Poetical,
You say that like I don't like effort? Is this because I said I could translate languages at will with my eye? See, you and everyone like, over 40, tend to confuse things like convenience with this weird idea that people my age (and usually younger) refuse to put effort into anything. To be able to translate things is 1) convenient, 2) world-changing, if people could access it. Sure, a work of art being translated, like Dante's Inferno or whatever, should take time and concentration and effort, to work in the turns of phrase in the way a computer can't do. But, I don't know how that negates anything else. And no matter what, as long as the human factor is still there—and it is in 99% of things—there will be effort. Also, I really don't want anyone dying on my shoes, but least of all intellectuals who probably don't bathe as much as they should bc they were too busy reading a book or something.
From the looks of it—and this is a disapproving look, idk why you always think I'm going to be disapproving? It's weird?—you don't really need more excitement.
I took my own flight, dude. I wasn't going to be trapped in the air with everyone who hates me and only stands me (barely) bc of you alone. Why don't you feel as weird as before? Just coming to terms with it?
No, I've never seen this person IRL. I haven't fucked them. You'd think since it took me like, 2 years to sleep with you, your assumptions would tell you it isn't about to happen with some random person just bc the town paired us with postcards. This might come as a surprise, but I'm not super interested in that with strangers. It'd only be a complex if it wasn't true. But, no, I was exaggerating. I don't think this guy thinks about me enough to dislike me. I used to think people mostly liked me, at least when I was putting on my Cool Mask for them, but these days—not so much. Repose as p much dissuaded me of that notion, but it's probably for the best.
Are you telling me to chase you? I'm kind of out of shape.
