Diary of Lisa Taylor, reluctantly 42 (and a half)

Or.. 'f.ck me I'm forty.. two.. and a half', though can look 38 on a - not so deluded - good day. Or 'How to reconcile a well experienced mind trapped in a still - but for how long? – youthful body.' Don't have the 30somethings angst/problems, neither have the resigned (?) ageing baby-boomers in safe family territory outlook yet. Here's how I cope, one day all sexy women will get old... but never invisible. © Lisa Taylor 2005/6/7/8/9. Jeez.. so much for the 42 and-a-half delusion

17 February - One plus One & Halved?

It could be that, unless you smoke dope and stretch time, everything happens so much faster? You cover all the stages of relationships at a rate of a month in a week sort of thing? Like that movie 'Me, and You and Everyone We Know' by Miranda August? so that you can arrive at splitting up a mere few weeks after you get together with someone? I'd like to perhaps go one further and split up on first date and then work it backwards? Like Francois Ozon's film '5x2' or '10x4' - I don't remember now and too lazy to go cross reference on google.
Anyway, think I have split up - interesting use of language as it's not just splitting up two people but achieving a sort of split with self and one part of you is operating fine and dandy, the other one is at home crying under the duvet? 's bad. Then again if I do the bad/sad stuff at the beginning of the year, there's a whole er, rest of the year to look forward to? Don't even think he realised it? Men can be a bit dense when you're on the end of a phone sort of close to tears and saying 'So what do we do then? You ok if we let this one go then?' Ok, I see my language wasn't very clear either. Maybe you have to draw diagrams? A stick insect version of you with an arrow walking in one direction and one of his stick insect going the opposite way?
