Is it for me? I mean, its amazing and brilliant and all but I'm sure I know the plot from some blog. Still, wonderful, I'll read it a few times.

Okay now I'm on about 5 and I'm still not getting bored. I'm thinking there's some magical property in those green squares. mesemerising, mesmerising, mesmerising..

Thanks.

Monopoly has been sleeping over for a long time now. I wonder what happened to his parents. He's been playing TV games pretty much non stop since he got here. I gave him some money to go buy us a new TV game. When he came back he said he forgot to buy it.

"Oh yeah, about that money I gave you for the game. Have you still go that?"

"No."

"Oh, okay." I looked at him kindly. "Did you lose it?"

"Hey look, man." He got angry. "You gave Moe that money. Why can't I have this money?"

"Moe delivers my pizza. I tip him."

"Yeah well, he wasn't delivering pizza then. He just slept over."

I was beginning to feel guilty, "I was saying 'thank you for coming.' There's nothing wrong about that."

"Yeah well, I've been here for a lot longer than him, so where's my tip?"

He was right. I said that I would give him some money, but I just wanted that money back. He said no. He said he was keeping that money.

With all the TV game-playing that he does we don't watch any TV. He dies a lot at the games so I get bored sometimes and don't watch him. I usually go on MySpace then. I don't think Moe died as much as him. Moe was better.

I managed to write a scene form the sitcom that I've been planning. It's not much. But it's something.

In the first episode of the sitcom:

Scene 1:

It is dark and there is lighting flashing and there is thunder that you can hear. In the living room is the father. He is just sitting on the couch watching the television in front of him. But it is off. You can just make out his figure and when the lighting flashes you can see that he has got a space-helmet next to him.

The mother walks in. She is in contrast with the spooky mood of the living room. She turns on the lights as she enters the room and it reveals a scene far less scary than it first seemed. The father is actually overweight. The non-intimidating type of overweight. He has got a nervous smile on. The space-helmet next to him turns out to actually be a big bowl of popcorn. He is tame.

He says, "Hello, Honey." He looks scared.

She looks at him and turns his head to the side and smiles lovingly. Like Celene does. She walks up to him and without any space for a resistance on his part and kisses him on the cheek and picks up the bowl of popcorn in one fluid movement.

She says to him, "Popcorn is bad for you. It betrays a life of shallow neccesity. I've got a veggie bake in the oven"

He nods shyly. She turns on the television. Then she walks out. A voice on the TV asks another character on TV if she is gone yet. The audience on the TV laughs. With this the father looks at the door and mimics the line that he just heard, "Has she gone yet?"

With an over-the-top movement he pretends to dive at the remote next to him and then dramatically turns the TV off. Our laugh track laughs. It is the same laugh track as the audience from the TV show that he was just watching.

I like to think that everything that other people does is a shallow necessity.

I'm sorry if I don't live up to your expectations of me.

I guess that's the price you pay for being different.

Peace.

I woke up from a dream where I was escaping by dodging and killing all these guards everywhere. Every time I didn't kill them right I had to start again.

Monopoly punched me really hard in the chest, I fell down and I didn't even cry or scream or anything. I just sat there and looked at the floor. I was so still.

Monopoly didn't say anything. I could tell he was staring at me. I can tell by the type of silences that people use. He wasn't sorry. You could tell by how it felt. I was just staring at the floor and he didn't care. He was so angry.

Monopoly thought I was going to eat him. I couldn't sleep, the kitchen floor makes me wish I was dead and I just dreamt that I helped this girl escape. I realised right as I walked out of the main gates that one of the guy prisoners who I barely knew had followed us the whole time. We got back to my neighbourhood and I had to go home to pick up weapons. I had to meet them at a restaurant in a few minutes.

Monopoly is gone now. I could say that it's because I told him that Moe was better than him. This was before he punched me. I wanted to watch TV. He said that I should just sit down and watch him play. He said that I'm always saying how fun it is to watch him play. I told him that Moe died less than him and then he spat at me.

When I got to the restaurant in the dream they were already becoming friends. I walked up to them and started talking about the next adventure that we'd go on. I meant me and the girl. They both just listened. They didn't say no, they just didn't really seem to be enthusiastic. I was the odd one out.

I woke myself up, walked over to my bed and looked over the baby resting. Tried not to stare, but his hands were shaking. My body slowly lowered onto the bed. I reached over to pull the blanket across us. He jumped and twisted his body in panic and thrashed. I pushed myself back and motioned him to stop, but he didn't.

He was running at me over the bed and across the floor. I stepped back once more and looked him squarely in the eyes. I wanted to tell him that I was a shark and that I would live forever and that I wanted to go on an adventure, but he just punched me in the chest.

I fell down and stared at the floor. He was looking at me but I was just staring at the floor.

In the dream that I had I could have told the girl that she had to come with me. I saved her from the guards. I could have taken her on an adventure with me, but do you know what would happen then? That guy would tag along and totally ruin it and then the whole time they would just gang up on me and whine about how I forced her to come with. Do you see what I mean?

Yeah, I didn't want to kick him out, but he left anyway.

I'll get my corporates to get hold of you.

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!
