as requested by the only person who reads this.

I think I'll make it a long, and extremely boring post. Just to annoy.

Anyway, today I helped John move house. He has cerebral palsy, so he supervised from his wheelchair. It was kind of.. well, boring, but also almost felt like I was accomplishing something, which can be nice. And I had pizza for lunch. Pizza is always good.
Unfortunately, this was actually everything I did today. So the rest of the day was very, very dull.

So, it's going to be a list. and then a poem. and then we'll see.

things. to think about, do, remember. in the order i think of them.

  • Tomorrow I will go have drinks with Eric. At the botanical gardens, I think.
  • I will also top up my phone,
  • have a long shower (with Eric? I'm not sure.),
  • having topped up my phone, talk to people who don't talk unless talked to. Maybe Laurence?,
  • Tidy my room again,
  • accidentially break sallys bowling for soup cd.
  • and make two or three new characters.
  • come up with a very, very silly system for making the world a better place.
  • make the world a better place, Without using the system.
  • ask some people some really, really difficult questions. Aim to challenge their most deeply ingrained morals without actually offending them. Set out as if trying to convince them of something, but halfway through the discussion inform them that I was simply trying to make them think. Ask why they hadn't(or had?) thought about this kind of thing before.
  • Write a script for the movie I was considering. Make it cheesy and full of references to shakepeare, the bible, and Fooly Cooly.
  • Try and get someone to listen to something they probably shouldn't like. Maybe get Eric into Dimmu?
  • spend at least an hour trying to think my way through my situation, and come out of it with a smile and a plan.
  • Write some more poetry.
Speaking of poetry, here;

drift the whisper across
the red-wood table top.
they're waiting for you
don't think, don't pause

for some reason the metre suggests a rhyming couplet, so in some ways the 'pause' feels unnatural. This seems to work, but the rest is fairly generic. Any thoughts, anyone?

I think that counts as a post, doesn't it?

after now reading your reply to my comment on your last post i decided that you want a proper comment here. so here we go:
Firstly. I'm sorry to say that i didn't find this post boring or long. I actually found it rather ... interesting.

I happen to know that today you didn't go and have drinks with Eric. But oh wells.. you shall see him tomorrow.. Laurence is silly.
I don't know who bowling for soup are. But hey, if it makes the world a better place like ju says, then all is good.

You're rather slow at making new characters. So hopefully that shall amuse you for some while.. some while? i'll go to sleep in a mo..

Your room DOESN'T need tidying!! ><

Difficult questions such as what..?interesting... i'm rather intruiged. Mind.. i don't like answering so it better not be me. Oh no.. now it's going to be me isn't it? ahhhhb! -runaway!-

I thought there was no script...?
My computer is slow and stupid and it takes ages to download anythign and it hates FLCL :(

YAY SMILES! XD -hugs!-

i like the fact that it's a RED wood table. and whispers.. all seems rather mysterious [i'm falling asleep atm btw...]

and it's all about the phrasing... seeing as i'm a muso and all. And i rather like it. THe.. umm. what do you call it.Meter. It's unexpected. And.. kinda follows the words.
and i just realised that this comment is possibly as long as your "long, and extremely boring post".

so i shall leave it at that, because apparently i have to go to bed. Oh the joy.

Have fun m'dear. I might possibly come pounce on you tomorrow.
Tirrah.

I like stalkers. Stalkers make the world a better place :)
as for hard questions, do you think that necrophiliacs have the right to sexual gratification? (like everyone else, in theory) And can one give consent before one dies?

And I'm glad you like the poem :)
-hug-

Peter Owen said...

no, that's brilliant. I'll probably get around to arranging your death at some point XD (mmmm, corpse.)

no, not really.
you really are good at those :)

Peter Owen said...

A few more years? my patience is not legendary, unfortunately.
Ah well.
hm.. questions.. maybe I should actually post. but, questions...
give me a couple of days. (I don't think you have a choice, do you... XD)

Merry Christmas! XD
