If i look over my shoulder, very quickly, i can just see him ducking out of my view. I'll spin around to try and catch him, but he's always one step ahead of me. Still, i know he's there, regardless of whether or not i can see him.
You know the type; four googly eyes, a few stray tentacles, little claws - an attractive shade of jade. He's the lesser type of monster. The kind that is a paler shade of green, not yet a vibrant, radioactive type of green. He's got potential, but hopefully he's an under-achieving monster who will never fully apply himself.
Yes, i'm jealous. I'll admit it. Only a little, not a lot.
Things aren't going too badly; i've got some new uni friends, who call my name out, who say 'hello', who i can sit with in lectures. I don't have a total understanding of what i'm studying, but it could be lots worse. My job at stateswim is going fine. My job at church if full on and i'm making plenty of mistakes, but it's ok.
But i've got a few, just a couple, of teensy weensy jealousy issues going on. Very unpleasant. But, for now, except for the few moments when i can see a green, scaly claw snaking over my shoulder, i've got it under control... hopefully i can keep it that way!
