No! I'm not like, trying to find it. It is! You know what I mean? It is in flux, and it will always be in flux so I'm not looking for [my identity]. Cause that doesn't even make sense to me. Ha ha ha!
Um, the camping one cause family's important to me and it was really fun hanging out with my brothers and uh.... that's why I chose that one. It was also like the first time that my brothers were hanging out with Maya, and that was a big deal for me too. Even though she's not in the picture she's taking the picture, but... so, uh... that was a big deal too. It was a good, it was a really good time. This one cause it shows my family - Maya and our, our puppy Argus. And we were out and about and that's what we did a lot this summer. That's what I want to do a lot in my life, I want to be out and about with my family.
Um, I spent half my life sleeping on the floor in my mom's house, ha ha ha, in the hallway there. Cause um, my mom used to sit, there was a kitchen table right here, and my mom used to be sitting at the kitchen table every night... and ah, reading her newspaper, she still does it, every night she reads the newspaper. And, so it was my bedtime and I didn't want to leave my mom cause I was very attached to her. So I wanted to sleep, but I wasn't allowed to sleep in the kitchen, because the kitchen is not a place to sleep, ha ha ha, according to my mom. So I chose the next best thing and I slept in the doorway, ha ha ha. And then before she went to bed, she'd pick me up and put me in bed. But yeah, ah, everybody, my whole family always remembers me sleeping on the floor ...I wonder what happened to that blanket?
I have no idea, I don't remember myself as a kid really. Other than the fact that I ate a lot of candy... I can't really remember anything. Like I don't remember the way I thought when I was a kid. Like I don't remember if I was happy or if I was sad, or if I was like angry, you know what I mean? I've tried to think about it and I can't remember how I thought when I was a kid. I'm sure I thought nothing was fair, ha ha ha, but that's all I can remember thinking.
Good! I'm happy with uh, the choices that I've made, I have no regrets, well I have one regret but uh... I didn't take a cinnamon bun one day when I should have, ha ha ha. It's my only regret. I was at somebody's house and Maya and I were leaving in the morning, these people we barely knew, we stayed with in Halifax... You can't put this in your thing, but I'll tell you the story anyway... Anyways, so we're leaving and she'd just homemade cinnamon buns and she was like icing them, and she was like, "Do you guys want one?" And we were like "That's ok." And she was like "No, have one, I made them for you!" So we like, shared one, and as we were in the car driving away to the airport, we were like "Oh my god, these are the best things we've ever eaten in the whole world. We should have each had one." My only regret is that I didn't take a stupid cinnamon bun for myself, we shared one.
I don't know if I remember feelings that well, through pictures. I think that most of my best moments weren't pictures, photographed. You know? Like most of the really fun times, we weren't caught up in taking pictures we were caught up in having that good time, then and there. So you don't have pictures of those really good times you have pictures of the ok times where you're like "Ok, get together!" but by then you've lost it. You know what I mean?
I just, sorry, I just thought of the fact that I was between my two brothers, and I'm not between them in age, but I think that I, when I was younger anyways, like when I lived at home, I was like close to him, and I was close to him, but they like hardly ever talked to each other, and they like weren't close to each other at all. And I think that maybe it's a little symbolic that I was between the two of them. cause I was like the... the glue between the siblings in a way even though they both fought with me.
No, I like the fact that it's me being alone. Cause sometimes you're alone, and you need to be, you know? You need to be happy and ya need to celebrate and have a good time and party. Even when you're... you know? When you're alone. Playing in the snow! Fuckin' around, ya, totally! Ha ha ha. Nobody used to ever want to go play outside with me... oh I see a boot in the background.... but I do remember that we had a backyard and I used to always be like "Yeah! Lets go play in the snow!" and my brothers never wanted to and my parents never wanted to. And I used to just go and play in the backyard and then I'd be like "mom look at my snowman!" and she'd be like "yeah, whatever." Ha ha ha. But I had to, you know, amuse myself. |
