Willy and Conan

December 12, 2000

I find that the only person I can relate to tonight is William Shatner and Conan O'Brien. They are the only people I know who are up at 3.30am. I haven't been asleep before 3am in so long I can't remember. Is this normal? I don't think so.

William Shatner has written 19 books. I have written zero. In fact, I have written so much less than one book it is laughable. I don't like writing poetry. I feel funny mostly because I could never imagine myself saying the words in a typical poem. I think my definition of poem is a little to strict. This is my idea of a poem:

Lips red like fire
point me to unbridled fantasy,
Eyes that leave nothing to be desired...

wait, that is porn, let me try again...

My fingers twich
as I play the orange hued violin of love.
Love.

Okay, so I am being a tool about this. Point is, I can't be sensuous in poetry and mean it. I don't know if it's that I'm not sensuous or that I don't like expressing it on paper/screen/whatever. I think it's the latter but you can be the judge of that. I am going to try and write more and study less. Perfect timing because finals are coming up. I probably won't write though because my inspiration rarely comes through in words. Then again I am sitting here writing this entry. Oh, someone else just signed on to IM: my roommate from last year who is in ITALY where it is about 10am. He is online at a normal time. Why am I here now? If I just went to bed at 1 and woke up at, say, 10, I could go online in the morning and afternoon and function like a normal human being.

Wired Magazine is a wonderful magazine. I love it. I think I will continue writing my biography so that I can attract women who live a minimum of 1000.miles away who I will see once or twice in person.
