Been working on an third person sci-fi/urban fantasy for almost two years now. The premise is good, the setting is good, but I think I need to just stop being a bitch and switch to first person. I'm just not getting the "hardboiled" tone I'm going for, that and I'm addicted to porn. I can't even get thirty pages together to send to this competition all the way in sept. and I already wrote the whole damn manuscript.

Just as single cell organisms were eventually stripped of "freedom/autonomy" and subsumed into greater organisms it seems humanity is facing the same fate.
Individual human "cells" will lose most of their autonomy and be controlled by media as substitute for the never system of this new super organism. Anyone acting out of line will be a cancer to be cured or destroyed. Shits fucked.

I turned 30 last month. I too have accomplished nothing. The 10s have been the fucking miserable to me, and I'll never get back the carefree and limitless potential of the 00s. Everything's gone now.

This is not a joke. This actually happened to me. Is life a choice between sex and annotations? I'm a grad student for fuck's sake.

I was looking through my old journal and there were some scary things written there by my past self. Like, two of the pages were densely marked with things like "I DONT TRUST HIM." and "I SEE YOU"
It really looked like paranoia, until i turned to a page where there was a drawing of someone holding their hand like a gun and stuffing it in their mouth, somehow causing their brain to hit the back of the wall behind them. There was a page with the words "I cant I cant I cant I cant.." interluded with "please" or "help". The rest of it was boring day to day shit & dreams I've written down like a black cat in a white expanse leaking writing on the ground out of its paw pads. There was also this.. weird one I had about men in brown suits dancing, and people clinging to me and having no idea who they are, and arriving at a beach to yell at a giant crab before it kills me.

I also wrote had entries entirely written in braille when I was obsessed about the blind, and blind men & women in stories & literature. I think I wanted to gouge my eyes out at some point.

Yes...the party of life.

I will be a good goyim; I will make sure to drink lots of coke-a-cola and watch netflix and smoke weed so I don't think about anything too complicated

The party...
