Who am I now? September 28, 2006
Posted by Jen in : Bits and Pieces, Journal, Writing Bits , 4commentsIt occurred to me this morning at 6.45 that I was, at that very moment, a ‘proper’ writer. Sitting in bed in bf’s huge pyjamas, scribbling away in my notebook and drinking tea, I had completely forgotten about getting up, making brekkie and taking the children to school. Abandoning the writer ‘me’ I leapt into action as the mother ‘me’. Breakfast done, it was back into writer ‘me’ as I scribbled more notes while sitting in the traffic.
Late as always, I lurched across the car park to the office, buttoning up my suit as I ran. Time for office life where I mysteriously became a manic, tangle-haired, caffeine-fuelled Medusa, ready to curse anyone brave enough to ask why I hadn’t done this, that and the other.
I often feel like Mr Benn who could become a different person by putting on the required outfit. If I stop spinning between the various permutations of ‘me’ long enough, perhaps I’ll figure out which ‘me’ is the real one?
Check out this link - not only does it have loads of theme tunes to many of our beloved childhood programmes, it also includes instructions on how to make your very own Clanger which is about as good as life can get. Now where did I put my knitting needles???
