Monologues in My Head: February 2010

It is the Moon

Lately the moon has been very bright.

It was shining through my window last night.

I thought someone was shining a flashlight on me, trying to disturb my sleep.

But it was the moon.

I lose sleep.

So much sleep.

I wake to the brightness of the moon.

No, it's not the moon.

It's the sun.

But I thought it was the moon.

I need to sleep.

I put my eye mask on and return to sleep in the darkness.

I wake to noise.

What noise disturbs me?

The garbage truck?

Car doors are slamming?

Gun shots?

Could it be gun shots?

There are drunk people yelling.

But I need sleep.

I need to go to sleep.

Something is keeping me awake.

It is the moon.

It has been awfully bright recently.

It shines through my window.

Is it the sun?

No, not the sun.

Is it a flashlight?

No, not a flashlight.

It is the moon.

I Want to Leave

I want to get away from here.

I'm sick of my life right now.

I'm sick of being in a town where I hardly know anyone. And the people that I do know, I don't wish to hang out with because some of them hate me for reasons unknown.

But I miss my friends.

I miss my cat.

I miss my house at home.

Sometimes I wish I had money to just leave.

To go where ever my heart desires.

Drive.

Just drive and never turn back.

Never have to worry about anyone that doesn't like me.

Never have to worry about classes that make my brain explode.

Never have to worry about having a job to make money to live.

To live.

I need money to live.

I need people to live.

I need a life to live.

But my life is not fun right now.

I want to leave.

I WANT TO LEAVE!

I'm bored.

I'm lifeless.

I'm sad and lonely.

Can I be on a boat?

I want to soak up sun on the sand.

Can I sleep in a bed that isn't mine?

I want room service.

I just want to take my camera, my notebook and pen, and my non-existent iPod and just leave.

That's all I need.

That's all I want.

I want to get away.

Dear Sarah Palin:

Dear Sarah Palin,

You're not a celebrity, stop acting like an attention whore.

Stop trying to create hype towards you to get publicity.

You stepped down from your position of governor of Alaska, so wouldn't that imply that you want to stray away from the public eye?

Stop making speeches about issues that no one wants your opinion on. As far as I'm concerned, you're a has-been who can't learn when to shut her mouth.

I just read an article about the Family Guy episode where they made fun of you.

You claim they were making fun of your son who has down-syndrome.

Um, hello - the actress who did the voice has down-syndrome.

Wouldn't you think that someone with it would take more offense to it IF it were offensive?

Stop trying to get sympathy from people.

And also - it doesn't make quite much sense for you to say it's OK for Rush Limbaugh to use the word "retard" when using "satire" to describe Democrats. Now you're just contradicting yourself.

Thinking about running for president in 2012?

Why?

Why would someone trust you to run if you've already given up your position as governor?

Just stop messing with the media.

Stop trying to be in the lime light.

Stop making a fuss over things no one cares about.

Learn when to keep your mouth shut and how go be a grandma.

I'm sure your grandson could use someone in their life who is normal and he's not going to live a normal life if you keep opening your mouth to the public.
