I take the scissors, and shove them in my hair. Swish, swish. Now the bathroom is blond and purple all over, and my hair is insanely short.
I put on some 1980s glam metal and take a swig of Jaegermeister. It’s nine in the morning and I’m drinking Jaegermeister. Oh, that taste. It tastes like wet lips and reckless summers. It tastes like laziness and sleaze and pseudo-intellectual-ness. Like most of the things I drink.
I prance around to The Final Countdown or some equivalent shite, and wish I’d spent my early years learning how to do a cartwheel rather than teaching myself Bulgarian, or trying to write with my other hand. I did the former at ten. The latter at eight. So, cartwheels. I never could do those.
AC/DC. That’s what I’m talking about. Now, seriously, I’ve slept for four hours in the past three days, and now I’m just running around listening to poor quality music. I’m such a dolt. And the AC/DC thing, I blame that entirely on my mother.
And now I put on some Led Zeppelin. Now that’s fucking genius. Kashmir still gives me the shivers, after all this time. And damn it, I have stuff to do, calls to make, and all I do is run around the room listening to music that’s much older than I am. Let’s face it. Making phone calls without a phone is fucking difficult.
Jefferson bloody Airplane. I ought to get out of here and give A. a ring. But I’m too lazy to do that. If my name were Alice, I’d probably be ten feet tall right now. Or maybe I am Alice, falling uncontrollably down a rabbit hole, on a downward spiral, just me and my thoughts racing down, down.
Do I really care? Well, I probably do.
It’s early in the morning and I still have some Jaegermeister to drink.
