Of course, it all comes down to that. My Dad just came in and asked how my day was, I replied as usual like I do to everyone ‘good thanks’ unless I’m feeling in a particularly pissy mood and I break the reasons why I’ve not had a good day into little reasons why he’s ruining it.
But yeah, staying on the beaten track for now. Influence means a shitload. Not just people, but things. The whole ‘Seasonal Affective Disorder’ or, appropriately named, SAD, is true because the weather is there going ‘grr I’m scary, dark, big and ominous, and I’m going to make you look like a complete fucking fool by raining on you even though I enticed you into wearing the least amount of clothes as possible by making myself look sunny in the morning’. Maybe weather has moods. Though yes. Weather can influence us, though it can have the opposite effect, in that everyone’s suddenly got happier and you’re not affected by the weather, so by comparison you seem unhappier. Or You’ve spent too long in bed with the curtains closed during winter watching Secretary…
Right now, I can see the sun, I can see clouds, a fuckload of green, and there’s nothing I wouldn’t like more than the skies to turn the fuck-ugliest shade of grey-black and piss over this myriad of loveliness. Unfortunately now that everyone’s happy I’ve realised how unhappy I’ve been over the last few months, and what stupid mistakes I’ve made. Therefore today I will unravel myself instead of others, as I love to do. Bear in mind this isn’t to make You feel better, or that I think ‘it’ll be fine’ though worse people than You have scraped a 2.2 that I know of.
1) I see people as processes. They are nothing but complicated little machines that work in odd ways, and I don’t currently know why they’re all different. It’s odd in that I think more like a scientist with a crappy little human twinge. Many people don’t seem to get that if I can do it, you should fucking well be able to do it too, because you’re a human like me and you have the capabilities. That’s why whenever someone says I’ll pass with flying colours, that’s all well and good, but anyone could if they actually put their mind to it, or more annoyingly if they, like me, don’t need to try. People are other things that I steal off, fuck, use, insult when I’m annoyed, hurt, and ultimately drive away…though at the moment it seems I’ve got just the right amount of people crawling towards me and others who completely ignore me as I walk past, or do the stupid shouldery thing. Man I hate that shouldery thing, it’s both cowardly as I can’t sneak a punch in, and also mind-rapes you, just like with the egg. It’s the chase, not the catch, as I have undoubtedly explained beforehand at one point or another.
2) The world is taken as read unless it’s an anomaly. Again, people go ‘ooh a shooting star’. Very nice, it’s a construct of frozen nitrogen millions of years old oxygenating with the Earth’s surface, there to ‘protect us’ even though it’s just there, and humans are a result of it being there. People don’t think they are a consequence of everything and decide they came before the egg, but I will elaborate later. Anyway, yes, this lovely shooting stay just hit the atmosphere, just like around 100 at the same time as it and billions before it. I can’t appreciate the value of it because it’s always going to be there. The buttercups come out and I’m pretty awed though, I think it’s because of an emotional-physical memory or tie that I associate with painful or repressed memories and therefore I am drawn to them. Maybe that’s a different blogathing entirely, eh?
I can’t appreciate presents, because I can buy them. I appreciate presents even less when they’re fucking useless. I went through my baby Baptism presents a few weekends ago – I found about 50 bloody silver cups (which is tradition, I know) and 10 silver teaspoons. Now apparently I can’t use the teaspoons for tea, so that’s them wasted. However, I found a little gem – a Parker set including both the ink and ballpoint versions. I’m using them to this date, and I appreciate that David and Helen (whoever the hell they are) got me this for when I was older. 17 years and this present is finally uncovered to be used. The other guys got jack-all appreciation because they are stupid and paid for stuff I will never like and never use. I’ve rambled too much, which brings me to my point of selfish people.
3) I am a very selfish person and I pride myself on it. Others tend to hide it by saying they’re not. If they weren’t they’d move to Cambodia and sustain themselves (just enough) on renewable liquorice branches and pregnant cows. I hate to sound cliché, but everyone is very selfish and they need to realise it before they become me. The majority of people do shit-all to help the world, and that’s why it’s slowly going to shit. That’s why, dumbasses! (Along with the interglacial state mildly increasing the world’s heat before going into a 10-million-year freeze in what scientists call the Second Ice Age – look it up – I’m going to systematically disprove global warming when I have the time to You)
4) This is leading to something, and I’ve just realised it. People and events is all there is in the world, and if you understand (or at least can’t manipulate to your advantage) one of them, then you’re fucked. Lucky that You have the right idea by lying…even though not quite to the advantage, because You’re still trapped and I’m not (by my own will). 11 days and I’m feckin’ outta there, to examinise and temp until I have the money I need to essentially escape. I do not understand people. People do not understand people, which is lucky because I can still control them for now. I do, however, make the wrong mistakes. I ask someone out thinking they’re nice enough and fuckable, without thinking that I don’t actually give a shit about Drama or Biology or education in general, and I’d rather have a girlfriend where school isn’t a primary topic. I mean, come on, you just get out of school, and she wants to talk about it? The idea is one thing to another, a transition from boredom to something fun. Unfortunately, for some people it seems to be the same thing. Sucks.
I spend money too quickly on trying to control people then find out I didn’t need to. I spend money too quickly full stop, to be honest.
However, as the subject quickly turns from influence to me once more, I have my final point, and my final foible.
5) I don’t like to talk about myself. I am just like everyone else, why talk at all when the other person I’m speaking to would say the exact same thing? I’m beginning to learn this is what people call a connection, and ultimately can lead to conversation. This is a good thing because I get to know what people like. If anyone can explain the reason for me to tell others about myself other than to get me worthless presents (e.g. my ex gave me a ‘Conspiracy Theories’ book after finding out I was dab at the whole 9/11 conspiracy. For some reason I’ve never opened it. However, giving me a computer mouse and a blowjob was a lot more helpful…oh come on Firefox pull your finger out and include sex terms…)
I’m learning about myself too quickly and I don’t like the speed of this. However, the show must go on…
(Woah 1337 words!!!)
Until next time, and ffs don’t commit suicide. Your face is too nice, and I’ll have to put up with people telling me I shouldn’t be drunk at a funeral.
