Realising that thinking I’d be happy to never talk again when I read “the thing about jellyfish” at age 11 and “so much to tell you” at age 12 was probably not normal…
Look who is back on Tiktok to cure your Monday blues? Yes, it's Luke Arnold! This time he's reading Tomorrow When The War Began by John Marsden (not James, took me while to google) for First Page of Pajama Party.
I can't understand how people can use words so casually. They talk without thinking: they open their mouths and the words run out like water from a tap. I used to be like that once. Now I've learnt that words are precious, dangerous things.
I can't describe the feeling when I go down – it's down down down and there's never going to be an up again. And whatever was good isn't good any more; white becomes grey, music becomes dictionaries, honey becomes beer and the sky a curdled lemon. There's no caramel any more.
