From her desk, she looked out the window of a corporate building in the city, it was raining out. The humidity and gloominess made Audrey wanted to go home and sleep. She was at work, looking at the time on the lower right corner of her monitor, it read 4:26PM. Only 34 more minutes till she was dismiss from work. Audrey didn't do much at work today except browsing through the internet for her missing fishy lighter that she lost 2 days ago. She has no recollection of when and how the lighter had gone missing. It must have fell out of clothes pockets obliviously. The fishy escaped. It no longer wanted to serve as her lighter. Or maybe the fishy loved her so much that it didn't want Audrey to get lung cancer. It's one of those love/hate relationship. She spent much of her work hours calling all the locations of the store she bought it from, but resulted in disappointments with feedback such as "sorry we don't carry that style anymore" or "yea that's one of our most popular items in the store and it's unfortunately all sold out. We're suppose to get a restock of it but I can't tell you exactly when that will happen." The fishy lighters are not sold out from the store, but just that particular glow in the dark skeleton one is, because everyone wants that one, it's a fucking lighter that glows in the dark. More importantly, that's the one Audrey wanted. Audrey thought about tracking the lighter with locations worldwide but learned from one of the sales that the store does not offer international sales. Meaning that even if they have it in Paris or another country, they would not ship it to the States. Audrey thought the likeliness of the Paris stores having them are hypothetically high, being that the store is originated from France. She wishes that she has friends in Paris that can retrieve the lighter for her. Audrey does not like when things she likes has gone mysteriously missing. She does not like when things she wants cannot be obtained. She will not give up on this fishy lighter. It will be a mission of hers until she retrieves it back.
She spent an hour or so drumming after she came home. Not sleeping, as she has planned. She managed to master playing Cheerleader, one of Grizzly Bear's newest singles. She realized that the phrase "practice makes perfect" applies effectively. She has been obsessively reading the book "Everything is illuminated" and thinks that talking and writing in 3rd person is really fun to do. She decided to blog in place of a fictional character, because she is tired of talking about herself and saying I and me and myself. She plans on continuing blogging about this character which will loosely reflects her personal life, until she thinks of herself or others think of herself as delusional. Audrey chose a fictional character with a name that starts with an A because she is fond of names that starts with an A. She realized this during a brief conversation with her friend last week while strolling on the streets in the East Village. The conversation was about what kind of names she thinks best suitable for her friend instead of her birth name. Audrey suggested Amelia, because she likes the movie Amelia and her character in the movie. She thought about the conversation the other day and realized that she's actually quite fond of names starting with the letter A or has the letter A in it. After even much revolution and elaboration on that thought, she realized that most of her closest friends' names have the letter A in it. She started to find it as an interesting notion.
Audrey accepted to help out her friends who are quite substantial producers in the media industry. The shoot was supposed to be this coming Sunday, but due to the acidic weather, the shoot has been rescheduled to the 17th. Audrey can't determine if that's fortunate or unfortunate, because she just wanted to get it over with, and it was spontaneously being postponed. She is also moderately nervous on the role she has accepted to play, leading to the fortunate part of the misfortune. She now has more time to research and practice how she should take on this role. Audrey did a Nokia commercial with the same crew before, that is why she initially agreed to help again, because she had a good time working with them. It will also be a good reference on her resume, because eventually she will reach out for a job in the media industry again, when the economy gets better. Audrey wants to be a video editor. The producers informed her again at the shoot meeting on Wednesday that the Nokia commercial is currently airing on television in the west coast. Sometimes Audrey wonders, how rapid the commercial airs and on what channels. How likely would someone see it, more importantly, how likely would people recognize her. Audrey also wonders if one day, someone would approach her and say something along the lines like "hey! you're that girl in the Nokia commercial!" or "hey! you look somewhat familiar....have I seen you on T.V!" Not that it has any significance, Audrey just wonders a lot.
Audrey is now sitting on her bed, listening to Fleet Foxes with her eyes close, while still trying to type at the same time. She wonders if she can still type out a comprehensible paragraph if she is typing with her eyes close. She did a testing and these are sample results:
ATTEMPT 1 --- i didn't understand. morning new. you don't say a single word of the lasting years. i didn't understandddddd. noooo. ahhh ahhha hh ahh ahh ahh ahh . see9 dollas in your hand. you try to do what you did before. back to your. theres nohitng i can't dooooooooo. theres nothinggggg i can't dooooooo. theres nothing i can't say. theres nothing i can't sayyyyyy.
