i’ve been trying to get josh to sit down and do sm with me all day, but he keeps fucking off and eating – after lectures and then after tute, so I’m fucking fed up – and i’m not waiting around for him later. i’m coming to see you! i just figured out that i can hand sm in on thursday anyway.

Well – it has been a little while since writing in here. We had a great time on Saturday looking at tattoos – I love doing stuff like that with you – hope we can do it more in the future. And on Sunday of course everything changed upside down (for which you must not blame yourself). I don’t know what is going to happen now. I am waiting for your call.
