Das Parfum

“And how should a baby smell in your opinion?”
“A baby should smell good!” the nurse {Jeanne Bussie} replied.
“What does good mean?” father Terrier’s voice sounded booming. “Lots of things smell good: A nosegay of lavender smells good. Chicken soup smells good. The gardens of Arabia smell good. How does a baby smell?” […]
“It’s not that easy…” the nurse began “because…they don’t smell everyplace the same, although they smell everyplace wonderful, father, you understand…on their feet for instance, they smell like a smooth, warm pebble ~no, make that clay…or like butter, like fresh butter. And on their torso they smell like …biscuit soaked in warm milk. But on the top of the their head, right there on the crown, right here where you don’t have anything anymore” and with that she touched the centre of the bald spot on father Terrier’s head, who, affronted with this stream of detailed nonsense had remained speechless and had submissively bowed his head, “here, they smell exquisite! Here, they smell like butterscotch, so sweet and wonderful, father, that you can’t really imagine! If you smell a baby there, you will love it, whether it is your own or someone else’s”.

I feel at peace with myself
and that my future is promising

Ive researched Buddhism, to concept of 'It is written', I think by Allah, and as a Christian am yet to go to church, though I think it will take place soon. I want to belong to a community and something bigger then myself.

I visited tropical and in land Queensland and what I experianced is beyond words, it was the greatest experiance Ive had because I met so many people.
I want to find out more about my cultural identity, about being Indigenous to my land, and as it turns out Aboriginal Australians embrace many concepts similar to the optimism of Buddhism

Im starting to no desire towards having and obtaining things beyond my means, I want to hear peoples stories and experience my own.
Those things I do obtain should be special. For quality not quantity

On my trip I met a sculpture, he said he also does jewellery design with Black Coral and Ivory, athough they are illegal to sell here I new it would be beautiful. I looked up black coral when I got home (a black coral bracelet above), arr I wish I asked to see his work

Garbage Island

Im looking for a full time job but I don't want to be a receptionist and definately not for a company I dont agree with.
So I spent most of yesterday on vice's site, and came across this series. It makes me completely want to avoid non organic and consumerised foods. Im half way there! being vegan makes it easier but this will definately effect your thinking.
Its an amazing series, you see dead sea diving at night which they describe as like going into space. But what you see about the state of the ocean is terrible, there no 'garbage island' like i imagined, its just decomposed rubbish everywhere.
Seriously watch it and pass it on

I can't describe how inside her head I feel

'Please let him come, and give me the resilience & guts to make him respect me, be interested, and not to throw myself at him with loudness or hysterical yelling; calmly, gently, easy baby easy. He is probably strutting the backs among crocuses now with seven Scandinavian mistresses. And I sit, spiderlike, waiting, here, home; Penelope weaving webs of Webster, turning spindles of Tourneur. Oh, he is here; my black marauder; oh hungry hungry. I am so hungry for a big smashing creative burgeoning burdened love: I am here; I wait; and he plays on the banks of the river Cam like a casual faun'.

What is reality and how can it be confronted?'

Im re reading the Bell Jar, it amazes me how much I see myself in these characters, particually in the Bell Jar and cassie out of skins. how you constantly go over things in your mind, to the extent where you dont no if you altered what your perception of reality is. you go over every detail and dont no which way to think, in the end i decide it best not to think about it at all, but then you feel completely blank. I finally saw my friends last nite, my high school friends, it wasnt for long but I cant describe how good it made me feel it completely regrounds me and makes me feel like nothing has changed and that there will only be problems so long as I let there be. Having said that watching Sex and the City was way to emotional to watch after having just broken off a relationship, but I still value what we had and my friends. Ahh I could make this a bit more poetic but I cant even rap my own head around what Im feeling.

The main thing I got out of the Bell Jar is how Sylvia Plath explores the idea of your own silence, and how defening it can become. Happens all to much over the past few months. That you have the potential to drive yourself insane, and honestely after reading this book the first time I thought about it alot. About shouting out in public, in living reality as if it were a dream and posing actions without considering the reaction or consequence. On tuesday Robbie wanted to take a photo of me and as usual I wouldnt let him. Im constantly striving for this ultimate image of myself, the way people percieve me, envisioning myself as a THING and I dont think Im ever going to get there. these little struggles are the interesting part. I feel beautiful lying here on a blanket on the floor in front of my heater with my mac and the Bell jar, but im distancing myself from people again.
Dad gave me a big talk, its all about relationships he said. So I want to work on my relationships with people as much as possible. Not in a fake way but relise that they are of more importance, good things will come of a good relationship not the other way around.
