They frowned on it, because the judges were only allowed to taste one. Okay I get it.

So he took his desert away, and left them with his water cress soup.

Basically it was good, but no technical skill was shown.

He goes "ah yes chef I shall blah blah"

and she goes "You better or I'll hate you for good...*pause* just kidding"

Bitch who are you kidding?

What are you kidding?

Who are you fooling bitch?

Your shape-up is kidding.

Your anti nostrils are kidding.

Bitch, every facial expression you make is kidding evolution. Darwin...every theory known to man.

Like why did you pronounce 'Mas-ca-poniiiiii' in an elaborate Italian manner...then in front of the contestants you shorted it to 'mas-ca-pon' say what???

I mean yes that made me turn around, sit down, and stand up again.

You must be reading this thinking this girl is out of her mind.

I don't care. To be honest I have no one to tell here. Lonely, sitting in my Uni room, therefore I will write a blog post about it.

That is how my brain functions now. I tell you all my shit.

I'm just in the mood where I want to get my presentation done. I am hoping it goes well.

It's challenging but when  have I ever turned a challenge down aye?
