a rory.
stories my ma tells.
it's my brother's birthday and my ma, my grandma and me are out on a walk.
so ma tells this story: when you were a little girl [and it was only me and you living together], every time you took a bath I would join you and sit on the floor next to you and we would phantasize about our dream home... what we would do if we'd win the lottery. and even at that age (5, 6) you wanted to have your very own library
I was a little Rory, I was.
and then I ask: what was it that you wanted? a round bed or a round bathtub? no, wait, isn't a round bed really, really bad in feng shui?
Ma: yes, they say when you get a round bed you're bringing a relationship killer in your home... but that I already am without a round bed!

this moment was relieving. ma was surprised about her own joke and laughed, I giggled and grandma had to stop walking, bended over and just laughed her snorting laugh I love so much. [I actually inherited it, when it's late and I'm really excited I laugh like this. snorting.]

det löser sig, det gör det alltid
ser var den landar

ler när den stannar
vet var jag är men
är där jag hamnar
trevar och famlar
lever och andas
(timbuktu)
trevar och famlar

So me.
Gary: "What was that all about?"
Holly: "You have a date with that girl tonight!"
G: "I’m gonna be all alone. (…) What if she wants me to talk to her? Do you think she wants me to talk to her?"
H: "Of course she’s gonna want you to talk to her!"
G: "This is not good! Sometimes I say stupid stuff! The prettier the girl, the stupider the stuff!"
H: "Look, before you speak, think about what you’re gonna say and then say it."
G: "Or! I can keep a lot of food handy and any time I start to say something stupid I can jam it in my mouth before anything even comes out! What do you think of that?"
H: "I think you’re gonna gain a lot of weight."
(Holly & Gary, What I like about you)
