And we met today and you keep on talking about the time that is to come.

I wanted to talk about the time that came behind us.

And the whiteness is cleaned and you send me pictures of the ocean. And I respond that I think that my nose has grown bigger, my legs has shrunken and my brain is not fitting my scull anymore; “Due to lack on physical activity” I say.

And yes, I am trying to scare you and I want you to think that I am crazier then I actually am. In my world, this is a genius way of not get too far in the conversa tion that I need to tell you that I am not in love with you and that I just want your body. So when you do not reply to my messages it feels like victory.

My mum says that I do though. Scare people. During Christmas she said so. But I still have friends. I think she is lying. I think she just tries to get under my skin.

Like one of those parasites that you do not want to meet in the deep woods of a more tropical place.

She wants to know what is wrong with me. She wants my inside to transform in to sound vibrations, to vocals, to speech, to words. So that she can feel it, hear it and fight it back. Help me.

I have been thinking about the sperm whales and how the stand up together in a circle when they sleep.

And when am I supposed to meet them?

Why cannot I stand up with my pack in a group and sleep?

Slowly, slowly get move from side to side, from the winds and the gravity.

Like a train ride without a train. Like motion without direction.

And I hear my parents steps in the in the stairs again and I think about the yellow book with the frightening drawing of a child on the front. The child is sticking out is tongue and has a lot of weird spots on it. You do not want to end up in that story that is why it is important to stick your T-shirt far down your trousers.

And before I go back in to the darker areas, I make a deal with myself, form now on I will always spell chocolate ice-cream wrong just to irritate my best friend, who thinks spelling is important. If she only knew.

Cohcolate iec-crma.

Cristina Martin De Juan and Wim Sjerps Dear Vasiliki, since January we have been traveling but we would like to collaborate with your project.

We travel very light and the only thing we can store is in our backpacks are tickets, maps and other papers that we collect on the way.We have visited 7 countries in 60 days (argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Chile, Bolivia, Peru and Brazil)

A new strawberry tree- it is true and it is exposing me In my oldschool laptop, I store my “memories” in a file called “mia kainourgia fraoulia”, in English this is translated as “a new strawberry tree”. When I created this folder in my computer I wanted to create a new folder of memories “post” my tattoo. I have a tattoo which represents a strawberry tree and ever since I did that tattoo I feel I m no longer the same. That is for various reasons I prefer to keep to my self . The memories I put in this folder that vary from pictures, photos and mainly texts are the memories I have after the mark on my body and that is one of the ways I count time.
