Tense Past

Have you ever felt confused and energized, intrigued and in awe? All at the same time, all in these… bursts? 

Yea no me neither LOL

at least not before I opened that first unlabeled box from the black room. I never knew there was so much paper in the universe! But yeah, since i was kind of in a hurry to get this excursion into the graveyard of history over with i just dumped everything on the livingroom floor. 

surprise!

NO PHOTOS

Just some loose papers and some diaries. 

Or are they journals? can anybody tell me the difference? 

ANYWAY 

so yeah, also i kind of ran into a tiny glitch… 

Ok this is kind of hard to explain so bear with me (roar)

so imagine a round space that is kind of staggered, like, steps all round, but those steps make up the floor of the place. But they’re not steps, not exactly- it’s like… layers of foundation? Jeez, i;ve been in there too long lolol

OH YEAH But here’s what i was saying so like I barely managed to get this box out because for whatever reason even though the room isn’t smelling like dead rat anymore, there’s still something off. I get dizzy if i’m in there for longer than a few minutes at a time, right, so i decided to do it all in one day, with breaks in between. 

But what i found out was that after the first venture, no matter how long I rested, I couldn’t go back in. I mean i tried you guys i swear, but i literally passed out. 

maybe theres a gas leak or something but i dont think theres gas in that room. what does gas look like? 

ANYWAY so as i was basically trying to reset the box one of the diary things caught my interest, and uh… 

YEAH YEA I KNOW

I SAID I HATE READING
SO WHAT

DO I CONTRADICT MYSELF? VERY WELL THEN I CONTRADICT MYSELF, I AM LARGE, I CONTAIN MULTITUDES 


… sorry lol 

but yeah i’m actually diggin it. I mean i have no idea if all this is my own writing obviously, but it does resonate somehow so i wouldn’t be surprised. What’s also weird is that I can’t figure out exactly why these diary journal things in particular were sealed up all nice in this box (i mean before i just flung it all to the ground liek a beast LOL) because i’m pretty sure i saw similar ones lying around near where i got this box. weird?

anyway to get back to the original point of this post (aka the good ol days)!

I was going to go in every day to get one box out per day, but once i started reading i was kind of drawn in, and so i thought hey, this might actually be a change to post something that isn’t A COMPLETE WASTE OF YOU GUYSES TIME LOL

So I spent the week reading and I’m getting a lot out of it. I was gonna tell yall about it right here in the post but I wanna finish reading at least one of these things first before i post. I’m halfway through the first one, so next week i’ll be posting something a little different than usual.

Stay tuned!
And yes, kess, i’m gonna go back in. But you aint comin for a year so hold yer horses LOL
