Lukewarm Puddle Water

-
Hello. So I know I promised to post ages ago and I still haven't done it but exams (for core subjects) are over now so I've just been writing, ukuleleing and doing internet shit. There are lots of things I could write about but I'm too lazy to remember the more significant events in the past so I am going to state what has happened recently.

Had school today. Pretty boring- Uranium wasn't there first or second period so I ended up talking to Mercury and found out that he also thinks fidget spinners are cringey as hell (that wasn't the word we used but I'm trying to filter the f word out of my vocabulary) He had a deck of cards in his pocket so we played rummy which was fun. I won the first game, I think. We managed two games before the teacher caught us and told us to stop wasting time. The lesson ended and I saw Uranium in the corridors. She'd got her braces off! She looked good but not having them made her look younger, to me anyway probably because it takes me back to the time when I first met her and she didn't have them on. 

It was an average day, like most school days. It rained during lunch so we (me, Uranium and Plutonium) sat in the canteen rather than the wall, where we usually would be. I bought a cheese roll and some biscuits. Well, not the biscuits as I didn't have enough. The roll had come straight from the fridge which made the cheese taste nothingy. We sat down at an empty table and talked about stuff. Plutonium's parrot has come back. 

I zoned out and, through the sea of faces, saw Nitrogen. 

Ohshitohshitohshitohshitohshitohshitohshit

My mind screamed. I don't know why I got so nervous. 

We had PE after that. I got overly competitive. Uranium and Plutonium got annoyed. Our team won though. 

After school I went to the "youth cafe" down the road. I walked in, sat down and started reading a boring book about a woman with large breasts and an annoying boyfriend where the plot took too long to develop. An overly friendly guy that works there came over to me and offered me tea which I was too polite/awkward to decline. He came back with the it a few minutes later and it was brown-grey like puddle water. It came with two sugar packets but I only put one in and didn't stir it. At first it was hot and bitter puddle water but towards the end it was lukewarm, sweet puddle water as the sugar sank to the bottom. 

The rain continued.

Trogslight Stuff and THE CLIFF INCIDENT

Hello, two posts in a day. Productivity! (Or just me wanting to do anything but revision...) Today I walked into Trogslight with Lithium. Oh yeah, Trogslight is an alias for where I live, sorry that it doesn't fit to the periodic table theme... for a second, I considered "Periodville" before realising what a terrible idea it was. So, Trogslight it is. We went into a graveyard to look around and took some pictures... These were just a few. I used to go into graveyards all the time with my mum, we'd try to find funny names on the headstones. My favourite was "Silas Hake"- probably because it sounded like a vampire name, like Silas from "The Graveyard Book" (Neil Gaiman, read his stuff I'm addicted to it yet traumatised- I watched Coraline when I was six and read the book when I was nine. To this day, I am paranoid that I'll discover that my cupboard is a portal to the Otherworld).  We went into a park but left quickly becaus...

Who am I?

I will go out to the bay and I will sit. I will sit on the cold, salty ground and look out at the rolling sea of an indescribable colour. And I will look out until I can look no further. My eyes soon meet with distant shadows of land so I stop. I can hear their voices but they don't notice me. Hair and eyes blend into seaweed. Skin becomes sand. A grey skirt fades into the wall and my breath is carried away by a hollow wind. Ten years from now, wherever I end up, I don't want to forget who I am now. These words won't mean a lot to other people but, for me, they sum up who I am at the moment.  She is one of the first to arrive at school and when she does it is empty so she notices things that seem to disappear as soon as the next person arrives. There is a lot of glass in her school- the glass is dark and reflective. Sometimes she likes the way her reflection looks in the glass. But that makes her feel vain. Other times, she can be having a nice day until the glas...

Oh, so you decide to grace us with your presence after a month of not posting...

Hello. I have not posted for one month and one day. I have accepted that I must have lost what small audience I had.  There are several reasons (excuses) as to why I haven't posted.  Firstly, my computer broke. Secondly, it was Christmas and I was (kind of? ish?) busy. By busy, I don't mean doing anything productive. I mean sleeping and reading and attempting to spend time with family.  Also, between Boxing Day and New Year's Eve, I felt like shit. I knew I shouldn't be feeling like shit because I'd been given presents and had a good time but I couldn't help feeling that I didn't deserve any of it. On the night of Christmas day, I stayed awake until 3am staring at the ceiling of my cousin's bedroom and thinking about death. This doesn't make me deep or special.  I kept drafting post ideas i.e. 10 Reasons why I hate Christmas or My New Year Resolutions but the writing was extremely forced and not very good. Maybe my writing always ...
