From now on this will cease to be a monologue, because that's too conventional and boring. So, until I get sick of it, live journal is now a dialogue between myself and my virtual self. It's kinda like when I'm taking a multiple choice test and there's a question such as:
What would be the best alternate title for this passage?
A: The Lone Gunman
B: Frog Soup
C: The Windy Road
D: How I Spent My Summer Vacation
And there is an argument inside my head that goes something like this:
1: Alright, the answer is "D."
2: Well you might be right, the author does talk about his summer in Budapest...
1: Yeah.
2: But the most important part of the story is on that windy road.
1: You're an idiot.
2: No, don't you remember?
1: Yeah you're still dumb.
2: OK, look, we can at least throw the first two out.
1: Glad you could figure that out. The Lone Gunman? Where the hell did that come from?
2: I dunno, Frog Soup's pretty off-the-wall as well...
1: Would you just put "D?"
2: No, wait. The climax was there on the road when the dog was going to fall into the ditch but then the narrator looked into his eyes and he came back. You know?
1: You know what? Whatever. It's been about a minute and a half and you haven't answered this bogus question. Just fucking put "C" then.
2: But I'm just... not sure.
1: You have a 50/50 chance-- hurry!
2: Alright, umm... Ok... "D!"
At this point I fill in the last oval incredibly dark, and may erase it once or twice...
Second person is going to do wonders for your creativity, Alex!!!
