Tales from the Black Book - Grade 9 -
If you've read this site for a while, or know me personally, you know about the little black book. I've decided to share a few pages, most of which are written with gritty angst Max Payne style description and writing. I did that for the hell of it. Anyways.

8:30AM. My mind is about as clear as outside right now. I can't think straight. I'm tired. For a while, I thought about things in life.
3:26PM. Forgot I had this book. The loud rumbles of the metro faded into the back of my mind. The sepia tone of the lights flooded the car, as it moved at what felt like a thousand feet per second.

Random Scribbles which I forgot the date for:

My day was drenched in gloom. The sky was a neverending grey, drab and dull. In my frame of mind, all I could do was think in metaphors.
The sky hadn't cleared up since morning. The grey layers only became lighter, but a blue sky was non-existant.

I had hoped to see her today. My memory had failed me though, like it always did and I had forgotten that she said she wouldn't show. As my day went on, things went uphill. But... I still wanted to see her...

Like all the problems in my life, it had to do with a girl.

The screen flashed words, a nonsense gibberish which I had no hope in decyphering:

"y halo thar, buttseckz! OMGWTFLOLOL!!1"

Funny as hell, it was the most horrible thing I had seen.

I tried my hand at writing angst. Here's my result. "The streets were rivers of red, the blood of my veins staining the concrete, choking the drains."

The Things I Want. By Eric M.
Clean air. Guitar strings.
Sleep.
A close shave.
The chance to have people take me seriously for a change.

But most of all, I wanted her.
After hearing how she had been in recent days, I wanted to be with her.
Close to her. Wanted to hug her, comfort her, tell her things would be okay.
But I couldn't.
I felt helpless.
With the distance between us, there was nothing I could do.

The window offered a depressing sight. A thick fog obscured everything ahead of me. The thick clouds were lettings off layers onto the land below, drenching anyone unfortunate enough to be outside that day. The sun was on the losing end of a battle for daytime, the rain would continue it's stay as champion.

Looked up this morning to see a welcome sight.

Blue sky.

It had been forever since I had seen it. With four days of rain, things were very drab.

And now a change of pace from the depression...
Some people in my french class are so fucking stupid. Fucking people, I want some of them to just have their jaws wired shut forever. Okay. no. I don't wish that on anyone except people who deserve that. After a while though, the class drove me to consider painting walls with brains.

Mine and theirs.

That's all for today!
