Mediocre Longings

“need to lose a few lbs. before summer. need to lose a few lbs. before summer so i can get that tat i saw in the ink shop yesterday (twas so very pretty). got to save up so i can get that tat i saw in the ink shop. need to watch my calorie intake so i can lose those lbs. before summer, so when i get my new tat that was so very pretty, it will look good on me, that is, i will look good with it on me. hope i get that interview this week. hope that i’ll get that interview because then i can start to make some real money, because, if i start to make some real money i can save up and get that tat i saw yesterday in the ink shop, but not before i lose a few lbs. got to watch my calorie intake in order to do that. but i have to exercise too. i definitely hope that interviewer calls for that job then, because when he calls i can ace that thing and i will finally be making real money. finally put that college degree to some use. got to pay that thing off. i will do that as soon as i start saving, but not until i get my tat---the one i saw in the ink shop yesterday, it was so very pretty. it will go good with most of my outfits. but all my outfits that fit me now, i’ll have to get rid of when i have lost that weight. got to do that before summer. lose those lbs. before summer will mean i have to watch my calorie intake and exercise though. i will have to start running or go to a gym, or both. but a gym costs money. but that’s alright because when i ace that interview this week after the guy calls i will be making real money. then i will be able to finally get some new outfits that will go with my pretty new tattoo and i will be able to show it off, looking so good after i’ve lost that weight i need to lose. of course that will be easy after i have been going to the gym and running for a while. i just need to save up some money quick after i get this job that guy’s gonna call me about, so i can pay for the gym membership. then, while i am working out and running i will be saving up to get that pretty tat i saw yesterday at the ink shop. then when i get the tat, i will be looking good because i’ve been working out. that’s when i will take the money that i have been saving to get new outfits that will go with that pretty tat on my new body looking so good and use it to get those new outfits. after that i will start saving up to pay off the loan i took to get my degree, because i can do that any time. summer only comes once a year, and i got to lose a few lbs. before summer.”
