The Prison Made of Salt Bars

[dotinthesky]

Don't ever take what I say personally. They are just words. And who cares about words on Livejournal? You shouldn't care. Don't let me make you angry, don't let my words upset you. I'll try not to be upset as well.

I feel anxious today: disturbed by old women pouting their lips in a sexual way, disgusted with the newspapers and their lurid cover photos of war and Maxine Carr smiling because she's leaving prison, noxious with every step I take towards a job I don't love.

The only redemption is in the swimming pool. Cruising the water would only be better if it were salty, and brimming with fish.

I smeared some moisturizer after swimming, but the faint whiff of old chlorine still lingers.

Hours and hours to go.

Umm, I guess the way I see it is that words are what makes the world go around. Socialising, friends, relationship. They're what makes people able to communicate in order to acheive common goals and needs. I dunno, I care the same about what someone says online than if it was in real life because there is someone behind the computer. What makes me care more or less is if I care more or less about the person.

I care a lot what people say if they are friends... but I don't care at all if it's a stranger.

I agree

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Although... now thinking... if that stranger said something about a friend then I would care!

Umm, you should consider yourself equal to your buddies!

Ben says: "chlorine = clean!"

He's hopeless.

He is... :)

Chlorine is stinky.

If they make you smile then I'm happy... just never get upset with me over something I wrote - ask me first!
