history teacher saga, part 1
so hes pretty chill . adores retro games, constantly angry at the structures weve imposed, pretentious music nerd, honestly should prolly try estrogen, im cool with him . if you didnt skip the short introduction on my capsules index, you may remember that i Really like Will Wood . ive been dying to talk about him to somebody with a brain for ages now, and im pretty sure my friends are Tired of my obsession .
so, of course, i decided id try to infect him with my awesome music taste . he was putting on music so i suggested skeleton appreciation day in vestal ny -- relatively inoffensive lyrics at first listen, softer in sound, everybody loves skeleton appreciation day in vestal ny . him included !
that was my in, i knew it was . i felt it . bile had been writhing in my stomach, years now, and finally burst out in the form of the same structured recommendation on my index . start with AVE, then wwattw, then trww movie it is NOT optional, then everything else chronologically after . he was writing it down . i was IN .
except, over a week later, nothin . ive been soo patient So fucking Patient and Kind and i do want to rip his throat out but instead ive simply been sweating bullets during this period Waiting to hear his opinion on songs he hasnt listened to yet . today, was just the same, except he put on some music .
tom waits . that was enough to make my stomach churn with *hey hey did you know hey did you know will wood ACKSHUALLY cites tom waits as a huge inspiration for his music hey did you know* and i was doing a really REALLY good job of focusing on watching severance instead i was doing So awesome Except it was Chocolate Jesus . the song was chocolate jesus . and practically against my will the words "will wood did a cover of this song actually" convulsed out of my throat . while i was cursing myself and talking more about tom waits being such a huge inspiration at the same time, my teacher was happy to that, and also not surprised . it does show in the sound of skeleton appreciation day quite a lot .
i was relieved, then, when he just started putting on more tom waits songs, after i confessed to not having had listened to much of his work (despite my desire to) . i was most relieved for the silence . i am far too anxious today, to have been talking about any of that like that with that . it needs preparation ! or a screen ! give me a laptop ill go in the other room, we'll converse over a google doc .
when it was finally time to leave i let my toxic radioactive dread-flavored breath free, and he tasked me with becoming a "tom waits expert" . i havent done any schoolwork in years, but i dont think i mind this assignment in particular .
he still hasnt listened 2 eial+self-ish though so he still sux
