home alone

I am home alone.. Which is normal. I am usually at home alone due to the fact that I live alone. I have the radio on most of the time to make it not so quiet. I keep the doors and windows open so noises from outside can come inside with me. I keep Polly on my shoulder most of the time. She and the TV provide movement, giving my eyes something to look at that isn't caused by me.

I have three mirrors in my house.. Which I like sometimes and not others. It is handy at the moment as I have 65 self portraits to draw in the next few weeks and the accessibility of the mirrors makes that one less thing I need to worry about. So I spend copious amounts of time sitting in my house with the radio on, the rat on my shoulder, doors open, staring at myself and trying to copy down what I see onto a bit of paper. Needless to say I get sick of looking at myself :|

So I like going to the Uni campus. Even if it's just being able to experience the movement and sound and smells of other living bodies. Even if I do just keep my headphones in my ears and watch sometimes (is that creepy?)
