This Year

I’ve found a girl, lost a great friend, travelled something over 4,500 miles by train and realised that when I was small ‘2007′ was far away enough to be totally unimaginable; by then inventions on Tomorrow’s World would be around. I spent silly days in KorĨula pulling faces and failing to guess ‘keys’ in a game of twenty questions, found the best named shop in the world in Olomouc (beats Valencia’s ‘Happy Crack’ for audacity) and was robbed of my book of everything in Rome. In Plitvice I sweated like fuck and wasn’t allowed to swim in this. In Split Kylie attempted to educate the world’s revolutionaries (look hard) and I realised that large, dark objects brushing against my legs in deep water -really- makes me panic. I played Faithless’ Salva Mea enough times to know that it’s 10m37s long and I scored 194 points in a game of Scrabble against my cousin with the word ‘beeswing’. That’ll never happen again : O.

What did you do?
