I Am My Own Worst Cliche


'Nuff said. Let the cartoon be a warning.

(or maybe I should just open my own Twitter account and heap my rantings there since that's what everyone does anyway)

  1. More:

    1. I want to feel special about these words I'm writing in series of paragraphs.

    2. Smoking makes things cool.
    3. China exists.
    4. You're really pretty, but let's just be friends and I expect nothing.

    1. Darn. This blog was supposed to be hidden from you, that's why I never gave you my address. Oh well.. (what am i supposed to expect? this is the world wide web after all)

      1. Do.
      2. Quit smoking. It causes mouth ulcers and other nasty stuff.
      3. And Russia and the polar ice caps.
      4. You should see me when I only average 4 hours of sleep everyday for two straight weeks. But yes, let's be friends.

      And welcome. :)

  2. Oh. My. God. I'm slightly nauwaw. No. 4 isn't directed to Babayeng Nasaag. Not that you're not pretty and not that I have trouble telling you that. What I meant above were other cliches. Dammit, words! No. 4 specifically applies to the cliche/crap I tell a girl, because there's never been a time that I expected nothing and wanted just friendship from a girl I really like, e.g. that girl in the library.

    I hope this awkwardness makes me stronger.

  3. Alright, then. Let's just pretend we didn't have that awkward exchange of words. I'd like to feel kind of humiliated too for having assumed you were referring to me--but what's the point? Haha. Down with cliches!

  4. Awkward is still good. Also, I kept thinking about what I meant by "the girl I really like". That wasn't accurate. Because 1.) You're a girl I like and that's not my example. I can't also say "girl I'm physically attracted to", since I still have no image for that. Maybe "girl I can't seem to get my eyes off and the girl I will be restless about, until I can at least get to know whether she's read books I agree with or whether she believes in the kind of god I'm uncomfortable believing". Madness!

  5. Maybe that's why you were stalking girls in the library, so you'd know what kind of books they're reading. Sleazy..

  6. Hala, shocks, nauwaw nasad ko kay nasakpan nimo ang style. Dammit, what gave it away?

    Hehe.

  7. Hmm wala lang..I figured that's why you're in the library in the first place. To sneak up on unsuspecting girls while you're pretending to read. :p

  8. Hala natagaan na nuon ko nimo idea unsa ako buhaton: pretend to read while reconnoitering. Actually, the only time I did it I was looking for books that James Salter favorited, especially Ezra Pound. I couldn't find them, and that's when I saw her. She felt like a revelation, or maybe it was desperation setting in. Either way, it's ended, like this line.

  9. I like how reconnoitering sounds when i say it. Hehe. Like jewels in the mouth. Bitaw, too bad for that girl. She must have been reading something really awful.
