I was going to write a really long entry about how useless, pretentious, and unabashedly hypocritical you are; then i realized that i couldn't think of what to say. i thought this was because it was too late at night, or that i was too burned out from exams; but then i realized that trying to say something substantial about someone so insignificant, so intellectually anodyne, would be impossible.

sometimes i like to imagine i have superpowers, just so i can picture burning all the people i don't like alive or sucking their brains out through their ears or growing finger on their knees or something. although, according to the law of diminishing marginal utility, i'd eventually grow tired of it. maybe even feel bad about it. sometimes i wonder if it's better to not have enough of something

once in a while, you just need to massacre someone. you need to render him undeniably extinct, defunct, expired. you need to personally see to it that he crosses the threshold between ephemeral pain and endless torment, that he has undeniably been erased from the face of this universe. but then, once in a while there stroms into your life a singular entity for whom, that alone is not enough.
