• This morning a bird woke me up. It was a lark, or a peacock;
something like that. So I said hello. And it vanished, flew away, the
very moment I said hello! It was quite mysterious. So do you know
what I did? I went to my mirror and brushed my hair two hundred
times, without stopping. And as i was brushing it, my hair turned
mauve. No, honestly! Mauve! Then red. then some sort of a deep
blue when the sun hit it.... I'm twelve years old, and every day
something happens to me. i don't know what to make of it. When i
get up in the morning and get dressed, I can tell...something's
different. I like to touch my eyelids, because they're never quite the
same. oh, oh, oh! I hug myself till my arms turn blue, then I close
my eyes and cry and cry till the tears come down and I can taste
them. I love to taste my tears. I am special. I am special! Please
god, please, don't let me be normal!
