Mmm. Right on cue, I am suffering from Holiday Syndrome!
Like last time - the world trip - Holiday Syndrome has struck after three weeks of eating abnormally, and, also like last time, I now have an extreme aversion to pastry. Hell, at the moment I have problems being in the seem room as cooked pastry. Holiday Syndrome can be classified as thus - Not Enough Vegetables, characterised by cravings for said vegetables and also fresh fruit. To top it off I am extremely tired all the time, which didn't happen last time, probably because last time I at least got some large servings of vegetables. But right now I really want to go and sit in a greengrocer's and eat all their carrots like some kind of mutant Bugs Bunny.
Today we had Christmas - and hence huge family dinner - Number Three (one with Juliette's mum's family, one with Juliette's family, and one with Juliette's dad's family) and I felt really rude because I was so tired and also couldn't stand the sight of food that wasn't the clementines at the end. I forced myself to eat a bowl of soup (Which was, by the way, the best. Soup. Ever. Tasted like Vegemite. Vegemite soup.) and tried to keep from throwing up, which made me feel even worse because they'd gone to so much effort to make a really nice meal. Similarly, I didn't go to Juliette's friend's party last night because I was feeling so bad and didn't believe one whit that loud music and smoke and staying up really late would help the situation, but I'm pretty sure she thought I just didn't want to go, even though it was one of the big things we were going to do together (the others being New Years and Disneyworld, which I had better be better for). I am the world's worst correspondant. But Juliette's cousin has a room full of kick-arse composing equipment and he and Juliette's uncle jammed along to Coldplay and also the cousin did magic tricks. That was pretty cool.
I'm very sorry for being so whingey. French people don't seem to understand this and I have no-one else to tell at the moment. They just think I need to eat meat, that I need to wear more clothes (??? I was cold for like one day out of the 21 so far) or that I'm anorexic, which makes me upset. Don't worry, I'm still having a good time. We're going to Montmartre tomorrow.
