I wore jackets whenever possible, to look older and smarter... my forehead bang-free, me skull's sheen. I became idiotic around attractive men, switching poles and winning an Oscar. They thought I didn't give a rat's. I gave a million rats plus one and wept. I blackened my eyes and still faked mystery. I was arrogantly exclusive and sat in an airless 1 foot cube, thinking myself quite content. I made sure to feel every one of my smiles, it's sinews flexing, made it perfect. I took myself entirely too seriously in the wrong situations. I was forced into great performances by other people. I never did anything for myself except refrain.
I hope I'm different now. I hope I can get through my own doings. Oh shit I'm fucked up and obviously so this time. I hope my promotion works out. I hope I retain some dignity. No more cutting onions in my mind.
Maybe I'm depressed.
Being alone is getting scary. More so than the fact that there is no time for such.

we seem to have similar interests... and there is a certain amount of fellowship created by living in the same country. I have glanced over your journal and find it, to a degree, compelling. I think it would be even more compelling to meet the individual behind the poetic waxings and linguistic cloaks. Check me out, add me as a friend if you're interested. Peace.
