even silence is noisy

"I want you to get into the deep beautiful melancholy of everything that's happened."
-Claire's advice to Drew in "Elizabethtown."

I ignore the trivial events of life. I am aloof to the drama of social interaction. Deep feeling about anything besides death, sex, or art is foreign to me.

I've been waiting for a Claire to come trip me up. I've been waiting for someone to drown me in my own drama and make me stupid like a real person. I've been waiting for someone to make me care care deeply about the trivia. I've been waiting for someone to make me feel the pettiest of emotions.

I can count the people who have pulled me into drama on one hand.

Naturally, I pettily miss them.
