40 minutes of duty left to go, and whilst attempting to find a quote from Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere for his sister, Butlerman stumbles across this - and has 3 points to make. "Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses. You build up a whole armor, for years, so nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life... You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' or 'how very perceptive' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a body-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. Nothing should be able to do that. Especially not love. I hate love" The character "Rose Walker" in The Sandman #65 1) Butlerman would trade his left testicle/soul to write like that. 2) Grand sweeping statements seem that much cooler when it rings true. 3) It's easy to jump to conclusions when a reader stumbles across something like this on this blog. Don't. 32 minutes left to go. TO THE BATMOBILE. Friday, November 20, 2009
After 2 cans of teeth-rotting Coke (totalling 1000 ladles of sugar), and a lifetime's worth of Bejeweled Blitz, Typing Maniac and Word Challenge, Butlerman finds himself with 8 hours left of SAF duty before his blessed release back into civilisation. And reminds himself to get an iPod before the next dreaded shift, for fear of being driven insane by the melodramatic squeals of the countless Channel 8 serials that the other duty personnel survive on... The will is strong... The will is strong! TO THE BATMOBILE |
