I was sat at a desk which had "I <3 RYAN" carved into the side. I nodded my head, agreeing.
The entirety of my discipline, I had attempted to write a poem, and I struggled. I came up with beginnings and middles and endings, but I could never string any part together with another. They didn't fit. I felt as though I was too insincere, or that I really am just that awful of a writer. I wanted to write something pretty.
pretty girls should write
pretty wordsI was using a piece of graph paper I had taken from my friend's binder and I drew faces with a green pen. I had eventually taken to writing the alphabet in cursive, not even completing an ounce of any of the homework that I had to do.
When I finally exited the building and began my journey home on foot, I checked my phone for any messages. The first were from Ryan, telling me to check my e-mail. The second, was from a number I did not recognize, and the message read: I'm really sorry.
I have no idea who that was from or what they were sorry for, but I appreciate the compassion intended for whoever they were trying to send that message to. But I guess this is another experience where I need to learn that my opinion has very little effect or meaning to others. Neither does a text message.
I'm being positively brooding today, and I love it. I'm physically and mentally fatigued, and emotionally incompetent as usual. I suffered to be on the receiving end of a "your people" joke, and I about snapped, yet kept my response to a level, "I'm going to slit your throat." This was lost on the other party, as usual, because I am a comedian, and everything I say is a joke. That doesn't mean that I didn't feel every ounce of wanting to hold him down and press a razor blade against his throat Sweeney Todd style. Of course, I would regret it later, and I'm not sure I have the credentials to be able to hurt another human and feel no remorse. Nevertheless, I was pissed, as I usually come to be, when a lovely white hand pets my hair or I'm on the end of a racial joke. If only culture's ejaculate could spray its seed in my peers.
So on the list of things to do, I can check my 1984 test off. It wasn't too hard. Also, I got a B- on my AP Euro final, which isn't as credible as most over achievers would perceive it, but I am a professed under achiever, and for me, that was a valiant feat in conquering everything that has happened in Europe since the Bubonic Plague.
As a closing note, my friend and I played "Would You Rather" all day and one of the most memorable scenarios is me finger-fucking Shaquille O'Neal over swimming in John Goodman's waste.
How inspiringly vulgar.
I'll be off now, but I make no promises. I may return with a poem or two.
Cheers
