tales from an ordinary world

1999-09-13

I'm a rolling stone all alone and lost
For a life of sin I have paid the cost
When I pass by, all the people say
"Just another guy on the lost highway"
Hank Williams.

I hate sounding so pathetic, so I'll keep this one short. Despite the wonderful weather, and a generally stress-free working day, I couldn't shake this feeling of loneliness and disaffection - it was like the bubble between me and the world had become ten times as thick as usual, and there was an "avoid at all costs" sign stuck to my forehead. After standing at the counter of the fish & chip shop for 5 minutes, they still hadn't taken my order, so I gave up and walked home. My housemate's out for the night, so it's just me and my Hank Williams CD. The world seems so far away tonight. I'm scared.
