Monday, Properly Boring
Monday. School. Excellent mark. Tea. Four biscuits. Homework. MSN. Shower. Bed soon. I am strangely grateful for boring. Remember me, Eclipse.
There is a manner in which certain things ask to be written, not so that they may be found, but because to exist in silence, for too long, eventually becomes insufficient. It is not urgency. It is something closer to a necessity that makes no noise, waiting patiently until it discovers the proper form. This archive was born in such a way.
Not as a diary. Not as a blog. Not as something that is updated merely for the sake of appearing alive. It is a place where certain thoughts come to rest, those which do not dissolve, those which return, those which insist with the silent obstinacy of things that truly belong to you...

Thursday. I wasn’t going to write this because I don’t know what I’m allowed to say when I didn’t know him properly. Somebody from the scene died. I heard one...
Sunday. Four biscuits. No questions. Remember me, Eclipse.
Saturday. I have no idea how many people were there. Enough that finding anybody after losing them became an engineering problem. Heat, smoke, flyers under everybody’s shoes, lights cutting through...
Wednesday. Pi day if you write dates incorrectly. I remain amused despite the methodological problem. Remember me, Eclipse.
Saturday. Dad knows when something is bothering me before I decide whether something is bothering me. This is inconvenient. We were walking after lunch and he asked one completely ordinary...
Friday. Genova tomorrow morning. Bag packed. Four outfits for approximately thirty-six hours. This is reasonable because weather exists. Dad says I need one pair of jeans. Dad is not involved...
Monday was completely normal and I resent it for taking this long. Remember me, Eclipse.
Why?
