Monster Mash

"I don't mean to preach because that may drive you insane
But I know that sort of stuff can damage your brain."
"A primitive mind that couldn't grasp a thing
My friends would all react with shock and disbelief."
"Buddy, respect your girl
And if she's sad at home take her out to the dance."
"You're foolishly fooled with the foolish kind
But sooner or later you're going to cry, cry, cry."
"Because you can hurt someone
And make them sad."
"It's guaranteed to make you bitter and older
It's the truth before you go to sleep."
"Wishing for a reason to just stop."
"Don't play down your hopeless intrigue."
"Because there's a tearjerker waiting in the wings
That's still no reason to be so devoid of feeling."
"There’s a wave of unrest, there’s a lack of commitment and sincerity."

Hey. You know what's funny. Gruppenzwang.
Because none of us are affected by it.
Except one.
Which is weird.

It is twenty to two. I am still doing my drama bookwork. I am tired. I am a good student.

Oh I wonder if there's any tasty food left.
I want some cold sausages. But I will settle for this Vita-Weat.
I wonder if Blonde Woman will let me do a photographical expose on her.
Geoff was right, more people did drink on giving head than kissing the opposite sex.
I think that goes to show how many people were paying attention.
It turns out that I am not strong enough to move the couch with one hand.
Ok, maybe now that I'm not sitting on the ground I'll be able to be more articulate.
I really like that game.
I really do wish that it were like Sims and people could see red negative signs above your head when they were annoying you.
Or positive signs. Because then they wouldn't think that you didn't like them when you really did.
I haven't started my Art History yet. But I think I will to-night.
I wish I knew where my Year 11 Bio book was so I could play Love Done Me No Good on my melodica. Which was a really great fantastic present.
I never think that I shouldn't do things for someone because I don't.
So what is the difference between being seventeen and eighteen?
Well mainly everyone likes everyone a little bit less.
Oh, and also it's really annoying when you say you're annoyed about something and the person who you're talking to says Oh you mean this thing? and it wasn't that thing it was another thing. Yeah. Wow. No. Don't. What.
I would make a good wife but I don't know if I'd be a very good girlfriend because I don't like the sound of that kind of thing, then it's all So when are we meeting and When are we going to have sex and When are we going to break up and Are we going to be able to work through this problem and Are you going to always be like this and You don't like avocado? because then I'd just be like No, Fuck You and wouldn't reply anymore. And I would only want a picture of an armadillo. Or maybe an aardvark.
I worry I might accidentally go out with someone normal and they'll have this normal family who won't like me because people's families often don't like me because I don't eat lots.
That's what the awful part of my nice party taught me. I have to have some kind of man who doesn't say anything until he says Oi, Fuck You. And then everyone will be like WoahShit, This Guy Means Business. If I hadn't been all overwhelmed I would have been like Oi, Fuck You myself. But Titian had been weird and made me go and sit in my room so I didn't know. That's why you have to be two people and not one person. Also if you're trying to climb through a window. At night.
People I know a bit are a lot more polite than people I know quite well.
"Everyone's a little queer, can't you be a little straight?"
I don't want to have a wedding. Everyone would go and have sex in the toilets.
Oh no wait, if there were a wedding there'd have to be some sort of man who'd be all Oi, No Sex In The Toilets.
No, actually Sex in Toilets isn't one of the things that I am Against.
I don't want to have a 21st in case everyone starts shooting birds.
I am Against shooting birds.
Here are the things that I am Against:
Picking flowers, Killing insects and animals, Unappreciation of art, Hitting children, People who don't smell nice, Disputing authority and not abiding by the Law or Rules or Moral Code, Continued promotion of sports in New Zealand, Lack of intrigue, Everyone not being allowed to know everything all the time, Racism, Bad judgement, Selfishness, Subjectivity, Insincerity, Hating on the Gays, People who think that just because people appear bold or loud it means that their feelings are less susceptible to breakage, Hating on Drama and Acting, Hating on Reading and Writing, People Who Don't Stick Together Through Thick and Thin, People Who Don't Do Things In Person, People Who Don't Join Clubs, Cowardice.
Most of these things I can abide. But if someone smells bad I immediately don't like them any more and.. Well I fucking hate people being cowards.
I hope one day, when science and magic cross over, everyone who breaks a law immediately has the fine withdrawn from their bank account. And an invisible power holds them frozen in place until they truly regret it.
I try very hard not to break laws. This is why I have to use two crossings in the morning.
I think that the law is very important. It's like when someone is the leader in your group and no one listens to them and you just feel really bad even if you don't like them that much.
God, I'm way too empathetic.
Another good wife quality.
I don't like it when people don't like New Zealand music because the only band they know is The Feelers. Or something.
I need a small brown suitcase.
I don't like my piratical initials.
I'm sure someone was saying something about being gay and pirates on Saturday night but I have no idea what was going on.
It's exciting when a song is exactly something minutes long.
I didn't know Gutter Black only got to #15.
I wish I didn't like this Party at Lydia's song.
I wish I had done something in the sixth form.
Fuck. I'm going to have to get cracking.
Fuck, I don't want to be crying when my mum comes home.
Fuck. I would have hugged me.
I so would have.
I don't like things blowing over Cold War Kids. You cunts. That's a cunty thing to say.
Why is the neighbour pregnant. I don't like loud babies.
I was never a loud baby. I was a is-something-wrong-with-that-baby baby.
Oh Fuck Off. Fuck.
I'm going to go and turn the light on.
Because I'm embarrassed.
I need a vacation.
I quite like this song although I disagree with nearly every line.
But I wouldn't say anything. Unless I said I don't think so. Which I sometimes do.
I can't remember if I used to be more confrontational.
Maybe I'll brush my teeth. Since, you know, it is 5.20.
I really want cold sausages still. Really badly.
Hours and hours and hours.
I wouldn't steal anyone's fire.
I'd like to be on Live At Yours because then you get to do a cover.
And I like covers.
It would be really inconvenient to have the same name as someone else who was famous.
The mother has of course come in and said Why Haven't You Cleaned Your Room.
This will not be a thing that I say. I will say Do you want to clean your room? and if they don't then I will clean it and it won't be the way they like it.
"So come on now, it's not a race we'll catch up when the end is near.
Let's fall away and disappear again."
I don't have any glue. So I'll have to mend my earphones with Sellotape. Since someone sat on my school jacket which they were in the pocket of.
Haha, they're trying to get rid of Phil Goff already.
I have three packets of mousse too. And I wonder if I still have that weird cheese.
I'm glad I didn't get around to making a cake in case someone decided to eat all of it.
Next time I will make the cake. And there will be lists and brochures.
"Our hopes and expectations."
I can't think of anything else to say at this present time and accordingly I am not going to write anything else.
Oh wait, actually


This is what I think of pretty girls who post pretty pictures of themselves looking pretty.
And now I understand what depth of field is.
"Don't ever think I'll try to make you stay."
