If what every other blogger has told me so far about their readership/hits/incoming links are true, I've got to be one of the most unpopular bloggers this side of a potato. Either that, or I'm just grossly misunderstood.
Yeap, I think it's grossly misunderstood. It's impossible not to like me, lolz.
Here's an interesting university application essay question: You have written a 300 word autobiography. Submit page 271.
*blank*
In all my books, page 271 is a blank page. It's spacing.
Again, it comes to haunt me. The fact that there's nothing outstanding about me except my writing skills. And even then, I'm not among the best. It may seem so right now, because I'm surrounded by mostly mediocre writers, but in this new, rather limitless, environ, I'm not. I'm horribly ill equipped to amuse, entertain, shock, dismay, upset, piss, or even raise any amount of interest from people who read my writing. And I blame it all on my lack of deeprooted suicidal depression.
Interesting to note, I'm liable to fall back into that mode really soon, for reasons I cannot fully explain, nor am I likely to.
I think I'm becoming normal. As in, I fit into a stereotype now. What it is, I don't know. But I do know that people are out there with almost exactly the same public profile. And I detest that. And somehow, I also adore that fact. I want to be popular, and at the same time, I don't. I want to be accepted, but I want to be ostracized. I want to be loved, and also to be hated. And worse of all is that I want these things all from the same people.
Right now, I'm quite obsessed with increasing the overall desirability of my person. As in, sexier, brainier, richer. Not too sure why myself. I bet it's the sadistically twisted part of me that wants this. I want to be so deliciously attractive that it's basically impossible for the majority to turn away. And then, in one cruel twist, I make myself insanely unattainable. Unavailable. Off the market. But open to browsing.
In all outright honesty, I can say I could get laid if I wanted to. Question is, do I want to? Given the choice of a thousand bucks worth of chocolate and an hour of good hot, mindblowing sex, I'd take the chocolate. It seems that the core being of me still refuses to be conventional, so much so I'd give up what basically all guys (gay, straight, holy, horny, whatever) undeniably want. All of this just to be different? Wanting to be different isn't too unique these days. Neither is following the crowd. But therein lies the paradox, and it's annoying being confused.
Sometimes, I wish this blog had better feng shui. Maybe just more readers, enough to be a minor celebrity. But that wouldn't be good, in a way. I've already lost a whole whoopass a lot of my old self trying to get that tiny bit of fame. And worse, failing miserably at it. And worst of all is the knowledge that I don't really want any of it for the sake of itself, but because other people have it. And that, blatantly, is being like everybody else.
It's times like this I wish that I was still in a relationship. But in the viewing of the retrospect, I noticed that I've done nothing to deserve what I got, I did more to NOT deserve it, and it's probably hell to be attached to me.
The road to Hell is paved with Good Intentions. It must be a really good brand, considering the heavy traffic Hell must receive.
I've let other people run my life, despite saying I obey no one. Maybe it's in not listening I'm playing right into their trap. Maybe it's time to make my own traps, get caught in my own pits, fight my own battles, die my own deaths. Or maybe it's just time to let go of everything I believe in, submit to the majority, let the world lose another spark, let the flame of another candle smother, silence another word in the vast dictionary, or bury that last pet you forgot to feed. You can say it in so many ways, but the truth is painful nonetheless.
I guess that Tuesday is sort of D-Day for me. I know it normally would not affect me in any other way, but I'm not in my normal state of being. I'm on another verge of self destruction, and as with always, it grows each time. And this time, I may not survive.
And to think, I just might die a virgin. Anyone want to come change that?
Life is so bleak, it's ALMOST beautiful.
Meh.
