william faulkner

I don't think I have ever loathed a person in my life. It's an emotion I don't think I am capable of.

But if I ever came close, it would be Faulkner.

Perhaps I should give him the courtesy of reading yet another one of his books at an age where I am not under the influence of dreading AP English homework assignments. But I am mostly unwilling. And very hesitant. I just don't like how he writes, and for some reason, that involves his character.

Then I realized that I have a tendency to write like he does. Stream of consciousness just seems the most logical choice for me and my writing style.

But it doesn't make sense to anyone else.

For example- What I would Write in My Journal About Today If I Wrote Things As I Thought Them.

What's today? I don't want to be awake. Maybe I could just skip today. I haven't worn this Dashboard shirt in a long time. Still has the hole in the armpit.  Waffles with peanut butter and syrup is great, but not while walking and without a liquid to wash it down. Sprinklers don't help. I'm late to work again. No one's here. I should clean out my inbox. Terry just asked me to run somewhere, but I don't remember where. I don't think he bought it. Portugal game today. They're going to lose anyway... We have to use those tomatoes. Maybe stuffed tomatoes for lunch? I got that dumb nutrition assignment in. How do people lose weight who drink anyway? Alcohol has so many calories per gram! Lunchtime. Finally. There's gotta be a more effective way to move that [lawnmower, man dragging it up the stairs]. I love sunshine. The cute kids I met are never outside anymore, which is too bad because a tea party would be fun. I love technology, but I can never figure out TVs. Or cable boxes. I'm not going to add anything to this ground beef because the quinao is SO strong. Where is Jeremy? Carving tomatoes is not like carving anything else in the world. I hope nothing happened in the game so far. I wonder if Portugal could win... I'm glad Jeremy knows how this TV works. These tomatoes are going to fall apart. Steps? You trust me with taking a razor to your head? Why on earth does James have a nail file... Going to a game in Portugal would've been cool. Food is a necessary evil- thanks Todd. Twitter. Tweet tweet. Markers don't color on scalps very well. Even if they are washable. Oh this is so cool. Do less thinking and more doing. Washing off marker looks like colored blood. These tomatoes are so good, but they need something. Should've added something to the meat. PKs are a lame way to win a game. You're getting a PhD? When was the last time I saw you? And it hasn't gotten any less awkward to talk to you. Where are all the office supplies in this office? You're talking and I'm pretending like I'm listening, but I don't have any idea what you're saying. Please don't ask me questions. Is it time to leave yet? I don't think I could imagine shoes that I want and find them. Why do I always forget my paypal password? Sure, I'll do that for you. Can I go home yet?


I know exactly what happened today and what things were interesting. No one else does. Just like Faulkner books.


Sigh.
