Down to Business, Up in the Atmosphere

If I ever end up acquiring any amount of skill as a vocalist, this will be the title of my first album.   


Jus sayin.

Wow.

It's totally been since June that I posted.  

This is awkward.  

I do have an excuse.  I think it's a rather good one in all honesty.  


SUMMER WORK!!

Yeah, I had (for art) ten sketchbook pages, 20 photographs, and a final piece; (for english) two books, read and annotated; and (for Spanish) a book read, ten pages of questions pertaining to that book answered, 19 pages of grammar, ten quizzes, and three articles summarized.  

It took from the middle of June to last night to complete.  I haven't been procrastinating.  Too much.  I've just been busy.  

BUT NOW I'M BACK!!


I've had a little plot bunny named Fred as my best friend for a while, and it tears my heart into little tiny pieces that I haven't been able to put him down on paper. 

BUT NOW I CAN!!


Except that I have lots of homework, but he and I will work soon. 


I'm pretty excited about finishing up one of my old challenges, but I thought I would give you an early present.  


ANGSTY POETRY WITH CAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Here it is.  I wrote it in the middle of the night two weeks ago.  Enjoy.  Or not.  


"Thanks, I Guess"


I had hat hair after wearing your Hawk cap
I didn't care 'cause you liked me back
You were shorter than me and not the most moral
Why did that matter? You called me beautiful


I think about our time and it makes me wanna cry
I'm afraid to admit to me, but I know why
I'm sick of being desired only for what lies on my skin
At the time, I believed that you actually looked within


So you sat, with a box on your head
Later, we'd talk and you'd tell me to not to fret
You said you'd wait until the time was right
I wonder if you knew you were lying that night


And two years later I sit in the same imposition
Still needing to talk, still waiting for you to listen
I expect you're still where you were
Tricking and teasing, just a different girl


I wonder, do you ever feel when she cries
I bet you sit, a sociopath, and look her in the eyes
You tell her it was great, overall, a lot of fun
But you're over her now; it might as well be done


I used to wonder how you came to be so sadistic
Now I know you're just flat-out pathetic
But I know that if you hadn't used me and lied to me first
Other jerks would've done the same and it could've been worse


So thanks, I guess, in a kinda weird way
Thanks for the hurt, ache, hardship, and pain
Before you, I was doe-eyed, naive, innocent
It makes much more sense for me to be a cynic


A Jovial Goodbye from CatCooper<3


P.S. I was listening to "Dog Days Are Over" by Florence + the Machine while I typed this.  I heart that song.  


P.P.S. Next time....more music that doesn't suck!!

P.P.P.S. And some of it is legit hipster music....

P.P.P.P.S. And a certain legal show that has stricken my fancy....

P.P.P.P.P.S. Yes, be excited.  Very excited.
