whoa. my kids would be so excellent.
i'd be like: "you stealin' ma music" and they're like: "yeh." and i'm like: "yeh thats cool. you aint listnin to the crap." and then we're all like: "cool." and then my wife would come in and we'd be a happy family. dammit, i'm fantasising about a bright future. this actually brings on a slight strike of anger when i think that bastard politicians are working very hard to ensure that the future is a dystopian nightmare. i bet you'd never hear that from a fifteen-year-old. ... ... ... i need a little lie-down now.

My father does that all the time, too. Though I haven't been reading as much lately. I used to bring a book to the restaurant, and read after I was finished eating. Or walk home early, while my parents stayed, if the restaurant was close to our home. -

Okay I'll just adopt you both. My favorite thing to do used to be to sit out in the yard or in the woods to read. I sometimes still go outside and read while drinking a whiskey and Sundrop(Sundrop is a localized soda that has a tons of citrus in it and makes the best mixer in the world) and enjoying a good cigar.

At one time, I used to practically scare my parents with my reading material. "365 Days" "Guns" "The Encyclopedia of the World's Armoured Vehicles" "The Armoured Fist" etc. etc.
They would say "Can't you just read nice books?" My reply in argument would be "I'm studying history." They simply couldn't understand my interest in contemporary mechanical weaponry.

My Mom has stated in recent years that she found sending me to my room and not letting me watch television to be an ineffectual punishment because I was perfectly happy to read a book instead.

Also, AG Community Blog, I have to say that it makes me very, very happy that there are introverted bookworms just like me here on these forums. I want to hug them all.

To my blogling,
It's 11 PM on Christmas Eve. I'm sitting on my relatives' couch, puttering away at my laptop. Most of my family went to church, so now it's relatively quiet. My brother and his cousin were just playing guitar earlier. It was kind of nice, but I'm kind of glad they stopped. I've been having too much of a noise overload this evening, to tell you the truth. I've never liked loud noises, or loud music for that matter. Not even when I was a teenager. Does this mean I was born old? I also feel strange because I didn't care about getting Christmas presents this year. I just couldn't think of anything I wanted that I couldn't just up and buy for myself. And then there's the whole anti-commercialism thing. The whole preferring to just enjoy being around family and having a nice time sentiment. Two Christmases ago, my boyfriend at the time berated me for not getting him a Christmas present. I protested that the calendar I bought him earlier that month with the Dali paintings of nekkid women was his Christmas present, but seeing as he had gotten me something more expensive, I guess he expected something else from me. Oddly, I forget exactly what his present was. We broke up that April. Go figure, eh? Last Christmas was the most depressing Christmas I've ever had. I was lonely as hell, but I kept it all inside, not wanting to needlessly annoy anyone. I thought about ridding the world of myself, since it didn't feel like I was really all that important to anyone anyway, but somehow decided against it. This year, I've reverted to my default state of just not giving a damn. It feels rather nice, actually. Hope you and the rest of your friends have a lovely day, Me

Dearest Aggie:
Tonight, I failed to complete the card I've been promising, though I made some great progress. My wife and I opened our presents to each other while Genesis played in the background. A weird way to celebrate Christmas, but it seemed to work out. I'm up late, really, because I miss someone, and am struggling to put that feeling away so we can go to sleep. My wife went to be a good hour ago, but I remain, anxious and uncertain about myself and my plans for the future, and just wanting to sink into something passionate and artistic and unforgettable. I hope you are well, and that you feel loved this year. Because you are. Just thought you should know. |
