raven: [hello my name is] and a silhouette image of a raven (Default)
I have finally realised what my problem is. It's awareness. I'm too aware of everything, because I analyse everything to death, hypothesising and extrapolating and I always have to think about tomorrow, what's going to happen tomorrow... I can never react spontaneously either - I have to think about everything I do and say.
I can't lighten up, like people sometimes tell me to. That's not in my nature, and that's why I get depressed - because I can see everything that's going to happen, and I don't like it - I'm depressed because there's no way out of it.
I'm so aware of myself and what's going to happen to me, I have to hold everyone at arm's length - and that might be why I'm afraid of hugging! I can't hang by a moment - that's all I ever want to do, but I can't. And my eccentricities come from the whirling thoughts inside my head - I think so deeply and so much that I can't concentrate on here and now. That's why I hold a kettle the wrong way, that's why I sometimes take a hugely complicated route when a simple one would suffice, it even explains why I use long words when short ones will do.
I can't stop myself from doing all these things any more than I can stop myself from breathing.

Seeing as all of my journal entries have been ruthlessly self-indulgent so far, this one will be no exception. I have spent a pleasant twenty minutes making lists, which is my favourite way to waste time.
So, these are my top five lists of, well, everything, starting with:
Books

  • Prozac Nation, by Elizabeth Wurtzel
  • The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams
  • The Prisoner of Zenda, by Anthony Hope
  • Round Ireland with a Fridge, by Tony Hawks
  • The Robots of Dawn, by Isaac Asimov

    And then,
    Songs - which change on a daily basis, but at the moment they are:
  • Silverchair - Suicidal Dreams
  • Jack off Jill - Angels Fuck, Devils Kiss
  • Eva Cassidy - Fields of Gold
  • Meredith Brooks - Bitch
  • Staind - Outside

    Going on,
    Television programmes - and these aren't my favourites, these are the only ones I watch:
  • Frasier
  • Friends
  • Stargate SG-1
  • Will and Grace
  • Star Trek: Voyager

    Then, my favourite
    Words
  • angst, as ever
  • pretentious
  • extemporaneous
  • surreal
  • defenestration - this word completely rocks. Just say it: "Defenestration..." See?

    Websites
    I only go on three websites:
  • Heliopolis
  • Hotmail
  • Livejournal

    Colours
  • red
  • silver
  • white
    And as everyone knows, if it's clear, I'm going to like it...

    And lastly,
    Foods
  • Cinnamon mints- down to my last box, God bless America....
  • Mocha - not a food but it should be...
  • Fruit 'n' Nut chocolate - the one substance I wouldn't mind drowning in...
  • Prawns
  • Strawberries! There's a conspiracy - the world is against me having strawberries...

      That's all. Good night!
