Tumbleweeds

Anu is at her corporate job in town.
Robin is in YankeeLand
Sky and Kassia are en route to Copenhagen
Anka is in Italy for the week
and i am here = at the Casa, by day, alone

i am almost never alone, by choice
like many, i have a busy social life
unlike most, i seek no alone time

i jump around form task to task
working on fund raising applications
reading the latest election news (i am obsessed)
tweaking wikipedia entries
reviewing friends activities on Facebook

the only think i get out for is a failed attempt to
make it to the Emilystraat street market before it is all broken down
in hopes of scoring some free produce

and to mail a postcard to my ailing father
the 13th i've sent in the last three weeks

alone

Hmm... I know how it feels to never be alone, but more and more I crave a little bit of simple solitude.... mostly, because I like to do things like stare in the mirror and draw introspective self-portraits, draw, in general, stretch, stretch, think, write... because I never have any real "alone time", I find myself doing strange things like taking photos in public restrooms. For a while, I felt like those were the only times that I was ever really "alone". Strange.
