"I'm so tired of being looked at all the time. I want to be myself for a change." She leaned her forehead against the bars and after a short silence went on in a thoughtful tone. "I'm not exactly sure what I'd do, you know, but something interesting - something that's all mine. Something that would make some kind of difference in the world" pg.15, tuck everlasting - natalie babbitt
*in and out of Luna Park at an alarmingly fast rate (10 mins max). it now goes into the list of interesting places that we've been to. and sometimes it doesnt really matter if you go anywhere in particular, just as long as your with the one person who will try so very hard not to laugh when a bird craps on your skirt at hyde park. and you find out later that they wanted to piss themselves laughing (as did you if you werent so distraught) but they didnt because of the look on your face. because only stupid things like sitting on bird crap late in the afternoon without realising can happen to me. - that and an ensembley challenged old man who looks you up and down, leers and then states 'nice'. and then comes back for seconds as your going up an escalator with your little sister while you wish that your dad was standing next to you instead of being upstairs already.
