New Journal on the Block

He's my co-worker at the store, ermm..actually he's the assistant store manager. Last week he got a new journal, that bought together with the store manager (inspired by my lime green journal, they said). Yesterday, he showed me that he got a new crafty, semi-new-hobby according to his recent job and it is collecting labels from cd samplers. He begun from the last page of his journal, since the actual first page was for the official thingy. My, my...

I found out it's kinda great too! I remembered as I was a kid, I collected fuzzy stickers and bursted into tears if my friend stole it at lunch break *shit*.

Cobain just left the note above unfinished. I looked over his handwriting, not that fancy type, but readable and make the journal so intense. Later on, I found a how to read a Kurt Cobain's Journal.

"Heart-shaped Box"

She eyes me like a pisces-when I am weak

I've been buried in your heart-shaped box for weeks

I've been drawn into your magnet tar pit trap

I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black

Hey wait-I've got a new complaint

for ever in debt to your priceless advice

Hate-wait-

She fries me like cold ice cream-headaches & chills.

I'll cook my own meals.
