SEPTEMBER 11TH, 2003: SLEEP, SLEEP AND MORE SLEEP (DEPRIVATION)
Ah, my big gaping hole in my gum still hurts, but not as bad as it shoul- yet. I woke up yesterday morning with it bleeding again which wasn't a good sign (and the fact that my body woke me at 0530hr I had hours to complain about it). So before class I took my fat ass to the nurse who said that it was beginning to clot, which is what it is meant to do. I don't think that it has done more than a sprinkle of blood since then, and perhaps only because I grind my teeth, awake and asleep.
I woke up in the middle of the night last night and the clot had come loose, so I am waiting for the dry socket pain to begin. Yipee! Maybe I should just get all my teeth pulled at once and have perfect dentures.
No thanx, I'd be too paranoid of throwing up in front of someone or chocking on them. I am a nut.
So for the moment I am going to complain about my sleeping habits, though it wouldn't be such a pain in the ass if I succeeded in doing something constructive with my time.
I was tired yesterday evening so I decided that yes, 2030hr was a resonable hour to go to be. So I lay there until 2230hr staring at the back of my eyelids until I finally drifted off. Only to wake 3 hourss later and be WIDE awake. And a headache to boot. I tried my darndest to get back to sleep which only made my headache worse, but at about 0420hr I finally got back to sleep for a further 2 hours, give or take the few times that I woke up in between. I have one of theose over slept headaches. Grrrf.
Maybe when I can't sleep I should do homework! LMAO
As for maverick, I think that I will continue on him later. Energy is compleely right, he is out of my life completely, which is why I am going to write everything in a big block, so I don't have to think or write about him later. If I get it all out now, then that is that. The little fucker can go contract some real virus and stay away from humanity for a while. See how many people really hate him.
But I will do that later. I am now going to do a little- ahem- cleaning. And hug the little girl that jst put n three jumpers and a pair of jeans set aside for next year. |
Cheers.

FREEING BOOKS
So I was over at Mac's this morning and read this particular entry regarding another thing over here. Now, I think that I am going to sound silly when I say that I actually participated in this:
On Sept. 11th, join a "poetical happening" and free a book!
Because a book is a symbol of freedom, sharing and tolerance...
On Sept. 11th, 2003, take a book which is important for you, a book that has changed your vision on the world, write in it a dedication, a few words, or a drawing, and free it!
Leave it on a roadside bench, a bus stop or in a cafe making it available for any unknown reader. In this way, Sept. 11th will be not only an anniversary of tragedy. Together, let us affect this global sorrow with creative and generous action.
A general mobilization from Bruxelles, Paris, Florence, San Francisco, Denver, Chicago, New York, Seattle, Whidbey Island and more. Almost all over the world, readers, artists, writers, poets, and publishers of vision and heart will free books that are important for them on Thursday, Sept. 11th, 2003.
Get involved and tell your friends. Readers, authors, publishers - free a book, because a book is a symbol of freedom, sharing and tolerance.
Yes, I freed a book on the streets of Centre City. It took my some time to decide because it is really hard for me to give up one of my books, but I decided upon Dostoyevsky's Notes From The Underground/The Double because it did touch me and I thought that it was an amazing book. There are often times that I feel like I am "chasing sparrows." In fact, often if I see a sparrow it gives me a giggle. It was a great book and I wonder if anyone has picked it up. I left it in a rather bust street, and felt like a right dick doing it, but I really thought that it was a great idea.
So that is my contribution towards bringing happiness to people rather than pity and anger regarding September 11, and October 16, though I think I am the only one that seems to care about the latter.
Terroist acts are happening every single damned day (does anyone remember paracetamol being laced with strychnine? I don't understand why September 11 is considered such much more a terrible act than any other terrorist act to have happened. Then again I am not sure whether or not it was the biggest ever attack, or just the most original. I mean, come one, who would have suspected it?
If it wasn't the biggest ever then maybe it was the publicity that made it such a big thing and the Bush administration used it as an excuse to raid another country.
Oh don't get me wrong, I think what happened was a terrible thing, no one deserves to be wiped out like that (unless you're Phelps), but I do think that it is time that we moved on and tried to be better people. Don't forget the past, just learn from it and try to stop it from ever happening again. Let the poor souls rest. Becasue in the name of those people a lot of atrocities have occured and need to be stopped.
Dammit.
Cheers.

Your comment was brilliant. I'm dumb for not thinking of it myslef.
I just had the strongest sence of de-je-vue! And not just because I tend to comment here. It was really strange. I must be remembering a dream about commenting to you. something about racing to comment before someone else, so that I could stop something bad from happening, but knowing I was already too late and you would never get my comment
