cass, 21, living with hysteria. hello

all girls should have a poem
written for them even if
we have to turn this god-damn world
upside down to do it

NEXT BACK

In amongst the mess of the past few days, here are three highlights:

• watching a Star Wars musical created by uni friends. The score was based on songs by Franz, Bloc Party, Placebo, Arctic Monkeys, Dandy Warhols and more: where could it go wrong? Picture a Jedi knight wielding a light sabre and singing a reworded version of ‘The Prayer’. Now imagine it conducted under UV lights while alien callgirls writhe in the background. Now imagine me getting excited about the number of women who defy the victim/whore dichotomy in the show, and you can see how much of a crowdpleaser it was!
• trying African cuisine for the first time. The menu earnestly described dishes as “tangy! So succulent!” AND THEY WERE. One dish was named after the Wollef word for ‘homosexual’
• my sister giving birth to a healthy boy. She’s named him Archie. I’m considering changing my name to Veronica by deed poll; my brother can fill the role of Jughead with very little difficulty

I don’t think the rest of the week can beat that.
