I write like I speak

I write like I speak. I have all these thoughts jumbled up in my head and I try to bring them out as quickly as possible so I don't leave out any little bit of information. With writing, it works because you can always go back and edit, but in real life, a lot of times I just get all kinds of looks depending on whom I'm speaking to. My man-friend tells me when I speak 'excitedly' (he has coined it!) that I start to lisp. If I knew that all I had to do to get rid of my lisp was to talk really slowly, this would have saved me a whole lot of money and the pain of braces.

Imagine that....

Weird that my last post was about living with a celeb because this morning this fact actually kicked in. I was awakened by a lot of noise and movement going on in my apartment and I started wondering if my roomie had invited some people over for brunch and assumed I would be in class (forgetting I am on holiday, YAY!), so I decided to be brave and venture out of my room. Strangers, everywhere, suitcases, tripods and then in the living room, my roommate with all kinds of curly things in her hair and a make-up person attending to her.

Me: Wow, what`s going on????
Her:`Cee, I`m so sorry, I had a shoot today and I forgot`
Me:`No problemo, can I watch?`

I must say that I enjoyed the shoot, watching the stylists, make-up lady and photographer work, with all the different languages just floating around was a beautiful thing! In my younger days I remember always wanting to be in the world of fashion, over the years I`ve learnt I am just not cut out for it, I prefer to be a very close observer. In that sense, I guess having Anna as a roommate doesn`t hurt : )
