Post subject: For once in my life
I have someone!! Actually, that has nothing to do with the following story... but the song was stuck in my head.... so yah. This is a feminist piece that I wrote for my English class, so it may be kind of goofy, but it's based off of me, and no, I'm really not THAT crazy... if I was... I'd be worried...
I came to grips with my insanity when I found myself making plaid muffins in honor of a boy who is not even remotely aware of my existence. Yet, even with this newly discovered truth, I didn't stop. I continued, and tried even harder to make them look distinctly plaid. Oops, a bit of blue spilled on the pan, oh well, it's chill. You know, upon reflection, had I realized my insanity a few weeks earlier, I probably would have made and sent him birthday presents. A guitar pick, and my life. Yes, that would do nicely. Maybe even a wedding ring. But no, he might think I'm crazy if I send him a wedding ring. Scratch that. A guitar pick and my life. Oh. Muffins are done. The green and blue makes them look moldy, oh well, it's the thought that counts, right?
The next day when I brought my muffins to school, everyone was a bit baffled. 'Dude, Why are they plaid?' 'Well, it's like totally in honor of Sean's birthday tomorrow. Like, duh!' 'Oh, I like totally get it.' I'd be worried if they didn't.
I'm really upset about not sending Sean any birthday presents. He might think I don't love him. But if I send them now, so long after his birthday, he'll think I was trying to impress him or that I'm not original enough to send him presents on my own without having found out other people already had. Oh cheese, what am I supposed to do? Besides, shipping to Scotland will be quite a bit of money. Maybe it's better that I don't send him a present, I can save my money for my trip to Scotland to meet him in person. Oh, now that would be impressive, just walk right up to him and look into his eyes and say 'Hi.' And then we'd fall in love and get married and live happily ever after in the Carnegie castle… well, we don't have to live in a castle. As long as I'm with Sean I'll be okay. But it would be like THE coolest thing ever to live in a castle. But it would take quite a bit of time to clean a castle. Maybe we shouldn't live in one. We can buy an island instead. You don't have to clean an island. That'd be nice.
People have started looking at me funny again. I was like so sure they were over that phase, but I guess not. I can't imagine why though, I haven't done anything too absurd or new for quite a while. Sane people are crazy. Little Sean is wearing a new shirt today. It's bright blue and dark red and looks like a retro bowling shirt. It has a little pocket and two buttons and his name is embroidered over the pocket. While I can understand the name being a little unnecessary, Sean needed a new shirt.
Sean didn't go to school today, he was feeling a bit tired and I let him sleep in. My friends gave me this look of disapproval and what seemed to be fear. I don't know why though. Sean was tired, and I did let him sleep. They told me maybe I should get some sleep and consider seeing a therapist. And I said, 'Like why would I do that?' 'Because you think your voodoo doll needs to sleep.' 'Sean's not a voodoo doll!!' 'Yah, whatever.'
Today this really evil boy who shall not be named was really mean to Sean. He took him and threw him like a football and then started punching him. Sean needed a Band-Aid on his face, Nelly style. I promptly hit he who shall not be named and kicked him in the shins. It's really not nice to act out in unmerited violence against those who have done nothing to you. He called me psycho and went back to his friends a defeated boy, with a limp. I don't like him very much, but I'm glad I got a smack at him before he left.
Well, I'm about fifty dollars short of a trip to Scotland. A few more weeks of working and not spending any money at all should give me all I need, and then I'll be on my way. Flying over the Pond and I'll be with Sean and we'll be in love and get married and live happily ever after. It's quite sad though. I don't want to spend any more money than is absolutely necessary, but Sean needs new clothes for the trip, and felt sheets are twenty cents each! I've resorted to recycling my old clothes and taking the little sample scraps in fabric stores. But it's okay, because some of these new clothes are really quite neat. So many different patterns and textures than what you get from felt. Besides, they're a lot cheaper. Free is definitely in my price range.
I'm on the plane to New York. Sean and I have a layover in New York prior to skipping the pond. The seat next to me is unoccupied so I buckle Sean in, just in case. The stewardess comes over and looks at me funny. These looks are getting really old, really fast. She asks if I'd like some honey roasted peanuts, and then asks if the boy to my left would like some too. I said we both would and she giggled nervously. And she thinks I'm crazy.
Little Sean and I made it to Scotland. It's raining. I don't really like the rain, but I guess I could get used to it. It's rather late and Sean coaxes me into saving the search until tomorrow. We check in at a hotel and go to sleep.
I'm walking around Glasgow now. Little Sean is hiding, just in case we see the real Sean. I don't want him to think I'm some type of lunatic. Sean agrees.
I'm crossing the street. I bump into a boy going the other way. I look into his eyes and say 'Hi.' He says 'Hello.' And I continue walking.

Well, I'm convinced you're crazy. That's what you were going for, right?
Really, that was great. I wish I had the creativity for something like that. I don't think I ever will. I'm very impressed.

It's based on my life... everything but 'I went to Scotland' and meeting Sean and all that isn't real... and if I did go to Scotland and I did see Sean, I totally wouldn't walk away. But I'm really not as crazy as the story is... if I was, I'd be very worried about myself.
