I really should write down jokes as I hear them. I have the worst memory. Just today I put the cookies in the oven went to sit down and a couple minutes later I ask my mom if the stove was preheated. She said yes, so I went to go put the cookies in the over and they were already in there. I am fucking awesome.
I went to Todd's yesterday to hang out before the other two boys arrived. We watched Battle Royale. He fucking loved it, quote on quote.
There was this part where all the army went trotted to their trucks at once and I said, "Shotgun!" He didn't laugh and I felt unfunny. Dammit, I won't stand for it.
Anyway. Once the boys arrived, Todd introduced us to his neighbors apartment which had been cleared out. I was the last down the stairs and I turned off the light on the stair which I thought was the last one. I was wrong. I nearly broke my nose when I almost fell on my face. A big "OOOMMMPH" exited from me. Haaaaaa.
Anyway, Todd opened up to me about his marriage and I am very glad he did -- not that there's trouble in paradise, just how he can open up to me. I like to be approachable sometimes. Anyway, my lack of knowledge to the relationship pool is awful. I finally realized how unrequited with love I am. I need to get in the game, don't I?
Marina stopped on her way home from church to say hi. I was initially going to wait outside for her to wave as she passed, but she one-upped me. Ha, this reminds me when she and I were eating on campus the other day and I didn't "Not look at these girls she pointed at the right way." I told her, "Marina, you're best friends with a dorky white girl, gtfo it."
Ha.
She saw me in my "doing a 3,000 word research paper and I'm slouchy look." I'm surprised she didn't go blind.
Wrote another poem for class. We had to use "When the Clouds Break." I feel it's cliched for "when the clouds break" but it ended being that way. OH THE FUCK WELL, BITCHES.
When the Clouds Break
When the clouds break,
they have me in smiles
It’s the funny way
They have shapes:
Dinosaurs,
Food,
Faces,
Blobs
When the clouds break,
sometimes the mean ones
Dark and menacing,
Have the most to offer.
The more I smile
The grayer they become
When the clouds break, I
am finally able
To see the sky
The sun hidden,
Its rays like arms
Trying to push
The funny cloud away
When the clouds break,
there are shadows
Sliding under my feet
Slipping away behind me
Even with all the shapes
I find myself looking
down
When the clouds break,
there is clarity
Now and then the shapes
Glide above me
As if the clouds mimic
earth
Finding it just as funny
Maybe it's just me, but I've found the less time you spend in relationships the more people come to you for advice about them. Maybe I just so much time watching and listening that I take the time to understand the situations that people find themselves in.
ReplyDeleteAt any rate, I need to watch Battle Royal (isn't that a book?) or something, I'm currently reading a Song of Fire and Ice (I refuse to watch the show or any show that's a book before I read the book).
Yeah, I've noticed that gut I haven't been in a relationship since I was 16-years-old. People want to believe I have some insightful intake and I feel bad that I don't.
ReplyDeleteYes, it was a book. You should purchase it from half.com. It's half the price! I should take up ad servicing. Haha. In case you ever do read it, Kiriyama is my favorite character/crush since that Paul man in Misery. I think that was the protagonist's name.
(sorry, I meant to comment earlier than this, but I kept forgetting and my iPad and shit won't comment on here -- I know, I know, crap.)
Haha I've certainly gotten into a horrible habit of having a crush on a fictional character (GO SUPER NERD STATUS, but it's what ever, I dig it), but I think there's a silver lining to that when people become emotionally invested in a story or character, it's my belief is that they reflect someone in our life that hold dear to us or just fill that gap of desire and it really helps make us feel happier. I could babble on and on about that though and I have.
ReplyDeleteYeah I'll have to check that out, normally I like to have the physical thing in my hands though. I'm currently reading The Last Goodbye.
I agree. However, with Kiriyama, I have no idea what I would want to be or the person I want with that one. Maybe I like the confidence of a badass. The strong and silent. Who knows...
ReplyDeleteThe Last Goodbye sounds like a Nicholas Sparks' novel.
