ALCHEMY

I found out the meaning of the word 'quixotic' this was nice. I drank ginger tea, this was also nice. But the best was kitchen-dancing to Asleep by The Smiths with someone special, and having a meaningful conversation and just feeling like maybe the world can be beautiful. I havn't felt like this in a long time; but i think that maybe i can be properly happy. I hope so anyway, otherwise im fucked! i made a list of things i like about life, so i could remember the important things that keep me going. I wrote down things like: people that dont give up on me, people i love, people that love me, old friends, loud music, slow songs, big smiles, glitter and feathers!
Did some christmas present shopping on etsy.com modcloth.com and good old ebay. Ahhh what a lifesaver. Hope the cold hasnt been getting to you too much, im sitting here practically on top of the radiator with a marathon of 'teen mom' on tv. I love classy telly. And if i ever get pregnant im going to bake my mum a biscuit and ice "im preg" on it. Then i'll call my baby Luna if its a girl or Sundance if its a boy and live in a rainbow van and make jewellery and grow weed and tea.
To top the day off i wrote a letter to a newspaper expressing my frustration with the Fairy Liquid adverts on tv and how they only show women doing the washing up. Sexist fuckers.


Five good things about today
1. Quixotic
2. Being on happy-high from yesterday
3. Thinking of some good present ideas
4. Aquired two boarding school essentials: noodles and deoderant
5. Happy friends


Raya.

What is it that pretty girls do?

I asked aoife that today. 
Aoife: ermmm what do you mean...
Raya: when they look in the mirror, do you think they're all like "ohhhh look at me im so pretty wowwww''
Aoife: and then what do they do?
Raya: pretty girl things. like.....put on lip gloss or something


we're playing magnetic poetry now and it's looking a bit like this:
murmur about one another
as if love were like winter


the best soundtrack to frosty sundays with magnetic poetry is the smiths. we've been spreading the love for the smiths around our school a bit so hopefully we can take over the world with that; maybe.
i also decided to never cut my hair. hmm
we'll be heading back to boarding house this evening for some hot tea and a chat


love always, raya and aoife

there is a light that never goes out

Hello my dearests,
Raya the Rebel is back in School! Came back yesterday afternoon, getting dirty looks from all the teachers and curious ones from the students today. Sounds so much cooler when you say she got suspended for drinking tea.
Only 3 days till midterm break, i am so excited!
Going to fly home Friday morning and stay there for a week and be back for Halloween in Dublin. I really want to be a Bunny for Halloween, like the ones in Mean Girls. So everyone is goint to say: "You're a slut?!" and then I'll say:"I am a mouse, DUH!" Lovee, Benny

Hello everyone its raya on bennys laptop. i was supposed to blog yesterday but...well....yeah...sorry im making up for it now just like i promised myself! school's been weird since i came back all the looks off the teachers and everyone coming up to me asking what the suspension was for. i'm THE biggest reb at school at the moment. its the last week of school before midterm so everyones planning like mad for the holidays. i'm off to wales for a while so i'll just drown myself in tea and eat apple crumble, watch breakfast at tiffanys. (i love you audrey) oh and go charity shop shopping because the town where my mum lives is so small and there's no proper shops. im serious here. no proper clothes shops. (thankfully im pretty much always here in dublin) but it does force me to be creative and i find some great old people jumpers and granny bags and hats and blazers and old records and pretty jam jars and just great stuff!

for halloween im in a bit of dillema when it comes to costumes. im stuck between pikatchu and minnie mouse. i have the pickatchu suit already but i dont want to turn up with benny and aoife looking all sexy in their cat and bunny costumes and i'm there in a big yellow suit...

minnie mouse it is!

i think if you looked inside my head it would be like looking under the sea. everything just floats around. heres a bit of an insight as to whats going on in the depths of my mind

why do you just not bother; glitter; polka dots; which type of milk tastes best with yorkshire tea; tire swings; the mountain im going to climb when i get to wales; why i cant have a kettle as a boyfriend; how much i miss my cat Morrisey (after the amazing frontman of the smiths)  and finally how much i love the movie JUNO.

need to watch it. soon.

i hope you all have a great halloween and tryyyyy to be creative with your costumes. EVERYONE goes to primark and buys a load of fluro stuff. 

love always, RAYA
