Haven't done shit today, not gonna do shit today.

Thought, 'What if I ran against Poncho Peligroso for the position of Poet Laureate 2012?'

Had a dream that I lost a bunch of twitter followers.

Here are two extracts from an email I sent Maggie Lee:
I got into the internet lit stuff at the beginning of last year. I was reading Spike Jonze's wikipedia page trying to find out what his next project was going to be after Where The Wild Things Are. I found out he had bought the rights to Light Boxes by Shane Jones. I looked into Shane Jones and found out about Publishing Genius Press and HTMLGiant. I bought some books and read stuff. I added some writers on facebook. I was a fan but I didn't contribute to the scene at all. Then around April(?) this year three things happened: I became facebook friends with Steve Roggenbuck (I can't remember who added who) and we commented back and forth a lot on a wall post, Let People Poems was launched and I posted a poem there and got a good response which gave me confidence, and one day for no real reason I wrote everything is fantastic on a few hundred people's walls. Everything has just grown from there
and
I will never complete this novel


How do people read really long books?

Why does my interview on HTMLGiant only have two comments?

I paid Vimeo $10US to let me upload a video that was larger than the size they allow you to upload for free. I now have Vimeo Plus or something. Can I monetise my crappily produced videos?

I feel fat.

Here are my two least publicised social media accounts:

I have a new form that I am trying on twitter:

The poetic technique I have been using the most lately is 'I put the _ in _'. Thanks Chris Toll.

I might be part of the 1%

Whenever someone uses the word fantastic I get excited.

I have also been making use of the poetic technique where you put the word sometimes in front of a line.

This post isn't going to have any pictures.

Yesterday I thought about how easy it is to get lost in the internet and convince yourself that you are talented. (You being me)

I wish this ustream would start so that I would be distracted from myself.

I have been posting a lot of rap videos on facebook recently.

Jordan Castro is the person I have asked the most questions on formspring.

I used to think that formspring was called forumspring.

How do I get more notes on my tumblr posts?
The one with the goal of getting 100 notes only got 35.

If I'm not going to write my novel I should at least read something. What should I read?

I am listening to Jay-Z.

Does adding labels to my blog posts get more people to see them?

I should eat lunch. What should I eat?

THE END

Tomorrow I hope to:
Finish reading this lydia davis book
get out some dvds
write 500 words in this novel im writing (OH LOOK AT ME I"M WRITING A NOVEL WHO GIVES A FUCK no it's not part of nanowrimo)
go for a run
watch that ustream
seems pretty busy.

This evening I got a call on my cellphone. I hate phonecalls. Usually I don't answer. SOmetimes my sister gets mad at me for not answering the home phone. Tonight I answered. It was my old flatmate. He had accidentally transferred $150 dollars into my account and wanted it back. I talked to him. then went to send the money back but realised I didn't kknow his account number. I texted to ask for it but realised that I had texted the wrong sSimon@! Anyway it all got sorted in the end. It was okay

I really need to trim my fingernails.

I'm sleepy/tired. I sent a photo of my penis to someone the other day and they kept going on about how big it was. I don't think it's that big.

I want to have one more sizable paragraph but I don't know what it should be about. My dad read grow up by Ben Brooks. We went for a run together tonight. We talked a little about funny moments in the book. I really liked the knock knock joke. DISCO/NNECT. My dad asked me how I thought this book compared to Tao Lin (HE HAS READ SOME TAO LIN ALSO). I said I thought they were different/ trying to do different things. I said although I viewed Ben as being part of the same internet scene (LOOSELY) comparing this book to Tao's work wasn't very useful. We both agreed that grow up is a more traditional novel. Hi Ben. Hi Tao. Hi Caro.

this book seems sweet because it's only forty pages and the type is large
