I watched the spinning starts, grateful, sad and proud, as only a man who has outlived his destiny and realizes he might yet forge himself another, can be.Roger Zelazny, Isle of the Dead

Gledao sam zvijezde koje su se vrtjele, zahvalan, tužan i ponosan, kao što može biti samo čovjek koji je proživio svoju sudbinu i shvaća da bi si mogao skovati novu.Roget Zelazny, Otok Mrtvih

These photographs were taken in front of my old elementary school. I used to be always late for class, despite the fact that I lived only 100 m away from the school. We were all late- all the little girls from my building because we would always wait for Neta- and she never got anywhere on time. Have you always noticed that in any group of young girls, one of them is always a princess (or perhaps better said a queen)? Fortunately, not very often does this reign results in something negative, as described in the Cat's eye (one of those novels that have become a part of me and I almost feel like I've lived trough all of that myself). Most of the times, it's just kids stuff and the source of funny story to be remembered and retold many many times.

It is strange feeling going by your old elementary school- those days are so vivid in memory yet somehow very remote. For the last week or so,  I have had this feeling that I have suddenly aged ten years, so maybe it is appropriate that I feel like examining some old memories. Funny how the early memories stay with us. As Margaret noticed (in the novel) often we forget those memories in our teen years but they all come back to us with time, perhaps more so as we get older.

Ove fotografije su snimljenje ispred moje stare osnovne škole. Uvijek sam kasnila na nastavu, iako nisam živjela ni sto metara od škole. Sve smo kasnile, sve djevojčice iz moje zgrade jer smo sve čekale Netu koja nikad nije stizala nigdje na vrijeme. Jeste li primjetili kako u svakoj grupi djevojčica ima jedna koja je uvijek princeza (ili bolje rečeno kraljica)? Srećom, ta vladavina rijetko ima negativne posljedice kao što su opisane u brilijatnom Cat's Eye (koliko znam nije preveden kod nas još pa nema smisla da prevodim naslov kad ne znam kakav će biti, roman je meni bio odličan baš mi se urezao u psihu imala sam osjećaj).Većina vremena, to su samo dječje igre i izbor smiješnih priča kojih ćemo se sjećati i prepričavati ih puno puta.

Čudan je osjećaj prolaziti kraj stare osnovne škole, ti dani tako živi u sjećanju, a ipak tako udaljeni. Zadnjih tjedan dana, imam neki osjećaj da sam ostarila deset godina odjednom, tako da je možda prikladno da imam potrebu prekapati po starim sjećanjima. Čudno je kako rane uspomene ostaju sa nama. Kao što je Margaret u romanu primjetila često ih zaboravljamo kao tineđeri ali sve se one vraćaju sa vremenom, možda sve više kako smo sve stariji.
