I'm getting more and more tired of seeing people lying to me about my appearance. Always complimenting me out of pity. I just wish they would stop. Be honest. Or just shut up, for God's sake. But don't lie. And don't tell me to see a psychiatrist because I can do that if I want to, whenever I want, and me just telling the truth about myself isn't a reason for that.

When you go to read the doctor's prescription later and see the guy's handwriting…

Why are there only waves here? Did the guy recommend a beach for me, is that it?

These past few days I had another one of my dreams about Johns… where I had reunited with him after that whole phase of anorexia and depression he went through. And then we spent practically the whole night together, me saying "Hey, man, don't give up, we love you!", and him quiet, almost wanting to cry, and me giving him hugs and kisses, on the mouth, on the face, and wanting to go back in the dream to take care of him somehow…

So I asked the internet why, even during that unfortunate phase, the girls still seemed to prefer Dan to the other two (Ben and Chris), since many of them seemed to like the "stronger and more muscular" ones… I got the answer that, for many of them, his vulnerability wasn't a "weakness," but rather a purity of soul. Dan had very delicate and symmetrical facial features, which his thinness accentuated, creating a "fallen angel" look. And There is a psychological instinct for protection and care that vulnerable figures evoke, which often mixes with romantic attraction.

So that's it, I must have had the dream because in my mind I felt the urge to go back there and take care of him. Respecting his wish to be alone, of course, but wanting to help the boy in some way. Wanting to say, "Hey, I'm here. We love you. Be strong," something like that.

Ah, but with that sweet face and the gentleness that his body and aura conveyed, who wouldn't want to take care of him and stay close to him?

A good sunny Sunday morning (09:42 here where I live) to go out and hang around on some scaffolding, like Vedder, to escape boredom.

Happy 27th anniversary to Neon Ballroom, Silverchair's 3rd album! My highlights are: Paint Pastel Princess (a snippet of it is in the video), Spawn (Again), Point of View, Ana's Song, Miss You Love, and Anthem for the Year 2000.

You again, dude?

Just so you know: the bed is mine, there's only one blanket, and whatever's in the fridge in the kitchen is mine too.

Joannou giving a subtle smile; Hoppus giving a sideways smile; Gillies staring who-knows-where; and Johns like, "What am I doing here? I want to leave" 😀
