naked pictures… and the bsc

some guy my brother knows wanted naked pictures of me. erm, why? i’m not particularly attractive but, eh, i guess you can wank off to anything. more than that, he apparently just started cutting himself. then i found out that my brother’s ex-girlfriend also cuts herself. damn, that boy just seems to attract self-injurers! it’s weird because i know no self-injurers apart from those found at sh and through the site. i know they exist but i guess i never really ask or form close enough relationships with people to test the waters on that subject. i remember a friend from high school used to cut herself. high school. there was no such thing as ‘emo’. it was all about those ‘goths’ or richey edwards idolizers. the subject was nowhere near as common as now and even the other psych hospital patients thought i was crazy. now you supposedly – if you bother with people – can’t make friends in high school without half of them being self-injurers. i don’t know, it’s all so convoluted.

i found this site with bsc recaps that left me quivering and in tears. from laughter, of course. i remember when the whole class of girls was after every one of those damned books and, oh, when we were after this book on flirting. i’m a nerd. i got into bsc fanfiction a while back and a lot of it isn’t half bad. not sure about what is on ff.net but the livejournal fanfiction i found was surprisingly decent. i won’t torture anybody with recs. *g*

i’ve been at turns angst-filled and numb the past few days. i bought a couple poetry books today to fill the void. both by sharon olds. i enjoyed another poetry books of hers, i think. i really need to find some modern poetry and fast. not that sharon olds isn’t modern. i love my emily dickinson but, after last semester, i’m just sick of anything written before the modernists. high modernism, though, was a little much to take at times. rose is a rose is a rose is a rose.

ah, i love little morbid ads like these. used this one in a digital art a few weeks back.

skipped class and read instead

i’ve been feeling very sluggish lately. not sure if it’s the medication but just about when it turns dark i’m ready for bed. here i am, yawning.

i was watching some pathetic celebrity news program and they were likening some random show to public stoning which got me thinking to shirley jackson’s story, the lottery. creepy little story. i should check it out again. tradition can be so highly ingrained, sometimes. there’s little changes over the years but there’s always those people wanting to move backwards or stick with what has worked even though they may have forgotten why it worked. needless to say, that’s the sort of attitude that destroys. as it did in the lottery with its necessary scapegoat. i remember they stoned her to death.
i haven’t started on any of my new books. instead, i’m finishing up the book on female murderers. i’d heard of the story of lizzy borden but never in full detail. i’m not talking about the gory parts but about the trial and how her reinforcement of how a woman should act and her socioeconomic status saved her from the noose. it seemed apparent enough that she was the likeliest individual to have done it and that the squeamishness of talking about ‘female’ issues and of criminalizing a lady of class let her get off.

i skipped class yesterday. should have gone but felt so tired that i just read instead. listened to my little brother’s hour of pink floyd on his little radio station. nothing much else to report. i wonder if this medication is poisoning me. that would be sadly amusing. just so tired and apathetic.

i did have a lovely discussion in school after my latest presentation. we talked for a good fifteen to twenty minutes on the topic, which was latina newscasters. mentioned how on spanish television women are always drop dead gorgeous as if they were trying to emulate english-language news.
