On the upside, today, in preparation for the new course to be embarked upon, I paid a visit to Officeworks, although not perfect, it suffices. Upon visitation, it was to my utter horror that they had no more 120 page Spirax notebooks. By 'no more' I don't simply mean no perfect copies, I mean literally none left on the shelves, it is due to this terrifying discovery that I contacted a number of acquaintances and hopefully friends as I seem to be lacking in a few of those. Then the answer came in the form of Danica who informed me of her plan to buy colourful 5 subject notebooks. The result is beautiful.
Preparing for something new is always a thrill. The challenge is to go through with it till the end. Such as when I begin writing a story and the ideas just keep on coming, but then all of a sudden the lake of ideas just dries and becomes a salt bed or something just doesn't quite fit so the excitement dies and with it the drive to continue and complete the work.
The one thing that I do deem perfect in this messy, ugly, unpredictable world though is a Kikki.K store. Let me tell you, they are genius. It's a work of art, purely white, clean, perfectly straight lines and 90 degree angles. Evenly spaced shelves and categorised by both colour and theme. I could spend a day simply sitting in there and never get tired of the perfect clarity and the ambience of the store. What's even better is that it's a stationary store. I've always been one of those people who enjoyed the clean smell of new books and the perfect whiteness of the pages.
What was that?
Why yes, sometimes I do get strange subtle urges for perfection. No, it's not quite that extreme to be called an obsessive compulsive disorder, how rude. To even suggest that I have a mental illness. Didn't your mother teach you manners?
