lately, our forthcoming banters have been encapsulating how, previously, i had as many names as i had my temperaments. this is a story of two grammatically pedantic writers bent on self-destruction, gloriously happy in misery. oh, the folly of our youths! i thought it was bloody poetic, our self-destruction, it was beautiful. behold! oh behold the marvelous actor making his debut perfectly on cue, not missing a beat. i was bonnie; searching unconsciously for an identity. i had never settled on one, only to realize later it would be the only thing that kept me from the sandpits of stasis; only to realize sorrily later it would be the only thing that kept me aimlessly drifting. me: remind myself of the fraying threads of my old-pink curtain that refuse to remain at rest even in still air, always quivering and humming with the sounds of the smallest things. i'm a drifter. and so are you.

it's funny ain't it? how most people think the quickest way to turn their lives around is to change their environment. change their wardrobes. change hobbies. change hang out spots. get married. shift houses. get married again. shift countries. say goodbyes. get new hellos. change cliques. change jobs. change. and when all this is done, they wonder why they're still morose, why the bills still don't get paid, how come people still dislike them, why they are still short of cash with no money for lunch or coffee, why they still don't love themselves enough, why they still don't love life enough, why they still can't love; period. why they still have no money for movie dates. why the calls don't come anymore. why.

it is funny. it is funny how silly people are.

aside from international politics and people not having enough nuclear weapons, there is something drastically wrong with the world and that people are becoming more confused (notice how i didn't say stupid).

it is funny. it is so funny how silly people are.

hur. so so funny.
