Big ambitions
I went to the Andy Warhol museum when I was in Pittsburgh, and I’ve decided I’m not kooky enough. I have to do more kooky things. And be more pretentious. Also I’ve decided I haven’t slept on enough couches. I should really do more of that too.
I have a list of things I’ve decided to do with my life:
- Wear boy’s clothes more.
- Sleep on more couches.
- Construct more sentences.
- Be funnier, but without giggling like a big girl’s blouse all the time.
- Not be self-conscious of my smile.
- Dream more, but sleep less.
- Write short stories that have no plot and no meaning whatsoever.
- Cease to be allergic to cats through meditation.
- Talk to cats, in the hopes that they will tell me their secrets.
- Contradict myself.
- Not get any more crushes, not even painful ones, especially not on the right
people. - Lie about my past in a particularly disbelievable way.
- Smoke flavoured cigarettes and wear coloured glasses and talk about
existentialism in trendy cafes. - Repeat myself.
- Cook rice, but nothing else.
- Eat rice.
- Wear overalls in England, and put on a really American accent, and wear a straw
hat. - Continue to contradict myself in an effort to confuse prey.
- Cease to grow any older so I can do more stuff. Like sleep on couches.
- Repeat myself.
- Conquer the planet, and then give it back because I didn’t really want it
anyway. All I wanted was to be loved. - Get a tattoo.
- Not live in England, but live in the outer regions of Niflheim during the summer, and everywhere else in the winter.
- Grow a goatee beard and behave like a screaming queen in a secret double life only exposed after my death.
- Get a new laptop so I can work from Niflheim with no problems.
- Repeat myself.
- Get a tattoo.
- Learn to drink beer.
