Completely Unintelligible (But Hopefully Still Intelligent)

Christ.

I have been fucking gone lately.
Completely checked out.
Not in right now, please leave a message after the tone.

Maybe it isn't the flu.
Maybe it isn't sickness of the body at all.

Maybe I am infirm in the mind.

Everyone Is Crazy Except Me (Minority Of One)

So my family and a whole tonne of people are making a big deal about provincials.

This makes absolutely no sense to me.

There goes most of my spring break. Fun. I get to spend it doing fuck all. I have to share a room with three people that I can generally only put up with ninety minutes at a time, separated by week long breaks. Everyone's acting like this is the zenith of their lives.

I'm not saying that it isn't. It could very well be the apex of existence for all of them. It isn't for me. I'd rather spend my spring break with a week of the house to myself.

What is it anyway, really? So what if we win? We get to go national. So-fucking-what? No money, no fans, no prize, no groupies. There is a prize, I guess. A little fucking crest. That's it. One. Little. Crest.

I was even presented with a wonderful situation. What if everything goes right? Well, if everything goes right...
-They will all be on the Olympics once every four years.
---I will probably watch them on the tele when that happens
------I might even get tickets and give them all high-fives. Even Charlie.
---------As per this, they will be famous once every four years. That's all well and good.
Still going on if everything goes right, here.
-I will be on TV every day on a successful sitcom or drama.
---I will probably also be in some movies once in a while.
------They will see me on the tele once a week for about an hour. And for about two hours in each movie.
---------As per this, I will be famous all the time.
-I will have written a few good books.
---They will probably like my books.
------I'll probably get on Ellen. Ne-ner ne-ner ne-ner.
-I might be in a stage production. In the between sitcom seasons break.
-Maybe I'll be a musician a little too.
---Yeah, that'd be nice.
-I will have lots of money.
-And fans.
-And groupies.
---Lots and lots of groupies.


Also.


I got in the play. Nobody cares. This is the one that matters to me. Provincials do not. Provincials are the one that everyone cares about. The play is not.
