Contemplating Navel...

Things I want to do in the new phase of my life:

• Learn a new skill, perhaps a language: French or Portuguese
• Grow my hair to my waist
• Take dance lessons
• Actually sit through the whole of The Usual Suspects and Citizen Kane
• Move abroad
• Lose four stone
• 'Know Myself'
• Launch www.wondywoman.co.uk
• Write, write, write!

I also need to finish my pile of books, so much for a relaxing for two weeks doing nothing but reading. I'm still not done with the divine Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World, which isn't actually a bad thing because it's one of those stories you never want to end, and the writing is so beautiful if it was the only book you ever got to read again in your life that wouldn't be bad either.

The best thing about this next phase will be the few weeks I get to kick back and get my soul back. I sometimes believe that working the two jobs since October has done irreparable damage to my body and mind. A slight exaggeration of course, but I need this time to get back to who I am.

And to play on the PSP.

Obviously.
