Blog-it, sniff it, scratch it, post it

What did I do today?

Today was boring. But it was one of those long, almost gracefully stupid days needed for living.
Its...slippery in a way that you lose all sense of time except day and night, itchy and starving, rock or techno, lost or confused. Its one of those days when you forget its not a Sunday or that you've woken up at 11:30, officially the second longest day you've woken up since summer began. You forget about starting over, y'know its that time your Dad has returned from the OLYMPICS and its as if he never left, although it means you have to be quiet at nights and you can't eat ridiculous things like porridge for dinner again, (internetting at 11pm is out of the question!).

Of course, its silly, but its not. Its a refreshingly boring day. You remember all the future you would never considered to be a thought: your cousins growing older and all th movies you haven't seen. An interview, a poetry reading, a GYUK meeting. Food, that morish dude. You remember you have a future and family who are involved somehow although you never really tell them anything.

An overdue celebration needs planning that you've only cried about on the Samaritans and in an email or two to a Disgruntled Moose - hold up, thats the past. Blast, blast it away for its almost forgotten now.

You've got a future. And it needs worrying about. I mean, seven books to read in around a month and now GCSEs to distract you!

Actually, the best thing about these days is that you forget a month ever existed and that you've busted your butt, even if there are no regrets? Who'd ever thought today there'd be a second to last day in August? September is getting impatient and I have a window to break and a shutter to pull down on this night. Get down to it.
