wah-wah

I also like finis by ee cummings 😊

but I guess I’m not being fair because since my background is law I mostly use language as a tool to get my point across so I’m a lot less tolerant of affectations ($10) than I would be if I used language as art. it’s the difference between a house painter and a picture painter I guess

I’m following someone on here who’s a bit like that, expressing simple thoughts in complicated ways (circumlocutory, $10 for me) and this person will go far in their chosen field (english academia) because it looks like that whole field has rejected original ideas in favour of four $10 words per sentence. that’s fine I guess but it’s a bit frustrating for dummies like me who have to spend some time with a dictionary only to discover that the essay I’m reading is making an argument I heard in high school

in germany where I live we don’t play afl or rugby so no one has the rugby lad physique, everyone’s all wiry because they play soccer, so I’m losing my mind a bit here

I wanted to chillax on the quietest most secluded beach i could find and up rows this garrulous old irishman in his boat for seemingly the sole purpose of having a chat with me. he called me a pommy a bunch of times then asked me my name and when i told him he said “haha that’s an old lady’s name”. which is bang on I can’t even be mad

haven’t gone running for months and I can feel my muscles softening in real time, doing nothing about it. I’m also like massively unfit now. very cool, another thing for me to deal with

I said “no worries” and someone said “hmm that’s very aussie of you” but I don’t think it is I think that’s just english. I won’t be accused of larping

I’ve been buying so many used books because in my mind I’m saving money (?????) I need to get back to my city where the used books market is dogshit because apparently I have no self control around these things
