mood: jaded
music: 'teardrop' by massive attack
i think saturday's going to be norm's night from now on. i went there by myself tonight to have my customary hot beverage. in this night's case: tea. and although the tea wasn't very good, what attracted me towards it wasn't really the taste, but rather the temperature. hovering between lukewarm and scalding is where i like it.
been feeling ignored as of late. the fact that i went to norm's alone tonight is evidence of that. there's always two sides to everything, though. this time, the silver lining was (as always) a boost in self-reflection and especially in my sense of random creativity. and let me stress the part about random. case in point: my two new bracelets. on my right wrist is my own gray, waterproof masterpiece: three rolled up and braided strips of duct tape made to form a classic example of neo-kitsch 'jewelry'. wrapped around my left wrist is one of man's greatest tools in the fight against hunger. 'donated' by the good people from norm's 24-hour diner, i unveil to you the stainless steel magnum opus of mankind, assigned to decorative duties on my wrist: a fork. it took me a while, but i managed to bend the fork enough to resemble a retarded ellipse around my wrist. if everything i'm doing is subconsciously for the purpose of drawing attention to myself, i think these two new additions to my wardrobe will succeed in reeling in the comments and compliments.
soon, i'll miss being the sensible one. maybe tomorrow.
