Enough of the current events and the upsetting headlines in my life today... I feel so nostalgic right now... Mom and I went to the grocery store today and we bought cereals (Honey Stars to be exact!)and there's a free pencil case for every box you buy. I wanted that pencil case but Dominic wants it and needs it more than I do. SO being a nice and practical sister I gave it to him and I just asked him for his old pencil case...
Pencil case...now that was something striking...
It made me remember my childhood games and monologues.
My favorite past time at class during our little in between breaks
I would stare at my pencils and then get my beloved pencil case
I have this very rad pencil case by the way!
I always felt like I was the coolest kid in class because of my pencil case...
It was unlike everybody else!
so back to the story...It was a metal box with a clear plastic top...
I see that as a coffin... I was always fascinated by coffins and deaths and burials...
I was never the one who would cringe at the sight of death and I would always accompany my mom to funerals and wakes...
creepy as it may all sound I love going to them and I love hearing stories about death and their ghosts.
so ok I'm lost again!
I would have my little ritual almost everyday...
where I place my little pencils, nicely on the cold and neat case and
there would be one- three or sometimes five of them lying there
and I would mumble some weird lines and I would pretend to cry for them and bless their little souls made of rubber, wood and lead. Making a scene like it was from an actual wake and burial. It wasn't a pretty sight...but it was striking...very much appealing to me!
I can imagine it all now...
I could paint a scene from my past...
That's not where my bizarre antics end!
I would watch addams family as soon as it hits the tube... I would throw a fit if my brother would change the channel...I would cry! I was in love with Gomez!
I loved everything that was un-worldly and creepy...
I would think about suicide and poisons...
Knives and bloodied hands
cemeteries and sarcophagus...
This is not an exaggerated hyperbole (well! wow! how redundant!)
this is an understatement
a taste of what was going on my mind when I was four or five
up to now...
I was into goosebumps and I'm sure I'm one of their first fans here in the Philippines.
I would try and have a seance with my normal friends...but all failed!
I would indulge everyday and every night in ghosts and vampire stories!
I would write tragedies on my notebook and then tear it down when my mom will scan my books.
It was my life...I never thought that I was weird...
I was normal!
Normal in the eyes of Gomez and my loving Morticia!
I would devour all the pages of horror novels and all kinds of literature as soon as I got hold of them.
My body would just make a total halt when my eyes would eventually hit a title that has blood/ ghost/ death written on the cover page!
I'm such a psycho kid... dancing and musing with ghastly thoughts.
I was a weird kid with such a warm heart...that got cold over time...
from ghosts to murderers and genocides
wow! I'm making some progress!
obviously it's still all in me...the sordid and morbid thoughts...all stuck in my tiny little crappy brain!
There must be something cosmic about me or something...
the weird fact is... around 9 ++ people died the year I was born...
maybe that was such a huge factor in my personality...
so much death yet fueled with gaiety..what am I?
