Three things
Namely, Things That Are Wrong With The World, Cheap Philosophy and a Meme.
1. Things That Are Wrong With The World.
i. As my mate Stu's msn user name informed me, "The Crazy Frog is now releasing an album, and all is wrong with the world". Our subsequent msn conversation covers all bases, I feel.
Jess says:
all is indeed wrong with the world. that's shocking news.
Stu says:
i know, its really quite grim
Stu says:
'The Crazy Frog presents Crazy Hits'
Jess says:
you really can't begin to list the things wrong with that
Stu says:
i think you can begin, you just cant ever finish
Jess says:
that's very true
Jess says:
who actually buys crazy frog? this is what concerns me deeply.
Stu says:
i think theres a lot of people who buy it just so they can have the thrill of telling lies when they tell their friends that 'they would never buy that sort of thing'
Jess says:
that surely has to be the only reason for committing such a crime against both music and humanity
Stu says:
plus some people think its cute
Stu says:
sometimes even intelligent people
Jess says:
i'm sure there's a logical contradiction in there somewhere. either that or my faith in humanity just died a little more
Stu says:
mine died a long time ago
Jess says:
haha. i think that's really the only reasonable response to the universe sometimes
Stu says:
that or just to pretend the universe doesnt extend beyond your immediate field of vision
Jess says:
that works too
So, yes. Also, this photo, of the customer service desk of the bigass shopping centre, currently sporting Christmas decorations. In the middle of a VERY HOT July. Either this is a novel way to celebrate the impending release of Harry Potter, or I am actually hallucinating. I will let you be the judge, dear people.
2. Cheap Philosophy
AKA, my ramblings on my life.
I was reading a story earlier, and this line absolutely jumped out at me. "And I couldn't see my way clear to pursuing a relationship with him." Bolding my own, clearly. Just something about that phrase, see my way clear. I think that's what I'm waiting for, really. For the moment, I can't see my way clearly; there's still too much mess and uncertaintly, both past and future, blocking things off. I think that's why I still feel so unsettled sometimes, because nothing's clear. Or, very little is. I know what that feeling's like, of being able to "see my way clear", but I've lost it, along with a whole heap of stuff. Still, it will come back, eventually, and until then...well, there's still a whole load of life out there.
3. Meme. Snagged from coffeeklatsch
"Why not take this opportunity to tell me a little something about yourself. Any old thing at all. Just so the next time I see your name I can say: "Ah, there's so and so... she wears mismatched socks." I'd love it if every single person who friended me would do this. Yes, even you people who I know really well. Then post this in your own journal."
