38 - Video - Talking to myself

[ Steph appears just the slightest bit crazed. Or maybe it's the combination of frustrated and mental exhaustion that has her eyebrows knit together and her jaw stubbornly set. Who knows. She pacing even as she rants. ]

I've had enough of this flood. Can't a girl and her thoughts have some privacy?

Of course not Steph, what are you thinking? It's announce-your-feelings-to-the-world day.

As cool as it is that I can give this rant in surround sound, I've actually had enough of my own thoughts.

Which is weird, because I'm thinking them, so it's like being sick of my own voice. You'd think the simple solution would be to just not talk.

Only nothing about my life is ever simple. This is like, Rule Number One of Steph World. If a situation seems simple, it's probably because you're doing it wrong.

Or because someone you're interested in is trying to a) kill you, b) hurt you, or c) make out with someone else. Not that that has anything to do with anything.

I JUST WANT TO THINK ABOUT PUPPIES!

In a purely professional sense, or just for enjoyment? Way to sound like a creeper Steph.

For the love of God, someone... break my brain or something. Before it breaks me.

mr 'I can see your thoughtcrime' is very intrigued by this.

It's a very unsubtle way, admittedly, of letting you know he knows what you're thinking, comrade.

If it were floating words, that would be literal 8|

Who knows what I'm thinking?

[O'Brien snickers.]

Well done, subconscious.

It was either him, or Big Brother, comrade.

Don't laugh at me! [ She whines. ]

Comrade, he does just like to screw with your head to emphasise control.

It's simply a little unfortunate we now know what you're thinking, whilst I'm left wanting to fix bikes.

I know where I'd rather be, comrade.

It doesn't seem that staying in would help you much. Have you tried sleeping?

[identity profile] ichoosefight.livejournal.com 2011-02-08 05:34 pm (UTC)(link)
A girl can only sleep so much.

[identity profile] ichoosefight.livejournal.com 2011-02-08 05:36 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll trade you. Bring on the bike fixation, I can take it.

...

Have you tried reading?

[identity profile] ichoosefight.livejournal.com 2011-02-08 05:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Books in surround sound.

[identity profile] equalsfive.livejournal.com 2011-02-08 05:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Nobody's mind is sacred, unfortunately, comrade. At least I wouldn't be deeply shocked at what you've got.

I will keep my bikes, though. ...of all kinds.

No, I guess you wouldn't.

So anyway how's things

[identity profile] equalsfive.livejournal.com 2011-02-08 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Power tools?

[Text]

Fine, comrade, now I've stopped poisoning myself with solvent markers.

What were you doing with solvent markers?

I feel for you.

Writing, comrade.

[And back to voice. Changing the subject right back]

Power tools, comrade?

[ STICKING TO TEXT FOREVER ]

So how did you poison yourself?

Re: text;

[identity profile] equalsfive.livejournal.com 2011-02-08 05:48 pm (UTC)(link)
It was less poisoning, and more accidental inhalation of fumes and getting high, actually.

[Voice. He's persistent.]

Power tools?

We used to do that in school. It all started when they made scented markers...

[identity profile] equalsfive.livejournal.com 2011-02-08 06:05 pm (UTC)(link)
...At least I wasn't doing it deliberately.

Power tools, comrade?

[identity profile] ichoosefight.livejournal.com 2011-02-08 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
So I have issues with power tools, so what???

Re: text;

[identity profile] equalsfive.livejournal.com 2011-02-08 06:10 pm (UTC)(link)
It's an odd thing to have issues with, comrade.

Re: text;

[identity profile] ichoosefight.livejournal.com 2011-02-08 06:10 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm an odd person.

Indeed, comrade.
