holiday hiatus

my computer is mostly broken also it's christmas so EVERYONE IS MISUNDERSTOOD will be taking a brief hiatus until the new year when i have all of that sorted out thank you for reading bye

the burgeoning tradition of saturday haiku

i would like to meet
a girl named gravity. yeah.
that ought to do it.

bang up job

the argument: i had a long conversation with my brother yesterday about how none of this makes any sense, isn't that funny?

we've all been there

the argument: perhaps an overdue realization seeing as the season has long since changed, but there really is no comparison to the gloomy dread one feels the first time they roll out of bed at 4:30 to realize they have literally slept through every second of daylight

eating rice versus throwing it

the argument: a boy and a girl can have this conversation at any age, but one can't help but wonder when is the right time for a robot's take on the subject

leave your shirt on

the argument: i am in a new place and i can't sleep it is currently five a.m. my eyes hurt to shut and i yearn desperately for sleeping pills that actually work or if someone wants to donate a large blunt object

human after all

the argument: the moral here is that parents ruin fun

based on a true story

the argument: i will not tell you the story

somewhere and somewhere else

the argument: we start to wonder what exactly is the robot's purpose living in the boy's house

he never leaves the house

the argument: a mishap

ANNOUNCEMENT:

starting tonight, everyone is misunderstood will now post every day monday through friday every week every month and so on and i will never sleep again thank you

she should lighten up

the argument: we can make a number of inferences about these people from the things they say in this episode; meanwhile the robot wants attention

depression and alliteration

the argument: apparently the boy is crippled by even the most insignificant of problems; we wonder at his immaturity, and question why the girl bothers to stay with him

why i avoid onomatopoeia

the argument: the boy may be a lot of things, but his capacity for silence demonstrates surpassing prudence

mortality and tchotchkes

the argument: we can reasonably assume that the two people have known each other for a very long time but they are surprised at the robot's keen perception; he knows the circumference of the boy

brilliant

the argument: the robot's programming is sufficiently advanced that it can apply its machine-like models of efficiency to everyday interpersonal problems, with uniformly ingenius results

odd pantry venture

the argument: there are those people who are comfortable expressing things they honestly like about the people they know, but we wonder if there are maybe certain moments that are best for that sort of thing

first aspect of the same thing

the argument: we meet the robot and his inscrutable companions, but perhaps we catch them at a bad time
