to pretending to be furniture. I think it's it's something I've just loved

doing all my life and it stems from you know one sort of Christmas my aunt

Rosemary sat on me accidentally - she didn't mean to - and I was frightened

and horrified at first but you know the more that I've sort of recalled and

remembered it, I wish she'd do it again.

I have to do it, it's a compulsion. I'll be doing you know the washing up - some sort

of regular you know day-to-day activity and I'll remember that I just love being

furniture and I have to just - have to do it.

My name is Nova. I am Olympia's... let's say life partner. Olympia is addicted to

taking on the roles of various pieces of furniture. Well, we live in a very small

apartment. I just don't understand how she thinks I don't know. She - I don't

think she - she has no idea I am very aware of this... I don't want to say sickness

Hobby? Perhaps? Um, when you're standing with a lampshade on your head

that's not inconspicuous. I can't explain it. I don't expect anyone to understand

it. I just fucking love it. You know an armchair, a chaise lounge. You know I'm there.

It's getting to the point now where it's really affecting - affecting me

and I'm... you know... I don't know how I'm going to tell my family and my friend.

I've got this wonderful partner Nova and she has no idea that I do it.

You're not incognito I can see that you're standing there with a lampshade on your head.

I'm yet to bring this to her attention though, I'm, I'm - I'm worried about what

it would be like for our relationship if I brought this up with her so as - as of

right now she doesn't know that I'm - I'm aware of this.

Um, so, I mean, I've brought you here today... I just, um, I have something to tell you, Nova.

It's... it's kind of a big deal, I suppose. It's kind of hard for me to say this. Um

-What? -I am addicted to being furniture. -Oh for fuck's sake -Um, it's something you know I've had to

battle with for a very long time and I know that you never suspected

you've got no idea -Oh I know about the furniture thing that you do.

-No you don't know. You have no idea. -You do this, this thing... -Basically what I do is...

-where you pretend to be furniture -I pretend to be furniture -no you don't know you don't - let me just finish please.

Do you honestly think I don't know?!

I'm sorry I can't. I'm sorry. I'm just addicted to being furniture.

I feel it, I am it. I am that armchair. We already have so much furniture what else

could she possibly turn in to?

Sometimes I feel like she wants me just to sit on her.
