'Stuff goes mad on the peripheries'
As the year is about to end, I'm going through my old organiser and trying to work out what I need to transfer. I'm an incorrigible scribbler, and the book is full of random quotes, brain-vomitings and other stuff that make absolutely zero sense unless you know the context. I decided to transcribe some of it here, because it amuses me.
[Note: stuff in quote marks is, unsurprisingly, the words of other people. Stuff not in quote marks=my own words.]

'On the one hand, who you are in highschool is who you'll be forever, and that's very wonderful. On the other hand, who you are in highschool is who you'll be forever, and that's terrifying.' [Can't remember the source of this quote, but I think it's in reference to the Harry Potter books.]

Dream - I could fly
- I was a slave
- I was being pursued by a terrifying woman
- I wound up with an abusive father on a rough bush track, defended his daughter and he threatened me
- I was in a cabin with Duke of Edinburgh people
- I was in a palatial hotel/department store, flynig around the ceiling (which was festooned with glittering, jewel-like lights) and the terrifying woman chased me
- I was among fellow-slaves in rural Ireland. A little girl died, demanded proper burial
- I was at Harvard. They were doing brain surgery on me, in a race against time, as the woman had removed something from my brain and was gaining on me. Everyone was fighting her
-I was begging fellow-slaves for help in burying the girl, and we were in a boggy field, covered with mud; they were digging pumpkins. Still I was pursued
- my name was Jillian.
