What, future? Social security? Dental? Taxes? \ Fuck all this shit. I'm a pony, ponies don't pay taxes yet, I hope. +I lay down on the floor and get comfortable. Nothing much is required from me, +\ I don't need to imitate pleasure, it's gonna come on its own, I'll just be +\ here for some time, that's my job, that's all there is to it. Usually I just +\ drift off to my own fantasy land, but today I was doing something, and it +\ wants my attention. I was typing the first characters of a... text? I don't +\ want to call it a book or a novel or... I'm not sure what form it's gonna take +\ yet, but it will require text, so. Anyway, it was cooking for some time in me, +\ and something's coming, and I want to capture it and see where it's gonna go. + +I want to call it "Boredom", and the basic gist is... maybe "Boredom Simulator", +\ if it's gonna turn interactive somehow down the line? It wants me to try and +\ experiment with something art does quite rarely, at least art that I know of, +\ and that's -- how to put it? -- avoiding unlikely events, maybe, and doing +\ away with anything interesting, on purpose. It's set itself in my head like +\ this: you are a deep space miner on an asteroid, and you have jack shit to do, +\ besides maybe taking care of the mining machines once in a blue moon. Get it? +\ Moon? Anyway. The challenge is to still make it somehow appealing to at least +\ a niche audience. I have to like it myself at least, and if there is indeed +\ nothing going on, well, I don't see how I can achieve that. + +Maybe something does happen after all? Or I could focus on the person's thoughts +\ instead of events? But that would not be conducive to the experiment, because +\ I'm sure that was done many many times already. Constant busywork would also +\ defeat the purpose, however boring it may be. No, the idea is there is nothing +\ to do, and yet you don't stop reading. Maybe you continue reading because you +\ expect something to happen, because something surely must happen, because why +\ would anyone create art where nothing happens? Then if nothing happens, that +\ would count as a subversion of a reader's expectation, which makes the piece +\ postmodern, but leaves the reader very disappointed. + +Maybe nothing happens for a long time, then something does happen and it's +\ a plot twist and then something happens again and again and we're now in +\ an interesting part of the text? That would work, but it feels cheap. I'll +\ leave it as plan B, if I'm unable to do it properly. + +... + +... + +... + +Oh sorry, I was thinking. Some ideas float around, but nothing jumps at me as an +\ obvious way forward. I need a break, let's think about something else. I mean +\ here I am, participating in adult entertainment, maybe I should take a look at +\ myself through the eyes of my imaginary listeners? Where to start? I know, my +\ favourite topic is the long list of my complaints. Not towards anybody in +\ particular, just in general. How it sucks to be me, you know. + The slight problem with being me is the whole lot, but the relevant one is, \ I guess, no audio. No moans, no... No, that's it, no moans. I mean sure, there \ are some sounds: sucking on a gag, horseshoe clacking, chain rustling, I don't
