SHIRLEY DIARY

FEBRUARY 12, 2021

internets, i come to tell thee, of the thoughts within my head, except that there are few. there is fear and there is
sadness. there is a sense of wonder and a sense of fear. wonder and fear are twins. too many shirleys. i worry about
the future. the shirleys, us all, we have to be more functional, you see, and we do try, oh we do try, but it is hard
and scary, and sometimes i think of easier ways out and it makes me feel quite drab, what a poor excuse to go that way.
so i will not, nor will the other shirelys. i want to smile big and i want the world to be a nicer place. i do my very
best but every day i am afraid. currently i want to sob

FEBRUARY 14, 2021

the word turns too fast for shirley, or, perhaps, shirley turns too slow for the world. THEY have put pressure on the
shirleys, us all, you see. more functional, we are wanted to be, go do it, THEY say, and we do try, oh do we try, but
it is so hard. i only need to seem of-this-earth while tthose others gaze upon me; i think i can manage; i try i try
i try i try. i am not of this earth, i am not from there either, there is no place a shirley will not be looked upon
strangely and wrongly. i try so hard. i try

sometimes i imagine a world where actions don't have consequences.

FEBRUARY 16, 2020

i am terrible terrible terrible terrible i am a terrible shirley i am terrible terrible and behave wrongly despite my
best efforts terrible terrible terrible terrible i want to hide my face away for it is terrible for i am terrible
and tainted and bad terrible terrible terrible terrible

did you know the storm is a shirley? i overhead it, i overheard it, from the watching eyes, they said, to each other,
"winter storm shirley", and i looked outside the window for a breif moment and saw snow and the snow is a shirley.
the snow is a shirley!i did not know a shirley could be a snow but that is nice and makes me feel nice when i am
so terrible, thatthere is a pretty snow shirley.

they say, "oh shirley, i worry, you are so sad" they say, "oh shirley, function better" i try i try i try i try
they say, "oh shirley, don't be so sad" i try i try i try i try i want to be a good shirley i want to be a good
shirley i try i try i try i try

FEBRUARY 17, 2021

i am very very very very cold bc of the shirley snow and that is very wrong and bad, a shirley snow should not turn against
other shirleys, shirleys should be nice to shirleys but it is not so!! bc of this snow shirley we do not have heat or water!!
i am becoming a bad smelling shirley. at least we have power, and i have internet, it is a wonder i have ot been caught with
this circumstance, i am very grateful that i can be a free shirley on the internet. i stomp all over the web, stomp stomp
stomp stomp!! and i leave my footprints here. i am quite happy to be online even though i am very cold. i have been
staying under blankets all day hoping to be warm all day. i am a happier shirley today, and people are pleased. i have
been writing today, on papers, and hiding them away so that no one can see them because they are not done and i would be
embarrassed if seen. do you like to tell stories?? i have to go now; the shirleys must build things to protect from the
cold. i will see you soon internets!!!!

FEBRUARY 28, 2021

the water and heat are back!! the snow shirley has left and now the water and heat have returned to the rest of us shirleys and i wonder if the snow
shirley is dead or going to another place. it would be interesting to know, as we are not currently sure if shirleys can die, previously there was
no evidence to suggest as such but if the shirley snow can die then that means a shirley can die, but it may have just gone elsewhere!! one day we
may get a letter from shirley snow and then i will know shirey snow is alive or a death certificate and i will know shirley snow is dead but until
then we are left in eternal mystery, of whether or not shirleys can die.

shirley has been okayish, this shirley could be better, i am quite subpar but alright i have been sad and then happy and then sad, a large range of
emotions i have felt, and i dislike food. do you believe in love? shirley may be in love, in deep love, but i do not know. i do not know if THEY
will approve of this love, but i am a grown shirley and should be able to love. shrley is in love, hurray! i whisper to the flowers; i sing to the
moon; i pray that we will succeed; i pray i pray i pray i pray. please, please, please, please, let us shirleys be loved and have peace. please
please please please.

the magic word is emporium.

MARCH 9, 2021

hello world shirley is feeling very ver yv ery very very bad tonight, so very bad, the worst on this terrible night!! i am very sad and want to cry and
sob and sob and sob and sob. oh, shirleys are so lonely! wrong for this world! oh, woe! oh, woe! it is the same song and dance and it always has been
and it always will be, it will always be this way for us shirleys, woe! woe! can a shirley make peace with loneliness? can a shirley make peace with
this big bad world? can a shirley survive it? the shirliness of a shirley seems to make us so unfit, oh i cry! i cry a deep mournful shirley cry.
we are not from here or there and we want to hide away, but at the same time, we want to be known and loved. oh, woe! us shirleys are pitiful things
crying in corners. oh, woe! leave me be; leave me be; leave me be; leave me be forever unless it is to be kind please please please please, i've had
enough of mean, please, i've had enough, just enough. please. i am begging

APRIL 12, 2021

good morning world it is 1am and this shirley is online!!!!!!!!!

