On books and guns

I'm quickly becoming the protagonist of my third novel. (I actually think it's going to be the first one that I get published.) The name of the novel is... um... The Bodies. Or The Dead or something like that. The other two are called Flesh and The Losers. I started writing Flesh almost two years ago. I've had a crush on all the characters ever since. I don't know why, but when it comes to fictional individuals, I'm strangely (and proudly) bisexual.



(^ That song is fucking good, listen to it right now.)

I stopped writing Flesh four months ago. I needed a break. It's an extremely difficult book to write. It's a bit like Atlas Shrugged but it's for and about the good guys. It's so political and weird that I just really need to have fun for a while and write about simpler things like Marilyn Monroe and vaginas and guns and punk rocking 15-year-old girls.


The loser book is another headache. I don't know how to carry it out... It needs to be perfect. The idea is perfect. The plans are perfect. I just have great trouble trying to figure out how to actually write it.


All I know is I really love the people I've created. To me, they are real. They exist. They are my friends, I think about them almost 24/7.


The hero of Bodies is... me, I guess. All my protagonists are angry young men, but this guy is me. (His name is Tommi, or Tommyboy as James Dean calls him, while my name is      .) His life is only a bit different from mine. And now I see myself becoming him, starting to make plans, starting to think about maybe living in a flat exactly like his, doing exactly what he's doing and so on. So that maybe, maybe one night I might just go out for a walk and stumble upon Marilyn Monroe and James Dean.



(James Dean's face is perfect. Or was. Now it's just bones under the ground or I don't know.)

For my future fans reading this right now (your now) in 2018: I will write a book in English some day. I already know the name of it: Letters to Kip Kinkel.


Kip Kinkel: killed his parents, spent the night listening to a movie soundtrack and then went and shot 2 kids at his school. Failed to kill himself. (I'd do that too, but I like my parents.)

To be honest, I've planned out pretty much everything. I have a file in the depths of my computer called notes.docx. At the moment it contains drafts for 16 books. Not all of them are going to actually become books - I'm going to take the best of the ideas and turn them into international bestsellers.



I should go to bed. But it's so difficult. I have too much to do, too much to think about.




Lately humans have been more pleasant than usually. And when people are pleasant, I don't hate this species as deeply as normally, and when I don't hate this species, I am able to be relatively happy.



I've almost written 3 fucking books and I haven't even lost my virginity yet. In fact, I haven't even kissed anyone. I've just sat in my room with a radio, and a guitar that I have no idea how to play. + ridden public transportation sometimes.


I'm a very extraordinary 18-year-old. Most 18-year-olds are boring. I just wanna go and strangle them and eat them.

Not really. Or...?



Stop touching yourself.

    1. Thank you for reminding me that this post exists.

      Now I feel sad and annoyed, because I used to be so annoying and pretentious, and also because I can no longer allow myself to be so annoying and pretentious. I am a bitter old man
