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.

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?

[timetables.livejournal.com]

Yeah I guess. Can't always hit a homerun.

But that one really made no sense.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Have you seriously never heard the story of Doubting Thomas?

[timetables.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a pretty incredulous dude.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

I'd like to think he was logical, considering he was apparently the only person to not believe Jesus had come back to life.

So do you know who Jesus is, or do I need to explain him to you too?

[timetables.livejournal.com]

Nah I'm good on that one. Beard, cross, kind of a hippy.

I'd say there are a ton of dudes who don't believe Jesus came back to life. They're called... anyone not Christian.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but this was like....an actual Bible story, since Thomas was one of his disciples or something. I think.

I didn't really pay attention to Sunday School for like the year my parents made me go.

[timetables.livejournal.com]

Oh, never really got around to reading that thing. Tomb is pretty massive.

Never got made to go there either.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

You were lucky. It was pretty much brainwashing at its purest form. I got out of there as soon as I could.

[timetables.livejournal.com]

They shoot you with hypnotic brainwaves and shit? I was always pretty sure that's what they did.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Naw but they tried to make me drink some guys blood. Think they've got like, casks of hobo's blood in their basement.

[timetables.livejournal.com]

There is no greater hive of hobos and vampirism.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Well except maybe here, from what I'm finding out. Sheesh.

[timetables.livejournal.com]

Maybe this is all just one giant church.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

See. That's it.

Maybe if we all just sing a rousing chorus of hymnals and show we have some old time religion they'll let us out.

[timetables.livejournal.com]

Still don't want to do it.
