Signs

[squirmelia]

I wandered around London, looking for signs and reading the words on them, thinking about how they could be changed to be more empathic or to give reasons as to why people should do them.

Signs I saw included:

"If any child is seen disfiguring these walls by chalking or writing upon them, the police will be communicated by telephone. By order."

"Bicycles attached to these railings will be removed."

"I'm dreaming of a white Christmas, but if the white runs out, I'll drink red!!!"

"Be aware! Open excavation. Cable ends. Trip hazard."

"We should be somewhere in London. We could be loving our life in the rain."

"This entrance must be kept clear."

Signs I didn't see:

"This entrance must be kept clear, as dragons may appear without warning, breathing fire."

That evening, I had drinks with froodthehoopy.

Then later that night, I winked at the moon.

It needs to be mentioned-

I love reading your livejournal posts.

It sort of stirs the fairies in my inner worlds.

Well said!

Thanks!

I am attempting to write LiveJournal entries again more regularly now, as I found that I quite enjoy reading my old entries, so I am mostly now writing again so that my future self has something to read.

Also, I find that writing about what I’ve been doing makes me feel better, and like I actually did do some things and life is okay really. :)

I saw a sign with a graffiti'd "Why?" at the end, years ago, and was mentally appending it to all signs for a while.
