Dear Myra, please stop listening to xx and drawing moustaches

I've listened to the album near daily for about two weeks now! It was then that I finally gave it a listen, but I was only enthusiastic to give music more attention to keep my mind off of Steve. Unfortunately, though I feel the album is near perfect, thus listening to it so often, the association of the album with the situation, the timing, makes me sad whenever I listen to it. And even more so when the lyrics fit with strong memories or the situation itself! This, I think, should be a reason encouraging The xx to hasten the production of a new album.

As for the moustaches, ha! I was so impressed by the concept of a moustache party that drawing moustaches has become my way of dealing with stress. When Aaron and I were apart I was determined for him to take it up to. I sent him a photo of a moustache I drew on my shoulder, that would be covered by my t-shirt, cos I thought it'd be a neat gift: for the boyfriend to know of something hidden underneath his girlfriend's clothes (however daft it is!). Recently, I've drawn several moustaches on myleft arm (because I'm right-handed) and on my phone, but, to my dismay, they never turn out symmetrical. I always draw the right side first and always prefer its shape to the left side of the moustach, and I find that odd.
