I think Avery was right; I think Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal" does
have, perhaps, the best bassline ever written.
Hmmm. Always tempted to include links to people and things I talk about,
but don't. I mean, people; that's probably an invastion of their privacy
(plus few of my friends are lame enough to have webpages). And stuff,
well...when I start writing html tags into my diary while I'm writing it,
that's when I KNOW I need help.
Another entry being entereed laying down, not looking at the screen, and
not knowing if I'll fall asleep before or after I say something
worthwhile. Who cares, though. Better to let my brain flow out here than
to ignore it. I really should do this daily, just for the practice of
getting my thoughts out. I had trouble with my writing tonight. I wanted
to write something new, but instead, I just went through what I had and
revised. I definitely made some worthwile revisions, but it isn't the
same thing. Almost feel like I need a creative partner. I can write
all the poetic dialogue (ha), and they can come up with interesting
things to be going on, situations to put the characters in. I keep trying
to draw on my own experiences, and so right now, the characters are at
Lyon's at 2am. D'oh.
I think I'm really starting to get a feel for who the characters are,
though. In large part because I'm figuring out what parts of different
people I know IRL they're being modled after, but it feels good to really
get the characters to be distinct indivituals, instead of all simply
mouths for me to speak out of. Not that they aren't, but . . . arr. They
shouldn't SOUND like they are, they should sound (and act, and seem,
whatever) like different people, albeit with shared traits.
Why is it that whenever girls are interested in me, I always end up
indifferent towards them, wheras whenever I'm interested in a girl, she
doesn't even want to talk to me? Hmm. I'm sure a lot of it is the
"seaweed is always greener" deal, but. . . Well, that's not true. I was
interested in Cathy, and that turned out ok (at least to start out with);
she turned out to be inetested back! And that was just recently. "See,
you're always so busy complaining about what you're missing, you never
look and see all the things you have!" Hmm, I hate not knowing exact
quotes. Yayswingers.
FUCK! birds are chirping. I should really get to sleep.
he had a lot to say
he had a lot of nothing to say
we'll miss him
