The Sick Oyster ([info]fhoshingin) wrote,

i span too many topics to choose a subject line. really. chapstick->decor->Janes->harrypotter.

my lips are chapped. too lazy to get up and find my chapstick though.

I wanna paint my room.
I inherited it from some 5 year old and it's all done up in cloud wallpaper.
bleagh
so I'd paint it except for the fact that I'm one of the laziest people you will find on earth.
I'm also a packrat and have too much stuff.
so to move everything OUT of my room, including gigantic furniture and piles of clothes is really too much work for me.
instead I cover the uglyness in posters and pictures and posters turned upside down so the white side shows.
cover those in thoughts and writing.
yeah, it's still ugly, but at least I can say it's my fault.

I have nellie mckay(is that how you spell it?) stuck in my head.
today I listened to some cd's i rarely listen to.
so if you're bored. ask me for some music. always glad to help people realize that their favorite radio station does not equal all the music in the entire world.
Specifically I listed to the Dear Janes today. They've got some good music. I have their cd... no skin I think it's called. or at least something-skin.

I went to the library today. Read a book on Sleight of Hand. learned some card tricks. I'm really bad at them.
And will probably forget them soon. but hey. I know some.

uh- if I were you, I probably wouldn't read this journal. so, don't feel guilty.

I would try to say something intelligent to try to get this post out of the 'a waste of my time' category. but uh. no luck.
instead I'll blabber.

I'm so gullible.
so stupid for believing the things I believed.
I... it all started...

I read a lot.
I read enough so that i stopped thinking of myself as a person. and started thinking of myself as a character in a book.
thinking things like, 'oooh, this would make an exciting plot twist! if I developed this disorder!'
seriously. that was scary.
so I got into a fantasy trend, you know, harry potter and terry goodkind and all. (wow, those two definitely at opposite ends of the spectrum)
and you know those kind of stories (harry potter, more so than terry)
where the main character finds out- that they're not a normal loser kid like everyone else on the planet- not at all! but a fairy, or a wizard, or adopted, or a witch.
where the hero/ine finds out 'ha- I was right all along, I really don't belong here. I'm special!'
so the kids who read these books (me) think. hey! me too! I'm special! that could happen to me!
I'm not really just another face in a crowd of billions... I'm secretely an elf princess!

except. that's not true. there aren't leprecauns living in your backyard, waiting for you to come outside at midnight.
this is it.
this is life.
you don't have a fairy godmother.
get used to it.
of course how many kids are stupid enough (like me) to believe that could happen to them.
this is rare, right?

right?

on an entirely different note, my punctuation sucks. not to mention my grammar, spelling, and other such technical bits of the english language i have no skills in (like creating mindless run-on sentances for one?) if it bothers you a lot. well. sorry. i actually did just go through it was capitalized all uncapitalized I's.
hey. it's a start.

i think everyone in the town could be able to listen to your music for a month, especially if you keep up the habit of just buying random cds! anyway, i must admit, now that you say something, i have always at least wanted to be like the characters in the books. i used to wish that someone would come to me and grant me wishes and stuff like that. alot of it was in my dreams, though........but i still love you no matter what strange things you read about! haha

On wallpaper...

You could, perhaps, draw frownie faces on the clouds. Then, when people visit and say, "Why are the clouds sad?" and you can say, "They don't like me. They say it's because of my attitude that I get picked last in dodgeball all the time." Then stick your tongue out at the clouds, as though they vex you.

That'd be pretty cool. People who don't get it, though, might think you a bit tetched.

Re: On wallpaper...

ooh that would be scary. a hoard of unhappy clouds confronting me each day. but also, yes, an interesting conversation piece. It certainly would be better than old 6th grade pictures of classmates or bad patriotic decor.
