Ryan's Girlfriend Ch1

The first chapter of what will likely turn into another short novel.

Research

Thu Nov 19, 2009, 5:49 PM
Researching is possibly one of the lamest activities I could force myself to do without pounding nails into my own face as a distraction. Even now as I'm researching something which should potentially be quite interesting I'm bogged down by so much useless garbage that I have to sift through to find the little nuggets of information that will actually help me. Actually interviewing people seems to be the best way to do things, unfortunately the time I can spend with people outside of a workplace or gym of somekind is slim. Shit even when I'm able to talk to people I somehow get asking only one or two direct questions that pertain to my acutal topic of interest before I'm being verbally dragged into another completely different topic which may or may not be interesting. Admittedly, having the safety officer show me videos of drunk people falling over and putting holes in walls with thier foreheads was pretty hilarious, it also gave me an excuse to not work for a bit. However, it did not help me one little bit. I explain in pretty good detail the exact circumstances of what I need and try to glean information about a few narrow points, next thing I know I've got twelve pages of police case studies and god knows what else about something only vaguely related. I won't even bother talking very much about the internet. I'm sure the information is there, but I'll never find it through all the wasted cyberspace. I wonder if it's better to use plain or coated nails while hammering them into the nasal cavity. What a cool party trick. I bet I could get THAT information on the first try too, never the shit I actually need.
Fuck! Ah!
Ok, I'm better now.

You ever walked through downtown Calgary and talked your way out of accepting drugs, prostitutes, or a stabbing from one of your friendly neighborhood dealers? No? Well why the hell not? It makes for a great story.
When was the last time you ever stood on top of a mountain? It helps keep your life in perspective.

:iconkatiekip:
thanks for the
really nice comment (:
i ended up deleting the poem/ whatever because someone that i didn't want to read it, read it. lol stupid of me. but yeah, i'll be sure to check out some of your work when i'm not so completely out of it heh thanks again, for being nice (:
:iconboonlike:
I'm glad you appreciated it. I know how it goes to have to hide writing from certain eyes occasionally. I put almost all my work on Facebook so my friends and family can see it, but that poem never quite made it there. Not just because it sucks though, it had the possibility of causing some problems with people I actually like.
Well I hope you're feeling better soon, but not just so you can read my stuff. People that feel like shit just aren't as fun as people who don't.
:iconkatiekip:
yeah, i know what you mean ><
i don't ever post up my writings on facebook
because i feel like some people don't need
to know that side of me hahah but i guess that's
kinda bad too .__.'
thanks for being so nice (:
and i definitely WILL read your stuff, just because
i wanna. i try not to let it show that i feel
crappy, so i hope i'm still fun haha
:iconboonlike:
I'm sure you are still fun. It's easier for me to put up most of my writings on facebook because I write stories not poetry, any insights into any problems I may be having can be casually written off as pure imagination, wheras poetry tends to come from a differnt part of an author's soul. However, I still claim ignorance to that part of the soul, I'll stick with storywriting methinks.
:iconkatiekip:
ooh i understand now, what you
mean. i'm one who is fueled by emotions,
which really gets me into bad situations
hahah but uh, i guess that's why i write
poetry / perspectives. i also used to write
stories, but i never think far ahead to finish.
