Eventually, she passes the last of the paintings. The hall and the doors
continue, but from this point onward, the frames on the doors contain only
blank canvasses. She tries the knob on the first such door. It is unlocked,
as she somehow knew it must be. She opens the door, and steps inside. There
is a chair. The walls are blue. As soon as she takes her hand off the doorknob,
the door shuts and locks itself. She looks around, considers, and accepts.
When she sits down in the chair, her face assumes a blank stare. She doesn't
move again.
A painting is born.
April the Somethingth:
Lately, I've been wondering if it's normal to be this oblivious to the
events in my life. It's really weird, but I've just started to realize that I've
never had all that good a grasp on what's going on in my life. Really. People would ask if
I was going out with a certain person, and I'd think about it for a while, and then I'd have to
admit that I really didn't know. Is this normal? And two such things are happening to me
right now. There's the person I was going out with (and may still be going out with, for all I know), and
then there's another person, and I have no real idea how I feel there. Also, I have no real plan for my
life, and there are numerous other things about which I am unsure. I am fairly certain I know what my name is, though.
I guess I'll just have to hold on to that. Please feel free to e-mail me and tell
me if any of you ever feel the same, or if it's just me. Thanks.
May the Somethingth, 1998:
Sitting here updating my page when a friend of mine points out that there's really not that much
here. Vow to do something about it just as soon as I get around to it. Also vow to start putting subjects
in my sentences. It's a Friday afternoon, and I'm sitting in the library typing away. Outside, the
sun is shining, but here I sit, probably sucking up radiation from this computer screen, and trying
to put something meaningful into my page. Fun. Ah, well, it's better than going to class. I think.
Today's Horoscope:
You will meet a short, light stranger, who may or may not be handsome. The world will
end at midnight (12:30 in Newfoundland) so try and run up your credit card bill as much as possible in the time remaining.
Your life will be changed forever by a chocolate bar wrapper, but this change will probably be for the best.
Beware of dachsunds. Today's colour is khaki, and today's element is tungsten. Your lucky number is the square root of your
shoe size plus your social insurance number. Have a nice day.
June the somethingth, 1998:
I've been thinking lately. Yes, I know, but it had to happen sometime. Anyway, here are
some of the thoughts I've come up with:
Theory: there is no reality, only perception. The commonly accepted reality
is simply a more popular perception than most.
Questions: Can thoughts/perceptions alter reality, assuming there is a reality?
Is science a religion? Think about it. Many scientific principles cannot be proven, and
we are asked to accept them on faith. Gravity, for example. Yes, we can see that things fall
when we drop them, but what proof do we have of the scientists' explantation for why this happens?
A thought: Life as we know it ends every second of every day.
Horoscope:
Today is a good day to buy a hat. Beware of people who think they are chihuahas.
Today's colour is ecru. Today's Beatle is Ringo. Whatever the voices in your head say, you cannot fly
under your own power. Your lucky number is a secret. I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.
Sometime Later than That:
Horoscope:
Today will be mostly cheerful, with scattered
anxiety this morning, and a 30% chance of light boredom this afternoon. Be sure and wear clean underwear today, as you venture out into the
world, because you never know what could happen. Beware of minty hydrochloric acid. Today's piece of scientific equipment
is the bunsen burner. Today's deceased musician is Jimi Hendrix. At 12:27 and 42 seconds, you will have
a slight itch on your right elbow. There is absolutely nothing sneaking up behind you right now as you're reading this.
Hah! Made you look.
March somethingth, 1998:
Today's Horoscope:
Today is a day of new sights and smells. Glorious things will happen today,
although not very many of them will involve you personally. Today's lucky number
is e. Today's colour is salmon. Today's fish is red. Be wary of
aardvarks and kumquats. Be at peace with yourself and you may not cut off your
nose to spite your face.
