Today in real life I am in pain. A good pain, though. A day-after-working-out / I'm-going-to-feel-this-in-the-morning kind of pain. I regret nothing, except perhaps the way my friends stare at me whilst I peel the stickered labels off of anything and everything I purchase. I'm not entirely sure how this is at all related to the relentless burning sensation in my thighs, but I thought plucking something from my stream of consciousness would keep my mind off of aforementioned sensation, howsoever temporarily. Reading Kesey's
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest may help as well, although I can't be too sure. I was forced to invest $19.95 in overdue book charges and a membership renewal in order to borrow this classic piece of literature from the library. So much for trying to improve the quality of my life by exchanging PDF files for the supposedly romantic ideal of reading from physical copies. I knew reality was overrated long before I felt the aged, fragile pages of a $20 rented book feather gently across my fingertips; I just hadn't properly come to terms with the fact until I was rendered penniless by yearly charges and back-fees. The thieves!
Today on the internets my irrational fascination with concept art has lead me to irrationally lust for
things which I cannot afford right this minute. [Thieves, I say!] I thank the Lord in heaven the item's back-ordered or I would have been far too tempted to put it on my credit card, and continually trusting yourself to charge things now and pay them off later, my dear friends, is how debt is formed.
Today in fiction my mind became stuck in Ryuuzaki's over-analyzing character and I ruined(?) the ending of
Donnie Darko for myself. A plane crash and its circumstances were written completely out of a plotline, yet the war-esque visuals from the protagonist's POV were stored, to be used at a later point in time. Academy Student Uzumaki Naruto finally has a female peer involved in his life who isn't a complete douchebaguette, and Rorschach is scolding me in my head for procrastinating his fanfic update. Frightening sentence fragments are frightening.