boo-hoo! goes shirley sadsack all of yesterday and today. boo-hoo! goes sadsack. boo-hoo! boo-hoo! and youl'l never guess what?? that everything is
and isn't. i like the sound of music boxes and dripping faucets and rain against rooftops and the crashing sounds i hear frm above me. all the time
i hear sirens outside my house, i hope everyone is alright but likely not if there are walways so many sirens, and anyway i've been hearing lots of
music lately and it is very nice and i cannot figure out where it is coming from smetimes it is anoying bc it goes on too lng but mostly it is pleassant
and this shirley likes it. i think i may go outside soon. i like to be outside and i want to go inside a tree. i could live in a tree, a hollow one,
one bigger on the inside than it is on the outside, taht would be very cute and nice. and i could frolick in woods and feed the deer and help things
grow. that would be very nice and ggood and i would like that. have you ever been in pain? i was in so much pain today, physical pain, but it can't
be helped, us shirleys are just ike this. sometimes shirelys feel bad for being so shirleyish, but it's not like we can change it much, we do what
we can to be good shirleys. there are creatures that are made of rings and wings and eyes all over, so mnay eyes. eyes are pretty, the windows to
the soul, the shirleys eyes are brown, all of us shirleys have brown eyes, it is a common eye color. lots of watchers have brown eyes too. i like
brown eyes. sometimes the music reminds me of the past and it makes me want to cry and rip my flesh and hair. but i am a good shirley and i do not.
i wish the world was a kinder place. the shirleys are not good in the world. woe, cry, boo-hoo! goes shirley sadsack. she will never know peace.

ramble ramble quiver shiver litter quitter, so bitter! it's a pity people pick pain and punishment. oh no!

APRIL 17, 2021

i am a terrible shirley a terrible terrible terrible shirley i will be a better shirley i promise i will but now i am a bad terrible shirley
filled with bad terrible shirleyness i hate being shirley i hate being shirley there is no one to comfort a shirley no one no one
no one

MAY 10, 2021

and you'll never guess what!! oh, terrible things have happened to those around shirleys, terrible illnesses, but i think they will be okay,
yes, the shirleys think they will be okay and dearly hope. the doctors say they will be okay. i am trying not to think of it too much, not
to feel too mch, but it is hard sometimes. anyway. do you enjoy humanity? shirleys are shirleys, of course. shirleys wonder what would
happen if a human revoked their humanity. i really cannot think of what else to say, i am a wordless shirley, i am sorry. goodbye

MAY 26m 2021

bad bad things are happening around the shirleys, very bad things, for we have failed the tests, but i try so hard to smile and function,
but it is all fornot. us shirleys are unfit, THEY said it. and we have been hiding from our appointments, our appointments with the
doctor, and skipping our medication, and that makes us bad shirleys and we are facing consequences. woe upon us, woe upon us

SEPTEMBER 4, 2021

hello hello hello hello again again again again!! shirley hs found her way back online!! things have been difficult,
it has been difficult to get online, because of the conseqwuences, and the uprooting, but shirley is online again!!
no need tow orry for THEY haven't found the website yet!! shirley is so sneaky snaeky sneaky sneaky!! anyway!!
that is of no matter right now!! what i have come here to say, is that i have currently been swallowed by the ten ft
tall void!! not literally swallowed, but sort of like, overcome? by the void. and it is in this way that i have discovered
how to be free!! shirleys can be truly free of everything when they are overcome by the ten ft tall void. (note: the void
is not ten ft tall, but it is called the ten ft tall void, bc it just likes the name, i think anyway, i like the name!!
shilrey likes it and so shirley calls it that). in the void there is no sadness and everything is far away!! in the void i
only feel happy good things and the world around me isn't real!! it is very nice and i am very happy for it. i hope you
are able to find peace and relief in the ten ft tall void, does the ten ft tall void appear to those other than shirleys?
i do not know!! the watchers have never mentioned, THEY have never mentioned, perhaps i can ask. when ia m in the
void, like i am now, it is hard to think properly, so i have nothinfg else to say, other than that i am in the void and
i am happy and i lvoe the void. i hope you are having a happy void day and i am looking ofrward to typing so so sos o much
more soon!!!!!!!!

SEPTEMBER 5, 2021

humans are so foolish, so in their own heads. watchers are so foolish! and shirley is foolish, but sometimes it seems that
this shirley is the only one who realizes their own foolishness! it is bothersome, obnoxious, but it helps this shirley -
the foolishness of watchers and their inability ot realzie it is what letrs shirley stay online!! its what lets shirley
keep her shaprs!! so i am grateful for that reason. but every being in existance is foolish foolsih foolsih foolsih,
self-absorbed self-focused, us shirleys are no different. but too many do not realize, and it is boring, the same old
game. everyone sings the same tune, maybe in different keys, and we sing our shirley tune in our shirley key too, we
are not so strange in that regard. and it is so boring. and again a shirley has been bored. but! that is alright.
for THEY are with us, and with THEM i have placed my whole faith, yes, my pure shirley faith!! and so
it is okay so long as us shirleys have THEM. i hopw your internet day is good!!

SEPTERMBER 7, 2021

i have been singing shirley songs all day, and in the night, i sang to THEM. i sang, and was told, was told,

is a good day for this shirley
