Does Posting Lyrics Become More Valid When I Hand Write Them?

hearing: Iris - Goo Goo Dolls (it seems like this song was in my dreams last night...weird)
reading: The Invisible Man by H.G. Wells
feeling: nostalgic and utterly Chaotic...scattered...
a year ago today: FINISHED! FINALLY! It makes me happy...

Today and tomorrow, we begin reminiscing on the past, the roots of this diary and my then crappy writing. After tomorrow, we have to hold off remembering until October. Entries cease after tomorrow until then. I was lazy.

I guess you could say, all was lost. (Song For All Time from Joy Electric scribbled down in my messy handwriting)

And when they ask if I'm ok, I say "yes, great, thanks!"

And when they ask how I've been sleeping, I say, "Great, thanks!"

And when they ask how I've been eating, I say, "Lots, thanks!"

And when they ask how school is doing, I say, "Smoothly, thanks!"

And when they ask what I've been doing, I say, "Not too much, enough to keep me busy, thanks!"

And when they ask me if I'm lying, I say, "Wonderfully!!!! Thanks!!!"

Then I laugh it off and smile again.

Albeit stiffly and nervously.

With that said, well, I feel like I'm treading a circular path. Every time I think I've found the path that leads me out, it turns out to be a tiny loop which carries me right back into the same track I've been running the whole time. Life is dumb like that. I'm foolish like that.

Afterthought: Who is they anyway when no one is really around? ... Or when I'm not....
