58 - Phone

[ceasetoexist]

I lived through it. All of it.

I guess when I first got here I would have said that to brag, but now I guess I want to say....I dunno. That if that's their worst? It can still be beaten.

God. I don't know. I suck at being all "blah blah hope blah blah it'll be fine" since it's usually bullcrap. But I guess I'm just saying. What happened sucked, but it's not like...the most hopeless thing ever.

They're scared. That's what I think. It's why they went this far. I dunno if we're on to something but we must have done something right to make them do something that drastic.

Because you know what I think? They're demanding we be thankful? They need us to. I don't know why yet, but it's necessary for whatever system they've got going on. Think about it. The demand for conformity, the droning to what's desired if we don't. They need us to be here and act a specific way, because if we don't....well, I dunno. I think that it's that if we exist here for long enough, not doing what they want? We compromise their system. They need us to behave a certain way or something doesn't stick, or the stability of this place'll start going off, or something.

That's what I think.

Hey. Idiots. And I'm pretty sure you know which ones I'm talking to? Not that I care or anything, but call me if you can, y'know, manage to use the phone.

Who eats fish sticks though?

I'm serious. They're disgusting.

[timetables.livejournal.com]

They're okay.

Not super into them. Not super against them. Whatever. So then is this your diatribe against fish sticks?

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

I don't know. Maybe because, gee, they're garbage.

Seriously. It's like someone breaded cardboard and tried to call it fish.

[timetables.livejournal.com]

Just sounds like you've had some really shitty fish sticks.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Part of that description was redundant.

You could have just said "fish sticks" and it would have meant the same thing.

[timetables.livejournal.com]

I'm telling you, some of them can be pretty good. Gotta shell out for the brand name stuff.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Look, I don't think it's going to make a difference if they're "Aunt May's Triple A Brand Fish Delights" or just a white bag that has "fish sticks" written on it with permanent marker.

They're going to be the same friggin' thing. And they're both going to suck.

[timetables.livejournal.com]

If you deep fry anything long enough it becomes good. That's basic cooking fact.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

...Well crap alright.

You got me there. But gotta say?

Low blow. Like you said that's true of anything.

[timetables.livejournal.com]

It's just logic, bro.

Fish sticks are deep fried fish.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Yeah, we'll they're not fried enough then.

[timetables.livejournal.com]

I'll be sure to get on that.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Yeah you will.

Fry some swiss cake rolls, while you're at it.

[timetables.livejournal.com]

Fuck it, I'll just throw everything in my pantry into a deep frier.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

See.

Knew I could count on you to do something intelligent.

Eventually.

[timetables.livejournal.com]

Divine inspiration strikes when it strikes.

Can't control that delirious flow.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Hey, I dunno about you. I am a fount of divine inspiration. That kind of ingenuity just flows right out of me, I'm so full of it.

[timetables.livejournal.com]

Alright then, lay something on me.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

....Don't feel like it right now.

[timetables.livejournal.com]

Weak.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Hey. Up yours.

It's not like I didn't start this whole thing dishing out crap about hope and all that jazz. I already gave enough wisdom today.

[timetables.livejournal.com]

Yeah true okay.

You've doled out enough truth for one day.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you see? That's what I thought.

You save your doubting for another day, Thomas.

[timetables.livejournal.com]

Thomas?

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

....I dunno.

I just wanted to end it with a name, I guess. Like a slang thing.

Not all of 'em are gonna be winners, alright?
