slips and such

Written for theatrical_muse

So I thought a freudian slip was something italian women wore under their skirts. When I asked Will if that's what it was he laughed at me and then explained what it was. Told me this dumb joke about it and I think I know what it is now. Now that I think about it I don't know if italian women wear anything under their skirts. I had a lovely fling with a woman from Florence. Couldn't understand a word she said but we didn't do much talking while she was on her trip.

Anyway I guess a freudian slip is like when I say the word sex when I meant to say something else. Usually it's when I'm talking to Orli anyway so it's not like I embarrass myself but I've said dumb things before that made me blush. It's when I'm thinking one thing and not really concentrating on what comes out of my mouth. What makes me really laugh is when what comes out my mouth has nothing to do with what's on my mind. Totally out of left field as they say. Whoever they are.

Can it count as a freudian slip if you type something other than what you meant to say? I always thought that was just a mistake but maybe it's something more.

I don't know. I never pay much attention to this stuff.

white

70.08) White. A blank page or canvas. His favorite. So many possibilities... ("Sunday in the Park with George")

White is my favourite colour. I told someone that once and he told me it was boring. Like saying vanilla ice cream is your favourite. But I heard somewhere that vanilla isn't boring at all. It's supposed to mean someone's wild or some such. Can't remember exactly but it was the exact opposite of what people usually think. So I wonder if the colour white is like that. I'm too lazy to look it up though.

The reason I like it so much is because it's so pure and simple. It means something unspoiled or untouched. It's a virgin on her wedding day or a little baby about to be baptised. It's new snow and fresh milk and the foam on a crashing wave. I suppose I don't care if there's any hidden meaning behind why I like white so much. I just know I do.
