I had a long stream of consciousness over getting dinner and I can't post it here, I'd post it in adult but it's basically not of interest to anyone else.
This is it without the dirty bits, skip if you don't want to read it but I just wanted to show what my aspie brain works like:
1 there was a time when I was a 13 yo, 13 yo me at that pub and 6 yo him at that pub and he was making a racket and a nuisance of himself but more talented than the other kids and running about after a balloon or something and I was doing the same but I was me.…
2 was it the same for him when he was 13? Anyway, he still hangs around there and I don't, I wish I could just go back there and we could hang out but it would be different now and he would be the one I couldn't hang out with
3 but I hung out with G so why not?
4 remember the cocktails you used to be able to buy and the one we liked to buy was called the Mickey Mouse, all mocktails and someone always bought one
5 Mickey Mouse and Princess
6 so he could be Mickey and I could be Belle because she likes reading. Belle could wear yellow trousers. I could draw this. Would anyone want to see it?
7 but I'm way too tomboy for a princess and he wouldn't want a princess. I could be Peter Pan. I'm probably trans. I was definitely more boy than girl at stage 1 of this long daydream.
8 Peter Pan was always my hero growing up
9 I never really 'grew up', I still look like a kid and live at home
10 he still lives with his parents too... he still hangs out at the same places we used to...
So yeah...

A was being really patronising in the café but this woman I admire whose name I don't know stood up to him. I think he was jealous cos of what L got me but of course he can't admit that so instead he's 'women cost a lot of money'... It's not about that and he knows it isn't. Maybe he's being polite in pretending? It's none of his business how L spends his money, it was my birthday.

I'm so fed up of political labels getting in the way of what I actually think. This is why I prefer philosophy over politics. Nobody really sees themselves as a philosophical label so we can actually get in debates and the opinions can even shift, people are so committed to their political labels that nobody wants to concede any ground on it.

J was really funny talking to that builder and saying what he did when A was right there hahaha... And we joined in and I said 'they have the strong women'.

Too late now to do any work.

I shouldn't tell him he reminds me of Leopold Bloom, he will take it as an insult. But I don't mean it as one.
*
My art is very dark at the moment.
*
I'm imposing politics onto the inspiration - I wonder if that's 'allowed'

Tomorrow:
go to town and buy Granddad's shirt. It's not women that cost a lot, it's birthday people that cost a lot.
(sorry, apparently the answer was 'a lot')
