WHAT IS GETTING ON BEN’S NERVES THIS WEEK.

Dear Carla,

Do as you would be done by or be done by as you did

ANON (Ben’s life motto)

The gods don’t want me to write this letter. I spent all evening shopping for presents for my Dad, after school. Then, I came back and started to feel really sick again. Then it started to pour with rain (I mean pour, like torrential) which gave me a freaking pressure headache. Then I told you I wasn’t going to be writing a letter and then I decided too. Then I started doing my drawing and realised my CAMERA has no battery because I’ve misplace (aka my Dad has lost) my camera batter recharger.

So ASHKSSAD to that.

Wow, I just went out (literally after I finished writing the sentence about “wasn’t going to be writing a letter” to surprise my Mum as she walked back in the torrential rain and seriously I swear weirdo people only come out at night. I passed:

Four guys dressed in exactly the same black skinny jeans/black jacket/check shirt combo; some of my friend’s friends climbing the gate into the deserted park that is LOCKED FOR A REASON at night (i.e two rapes and a stabbing (which my sister heard – the stabbing, I mean, she was in the park at the time)); some ladies celebrating something singing karaeoke; a guy dressed too much like a woman for his own good; a few more guys dressed like women and a girl who was running into the muddiest puddles possibly in her school shoes.

So yeah, pretty weird.

I don’t know if this is just me, but because I watch so many “cult comedy shows” if you could call them that, I often walk around thinking of things from pop-culture and wondering how I could put them in my own little sitcom. It really is very sad, and I’ll show you an example that I dreamed up whilst walking to get my mum (this is rubbish, by the way):

Yeah, but isn’t like those fish from Finding Nemo? Cute in the movie, but if you really saw them in real life you’d think they were all slimy and disgusting and eurghg.

When I think about it I think about Tina Fey saying it. In 30 Rock. To Jack. Or Jenna.

Sorry, I’m getting off topic but for once I really have no idea what to write. I really loved your letter by the way. It was so true and I really felt for “Celia”. Celia seemed like a sweet kid. I bet she’d write awesome blogs.

Don’t call me dumb, but I had no idea what the “ANTHRAX SCARE” was. But I’m reading about it now and it’s really creeping me out. Please don’t tell me I’m the only one who read about crimes and such and just feels super creeped.

Like, you probably haven’t heard about this because for some reason (no offence to the good old U.S of A) America never reports on world news, a couple of days ago a billionare shot his wife and daughter to death and then burnt himself and his house down to the ground. Now reading about that seriously terrified. That is the real terror in the world. Someone with the insanity to murder their own family member. Someone who has the lack of mentality to be able to look his wife in the eye and kill her… that’s terrifying to me. Gore really doesn’t faze me. I mean, it’s a bit gross but it’s not SCARY. And yeah jumps in movies are scary at the time, but nothing is haunting to me.

I actually spend a lot of time looking up scenes from famous horror movies to see if they scare me. Saw? Nope. The Shining? Nope (even though he does try and kill his wife and kids he never does… so yeah…) The Exorcist? YES. The Exorcist is disgusting and not in a “BIBLE BELT OF AMERICA SAYS THIS IS DISGUSTING! I KISSED A GIRL AND I LIKED IT AND THEN I WENT TO HELL” kind of way. No, it really is just plain disgustingly scary. I would link to the scene that made me feel sickened the most in that film, but I don’t really feel like reliving it. It’s just. EURGH.

NOW ONTO A SUPER QUICK:

Stupid people who think that whatever side they would vote for if they had the opportunity is the only way to go and try and pull other people down because they think differently. AGRHRHR.

I really hate when people try to start conversations about things that they know the other person disagrees with and then when the other person is disagreeing they don’t stop arguing.

Okay,

Lots of love,

Your fishcakey about to have dinner friend,

Ben.

P.S I will have my drawing up when I have my camera recharger back. Your title for the drawing is: FREE
