I never knew a time when my Ma wasn't off her nut.

After my father left, after I was born- guess all that did something to her. She was a religious crazy. Did things like keep me in the house for days, readin' bible verses like it'd chase something out of me. Didn't really get the chance to make many friends, on account of that. Also on account of ( Read more... )

You're the one who brought the fliers.

Don't know what yer talkin' about.

renegare July 12 2011, 10:30:23 UTC

The fliers. In spring.

They left a mess.

taravata July 13 2011, 02:17:26 UTC

And what did those fliers say?

Nothing wrong with being alone.

taravata July 12 2011, 04:26:24 UTC

That's what I always thought. [ Shrug. ] Think.

withloadedguns July 12 2011, 05:32:37 UTC

Yeah.

If it's not what you think, I guess that's up to you to figure out.

taravata July 12 2011, 06:35:55 UTC

Don't know if it's worth figurin' out. I got other priorities.

... Different kinds doesn't change the feeling, though--does it?

taravata July 12 2011, 04:41:34 UTC

Ain't a nice feelin', but it ain't so bad. Compared to other things.

veritaphobia July 12 2011, 07:52:42 UTC

Well, yes, I've heard a lot of things are better in context. Still--loneliness seems a bit of a different case.

taravata July 13 2011, 02:11:41 UTC

It's like an annoying bug. It nags. But it ain't gonna kill you.

I've got somewhere. Don't really help much with the ticking when you're on your own, though.

taravata July 13 2011, 02:25:53 UTC

Kinda digs into your skull after awhile. Reminding you and crap.

You just got here?

braveasalion July 14 2011, 21:50:01 UTC

Kind of. I thought I'd get used to it, but I'm not so sure I can now.

A few weeks ago, yeah.

taravata July 15 2011, 07:19:07 UTC

You got a lot of stuff on you yet?

Hi there,
I am a huge fan of Carnivale. I was killing time, oddly checking to see if my use of "Every prophet in his house." was correct, and found this entry. I loved it! That last line about loneliness was killer.

So strange that phrase led me to such a terrific read, thought I'd mention it. Hope you're still receiving alerts from the site so you get to hear this bit of applause from the cheap seats. I hope you're still writing!
