I'M Not Famous Or Interesting But It Hasn'T Stopped Me Talking About Myself

I wonder if I'll have anything interesting to say again As I stand in limbo between each interaction Acquiring nothing in the way of collateral for conversation Should I be called upon to pass the time I regularly think I'll fix this, I'll read the papers (I did try) No hobbies, always fads I should have favourite bands, but I don't do fanatical Just drinking and dancing - but I barely do those things I like eating burritos and drinking bubble tea - so I deny myself the pleasure or else I'll go off it I think I need permission, a fanfare welcome into the world of liking things I have swore my allegiance to cherry blossom, cherry coke, things rose petal flavoured, chocolate and unusual clothes (think ex goth)... and winged eyeliner (subtle)... The supermarket did once send me some stats to say I was the customer who bought the most tofu (fun fact) I'm not quiet in conversation though Perhaps I'll listen in next time

I love your "Anxiety Collection" but this, oh my, your living my dream! It's okay to take a small break;)

Haha I switch it off as quickly as I switch it on sometimes, or perhaps in tune in and out of the chatter. My idea is I'll reread these at some point and right a few wrongs. It does fascinate me that some people are walking around with gentle thoughts floating in about holidays etc haha. Thanks for your comment. Edit: ahh the permission! Nearly missed it! :D

A wonderful free flowing exploration of reality as it arises....you do this well. Mind dazzling display of stuff to put on the shelf of a poem...enjoyed perusing the aisles. Stamped yourself on this one.

I was happily putting it in the bin but as I didn't have much else I thought I'd let it free and see how it looked tomorrow, thank you for your kind words :)
