The Weird

Okay, at this time I was actually asleep.  This is an acknowledged back post.  If I had been awake, though, this is exactly what I would have had to tell you…

(Supposedly) Schizophrenic Assertions:
1.)    Someone else is still putting voices in my head.  It is NOT comforting.  It makes concentrating on everything difficult, particularly conversations.  I am prone to giggling at them when they sound like morons… or embarrass me.
2.)    People are keeping secrets from me.  Yeah, well, I would like to tell you what THE ENTIRE WORLD doesn’t want me to know.  However, you are all successful.  I don’t know what I don’t know.  (How is that for a spin on an old turn of phrase?)  I just know that there is information to which I am not allowed access, and what I don’t know is already hurting me.
3.)    Celebrities and celebrity look-a-likes stalk me.  Well, that is all self-explanatory, isn’t it?

And people wonder why I still take my anti-psychotics.  It isn’t just so the LSD in the water supply will make me fall asleep.

Major Projects I should be Working on Every Day:
1.)    The Kalevala— I recently assigned myself to make a public domain recording of a (public domain) translation of the Kalevala for LibriVox.org.  It is a fabulous epic adventure through a fairy tale Finland that never was.  If I really plan on recording all fifty runes in now less than a year, I really need to get one of my more voluptuous body parts in gear.
2.)    Finding a Literary Agent— I figure that if I send a query letter everyday, I should find an agent somewhere for my creative writing.  I need all the help I can get at finally getting myself published.
3.)    The Creative Writing Itself— My current list of works in progress include my first television pilot, two still unfinished novels, my third and now fourth volumes of memoirs, my children’s fairy tale, a young adult fiction about candy engineering, and my first feature length screenplay.
4.)    Singing— I know, I know.  Who put that devil of an idea in my head?  Singing?  Really?  It’s the last thing anyone with an academic background should ever want in their future.  Pursuing a career in music?  Really?  That’s about as logical as moving to LA to become an actress.  However, I have found that singing, beyond being something I do in the privacy of my own home as a form of therapy, is sort of fun.
5.)    Independent Research into Global Climate Change— Now, this is something that an academic background is meant for.  If humanity is going to survive, we need to make major changes.  We need to know what we’re up against from the cosmos at work, and we need to start as soon as possible.  “Be fruitful and multiply, so evolution can see us through!” will only get us so far.


After finishing my back post above, I wrote the following blurb this morning as the ending to my third volume of memoirs…

     I adopted wearing a particular flower in my hair a few months ago.  I always said it was in honor of Johnny Depp, my personal symbol of inner beauty.  Now, this white silk orchid is a symbol for what I assume would happen if ever I and that Mr. Johnny Depp should ever converse.  This flower is a symbol of the end of waiting.  Johnny Depp will be my bringer of truth.
     Yes, right now I still wait.  I wait for the truth.  I wait for the end of my externally imposed ignorance over why I was forced to endure so many tortures.  I wait for the knowledge to keep myself safe.  I wait, I wait, and I wait.  And I wait with a flower in my hair.


And THAT is everything I would have told you, if I would have been awake.
