the perks of being a wallflower



"I Feel Infinate"


"Old pictures look very rugged and young, and the people in photographs always seem a lot happier than you are"

I had an amazing feeling when i finally held the tape in my hand. I just thought to myself that in the palm of my hand there was this tape that held all of these memories and feelings and great joy and sadness. Right there in the palm of my hand. And i thought about how many people have loved those songs. And how many people got through a lot of bad times because of those songs...and how much those songs really mean."


It's like my first memory, which i guess is the first time i was aware of being alive...I thought it was the funniest thing i'd ever seen in the whole world, and i laughed about it for three hours. At first, my mom and aunt Helen kind of laughed, too, because they were happy that i was laughing. Supposedly, i didn't talk harldy at all when i was a little kid, and whenever i seemed normal they were happy. But into the third hour, they were trying to make me stop laughing, but it only made me laugh harder. I don't really think it was three hours, but it seemed like a long time...It seems a rather"auspicious" beginning."
