Turn around Bright Eyes

every now and then i fall apart

20th june - olivia vs claudia

kak huda has cancer.

-------

at the petrol station i pulled up next to an old, beat-up proton saga, plate numbers ABR something. the paint has peeled and chipped. i saw mattresses and pillows at the back seat. i thought this person could be homeless. i did my business and pulled out. the man sitting in front with his seat down caught my eye. he must have slept the night in that spot.

-

on the way home i saw a lady at the roadside. she wears shorts and socks and sneakers, with bagpack. her right hand had a plastic bag over it. i wondered why she had it and then i saw her picking up trash or a plastic bottle off the ground.

taza is 28 years old, pregnant with third, and just had a 7th year marriage anniversary. she posted a pic of them before getting married, she looked like mandy moore. i remember that picture from her old blog, when she was crazy about her diana polaroid camera.

i just discovered there was one superstar sweet valley high i haven't read, which is olivia davidson's, while i was digging around. i was thrilled. olivia apparently is sweet valley's answer to babysitter's club claudia.
