chrasy.com ; naive gravity means never falling

My name is Tracey. I love languages and I love the way that people communicate with each other. I love music and I'm a very bad driver which makes sense, since I'm Asian AND female. I live quietly, but my life is often full of brilliant sparks and happy moments. Let me share them with you.

creepster returns!

  • Creep: Hello Tracey
  • Me: Errr.... Hello.
  • Creep: I'd er, like to make a booking for Wednesday.
  • Me: Okay.
  • Creep: I will thoroughly peruse your menu then, on the Wednesday, the 17th of February 2010.
  • Me: ....Okay, I'll just put you in
  • Creep: Because last time I didn't really look at the menu.
  • Me: That's all right.
  • Creep: What are those on the walls there? They look like, like, l-l-l-like...
  • Me: They're tigers. Because it's the year of the tiger. Chinese New Year is on Sunday.
  • Creep: That's the same day as Valentines Day! Now, tell me Tracey, you don't have to elaborate on this but what are your plans for Valentines day?
  • Me: I have to go now. *hides in kitchen*

things from before.

In Queen Victoria Building, the smell of waffles filled the air. There were so many legs, long and brown, stretching out below unaffected faces.

(It’s terribly easy to be overlooked. That may be what I like about Sydney, but on the other hand, I’m sure parts of me want to stand out.)

Town Hall station is an extension of hell. Its humid platforms and tunnels are breeding grounds for body odour and sweat. The poor children in blazers, trousers and tights are defeated. There was hair everywhere, plastered unattractively to foreheads and napes of necks.

(Always act as if someone is watching you. Even on impossibly hot train platforms. Someone will see you, even if it’s just from the corner of their eye.)

Inside the train, there was rustling. Newspaper pages folding and scrunching and turning.

(I heard that good writers are good watchers, but I just… I just had to close my eyes…)

I keep staring at “Add a Text Post”

and I’m wondering if in the past thousand posts, I’ve given rise to anything beautiful from text boxes and blankness.

For everything you’re read, up until now, thank you very much.
