Description
i am not the girl who stars in the show and smiles at everyone in the audience. i am not the extra who only got in because her mother is the principal. i am not even the girl who does the lighting backstage. i am not even in the drama club. i am the girl who waits in the hallway with a book while you do your auditions and rubs your back when you don’t get in and shrieks and jumps and buys you ice cream when you finally do. i am the girl who worries about you too much and writes about it using insanely mixed-up metaphors. you're not in the drama club either.being left behind makes me want to laugh at that stupid L’Oréal slogan because if i was worth anything at all i wouldn’t be alone right now.
i tell myself that i’m glad for you(the truth) and that i'm not dying of jealousy of the effortless way you fit (a lie) and that i don’t want anything for myself, just for you to be happy (another lie) and i tell myself that i'm a good friend (probably also a lie).
i cry a lot more than i’ll ever admit.
but i’ll smile happily for you and clean up other people’s messes and deal with other people’s problems and keep other people’s secrets. and all the while i'll quietly wish i was worth enough to have messes and problems and secrets of my own.

Yes, George. Loong story.
And no, it definitely wasn't in the Write Stuff, so I musta shown you it before. Praise? From you? This must be some kind of record... What have you done with Demon?

Could've said the same thing about our little Facebook chat.
Ah, Demon is still there unfortunately, he's very hard to get rid off, but I'm getting closer every day.

You could? Explain.
I hereby offer to kill him off permanantly for you. You know, just a helpful murder between friends. And I actually didn't know you were trying to get rid of him. Any particular reason?

Well, you weren't giving me praise on Facebook (actually, I think you did once, saying I was finally becoming a normal human being ), but you were being nice, which is just as a first for you as praise from me is to you. xD
Particular reason? Many particular reasons, and I don't know if the methods you use to kill Demons are sanitary or safe, so you'll have to give me an outline and sign a contract k? xDD

gimpbeginner In reply to Muzychenko [2009-08-27 23:58:54 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, I remember that. Actually, life was much more entertaining when we were fighting. Being nice is boring. However, since you seem to appreciate the novelty, I'll continue for as long as my attention span permits.
Sanitary, yes. Safe ... wouldn't that kind of be beside the point of a murder? You make up the contract, and we can discuss options once I've looked it over. ^^

Haha, and I was just about to say "Wait, I just realized that if you're being nice to me now, you weren't being nice to me before, and so the question then is: why weren't you being nice before? Is there any particular reason why you wanted to fight with me? xD"

Don't feel too bad, this was written at a really emo stage in my life. Just... missing you guys, when you disappeared for awhile there, and wanting a 'buddy' (as me and Helena called it) too even though I knew it was bad for me.

I'm burning up with jealousy. I wish I could write like you. You know, with the Talent Show coming up, this time you're going to be the one who stars in the show, except that you'll be scowling, not smiling, at everybody because that's the nature of the song...but still! <3

FWAAH. You must join my Cannibalists Anonymous group. It is for people who eat people.
Hello, my name is ... George? ... and I am a cannibal. I make up long, involved stories about Randy the Edible (he's the first one we'll eat on a desert island because Paul's too scrawny).

They're not. They're those things that sound really funny in person (usually because you're being told them by people with amazingly rubber faces or hysterical delivery) but flatten totally when they are retold.

Aaah, the dreaded Asian-fail phenomenon. That's what we call it here, anyways. Are Asian immigrants in France reputed to be very smart also? We say that getting below 80 is Asian-failing here because of their stereotypical high standards. I have Asian standards too, don't worry.
And you are a goddess of writing and drawing and also punctuality and ... you know what? I think you deserve a poem.
