Kids These Days Don't Know How to Move Slow

http://syndicated.livejournal.com/xkcd_rss/173016.html

I teared up. WTF is wrong with me?

At some point in time, I became convinced that all you really need in order to write a good story is the right notebook and the right location to work. This belief is so strong, that it has become extremely difficult for me to write when these conditions aren't met. I obsess endlessly over the notebooks I choose, making sure they are the right size and paper type. I waste so much time ambling the city, looking for new spaces in which to test my creativity. I obsess endlessly about what I put on the first page.

Right now I want a notebook with a roughly eight inch spine, hardcover, lined paper. Black. Undecorated. Not Moleskine. And I want a place I've never been to, where I don't know anyone. I'm such a long term creature of habit though that these mystery environs seem non-existent to me now, but really I'm not trying hard enough. A part of me wants a place with extreme emotional memory, but part of me is afraid of wallowing in those feelings.

More than anything though, I just want to write something. I want this miasma of emotion that's been eating away at me for years to spill out onto a page and stay there. In February, I am going to complete the first draft of 'How am I not Myself?'. My sanity depends on it.

Think I may have finally figured out why I'm so stuck on this issue. Adam reminds me of Phil only without my best friend's cunt gaping between us. Oh man. I'm such an idiot sometimes. How hilarious.

Today, I finished my year end recap. As those who've been with me a while know, I like to take stock of my life at then end of the year. Normally I write some piece about it but this year, that just didn't seem appropriate. Instead, what I've done is make a mixtape. It is a double album that tracks my emotions throughout the past year in the face of the relationships that tangled up the empty space in my brain.

Side note, my favourite albums this year were:
Quadruple Dare - Vancouver Mutilation by FSRZ, Junior Major, Adjective and the Good News
Outer South by Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band
Dead Man's Bones by Dead Man's Bones

I greatly enjoy this fellow.

He dances all crazy-like with Erika and I at shows. It is a good time. He also makes very good musics and you should listen to him.

I've spent a lot of time listening to my local fab four lately and I've made a discovery that I find hilarious. 'Lack Lustre' by Junior Major is the perfect account of my failed affair. "tearing up my heart feels so familiar / oh I get my fill but I still feel let down, oh you get your fill but you still feel nothing / tearing off my dress feels so familiar / oh there may be lust but it doesn't get me, oh there is no us but I keep forgetting"

Too funny. Thankfully, I've remembered this lately. It feels good to have a clear view of things.

Dear self,

In the future, always remember: What would David Bowie do? And if that doesn't convince you, then ask yourself what Debbie Harry would do.

Yours,
Me

I found this on the first page of my first notebook from the term. It is for How Am I Not Myself?

--

Once upon a time, it rained and I walked out, face to the sky and eyes wet. Rain transforms the world. Sidewalks become obstacles, dirt becomes mud, colours darken and shift. Everything is weighed down and waterlogged, my clothes included. I blame the water in my shoes for the heaviness of my step.

Under these tall trees, sinister with their leaky roof, cold drops surprise the back of my neck and trap me in the echoes of their fall. I feel like I am somewhere else entirely, but I couldn't tell you where. Maybe I'm just really here but really here in more than the one sense. It's me and some other me walking together, in the same but not the same places.

Look how she runs ahead, her hair damp and curling as her shoes splash mud from the puddles. I wonder where she's going. Why is she here tonight, so sympathetic but so unconcerned?

Pisces Horoscope for week of December 3, 2009

White dwarfs are small and extremely dense stars. They're typically no bigger than the Earth but as heavy as the sun. You currently have a resemblance to one of those concentrated balls of pure intensity. I have rarely seen you offering so much bang for the buck. You are as flavorful as chocolate mousse, as piercing as the scent of eucalyptus, as lustrous as a fireworks display on a moonless night. Personally, I'm quite attracted to your saucy and zesty emanations, and I think most people with strong egos will be. But some underachievers with lower self-esteem may regard you as being more like astringent medicine. My advice: Gravitate toward those who like you to be powerful.

This is interesting to me because I had a conversation on Friday with someone that ran along the same lines. Neat-o...

So, school's almost done for the term. I wrote two finals today (four essays) and have my third and last final tomorrow (one essay). After that...I go stir crazy. I've got some reading, writing and art projects so hopefully I won't lose my mind entirely. Plus, I've got my Erika to keep me company.

Current favoured slang: cool story, bro *thumbs up*

Also, Erika and I are on the internets! That was taken on Friday at the Astoria. We went to see the WZRDZ and the Good News. I kind of like that if you airbrushed out my bra strap, you wouldn't be able to tell if I was a man or a woman and would probably assume man due to my shaved head.

Today, I wrote a short story companion piece to Pistons; specifically to the bath scene that opens the novel.

It clocks in at roughly 1,500 words and is partially inspired by 'anyone lived in a pretty how town' by e e cummings. Specifically, this part:

"noone loved [anyone] more by more/[...]anyone's any was all to her"

I recommend listening to The XX while reading.

I just want to say that I'm lonely. Why do I feel like I'm not allowed to?

• 10:36 @runycat The importance is stressed so much that I'm wondering if it is foreshadowing a circumstance that forces him to cut them out... #
• 10:36 @runycat I'm sure they're going to try other things, but I got a very sinister feeling. #
