One Year On
Dec. 3rd, 2005 02:59 pmGideon and I moved into our flat a year ago today. We were talking about this event a few weeks ago and Gid said that he thought we'd done quite well in the past year. It's been a funny time. I've had very good times, but also some quite frighteningly bad times too. Still, it's been better than living at home. I think things would have got a lot worse a lot sooner if I hadn't got out of Stoke Poges. Gideon has, however, developed an unhealthy obsession with the local squirrels. This morning he mentioned 'squirrel' and 'barbed wire' in the same sentence.
I'm in the Studio listening to some new mixes of Hydrous' "Reverence". It sounds very good. Apparently one of the tracks in 136bpm and the other is 140bpm. I couldn't tell you there was a great difference in either, but then I'm no musician.
I've been at Faith again. It was starting to get to me, but fortunately another temp has come along who is as bored as me so we sit discussing Canada (where she's from and where I want to go again) and numerous other things. I'm registering with another agency on Monday to find me something else to do. I don't mind boredom, but I think that boredom needs to be varied. Plus, there's only so long until a girl gets fed of being assumed to be stupid. Still, it's money, and that's something I don't have a lot of at the moment.
Meanwhile, I've been teaching two nights a week at the GEOS school in Ealing and I think it's going quite well. The students keep coming back, so that is, at least, encouraging. It was quite nerve-wracking for the first few lessons as I was teaching properly, by myself, for the first time. There was no one at the back of the room with a clipboard making notes and no feedback. I have to scold myself now when I get things wrong. At least I know I'm getting them wrong!
I took my mum to see Edward Scissorhands at Sadler's Wells last Sunday as a birthday/xmas present. Beforehand we went to Wagamama on Wigmore Street where mum was rather astonished at being sandwiched between a man reading a book and a family of Americans talking continually about edamame, and then being forced to use chopticks! I think she'll need more convincing. The ballet was really good. The Edward costume was excellent, with these huge potentially lethal scissorhands (obviously). I wasn't so sure about the final dance between Edward and Kim, it wasn't as lively those I've witnessed in the few ballets I've seen, but we both enjoyed it immensely.
Hungry now. Am going foraging.
