hello, old friend.
12:34 AM

Between the lies and compliments;
It's all the same if everybody leaves her."

My brother turned twelve today.
Happy birthday, fuzzy.
He says he doesn't FEEL twelve. I told him it's always that way. I'm seventeen but I think I left myself somewhere back at fourteen...
This morning I woke up with bedroom eyes, the way I always do when I've cried the night before. When Mum and Daddy saw me this morning, they went up in arms demanding to know who'd made me cry.
Which is weird, because I don't remember doing anything of the sort.
I think I just need sleep.
Went for kickboxing, and then grocery shopping, and then lugged about ten tonnes of fruit out to try and hail a cab. Could've reaally used a lift from the Popemobile (hahahah) then.
And, yeah. The vehicle that the Pope drives? ...it's actually got a name. And it's actually called the Popemobile. Carol and I were laughing about it yesterday.
"So first we'll have the epic, dramatic, theatrical Batman trailer; and Batman'll voom out onto the scene in his Batmobile.
...And then, cue Pope. Putputting out of the garage in his...Popemobile."
Couldn't they have given it a slightly edgier, Vested With Divine Power-ey name?
Like, idk. Lamb-ofGod-borghini. Chariot of Fire. Something.
Am now listening to Emmy Rossum, while typing out SEA History notes.
It's so easy for me to lose myself in this music. If I was a singer, I'd like to make songs like this one.
The only song I've heard that has the words "I need you", and that I still love despite that.
The weather's beautiful, outside- chilly, and grey, and hushed; and everything is still; and I have wonderful friends, and a wonderful life, and for once my thoughts don't feel like they've got to reach Mars.
I think I am at peace with myself.
Three more days, and then we'll raise the freedom cry.
