An Interview with the Past

I thought I'd make up some questions that I could answer every now and then and see what sort of changes in my life are happening.

Q. How are you?

A. I feel like I'm losing my mind. Lately I haven't been socializing but instead trapped in my own routine, like some dystopian version of my usual life. The uni work has been piling up and-

Q. What's the most exciting thing that's happened to you since we last talked?

A. Sometimes I catfish old men on the Internet to raise my self-esteem.

Q. You make it sound like it's not your fault. Be honest- how was it your fault?

A. Well, it's more society's fault for putting undue pressure on people to be happy outside of their own gestalt, while also penalizing people on awkward social matters to the point where only the anonymity of the Internet can armour people to express themselves.

Q. Drink of the day?

A. Irish coffee, with instant coffee and gin (it's all I have, other than red wine and vermouth). It was going to be martinis but I've had quite enough of those lately.

Q. Favourite outfit you've worn recently?

A. Three-piece tuxedo (black), with cuff links, pocket square, with a black bowtie with a floral blue pattern to match a blue TARDIS pin on my left lapel.

Q. Most recent thing you've learned?

A. There's a new musical called Hamilton about the life of one of America's founding fathers Alexander Hamilton. I did not know that France allied themselves with America when America seceded from England.

Q. So, what are you working on now?

A. Class presentation for Chinese Film Genres, outlining the synopsis of a play I'm collaborating on, and working on my own play which I want to talk about at a later date.

Q. Any other thoughts?

A. “The past is another country. They do things differently there”.
