Freeze Dried Ice Cream

So very terrifyingly real.





My mother's sense of humor is also very scary.

Day Trois.

I need to learn this.

Day Une.

It has been decided. I will do something productive with my life with what is left of my summer and each day will be documented. This will probably end up like a giant disaster but the only way to beat procrastination is facing the fear and starting something. I'm not even entirely sure there is something I'm procrastinating to. Yet.

Things to do:

1. clean my room

Which seems to be the shortest list ever conceived. Googling 'what to do on the summer holidays' I was bombarded with horrifying suggestions which also partially killed any hope I had for society. This is not a good start.

Why Is My Name So Shit? (a poem)

Austin Flegel stood proudly, the cloth in his shirt flailed very wildly.

The rock on his foot was a torch of unimaginable pain but he continued to stand because he was incredibly vain.

How long should he stand this excruciating torture? A strict tap on his foot-- he has such a bad posture.

That's fucking great-- it starts to rain and he feels droplets as they trickle.

Like a stream of gloom as he realised his name was Austin Flegel.

I'm running out.

There's probably no limit of things to talk about. But the more vast the options are, the more limited it feels. Which is some contradictory shit right there. So I got some ideas from Tom Slatin's 80 Journal Writing Prompts
