I'm ill (or whatever) I'm ill. Just been to the doctor and my throat is infected. Couldn't go to my exam of Portuguese today.
I just wish I would be a bit more ill. You know, I haven't been really really ill for six years or something. It just happens rather often I don't feel well. But I'm not severely ill, so no one cares. If I would be puking, coughing, be have a very high fever, it would at least be real, and I would feel glad afterwards to be still alive. And I would have friends coming over and taking care, cooking, carressing me. But coming back from the doctor, being home alone and to say to myself 'well, he did say I had an infection, and need to take some rest' That sucks. That's why I'm bitching here. | |

That's true. That's why I went to the library today. I've been reading like crazy the last few days, about one book a day. But no sympathy for my illness in them. | |

Hundred years of Solitude was not my thing, although I recognize he's a good writer. The other books I took are 'Oranges are not the only fruit' by J. Winterson and a book by Natalia Ginzburg. | |

I also haven't read 100 Years of Solitude, but I recently read Cholera and I LOVED it! | |

Never read any Winterson either. Camus I read, but he's the kind of writer I need to read in the original language. And I'm really far too ill to read French right now. Just finished Narziss and Goldmund. I liked it, although before I wasn't too fond of Hesse easy philosophical romanticism. | |

I've written 70 pages in the last two weeks. Now this is finished, and this shit happens. The stupid thing is that I feel really guilty for not taking this Portuguese exam today. A voice inside is still telling me 'go on, don't be silly, plenty of things to do'. | |
