Hiya peoples!!!!
Just updating because I haven't for awhile and all that. But really, nothing much has been happening. . . in fact, for the past few weeks, I’ve just been being completely and utterly lazy and done nothing, aside from go to work, eat, read, and sleep.
*sighs happily* Life is goooood..
Anyhoo, since I have fabsolutely nothing new to tell you guys, I’m just gonna tell you random little bits about my life in the hopes that while they seem completely and futterly mundane to moi, they will seem fexotic and fizarre to vous.
OK, #1 thing
for some fompletely fizarre reason, I’ve randomly started putting ‘f’s in front of words. . . I fonder why. . . I fink I’ll fop now. Except for “fabsolutely” and “fizarre”. I rather like those two words.
#2 thing
I’ve “discovered” science books and they’re fabsolutely brilliant!!! My favourite author is Dawkins, who’s a zoologist and writes mostly about evolution.
He’s my hero. I’ve already given him a nickname: Boing. It’s from the fact that in all of the four books I’ve read by him, he’s always mentioned the Boeing 747. Now I know Boing is not the same as Boeing, but Boing sounds funnier. So there.
Anyhoo, Boing is my hero.
#3 thing
Here are a couple of the little things in my life right now that just make me sure that my life is the best life in the world, and everyone should be terribly, terribly jealous:
a) peeling carrots. I just never knew that peeling carrots could be so bloody satisfying. Every day, while I’m “working” in the kitchen, making pineapple juice, deseeding chikoos, chopping guavas, etc, the thing I look forward to the whole morning is peeling the carrots. There’s just something so very. . . I dunno. . . drug-like about peeling carrots. It’s just like when I’m biking back home and the sheer pleasure I get from riding over the brown leaves and hearing them crunch and crackle underneath. Or vacuuming up a really dusty patch and carpet and seeing the difference wherever the vacuum goes. My mind just goes *bliss!* and *sighs happily* afterwards. . .
. . .
Damn I’m weird.
b) the bananas. Did you know that there are like a fajillion different sorts of bananas out there and that, of all the ones that we decided to get in
But that’s just because you haven’t had the other bananas. If you had, you would realize that you’re being totally ripped off and that Canadian bananas should be used for mock gun fights and nothing else.
Over here th
e main type of banana is the small type, that you sometimes see in the “exotic fruits” part of the grocery store. They may be small, but they’re sweet and beautiful, and I think I may start up a religion around them. Actually, I didn’t really realize how good they were (even though I’ve been eating approximately 4-7 a day) until I had one of the bananas that we have back home just recently.
BLECK!!!! Gross! It was all not sweet, and not beautiful, and bleck! all over. I can’t imagine the reason that we eat them back home instead of the kinds sold over here. The only reason I can think of is that the ones back home are bigger, although why you’d want more of them I cannot say.
Anyhoo, the bananas over here are bliss.
. . .
Hmmmm . . . yep. That’s all that I can think to say right now.
Hope yr’all having the times of your lives,
Bisous,
Namaste,
Lentil,

Hi Xio/Lentil,
Whew! I fell behind on your blog...I'll spare the excuses. Mel forwarded the blog address to me and I just spend a delightful time catching up on your adventures since September. Your journal takes me with you ....into your happiness and delight, and into your anger and frustration. Keep using your instincts to stay safe ....sounds like they're pretty sharp now. Enjoy! I'll get an address from your mum and write a real handwritten letter for Christmas In the meantime, thanks for sharing so much of your adventure. Knowing that you are safe and living an incredible life is the best present that you can give us. Love Laurie
I love that you love to peel carrots and vacumn carpets. Yeah, maybe there is hope for a clean and tidy Lentil after all! I can't believe you are getting tired of hippies! You never even talk about them. I forgot that Auroville is kind of a hippy heaven. Tell us more about the hippies and your relationship to them. Enquiring minds want to know!
You are very entertaining even when you talk about peeling carrots, of all things!
love and hugs, your mother.
The one who is glad you are safe and healthy and having bliss on earth!
